Ohio Gameday...

[JKinPhilly]

maybe OSU fans were right after all?

j/k...things will be fine

 

[samspann1]

Not a good start for McCord, and nerves can't really be an excuse given the big games he's played.

Dude has played before 100,000 fans. He’s nervous playing at home against a MAC team?

 

[two3zone]

Why the frick aren’t we just running with LeQuint?!

Mccord didn't come to hand the ball off.

 

[Eric15]

I was really hoping to be in a better mood at this point in the game.

That was one of the most blatant missed targeting calls I’ve ever seen, and I would have said the same thing if the roles were reversed and we hit them.

 

[gocraz4dasu]

Our oline outweighs their dline by 50-70 pounds and we have an 1,100 yard rusher (and a 4 star runningback as a back-up). Can we try to impose our will and run the ball next drive?

 

[orangezen]

Clark clearly pushed in back no call

 

[JeremyCuse]

Dome is QUIET

Should they cheer two near picks?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Nice humbling start for people.

Why would people need to be humbled ? The oodles of recent success. ?

 

[Janner]

How was that not a holding in the defender on Clark?!?

 

[samspann1]

No reason to call that block in the back I guess

Still really don’t understand what targeting is.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

The honeymoon is over!

 

[pokercuse08]

Reminds me of my play calling as a kid in the first preseason game in Madden when I had a big off-season and wanted to play with my shiny new toys.

 

[Bayside44]

Brutal start McCord trying to turn it over and as bad an ingame decision as anything Dino ever did not challenging the fumble.

wasnt a fumble.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Well I love that we came out firing.

Didn't love that we sucked.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Mccord didn't come to hand the ball off.

Maybe he should for the first series of the year though..

 

[Irt4su]

Great start. Not one motion or off sides penalty and we still have all three first half timeouts

 

[Jake]

Last throw was late.

 

[23Zone]

Do we still suck?

 

[SuRaider307]

Brutal start McCord trying to turn it over and as bad an ingame decision as anything Dino ever did not challenging the fumble.

Except the review clearly showed the QB was down before it came out.. Fran and crew were right not to challenge..so no i dont think so...

 

[ForCuseSake]

Settle the lads down, Fran.

McCord can leave those craptastic throws back in Columbus.

 

[ithacat]

long year ahead…I think the Wedding Singer is on somewhere.

 

[CuseFan]

that looked like McCord was locking in, and not looking for who is open. really surprised.

lets calm down, run the ball some, run a screen, and spread it around

 

[Sudano]

Clear definition of targeting..no call
Easy no interception call but it's initially called an interception
Oh boy

 

[pokercuse08]

Dude has played before 100,000 fans. He’s nervous playing at home against a MAC team?

That's my point, he shouldn't be nervous for this so it's pretty unsettling to see that start - as opposed to the defense that will settle in.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Sound system is way too loud. Worse than ever.
