I just want to know why we aren't putting it on the ground on 3rd and 5 or less? Just once in the first half...we have Hyde, who is gashing their D with the help of the OLine. Use that weapon.

I don't get that either. Outside of 1 play, it's been worth 5-10yds per carry for him. There's no reason not to give him the ball 2nd and middle then 3rd and short.

I really just think they're overthinking this offense with Brax's "ability". He looks confused, slow, disoriented and nothing like the guy who was 5th in the Heisman voting.

The O hasn't been themselves for sure tonight, but games and situations like this really underscore where our D really is in comparison to pre 2011. These games that the O is sluggish will always be that much harder when we routinely give up 24+ per game to nobody’s and more to those with a plan and or talent. Hope we can get it together-alot can happen in 30 min :)

I'm telling you, it's the injuries. He is playing scared and lacks toughness.

Expecting a very high scoring 2nd half for both sides. Leading by 10 going to the 4th QR isn't going to mean a whole lot in this game.

Glad we finally brought some pressure on 3rd downs in the redzone. One more three man passrush inside the ten yardline I hope Urban fires the D-coordinator on the spot.

They have gotten completely away from what worked in the first half. Braxton being asked to do something leads to Braxton forcing things and making mistakes. I am not against KennyG getting the call. We want to win games, not pad BM's heisman (deteriorating) chances. But whatever.

Braxton is struggling. He isn't the same player as last year for whatever reason. I know it would really shake things up, but this offense had a drastically different feel with Guiton running things. I know the competition was not of Northwestern's caliber (never thought I'd type that), but if Braxton continues to struggle then Guiton deserves a shot.

I have to say I know braxton Is a dangerous runner but kenny gets our weapons the ball the best. So far I see a trend and that trend is with kenny we are under control and with braxton we are prone to having luls of misreads and errors. Buffalo, wisconsin, and now this game the offense just doesn't look poised every drive

Are the Buckeyes legitimate NC contenders? We'll find out in the second half. Northwestern has a scrappy bunch, but if the Bucks can't beat them dreams of crystal footballs are just a fantasy.

Time to step up. Go Bucks!
