OSU held on their FG.

Is Kevin Ward OK?


Why did Martin stop returning kicks and ISM go in?

On “the” punt it was out at the 9 around 4 yards out. That math only works if he kicked from our 25.

Did we switch our KO coverage to that lineup on half the field aka Ohio State? First game as I recall it.

Nelson gets held often.

TJH is very good.

Stanley has a cannon, and is getting some touch on back to back to MVB.

Is Bazata OK? I think he came back in and ran well chasing JTB.

I love Drake Kulik.

OSU 35 talks a lot and is great against the run, but can’t cover for $hit.

Great adjustment by BF to sneak Wadley out and underneath the two TE set side. Would of had more if they stayed in man to man.

The fake FG was legal and a brilliant call.

Butler is finding his groove in the zone play.

Not to be outdone-Ross likes smacking people in the hole as well.

Miguel is $$$.

BN is so under rated; such a unique skill set for a LB with that speed and under control.

Bower may have had his best game. EVER.

The OL is very very close to completing imposing their will and running even when the other team knows it’s coming.

Our P may be running the whole practice on Monday.

The last TD was on Jewel-made the play earlier; Bower even pointed to JJ.

OSU #17 will need lots of ICE tomorrow; our FBs abused him.

The entire DL played very very well. The LBs owe them dinner.

Miles Taylor wants to play.
 
The Miles Taylor hit at the end of the game got a big reaction from the crowd.

Still wish he would wrap up!

Have said all along that Hockenson will be a big weapon as well. Fant suprises team with his speed, as he runs away from DB's. Hock is more consistant, runs great routes, and catches everything. May end up being our best duo of tight ends to play at the same time.

Am so happy to see I wasn't the only one that worked out where that "punt" would have originated from given the landing and the spot (I came up with the 24). From what I saw, the side judge had his hat off and on the ground just outside the white line near the 1. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the hat supposed to mark the approximate location of where the ball landed? Isn't it the hat and the official near the punter what creates the line for the side judge to come up? If true, then the 11 was correct based on where the hat was down. Problem is, the hat was 8 yards down field and 4 yards closer to the line. By my math, should have been spotted near the 19 or 20 (trigonometry is pretty cool stuff!)
 
Our TD's yesterday: TE1 had 2, TE2 had 2, FB had 1, defense had 1, RB had 1.

Not often you score 7 td's and only 1 is from a RB or WR.


Every time they motioned both TE's to the same side of the line, something good was about to happen. And it took OSU a long time to adjust to it.


Who has serious ups? That person would be Josh Jackson!


Urban Meyer really didn't know what to say during halftime interview coming off of the field. Urban Meyer really didn't know what to say in post game conference after the game. I like that look on Urban, he should wear it more often.

I visited a Buckeye site and read their game thread. They are just like us, but more spoiled. All their coaches suck, play the wrong players, etc. Seems fanbases all have a similar trait of expecting perfection, who'd a thunk it?

Fant had an incredible catch on the TD where Stanley threw it low and behind.

Barrett of OSU had 1 int for the season entering the game, 5 int's leaving the game

Very smart of our coaches to give up two nearly uncontested deep balls, so they would get overconfident, and abandon the run. I kid, but at same time am glad they went away from run as much as they did.

I was really hoping Butler would make it into the endzone. Want to see James get some TD's as a Hawk.

According to one of the announcers we lined up for a 30 point FG, but I never saw the points awarded even tough the kick was good. We should do the 30 pt FG more often, I think.

Go Hawks

Steve Levy also called us Iowa State before one of the late TDs.
