WHAT A THROW PJ Shi Smith almost fuged that up bad

OH NOW THEY WANT TO CALL HOLDING!?!?!?

Manageable 3rd down situation... come on offense!!!!!

Oh wow. Did the zebras actually make the right call instead of fuging Carolina?

Ugh... need points but also need to leave as little clock for ATL as possible... Wish that I had more faith in McAdoo to be able to do both. It's either or neither for him

Ewww. Defense needs to keep them to a FG to give the team a chance at a dub. Can't keep giving up chunk plays.

Derrick Brown bulldozed that linemen all the way into the runner's path. Yeeeeesh

Gio with the hit on ST

FOREMAN SMASH

"They can't fug with me" LOOOOOOOOOOOL TALK TO EM

D'onta Foreman is a sledgehammer, oh my damn

damn they got as many yards on the fumble as they did the actual run lmao

I have no idea what's going on anymore.

Ayy, get them yards

Panthers get the ball to start the second half. Likely trying to avoid that same situation from happening again.

Trying to figure out which there's more of: commercials in this game or pop-ups on this site

OH NO

Pay Derrick Brown pls

Alright defense, your turn!! Go get a turnover that puts the offense in scoring position before the end of the half so we can run the score up to start the second

Seeing how well Foreman is running makes me even more mad at Rhule

I say that the run game carried him for a couple of reasons. Out of the three 3rd down conversions that the offense was able to muster, two of those came on run plays in the 1st half. The 1st half was also where 55 of the team's 66 rushing yards were earned during a time when CJ was 10/17 with just over 100yds passing (with 1/4 of that coming on one play). By the time CJ threw his first TD, it was already 26-10 in the second half coming off of that INT that put them on the Iowa 15yd line. To me, the defense for Ohio State did a lot of heavy lifting while the run game did it's job. By the time CJ got it figured it out, they were already two scores up. Placement on that 79yd throw was nice for sure. Not as nice as that 2nd TD toss though... lawd almighty that pass was too pretty for words. Stroud might be going through his progressions but I can't tell without knowing the offense better. There are several plays where it looks like he's gone through his first two, maybe even three reads, and then just kind of waits for things to happen. I can't tell if that's by nature of the offense or the QB, but I'm leaning towards the offense itself since it's been a reoccurring criticism for OSU QBs. That part about putting the team on his back was what has really troubled me. He just doesn't seem to do it. The WRs are amazing, the OL is solid, and the defense is no joke either so it's not like he needs to, but I'd like to see him take control of the game. I'm hoping to see him take more control during the Penn State game today. A lot of the issues I had from Iowa I went back and saw during Notre Dame as well. Fortunately, we've got enough time for these guys to get some more film on them so that the professional scouts can better vet them.

Did not handle pressure well Questionable velocity on throws Does not seem to go through progressions (could be an OSU issue as the play designs often seem to be 1 - 2 reads and then scramble around until somebody gets open) First two throws of the games are nearly picks (first play he had two open receivers underneath, second was an overthrow). His third passing attempt? Got strip-6'd. Questionable accuracy (especially in the Iowa game) The team's success vs. Iowa also had everything to do with the defense. Here were the results of Iowa's drives in just the 1st quarter: 1st drive: INT on first play of the game 2nd drive: 3 & out 3rd drive: Strip-sack 4th drive: 3 & out, stopped fake punt for turnover on downs That doesn't include the pick-6 in the 2nd quarter, pick in the 3rd quarter that set the OSU offense up inside the Iowa 15, and two 4th down stops in the 2nd half. I will say though, CJ's 2nd TD throw was GORGEOUS. Absolutely beautiful throw. Was needed too, especially since his WRs and running game had been carrying him the entire game. His 3rd TD was the result of a bad play by the DB, which also gave him 79 of his 286yds on the day. My current list is incomplete (still got a few games to watch, plus today's games!), but if I had to put out a top 3 today it would be: 1. Will Levis (Kentucky) 2. Bryce Young (Alabama) 3. Max Duggan (TCU) I am almost as high on Max Duggan this season as I was on Tyler Linderbaum the previous two seasons. Anybody that remembers can probably tell you that the Linderbaum love from me was bordering on unhealthy. Still need to watch UCLA vs. Washington, Utah, and Oregon (Dorian Thompson-Robinson) and Coastal Carolina vs. Marshall, App State, and James Madison (Grayson McCall).

After watching vs Iowa & ND, Stroud is no longer in my top 3 QBs. Will have to see significant improvement against Penn State today and Michigan at the end of the year in order for that to change.

Tyler Linderbaum playing like a man possessed

If Levis, Stroud, or Young are there in the 1st, you take them. Otherwise, wait until rounds three through five to pick up Hooker, Duggan, DRT, or McCall.
