Good chance to bounce back and prepare for Penn State the following week. Raiola will also provide a good test for our secondary again. Need them to come through.

If a true freshman quarterback exploits Ohio State's secondary, then there are serious issues with the defense.

I know you are putting in the context of facing a freshman QB, but since the Clemson game in 2019, if there is one thing we know, there are serious issues with this Defense when it faces quality competition and a critical stop is needed.  You don't need to remind me that Nebraska doesn't fall into the category of an elite offense, but regardless, the credibility of this D is suspect from the line to the secondary to its coaching staff.  I don't know how much more proof we need, B.  I am tired of listening to Knowles' b.s. and how much love everyone has for L.J.   It's put up for or shut up time.

Another true test for our Dline to pressure (and sack!) the QB, who was almost one of ours. I love visiting Memorial Stadium and its fans, but that is NOT a reason to show any mercy. That means you Michalski . . .next man up!! We got your back; you blow them out the front! Get ready Fitzpatrick; get ready Armstrong. GO Buckeyes!

If your opponent knocks you on your ass, honor the game and RESPECT him. But Gentlemen, no bastard ever won a football game by getting knocked on his ass. You won it by knocking the other poor dumb bastard on his ass and making HIM respect YOU!!

Will be interesting to see how the Nebraska vs Indiana game goes. 

Bucks have a chance to rebound after a hard loss and that's what I expect to happen.

That will be the first really legit defense that Indiana has faced this year.  We'll find out a lot more about both teams in that one.

I was going to post this very thing. If the Huskers keep it close or win, this line will definitely cone down. It's already too high imho.

Normally id want a night game ( as this clinches we have ZERO good night games at home) but we need to bounce back and then have more time for Penn state

Speaking of night games, I seen the PSU game time is still listed as TBD.  Do we know for sure that *wont* be a night game?  Or is there still a chance it will be? I would breathe easier knowing it's at noon and not 8:00pm!!

It has been strongly hinted at that FOX has first pick of the B1G slate that week. So while it is not official official, it is highly highly likely it is a Big Noon game.

HS

Fox also has the World Series. A Game 7 would most likely Nov 2. I think the time has to be set 5 days in advance at the latest, and is usually set 12 days in advance like today for Nebraska.

HS

I could be wrong but I thought Penn State could only do the whiteout once a year. I really think this game will be on Fox as it will likely be a top 5 matchup.

Penn State could do a white out every game if they wanted lol

On Joel Klatt's podcast last week, he said about the OSU v PSU game...

"I would highly anticipate that Gus and I would be there.  I'm just saying, I just think that I would highly anticipate that. Just throwing it out there, just throwing it out".

In the past Joel has "telegraphed" Big Noon locations like this on his podcast.  So while the official announcement won't likely be made until next Monday, sure sounds like a Big Nooner.  (Buckeye-in-DC, I recommend breathing easier :^)

I may not trust Joel's comments on certain topics anymore, but regarding a game being on Big-Noon he's probably pretty trustworthy.

Also fwiw , my psu coworker  said their nov  2 game against Washington is their official “white out” game, 

so yeah most likely we getting the big noon game. 

HS

Indiana could possibly be a night game. With the new TV contracts I don’t know if the programs have the same ability to opt out of November night games like they used to.

HS
RBloodworth's picture

I believe both programs still have to agree to playing a night game in November, and OSU will never agree to play a night game a week before TTUN.  You can mark the Indiana game down as a Big Nooner, IMO.  If OSU has another home night game this year, it will be Purdue on BTN.

HS

Somebody has to play 7:30 on NBC though. So what if everyone refuses? Does the B1G step in?

HS
RBloodworth's picture

USC vs. UCLA is that week.  That matchup has lost a lot of luster now, but, it’s still a big rivalry.  Those two schools would lose their minds if that game got put on Peacock or BTN, and it’s not going to be a Nooner.  That leaves NBC or CBS.

Wait, based one the gameday threads, our season is over. We are still playing?

Raiola is going to throw a lot and he's good. Will Burke start?

Yes he will unless he gets injured between now and the game

Pressure the guy. He is a freshman. That’s the problem though, we don’t pressure.

No surprise here.  Just like it won't be when it is announced next week that the @PSU is Big Noon as well.

How do you know that Fox has the #1 pick on 11/02?

See comment above on Joel Klatt podcast. Most likely legit

It's going to be a long 2 weeks. It's a long time to think what coulda, shoulda, woulda been.  Too bad the bye isn't the following week.

Don't eat the salad. They are trying to poison us.

Two weeks?

10/26 will be a bad day to be a Husker, I promise you.

I know a guy who moved from here in Tennessee to Nebraska a couple years ago for work. Suddenly this year he's become a huge freakin Husker fan and is constantly posting about them and acting like he's been a fan forever and it bugs the heck out of me.

I hope OSU beats them by 50.

I hate noon games, terrible. can we get a night game in the shoe so all these old ass fans that are quiet, sitting on their hands stay home.

I’d bet very strongly that Purdue on 11/9 will be a night game on BTN.  The Buckeyes will want a home night game, Purdue will want the prime time exposure for recruiting, and BTN will want the OSU ratings.

HS

highly accurate a nothing game, might a be a good one to get tickets to attend.

I am sure that Dylan "Let me change my mind 5 more times" Raiola will get a warm Buckeye welcome from the fans......

Raiola is another dual threat quarterback and dual threat quarterbacks have success against Knowles defenses. I expect Nebraska will give the Buckeyes all they can handle. 

If you can’t make a fourth and one, you don't deserve to win.

HS
OSUAlumInAZ's picture

The Huskers aren't there yet, but most definitely an improving team. Agreed.

He's a dual threat like the statue of liberty. The last thing he wants to do is run.

HS

No, he is not. He's a pro style QB that will only run when he's being chased--and I hope he's running for his life that day.

The “get right” game. Let’s go, boys.

First it was Hairball now its Lanning. I guess Dabo got him to. Ryan 3 point Day gets exposed then says we will have to fix those issues. Maybe the issue is you. All the talent in the world and we can't win big games. Time to look in the mirror. Sick of all the Hype year after year to only see Day gag it. Turn the horses loose and rush the QB and let the historic secondary do their thing. Oh wait maybe they aren't historic. Maybe the o-line isn't that good. Who knows what team we have.

HS
gr8bucks's picture

You like some other fans seem to think they have a world championship team every year. Maybe they are simply better than most.

HS

And maybe the guys on the other team have schollies too.....oh, wait......they're getting paid too.  Especially at Oregon.
