#9 Ohio State (4-0, 6-1) at Nebraska (2-2, 3-4) Post Game

I don't think there's been a buckeye punt vs Nebraska in five years

[Entropy]

I didn't watch the game due to conflicts, but ex players on twitter were suggesting UNL was attacked in similar fashions to last week vs Wisky.

All I know is Purdue was within 10 of Wisky.. and Iowa has only had 50 pts hung on them once during KF tenure.   UNL is poorly coached and the players have given up.  So have I... I guess.

Nebraska deserves better than this. The sport is just better when they are good. Just as a fan of the sport- it would've been so much better to see a competitive back and forth game between two helmet/blue-bloods. Nobody wants to see Nebraska get blown off their own field.

I still think Nebraska has got to go and get Chip Kelly. Riley was never the man for the job to begin with in the first place. That hire always baffled me. Chip is sitting out there at home. If I'm Nebraska I dump Riley now and hire Chip. Why wait?  He's not coaching another team- he could take over the job immediately and start recruiting and they could let someone be the interim coach for the remaining 5-6 games.

well, the Sharkwater tailgate was a success as usual

a few Buckeye fans shuffled through, good people

Rabid Rattlesnake Boy was there, Old Scribe and his wife B.G. were there.  Was good talking about old times on the boards

the ex players that tailgate there every week have given up on Coach Riley, even before the blowout

I did not even inquire about ticket prices - stayed at the tailgate and watched the first half on TV.  Packed up and went back to the hotel before the 4th quarter started.  Sad state of affairs.............

Was it not just a couple weeks ago when many were down on the Buckeyes as having a one dimensional offense?  Not that good...blah blah blah.

temp.. they played Nebraska.   It was basically a scrimmage, and maybe not even that..

I get that Nebraska isn't all that right now under Riley- but I still kinda agree with temp. I was never that down on Ohio State. Meyer always has a history of clunker games here and there, but his teams always get better throughout the year. 
Ohio State has a lot of speed on offense. Paris Campbell can fly and Mike Weber and JK Dobbins is the best 1-2 RB punch in the conference by a long shot.

after the Sooner game they needed a new QB, cause Barrett couldn't throw...

PASSING
OSU: Barrett 27-33-0-325

5 TD passes

[TresselownsUM]

LOL,

Barrett played a great game. but I think a lot of the turnaround has to do with 1) Poor competition, 2) I think the WRs have finally started to turn into something. lets not forget Oklahoma's defense has been shredded by just about everyone, except for Ohio St.

It'll be more interesting to see how it goes when a D line can put some pressure on JT, ala penn st, Mich St and Michigan.

But, there's no denying JT is looking great, throwing a good ball, making good decisions, running for purpose not because he's scared or confused. He dare I say it, looks like the freshman JT that finished 5th in the Heisman.

of course any QB is helped by having 2 RB's that are playing very well too.

Alittle late, but still........I completed my B10 Stadium visit with this game!  I watched Ohio State WIN in every B10 Stadium (as of 2017 season LOL), even though the goal was just to visit each stadium, the winning was an added bonus.  While the drive to Nebraska was long and not very exciting, the trip was well worth it.  I will say that the Nebraska fan base has to be one the best group of fans in CFB.  They have a huge football tradition, and love the Huskers.  They were hospitable and great to talk with, not just about football but their home state.  The Capitol Building was amazing to visit.  The stadium was bigger than I thought, old school in nature and even though the game was over by the half, a lot of folks stayed the whole time.  Student section emptied out fast, but no surprise on that one.  The local atmosphere was very enjoyable and loved the LaVosh.  Several great brews were sampled and a few found their way back East.  A great time!

[FearlessF]

you missed the Sharkwater Tailgate!


<br /><br />

[Roaddawg]

Yes, yes I did, however, we were invited to tailgate by some very fine folks we met while enjoying a few of the 132 taps at the Hop Cat.  We were behind the Journal Star building, near the overpass.  It was a good time and the folks were all very friendly.
