RU: 1st Place B1G Offense, 18th Place Defense

[ScarletDave]

That’s the story from the broadcast today. We are leading the Big Ten in scoring points per game a third way into the season (a dream come true), and yet dead last 18th in points given up (a nightmare). Who could have imagined this putrid defense from a Pike coached team. Never imagined we’d see the two polar opposites from this team.

Reminds me of what the band used to chant:

DE-FENSE! (we got no)
DE-FENSE! (we need some)
DE-FENSE! (where's our...)

Our defense is horrific. Not to single out one guy but People act like jwill is good. He’s a statue.

That is a billshit excuse. They were home and off for a full week.

Clearly the effort was terrible. Lots of pathetic meball at the end their when we still had a punchers chance

Lost today because Harp and Ace only combined for 30. We were competitive in Vegas because the they were combining to score 45-50.

 

[FIJI'83]

Texas A & M held Harp to 18 by trapping him. Pikell should have anticipated OSU to do the same and schemed countermeasures. He didn’t. Teams will follow this blueprint from now on. What’s Pike going to do about it? Ha, Ha.

im just throwing it there...the $$$ seems taboo to be discussed but an extra $1 million was a big incentive

does that $1 million go to the current players? I thought it was paid to the school's NIL collective fund.

i assume this is dispersed to these players

That money should be used for next season's recruiting. What a waste to distribute it to the current roster!

well i thought that was part of the incentive...and why couldnt Pike sell that to portal players

 

[rufan4ever]

I don't understand. In that case, Pike had an excellent selling point and this is all he could get?
What I read is the Vegas money goes to each school's NIL collective.
Can anyone clarify?
