*****Iowa vs Ohio St Game Thread*****

i’ve been hard on tj hall but he’s shown himself so far to be a parker level cb. hope he keeps improving to all b1g type
 
Why run the ball on 3rd down???

Even a deep pick doesn't hurt you.

At this point, the goal seems to be to keep it close.

That last sack could have been a penalty as the OSU purposely lifted his legs to trip Cade.
 
Well, it could be worse. Not too bad for a team that has made several mistakes and the refs are going out of their way to make life more difficult for them. Only down 7-0 for a team that doesn't seem interested in scoring any points, it could be a lot worse. We'll see if they make adjustments at halftime.

osu will look different after the break. but i believe so will iowa to the better.
 
Our best defense is if OSU decides to pass. We haven’t been able to stop their run game
 
Some say this Ohio State team will win the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
OSU is playing very conservatively. They know they don't need to score a lot of points to win, they just need to keep Iowa from scoring which isn't really that hard. Same playbook as the last two times they played. I'm not sure Iowa's defense will tire out as quickly in the 2nd half this time though since they've actually been able to get a few first downs but Iowa is going to have to do something to change the dynamic and score points.
 
What was the point of the fake fake fg?

It was a fake fake all along. Kirk standing next to the ref waiting to call the timeout the second before the snap. What's the point there?
 
That's a much better first half outcome than I expected. D bent all over the place, but prevented more scoring and made big plays. And O wasn't terrible. Got more 1st downs and had more TOP than I would have thought.

To only be down 7 at halftime is amazing, but only if you ignore the fact Iowa c/should actually be up 10(or even 13/17)-7 after the first 30.

no they weren’t being conservative. iowa’s d is keeping big plays down and forcing methodical drives while our O has posessed the ball. it’s not like they went fir it on 4th down twice because they are being conservative
 
Worst play was when chicken shit peed his pants and called a timeout right before the ball was snapped on the punt fake. So scared.....sad.
