Congrats to @iacas and all the other Penn State fans for a great win last night! I didn't have a dog in that fight, but great game

Congrats to PSU who showed up to play... unlike OSU.

I'm not a fan of any college sports (except Division III men's golf and only then Penn-State Behrend).

I couldn't care less about the Penn State win, except for the tiny bit of teasing I can do to folks like @georgep. Tiny, because they know the former is true.

I can't even name the PSU head coach. Or starting QB.

my mistake - I thought you were sporting the Nittany Lions logo for a bit - I shouldn't assume

Yeah, I coach the Penn-State Behrend men's and women's golf teams. I was using our Paw logo after we won our conference championship.

Massively disappointing, but you could see it coming.

Ohio State's offense really has not come together yet this year. Hell, Barrett had to run the ball 26 times against Indiana two weeks ago and 21 more in the Wisconsin game. The play-calling has been very limited with almost no vertical element to it. The receivers are very young so the temptation is to blame them and not JT, but it isn't get the job done either way. The rushing game is facing loaded boxes as a result and there aren't many teams that can make that work.

The defense is fairly average at this point. It's one of the weaker pass rushing teams we've seen in awhile. The LBs are competent but not dominate and really the secondary is the only aspect that really seems to be performing well.

Nothing really left but to hope the team uses the rest of the season to get better. They can still make some kind of bowl game and maybe, give The Team Up North a scare in November.

I'm an UM alum but was pulling for Ohio to play well and win.   I still believe "THE" game will be good.  

It looks like the offense is afraid to open up and throw the ball down the field.   I'm surprised they didn't try to run an option or more play action either.  

This is not the OSU defense that we are use to seeing.  They did limit Penn State to very few yards but didn't make the stops when they were needed.   Usually OSU is stifling.  They haven't been impressive.    

They will get it together.
