I was wondering that too. Kind of genius. Gave them 5 yards. Still out of FG range. Took 4 seconds off the clock.

I just assumed it went back to 10. When he slid and they said the game was over I'm like....he's still got at least two seconds left. Had to go back to see they only started that play with 6 seconds on the clock.

At least Rhule isn't the only coach with clock management issues.

 

[Sous Chef]

I didn't realize KSU's Oline was this bad at pass pro

 

[Baron Winnebago]

After the results today/current scores, I'm not sure if we go winless the rest of the way or make the playoff

Hell of a game between Ohio State and Oregon

I noticed the 6 before the snap and was wondering if Lanning did that on purpose. Nobody was trying to get off the field. Wonder if Howard thought it was still 10 too.

I just rewound. There was 10 seconds on clock. Howard threw incomplete pass and there were 6 seconds left. Penalty was called but clock stayed at 6 seconds. Don’t know if click should have been reset or not. Someone smarter than me can hopefully weigh in

I am sure we will see a rule change on that in the offseason. Not that I think Oregon did that on purpose, but teams could run 12 men out and purposefully burn clock in these end of game situations.

Hell of a game, and props to Lanning for getting his team right after looking bad the first couple games.

I come away feeling better about how we match up vs. OSU than I did going into the game.

If we get Hill back, Ceyair keeps playing like he is, and het Buford back to safety like he was last year, we might be able to at least slow them down. It will be a mismatch but not as bad as we first imagined.

Howard is a good, but not great QB. Not much of an upgrade over McCord. More athletic and flashy but doesn’t manage the game as well. IMO, you put some middle of the road B1G QB like Luke Altmyer on the OSU roster and he has just as good of numbers. Altmyer is probably better actually.

If we can ugly it up, get a little pass rush, and turn them over once or twice, it might be a closer game than we thought.

Going into the game, OSU was 4th nationally in pass defense but they were exposed. That’s what happens when you play Akron, WMU, Marshall, MSU, and Cockeye to start the year. Raiola will easily be the 2nd best QB they have faced this year.

Game plan:
1. Shorten the game. Bleed clock.
2. Run early and often. Set up play action.
3. Play action yolo bombs. Might connect on 1-2 if lucky.
4. Back shoulder throws to draw them into PI calls. Frustrate them. Make their buttholes pucker.
5. Anything in opponent territory between the 10-40 yard line is 4-down territory.
6. Blitz from anywhere and everywhere. They can sink and dunk us all day if we play it safe, and they’ll still get loose a few times. Bring Hill on a CB blitz. Walk Gifford up. Let James Williams feast. We’ll give some stuff up but Will Howard showed tonight he can’t deal with pressure and is a little bitch. Make his life hell.

Prediction: 27-24, Huskers.

KSU is using Husker blueprint for the Puffs. Run it down their throat and attack Shadildo!

 

[Mavsker]

It's a pre-snap penalty - it seems dumb that the clock wouldn't reset

The LSU v Ole Miss game was a dandy, too. OT one-play win for the Tigers.

kSU qb going out with non contact injury.

Think we need an @alt f4 ruling on this one. Don't they have until the snap to get off the field?

Sunshine went to get a Pap smear

Did he get hit earlier? It didn't look like that throw was awkward or anything.

Not that I’ve seen. Looked like an oblique injury like Ewers

 

[Jim14510]

Also we didn't get a very good angle on the OPI. He definitely pushed off but the ball would have had to be in the air for that to be OPI correct? It might have been. I didn't see one way or the other.

I didn’t catch it either

Puff fans are some dumb! Thought they had a goaline stand!!
