Purdue Open Thread

If you have been known on occasion to enjoy the game of college football, you have one dandy of a day ahead of you. At 3:30, we’ll be treated to our third straight game with LeBron in Cleats and Beanie Wells operating out of the same backfield full-time. I think we’re starting to realize just how special this tandem is and it may be worth taking a step back and appreciating it because there’s a very real chance that we may only have six more of these Saturdays in store.

The Buckeyes will be trying to move Curtis Painter’s career mark against ranked teams to a nice, round 0-10 and they should do so. It would be pretty fresh to get one of those games where you come away appreciating a good butt-kicking — like the Purdue and Penn State games last season.

You can get the coverage map for the game here. Unless you’re overseas, you will get the game, though you may have to tune in to ESPN instead of ABC depending on where exactly you live in the lower 48.

Unlike typical mid-day Buckeye kickoffs, there’s actually a pretty damn good game going off beforehand when two top five teams meet in the Red River Shooutout. Top-ranked Oklahoma and #4 Texas have both played as well as anyone, really, and considering what happened in the previous two games this season with national title implications (OSU/USC and Alabama/Georgia), I’m just praying for a game that’s actually close into the third quarter for once.

If you’re not lucky enough to attend the Ohio State game, you can catch #20 Michigan State taking on #23 Northwestern on the Deuce. Things are going so well in Evanston with the 5-0 start that Northwestern fans are now referring to Iowa as the perfect warm-up for Sparty (how fast thee hath fallen, Mr. Ferentz).

You better be deft with the remote at night because there are three great games (varying in their degrees of greatness, of course) kicking off at the same time:

#6 Penn State @ Wisconsin, 8PM - ESPN
After two excruciating defeats, will the Badgers be able to regroup and knock off unbeaten Penn State? I doubt it, but winning in Madison is not easy (and those in the know seem to think it will be a battle). I’ll be rooting for the Nittany Lions at any rate because we need them perfect when they take on the Buckeyes in two weeks.

#5 LSU @ #12 Florida, 8PM - CBS
Les against Urban. Ricky Jean Francois wanting to put Tebow out of the game being misquoted about wanting to put Tebow out of the game. Two loaded teams, a great environment and coaching firepower has the makings of another instant classic between the two SEC schools.

#16 Oklahoma State @ #3 Missouri, 8PM - ESPN2
You’ve heard it a million times lately, but Chase Daniel has yet to suffer his first three-and-out on offensive series. That’s pretty sick. Oklahoma State is also unbeaten, so this won’t be a walk, but it may take an Oklahoma or Texas to knock off this Tiger team — and you’d still have to like Daniel’s chances in those games.

  2. Michigan in trouble early against Toledo, the Gophers up on Illinois. All is well with the world right now.

    Frank the Blank - 10/11/08 @ 12:55 pm - #

  3. That is actually the exact opposite of what the Buckeyes need. We need the teams on the rest of the schedule to win. Time for scUM and the Illini to get their shit together.

    Tyler - 10/11/08 @ 2:15 pm - #

  4. Jason

    I agree Tyler, though it isn’t looking great for either of them. Juice is an amazing talent, but he held the ball too long on that fumble for six.

    Jason - 10/11/08 @ 2:54 pm - #

  5. Michigan looking down and out for the count after a pick with 3:44 to go!

    flipbuckeye - 10/11/08 @ 3:02 pm - #

    Yeah, same with the Illini. Typical Juice — so awesome, yet so self-destructive.

    I imagine we’ve heard the last of the Tim Brewster jokes. He’s done a heckuva job pulling that team together.

    Whoa….Bobby Stoops and the boys are suddenly in big trouble.

    GoBucks89 - 10/11/08 @ 3:19 pm - #

    I agree. That win a few weeks back is looking better and better.

    Texas is really showing me something. I thought it would be a game, but I also thought the Sooners would put them away late.

  13. GoBucks89

    Good for UT. I’m not too surprised that they were able to beat scUM. They took Fresno State to double overtime. Richie’s boys beat Wisconsin only because of an epic Badger collapse. They looked horrible in the first half of that game and they didn’t look a whole lot better last week.

    GoBucks89 - 10/11/08 @ 3:24 pm - #

  14. The Wolvereenies should really be 1-5. Nice work, DickRod.

    Ben Hogan - 10/11/08 @ 3:27 pm - #

  15. The local media already says Bobby Stoops can’t win the big game. Will the national media finally see it. What is his record in bowl game since 2003, 0-5? He always loses a game he should win, and now he is losing a game to Tejas.

    I love it!!!

    I feel you Robb, but I always thought it was Mack Brown that couldn’t get it done in that series (save for the VY years).

    Robb - 10/11/08 @ 4:12 pm - #

  54. Yeah, he does. But like you said, as he gets comfortable, that will go away.

    Defense has played well to start. Gibson is eating dudes up.

    Robb,

    It is sort of expected. But damn, do you see the arm strength on Pryor? He floats a lot of passes, but when he wants to launch it, look out.

    Stupid thing #1: Mo Wells off-tackle twice.

    Stupid thing #2: Anybody who thinks the right call is to go for it.

    Stupid thing #3: Missing the FG.

    This is BULLSHIT

    el caballo de sangre - 10/11/08 @ 4:21 pm - #

  72. MSP

    They always talk about not asking Pryor not to do too much, but the coaches continually put him in shitty situations. Running Mo up the middle on consecutive plays to set up 3rd and long. Obviously they could see that coming. Pryor’s skill set would really do well in 3rd and short, but why bother trying to do that.

    MSP - 10/11/08 @ 4:21 pm - #

  73. Poe McKnoe

    Flash should enter the backfield…and receive out of it.

    Poe McKnoe - 10/11/08 @ 4:22 pm - #

    seriously, how can someone miss so many short(ish) fg’s?

    OhFoSho - 10/11/08 @ 4:26 pm - #

  78. Jason

    If the choice is Pretorius missing another field goal or Pryor trying to make something happen, I’m inclined to go with Pryor right about now.

  115. Jason

    I’ve been a fan of Browning’s work so far this season. I’m not sure why the staff is so high on either Rehring or Person, really. They should just throw five guys out there that don’t include those two and watch the team take off.

    Jason - 10/11/08 @ 4:49 pm - #

  116. How can an offensive line with three seniors be so incredibly bad? These guys on the lines have been what has separated us from straight two national titles, and I see no improvements on either side. And of course, it was Steve “Coronary Thrombosis” Rehring.

    poguemahone - 10/11/08 @ 4:50 pm - #

  117. Poe McKnoe

    Rehring normally plays inside? No?

    Hey JT, Lane Kiffin called. He said he is not currently employed. Hint, hint.

    Poe McKnoe - 10/11/08 @ 4:51 pm - #

  118. Rehring should just stay in the bathroom.

    C - 10/11/08 @ 4:52 pm - #

  119. Rehring was recruited at OT but has played guard (badly) his entire time here. No clue why Browning wasn’t out there, he’s been lights out since the early season struggles.

  142. Ok folks, let’s see if there are ANY ADJUSTMENTS in the second half. Hopefully, they realize that Purdue’s DL is better than our O-line (Beanie cannot even get a step), and you have to roll TP out on 35 straight plays … let him pass or run and guess what, he’ll score at least two TDs and we win easily

    Unfortunately I can’t see the game due to being in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but by the comments things don’t seem to be going so well. What I don’t understand is how a team with so many two and three year starters perform so inconsistantly. Or perfrom so badly at times you wonder how they were offered scholarships. I just don’t get it. Anyway, GO BUCKS!

  151. Leroy: it’s coaching. These kids have more contact with their coordinators and the position coaches than the head coach, so we know who needs to be gotten rid of. It’s 13-0 and the only TD was off a blocked kick. Offense has had gift field position and done nothing with it. That’s why there is so much spleen in this thread: this is the worst rushing defense in the Big Ten and we’re struggling against it.

    Fellas, I’m actually not all that freaked out now - I’m in Al Davis mode, offensive TD or not. Defense and special teams are keeping us safe today through all of LiC’s freshman moments and the stupid playcalls.

    Does this game suck? Sure. But some of them are going to, and every game we don’t lose gives us another chance to put some shit together. You can’t extrapolate any of this stuff down the road.

    maybe mediocre based on what we’re used to, sure. but all in all, we are a good football team. we might drop one more down the road (either psu or msu, but not both). offensive TD or not, all that matters at the end of the season are the wins.
