2021 NCAA Football Thread

[RandyMarsh]

OSU isn't a good matchup for anybody but they are especially bad for an MSU team that has a terrible pass defense and aren't good at generating pressure. Stroud with a clean pocket with those WRs is and is going to continue to have a field day.

21-0 still in the 1st 

Big 1, little 13

[Tigerbomb13]

This is a nightmare game for MSU. I’m afraid to see what happens to Michigan next week. 

[gehringer_2]

21-0.

As Sir Paul put it. "I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me a win over OSU"

Well, close anyway.

21-0 now on another long TD reception, this time to Olave. Stroud has had plenty of time to throw and his receivers are getting open but still he is putting the ball right where it needs to be, super impressed with him and am wishing so bad that he was available in the 2022 draft.  

[Tigerbomb13]

Stroud with 14-15 and 222 passing yards in the 1st quarter. Thorne is 4-13. 

[gehringer_2]

28-0. OSU putting up *2* pts/minute.

The Tucker effect 

[MichiganCardinal]

Ohio State trying to put up a point for every million Tucker got paid.

[Tigerbomb13]

OSU might drop 80 in this one. 

[RandyMarsh]

35-0 now, somebody throw in the damn towel. I can't say enough good things about how Stroud has looked, Jesus he is making every single throw and placing the ball perfectly.  He's just making it look too easy.

Anyone who thinks Harbaugh can beat this Ohio State team needs to check their mental health. If they put up 35 on MSU at this point in the game they'd put up at least 50 on Harbaugh.

MSU isn’t holding enough?

I have illusions about defeating OSU, but Michigan's D does match up better against them. Like Buddha said from the beginning of the season, neither UM or MSU are actually very good teams. With a  little scheduling luck you really don't need to do much to get to 8-1 in the B10,

This is the 4th time in 11 games that OSU has scored TDs on their first 5 drives of a game. That's crazy!

I won't disagree with the first point, this Ohio State team likely wins the National Championship. I will say that Michigan likely matches up better than MSU with Ohio State generally though, given Michigan's ability to generate pressure on the QB.

So it'd be like 28-0 instead of 35. 😉

[RandyMarsh]

Penn State played OSU tough and Nebraska was within a TD in the 4th quarter, so even though they look super impressive in this game it's not like they have manhandled everybody. If Ojabo and Aiden can get pressure and force Stroud out of his comfort zone Michigan could potentially slow them down somewhat.

LOL! 28 or 35, I just want a big enough blow out that it gets Harbaugh out of here.

[Tigerbomb13]

OSU has two receivers with over 100 receiving yards, 20 minutes into the game. 

[buddha]

michigan state is a fraud.  they have the worst pass defense in the COUNTRY.  not just the big ten.  theyve survived on luck so far.  they should have lost to michigan.

there no way an ohio state team taking them seriously was going to lose to them

and yes, this is a preview for next week but michigan is better than michigan state and is at home so it might be a little closer, but it will still be a blowout.

he's not going anywhere so you might as well just suck it up and root for your favorite team to win.

i know how hard that will be for you.

yeah - 20-20 hindsight is easy but if Harbaugh leaves McCarthy in his seat and lets Cade throw a little more it would probably have been the margin.

If MSU doesn't put up some more of a fight before this one is over, next week might turn into a trap game for OSU though.....

Up to 42. Ohio State may be looking to put backups in for the second half.

[Motor City Sonics]

Good timing on that extension Mel.   Well played.
