tOfficial Michigan State vs. Ohio State game thread (red cedar message board)

between bottom of page 2 (kickoff) and the end of page 9, bosa's name was mentioned 15 times.

Some of the last posts, page 52:

"No, that's why you're a fucking loser."

"Stop posting jackass"

"Lombardi redshirted, dumbass."

"The depths of the dumbness of this is the most entertaining thing I’ve read today. Thank you."

"Sorry man, but I can't help but agree that this is a really dumb take."

Someone needs to post this on their board:

I wanted to mention that Mike Weber's 82-yard touchdown run was the sixth-longest in Ohio State history, and just the 12th run of 80+ yards in Ohio State history:

Buckeye PlayerOpponent---Year---Yardage
Morris BradshawWisconsin197188
Eddie GeorgeMinnesota199587
J.T. BarrettMinnesota201486
Ezekiel ElliottAlabama201485
Gene FeketePittsburgh194284
Mike WeberMichigan State201782
Tim SpencerDuke198282
Ezekiel ElliottWisconsin201481
Braxton MillerIndiana201181
Ezekiel ElliottVirginia Tech201580
Derek CombsWisconsin200080
Joe MontgomeryIowa199880
A few notes about the above:

Half (6 of 12) of Ohio State's 80+ yard TD runs have come since 2011, with three occurring in the 2014 championship season.

Ezekiel Elliott is the only Buckeye with multiple TD runs of 80+ yards, and he accomplished that feat in just a 4-game span: the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game (Wisconsin); the 2014 Sugar Bowl (Alabama); and the 2015 season opener (Virginia Tech). The only game that Elliott missed busting an 80-yard run was the 2014 National Championship Game (Oregon), and all Zeke did there was rush for 246 yards (4th best single game in Buckeye history) and score 4 touchdowns.

For a number of years, the Ohio State official records credited Gene Fekete with the longest touchdown run in Buckeye history: 89 yards versus Pitt in 1942. However, a few years ago, a video of that play surfaced. The video clearly showed that Fekete's historic run actually started at the Buckeye 16-yard line, so Ohio State reduced the length of touchdown from 89 yards to 84 yards. The play in question occurs at the 42-second mark of this video:



The longest run in Ohio State history was not a touchdown and it never happened (at least according to the NCAA). The play in question came against Michigan in 2010. Daniel Herron received a handoff at the Ohio State 2-yard line and raced down the left sideline for an apparent 98-yard touchdown run. But first a phantom holding call on Buckeye WR Dane Sanzenbacher took away the touchdown and reduced the run to 89 yards. And then NCAA sanctions (Herron was one of the Tatgate participants) wiped the run from the record books. So Morris Brandshaw's 88-yard touchdown run versus Wisconsin in 1971 remains both the longest TD run and longest run from scrimmage in official Ohio State history.

OHIO STATE'S 48-3 THRASHING OF MICHIGAN STATE IN 14 INCREDIBLE GIFS

When the lines were announced last weekend, Ohio State showing up as two-touchdown favorites over Michigan State drew a lot of attention. After all, the Buckeyes were coming off a humiliating road loss to Iowa while the Spartans were rolling, having just dropped Penn State.

Saturday proved once again that Vegas usually knows what's up as Ohio State rolled to a 48-3 win over Michigan State Saturday in a game that was never in doubt.

Here are 14 GIFs that tell the story of that game. To view the GIFs, hover on desktop or touch on your mobile device.

Ohio State fans may have felt their stomachs drop when Michigan State running back L.J. Scott ripped off a 21-yard run on the second play of the game, but two plays later, linebacker Malik Harrison set the tone for the game, sacking Spartan quarterback Brian Lewerke for an 11-yard loss.



A few plays later, Nick Bosa got in on the action, sacking Lewerke for a 12-yard loss and forcing a Michigan State punt. The Buckeyes would record six sacks and nine TFLs on the afternoon.



It was all Mike Weber on Ohio State's first possession of the game as the running back raced 47 yards on 3rd-and-3 to put the Buckeyes on the board.

I was there for Boom's run...I remeber a young kid and his dad sitting in front of me. We were in AA on the goal line in the south end. Kid was bummed that the action was so far away. I told him no worries that Herron was about to go 98 yards...and what do you know? The hold was a good call...just wasnt needed. Boom was going to score any way.

It's pretty amazing how two Spartans let themselves get blocked by Parris Campbell on JK Dobbins' TD in the 2nd quarter. Credit Parris for a great block but whoever the defender in the rear was was way out of position. It's almost like he let himself get blocked out of the play so he didn't have to go try to stand up Dobbins.

I still can't believe the targeting ejection on Jones. I mean I can but it's just such garbage. [Why do you have to take a perfectly expressive word away from me just because some douchebag analyst on ESPN hurt your feelings?]

Did anyone watch the USC-Colorado game later on yesterday? There was a targeting call and they spent a long time reviewing it. It was simar to Arnette's legitimate ejection in the Maryland game. The ball carrier was being tackled and a Trojan came flying in with his head lowered for a helmet-to-helmet hit. The idiot announcers couldn't grasp that the targeting call was made on the second guy who hit with his helmet and were defending the initial tackler. All while replays were being shown over and over in between shots of the player who was actually called for the penalty.

And then, upon extensive review, they reversed the targeting call and the player stayed in the game. It was ridiculous. The inconsistency in the application of the rule has to be addressed. But everyone is afraid to do it because they think it will look like they don't care about player safety.

And now we got to the second stupid targeting call that was quickly overturned. It's such bull[fuck your teenage daughters - that's my replacement term] and I'd like to see evidence of any other team suffering from overly strict interpretation of the rule as much as OSU.
