That was too easy compared to ND’s drive

I thought ND’s drive did its job and wasn’t too difficult either (maybe harder than OSU) and also ate clock which is a positive for them.

Only thing is not sure if it’s sustainable to rely on Leonard to that extent.

40 carries? Not sure? No way.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Sawyer is going to be a problem against this RT. Send him help and they’ll start adding a blitzer.

 

[rutgersguy1]

40 carries? Not sure? No way.

Mentioned the most he’s had in a game is 18 so even anything in the 20s would be a lot.

OSU offense looks like a warm knife through butter. Possessions may be limited, but ND is going to have to keep pace, which I don’t see happening.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Agree with this and have said the same, no need to be Michigan.

This is an important drive considering OSU gets the ball out of half. Not exactly middle 8 yet but ND has been good in capitalizing in the middle 8.

Agree with this too.

Missed opportunity for ND defense to get off the field there. 3rd & 7 conversion for OSU. Gotta do a lot better on 3rd down if you’re ND.

Here’s another chance on the other side of the 2 minute timeout…3rd & 5.

Note: I prefer OSU to win, but sort of hoping for something competitive to keep my attention.

 

[ClassOf02]

And another 3rd & 7 conversion for OSU….6-6 on 3rd down.

There you go another pass to the RB.

Game over? 21-7 Buckeyes

 

[rutgersguy1]

In 3 out of 4 playoff games, Howard has taken it up a notch or two.

 

[MCRU93]

I thought this was going to be the ND team to beat the blowout curse. I still thought that OSU was going to come away with the win but it looks like it might be another ND disappointment.

Still another half of ball but we will see

[Knight Shift]

What the hell is this half time show?

 

[RUAldo]

Freeman killed his O on the opening drive. Too much Leonard and now the kid and line are gassed.

 

[newwavedave1]

Go Buckeyes! Score a TD on the 2nd half opening drive, and this game is all but over.

 

[mdk01]

With all the credit to Howard the OSU WRs are being overlooked.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Goodnight

 

[rutgersguy1]

Explosive RBs and nice play design

ND going to get killed.

Ryan Day about to get the monkey off his back.

 

[ru109]

Not sure who the halftime performer was but he was on the pregame show and he said Ohio State was going to win by 50. He might not be that far off.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Ohio state pass rush this half is going to cause problems

 

[ashokan]

Ohio St #1 pass defense in CFB

 

[RULoyal]

 

[mdk01]

I should have known. First time this season an OSU opponent got called for offensive holding on the second series.

 

[RUSK97]

Barring an Irish comeback, this is a snoozefest

 

[ashokan]

I just didn't want a blowout.

 

[RUSK97]

Ok, here comes the comback?

 

[ashokan]

SHOVEL PASS!

Everybody uses them successfully except RUknowho

 

[Knight Shift]

Monangai>>>>Ebuka. Monangai did not fumble at all in his career.

 

[ClassOf02]

That’s a fumble & clear recovery.

 

[Knight Shift]

SHOVEL PASS!

Everybody uses them successfully except RUknowho
