Game Thread Buffalo Bulls at tOSU, Aug 31, 12 ET, ESPN2

Agree with everything. Clem/Geo looked better but really opened up their playbooks though both defenses weren't impressive at all. Once we get our guys in place on D, we hang with either team and believe end results would be a toss up.

I thought both LB corps were horrific comparatively

Glad to see the Bucks come out blazing. That 1st qtr met or exceeded expectations on both sides of the ball. The next 3 qtrs? Blah, ugh, meh.

Taylor Decker now leads the nation in "look out" pass blocks. Gotta fix that.

Reeves was really getting picked on. Grant looked great - both of them. We will have 2 really fine CB's when Roby comes back.

It's easy to look at the negative things that happened Sat and obsess over them. I am actually encouraged. They showed what they can do and most of the problems they had are fixable. We are fine. We don't have to be the best team in the BIG or the nation in week 1.

Ohio State v. Buffalo: Offensive Breakdown

Turnovers, injuries, and negative plays marred what was otherwise a solid statistical performance by the Ohio State offense.

The Buckeyes came out fast, but consciously made the decision to slow down and close the playbook in the second half following several unforced errors. Buffalo's quirky scheme and first-round draft candidate Khalil Mack also forced the Buckeyes into negative plays, taking the Buckeye offense off-schedule in forcing second and third and longs.

The Buckeye offense can improve their yards per points simply by eliminating mistakes. Getting starters back like Corey Linsley and using Braxton Miller running when the defense presents opportunities will also take the offense to the next level.

Contd....

Great read

Awesome assesment of the game. Just glad he didn't get anymore detailed. Opposing teams would start studying his intelligence!

One thing you guys aren't doing is giving credit to Buffalo. As Urban said, they are a good team. I think they'll go bowling this year.

Not to pick on you, ant, but

Oof. :(

Oof. :(

Oops. Got the wrong score but it did only take that bowl-bound Buffalo team 5 OTs to defeat Stony Brook

The only question is Sugar or Orange?

Bowl-eligible after the clock hits zero on their 41-21 lead in the 4th quarter against Kent State.

6-2?

See how they stack up against NIU.

 

[JCOSU86]

Well, I am here to admit I was wrong. Buffalo is better than the year they won the MAC a few years ago. 6-2 is good. Goes to show that Meyer may just know more about football than me.

Shocking, I know.

They're 7-2 now, they beat the dogpiss out of Ohio last Tuesday.
