Defense
After the intial first couple drives I thought they played very well....... thats until #18 came in.... I'm sick and tired of this soft zone [censored], and I for one hope definate things are done in the off season. Does anyone know what was wrong with Fox??? Also I think Underwood is really suck'n out there right now..... I thought the D-Line had a pretty good game actually... Only thing that killed us was the short stuff and then the outside runs..... It kinda felt like playing North Western all over again......

Yeah, doens't help that 3/4ths of the starting defensive backfield is hurt..
I was [censored]ed about the total lack of pass rush unless 2-3 LBs blitz, and then it was only 50/50... Got to change that in the next week

I was sick seeing Underwood come on the CB blitz on go for the fake instead of pounding Orton.

I didn't understand when we left the cover 5...or at least mix it in some. Hell, the man under was giving them fits

wasn't the d's fault. by the 4th quarter they were all exhausted and sucking wind. shocking seeing as how we had lb's on wr's ALL GAME. its absolutely amazing that we held them to 24.
if you can't count on your offense for AT LEAST 20 points you don't deserve to win, period.

So they get a free pass for Orton going 6/6 down the field for an easy score? Sorry, but with the game on the line, a great D sucks it up and gets the stop.

The DL needed to make a play on the last drive and didn't get any pressure on Orton.
The defense played admirably for 1 1/2 quarters in the 2nd half - but they are very culpable in this loss.

osugrad21 - Bob Davie is evidently much better from the booth than he was on the sidelines.
Called early that this could come down to tOSU's backfield standing tall. It did.
The D-line can help the secondary stand tall by bringing pressure. At a crucial time, when they had Purdue half-way thinking that things were destined to go the Buckeyes way -- the D-Line could not get rush. Orton connects. 17-24 Purdue over tOSU end of story .
For those keeping count-- Unless Troy connects for 6 pts on either of the interceptions, or tOSU keeps ball and gets 6 pts from FGs it still ends up as 24-23 in favor of Purdue.
Too many Injuries. No Fox - No Salley -- No Win
