LOL at the Powertards trying to give Props to the Defense . . .

[sonofdaxjones]

OSU without one of their top offensive weapons still gained 511 yards.

It was clear that when the OSU staff saw that they were going to have trouble holding on to the ball and were a little out of sync that they needed to just play field position  ball because Bill "Woody Hayes" Snyder and his merry band of DIII rejects weren't going to be capable of doing anything.   

[WillieWatanabe]

do they just disregard the yardage we gave up??

[Pendergast]

Yeah, they still suck, but 17 points?  You know you're surprised.

[Pete]

It was also a very smart game plan by the 42 year old.  Why bother trying to "light it up" when the team you are playing is hapless on both sides of the ball.....just run it and play field position.  Isn't that what they were applauding Snyder for at the beginning of the year?

Exactly . . . this was purely a "get out of town with a win" game for OSU and they still rolled up 511 yards of total offense.

Defense did what they needed to win the game is a legit point. Doesn't make the defense great, but its still true.

Okay . . . so OSU minus one of their top offensive studs and only scoring 24 and only gaining 511 yards is the new "defense doing what they needed to do" at K-State.    Waters calmed!!

True to a point. OSU could have gone down field at any time they wanted, or at least run much deeper routes since we were dead set on not bringing any pressure at all.

Bullsh*t Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), despite the 511 yards our d played well.  Pretty sure this is by far the least points OSU scored all season.

Find a better thing to categorize as  :powerespect:  Our f*cking offense went 3 and out or 6 and out about 10 times, the D was on the field way more than they needed to be (I know we had TOP in our favor, but OSU was on the field a lot because of OOB and Incompletions, LOOK AT TOTAL PLAYS I'd guess OSU had over 75).  Anything resembling offensive consistency and the defense holds OSU to closer to 400 yards.

I like when tysyn whips the ball carrier forward for another 3 - 4 yds on every tackle

Wrong.  We tried to bring pressure frequently.

I said nothing about the defense being fixed, but the 17 points allowed was fine if we had any sort of offense today. The defense is still bad, but their play did not lose this game, though we did have two badly missed ints in the 2nd half.

Even better is when he gets dragged for 12 yards.

Maybe our defense was on the field a lot because they gave up 511 yards and a number of third and longs

First off Dick where did I say the offense performed well??   Next . . . and for the last time, OSU did what they had to do to win . . . they didn't crank up their fast break offense like they can, not even close.   Yet they still rolled up 511 yards.

GMAFB, "they kept their fast break offense in the bag because they knew they'd win"  that is the dumbest f8cking thing I've heard all day.  Why didn't they do that against Washington STate, Tulsa, LaLa???

I agree with you most of the time, but this is just a feeble effort to use the  :powerespect:

[ChiComCat]

Our defense was extremely fortunate with some fumbles and some penalties killing OSU drives.  If you are satisfied crossing your fingers for that crap every game, then yes the defense was good.

The defense did not generate a pass rush, and faced an offensive game plan that was executed to near perfection....jam it down our rough ridin' throats with little risk. Bingo, accomplished.  500+ yards of offense despite not having perhaps the best offensive player in the conference.

Hang a rough ridin' banner.  Jesus, just because it wasn't as horrible as usual doesn't make it acceptable.  We had NO pass rush...and there is little or no help on the way next year up front.

Wrong.  We tried to bring pressure frequently.

0 sacks, 0 ints (should have been at least 1 the time OSU's receiver ran the wrong route), We didn't bring any effective pressure at all. We played the same pussy defense of hoping they dropped it on 3rd and 7 while we were dropping 7. Wheedon had his first true rush today. He had 8 carries coming into the game that were all sacks, his carry today went for 8 yards. Forgive me if my assessment of this game is that we didn't do crap to pressure the quarterback.

Love it.  The goEMAW dorks are out in full force today.  It's a real laughingstock.

[kso_FAN]

Saying the defense did enough to win DOES NOT equal the defense is good, great, fixed, etc.  It simply means we did what THIS defense has to do (we know its a bad scheme, has bad players, etc.) to win a game; it kept OSU from a large number of big plays (less than 4 over 30 yards) and by doing this OSU's offense wasn't able to get into complete rhythm and made some mistakes.  The exact same thing we did vs UCLA, ISU, and CFU.  Look, I'd love us to hold opponents to less than 300 yards and give our offense great field position a ton, but that isn't going to happen this year.  We held a good opponent without their best player to 17 points and that is enough to win, even with missing two INTs in the 2nd half. 

What wasn't enough to win was an embarrassing performance by the offense.  Once again (like the CFU game) our offensive line (who is supposed to be a strength) got whipped by an average defensive front.  Again and again. Then when we have opportunities to make plays, a SR QB misses two wide open WRs on our opening drive of the 2nd half, and then a SR WR lets a throw (granted not a great throw) go through his hands for a pick.  And this after spending most of the first half pissing down our legs and missing opportunity after opportunity. 

All I'm saying is take out your frustration where it deserves to be taken out; IMHO that's on an offense that DID NOT live up to the potential of the personnel and abilities of their unit.  The defense did that today and I give them credit, but I don't disagree that they are still a bad defensive unit.
