lol did you watch the second half.

It took Indiana forty two passes to get to 420 and they forced two INTs. Yes IU have a really good WR he was a beast. OSU was also starting three new DBs and there was a point where it took three passes to get a completion to their 6'5" WR

Dude I didn't watch the game, but that's still 10 ypa and a much higher YPC. You aren't allowed to say your DBs were legit as gently caress when you allow 4 players to get over 50 yards receiving, they spread the ball around and you guys weren't locking down anyone. OSU is clearly a good team with better talent and depth than Indiana, so yeah sure they pulled away, but don't defend that as some vintage defensive performance.

42 passes aint even that much for a modern offense when Leach will throw that fucker 70 times in a game.

I will be happy to be wrong but I kinda think Bama is going to beat FSU fairly comfortably and the game will probably be super ugly and boring. FSU's oline kinda sucked last year.

Look, just because Deondre Francois doesn't know his name and can't tie his shoes anymore doesn't mean their OL was bad per se

The Ohio State CBs looked really bad. That said, I think Cobbs and Hale are much better than anyone thinks.

As a whole, Ohio State looked like a team with a really inexperienced secondary, a brand new OC and an O line with a first time starter and other guys in new positions on the line.

There's a lot of poo poo that needs fixed before the second game, but they pretty much looked close to what I thought they would, which is a super talented team with a decent amount of work left to do.

You realize that doesn't really make it much better? 10 YPC is still a not great value. That's basically saying you let Indiana's QB play at a top 20 level when considering how QBs ranked over last season.

No one here is saying OSU isn't going to win a bunch of games, but that first effort wasn't impressive.

Those YPA would have been bottom fifty last year, on a YPC basis hat would have been the third worst mark in the NCAA.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
Indiana's numbers plummeted because OSU outclassed them with the depth, they were gashing them in the first half. It wasn't dink and dunk bullshit, it was major lapses in coverage leading to entirely too much single coverage for a secondary that green. The worrying thing, as said, is what happens when you meet a team you can't just outlast with depth like oh say, Oklahoma in a week.

OSU will probably be fine if they can get past OU (maybe PSU?) but JT Barrett playing awful for a half and the D going retarded against Baker Mayfield next week is going to get you a big fat loss.

If I was an OSU fan I'd be way more worried about Oklahoma than I was 24 hours ago.

Part of my brain is telling me Tulane could lose to Grambling because they were good last year, the other part is telling me Tulane has never lost to an FCS opponent. I hope the season doesn't smash my hopes in week 1. I just want them to get to a bad bowl.

Normally I would agree with you but this is still a Mike Stoops coached defense who gave up nearly 800 yards to Mahommes. Hopefully with the addition of Ruffin Mcneill that wont happen again.
