PrintIowa Hawkeyes at Ohio St. Buckeyes, Nov 14, 2009 3:30 PM EST
With a win today, Ohio State will be making the first trip to Pasadena since the year Independence Day (a classic, classic movie, and I will listen to no one who says otherwise) was released. Unless Ohio State's offense is really as good as it looked against Penn State, I anticipate nothing less than a dogfight to the very end. Let's just hope that Pryor makes it a third straight turnover-free game and the Buckeyes get out with a W, and no injures. It's almost Michigan Week, but there is an important task immediately at hand: beating the best team we've seen since week two.

Wisky up 28-17
Still a lot of time, but looks like the Buckeyes might be playing next week tokeep Michigan from getting bowl eligible.
Well, it's over now.
Ohio State will indeed be playing to prevent the Wolverines from going to the Pizza Bowl.

Unfortunately, Iowa is not as forgiving as Penn State is on special teams
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Yeah, I didn't mean to knock Small's return
Just wanted to point out that Iowa probably won’t gift us short-field TDs as a result of poor special teams play, as Penn State did
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Cordle, btw, is the offensive captain today
Did he get that nod before?
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Aaand he just got tooled on
Basically used to seeing that by now. Punt time!
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
I don't think I've heard that before...
That Pryor doesn’t look like he’s running fast. Well maybe once or twice.
I was getting tired of that by about the third or fourth game
Bad, bad punt by Thoma
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Pryor is ridiculous
it always looks like he is going to get caught and he never does.

If Iowa doesn't get a drive going here, it's looking like a cripple fight
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Vandenberg is playing very, very well
Iowa is keeping it simple for him, but he’s playing well above expectations.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
It is the line
he is just dmping it off but the O line for Iowa is blocking very well. We need to get some push.

You know, I haven't been sold on this secondary - outside of KC - this year
If the defensive line doesn’t play lights out, I think they’re vulnerable.

Play calling = snore

Yup yup
Happy Valley brings out the best in this coaching staff. The Shoe might bring out the worst.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Iowa makes the turnovers, they do it a lot and they are very much of the poor offensive dynamo perhaps they must be of making more first downs because field goals they will not defeat this team even if pryor is playing very much poorly
It looked like it was about to be one of those plays in Madden 10
when your running back is stuffed and just powers out of it.

Pryor is 6/8
I don’t think he has been 6/8 at any point this year. Maybe Toledo?
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Well if Ohio wins this game
people can’t complain that it was only cause Iowa’s QB was out…they;ll have to complain about their receivers terrible hands.
Please help send my girlfriend to Broadway! Visit http://magonbroadway.blogspot.com/
I don't like Iowa trying to convert third downs
Why can’t they be like Penn State, with the QB draws and the weak tosses?
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Herron ran right into the Iowa DT
There was a bit of a hole to the left that probably would have left no question as to whether or not he got the first down.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
lol Ferentz
Might have a point, though. I think he grabbed his jersey, not his collar.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Looking at the foul again (because I'm weird like that)
I think Clayborn tried to grab his collar but his hand slipped down to his jersey. Probably not the ref’s place to judge intent, but I can see why the foul was called.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Dude. I was not expecting Pryor to look vaguely good at all today.
Iowa’s pass efficiency defense is either tops in the nation or close.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
He was indeed down
I understand the crowd being suspicious, but Millen’s right: good call
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Sigh
Once again, we’d rather not try to actually score before the half.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Let's hope this "please don't score more than 10, Iowa" strategy works in the second half
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
This is why scoring points is good
If it’s 17-3 right now, this is a bit of a concern, not completely earth-shattering
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
If I'm an Iowa fan, I want Stross benched until he's in a retirement home
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
For the record, a competent team is beating us right now. By at least a touchdown.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
I'm having the same feeling I had against
- Penn State last year
- Texas last year
- USC this year
Anyone else?
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Our blitzes have been rather straightforward today
This has worked so far this year, but it’s not even coming close right now.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Sigh.
So let’s actually try to get a drive going on our next position.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Yeah it should be 27 to 10
Please help send my girlfriend to Broadway! Visit http://magonbroadway.blogspot.com/
or 24-10 rather

Uh, Iowa or us leading?
I’ m not sure either team is capable of blowing the other out to that degree.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
They should be leading
they have two dropped TD passes

Well, I think the second one would have been short
But now I do see where you’re coming from.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
So is running Pryor at all not an option?
Is he really that banged up?
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Just wondering, I haven’t watched you guys all that much this season, how often do you guys run the Wildcat?
We didn't run it until last week.
I’m as dumbfounded as you are, but considering the only play we run out of it is off-tackle right, I can see why Tressel thinks it has limited applications.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Well, we aren't using Pryor in the Wildcat
Unless he’s lined up as receiver, but I haven’t seen that yet
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Not often. This is maybe the second game we’ve ran it.

Yeah. I guess he was filmed for a lot more scenes but they cut them all out bc people laughed too much. That’s atleast what I read on edsbs.com. Probably not the most credible source.

BULL SHIT
That was NOT a block in the back
Please help send my girlfriend to Broadway! Visit http://magonbroadway.blogspot.com/

but it still makes me mad because he it was such a good job. He took 2 guys out of the play.

Just don't turn it over
This is where I won’t mind Tresseball so much.
www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com
Time to blast it up the middle for a nice 5 minute TD drive
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
this guy isn't a real kicker yet
I knew he wouldn’t make that.
He might be ok with a whole off season of work.

Well here we go.
Big 10 Champs with one or two more stops.

Starting to look familiar…sadly. Do we really have to run the same play repeatedly??? I’m all for running clock off but at least do it with variety. ISO only works so many times in a row.

I'm on espn360 so I have a couple minute delay
but seriously, what in the hell with that pass to Moacke?
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
Holy shit... OK, OK, OK
tie game with it all on the line. 2 minute drill. Pryor can become a legend right now.
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
Is Thoma drunk? What the heck is his problem?

Iowa has played a damn good game today
They’ve looked way better than they did the last few weeks.
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
Holy crap, Iowa.
You had us beat. We were on the ropes. You had the most glorious victory in the last, I dunno, 30 years within your grasp. And you, to quote Denny Green, you let us off the goddamn hook.

Alright everyone, great thread
