Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I don't know if they would have smoked them but they probably would have passed the ball better.  Either way both teams had one of their worst offensive outputs of the season so I'm not sure we should be all that shocked.  I was surprised Indiana made a game of it after watching the first half - Tuttle had a really hard time throwing the ball without one hopping it.  Of course, who knows it Tuttle is any good at all with a healthy shoulder.

Tuttle looked pretty good in Madison.

Yes. Just reading the tea leaves the defensive line is the hardest hit, which definitely downgrades OSU's chances because that is the best part of their defense and their only hope at slowing down Bama. But that's all I'm doing, reading tea leaves.

well that sucks. i stand by what i said earlier. if it's 1-2 players, no need to postpone, but if it's a whole position group or significant portion of the team then it probably should be. of course, that's if there's some way for them to be back in a reasonable time frame. if they're going to be out 3 weeks then it sucks but you can't wait that long. there's got to be a middle ground somewhere.

well, if you couldn't steal signs before the hit on Fields, why would you think you could steal signs in the 2nd half?

still wondering why Venables didn't come after Fields in the 2nd half, it was his only hope.

Because he’s relied on stealing signs ? how often have you seen a playoff defense that out sync?

I’ve heard rumors togiai might be back in, I can only hope

Also saw D Wade saying he knows who he wants matched up with lol, he hasn’t stopped anyone all year and now gonna slow down heisman winner ?

I read some good analysis of Wade, from a pro site.

they pointed out that he has been asked to be in more of a soft zone coverage for a large majority of plays. Most often when Ohio State has had the lead or when facing an explosive offense. They say he does that as well as anyone and that is part of his appeal for the NFL. Also he grades out fairly well in press/man coverage. Not elite but certainly NFL level. They also Point out that he is just learning the alpha corner role and NFL teams will want him because he is already an elite slot corner and can be taught the outside corner in the big leagues.
