It's on one of those ESPN plus channels hmm? Sucks it couldn't be on the Big Ten Network. I'll find someway to watch the game somehow.

31-0, 3rd quarter.

Defense looks amazing. 

Offense showing signs of being very explosive.  Pryor still have a lot of learning to do.  He really has problems when he's rushed.  I really needs to work on his decision making.  Whether to throw, run, throw it away or take the sack.  He really is struggling with that and is forcing a lot of bad throws that are getting picked off. 

The other issue within the RedZone is the lack of a big back.  We don't have a RB that can get a tough 2 or 3 yards.   Which is why Pryor has to become more of a running threat.

Wow if I was a Toledo fan I would be PISSED OFF! That was a bonafide touchdown until the ball got stripped, man talk about bad luck!

I do agree that Pryor is still a bit indecisive. Considering on the 2nd quarter I believe that we had to settle for a field goal that Aaron Pettrey couldn't get. I understand Pryor being selfless and wanting to prove his worth as a passer but the wiser decision for him to just take it to the endzone. He had enough ground to run in for a touchdown so he definitely needs to improve on decision making, other than that, Ohio State is running both sides of the field very smoothly.

Maybe I gave Toledo too much credit when I stated that I couldn't see Ohio State being 20 points above Toledo but the Bucks are now 31-0.

Toledo has a pretty solid offense.  Our defense was just that much better. 

It's not surprising our offense put up a lot of yards and points.  Toledo's defense is terrible.  Not really a good marker of where the offense in this game.  Pryor is making mistakes and needs to make quicker and better decisions, IMO.

Not from my angle..he didn't cross the big white line into the end zone when it was striped. That was right in front of us.(and I have the sunburn to prove I was there!!!!)  LOL

Bucks looked a little better but kept a eye on TP.  He looks so unbalanced when he throws.  All the radio recaps on the way home were talking about how he needs a lot of work on foot placement and when to step back out of he pocket or move.

really needs to work on his decision making.  Whether to throw, run, throw it away or take the sack.  He really is struggling with that and is forcing a lot of bad throws that are getting picked off. ...Nate

 He also needs to decide quicker if he is going to run or throw.  None of this "maybe I am going to run, oh wait, I better throw" which leaves the O line waiting, trying to figure out what he is going to do.  I wish I could have taped the recap for listening because there were a lot of good, constructive points brought up.

Good to see some new players getting a chance to show their stuff.  D looked good today, stopping UT from crossing the 50 yard line for three quarters.


We don't have a RB that can get a tough 2 or 3 yards
YES!!! What is up with that???
 Offense need more work.

Up and on to Illinois next week!

[Nate]

Our lack of a running game is going to really hurt us down the road.  Most likely against Penn State, Iowa and Michigan.

I am not looking forward to the PSU game.....

[ScarletBlooded]

The Bucks have a lot of time to improve until the PSU game so we can only hope we'll go all the way through the mid-point of the season.
