Sad the weather robbed us the likelihood of beating their butt on national prime time television.

Sissy's. Interested to see our move. Would love to play UNC or ECU if we aren't in the MAC-C.

As I was saying... https://gozips.com/news/2018/9/18/football-akrons-alvin-davis-named-bednarik-player-of-the-week.aspx

Anyone think NIU is going to knock off FSU this week? Seems like this is the worst FSU team in a very long time.

good point. it was Williams.

Just watched the ISU/OU game this evening. This is gonna be tough. ISU crowd > Northwestern. ISU WRs > Northwestern. Montgomery > Larkin. Back up QB is solid as well. Doesn't seem to be much difference between him and the starter if you ask me. We can't afford a first half like last week if we want a chance. Going to need some help in ST/defense as well. Hopefully we can catch them looking ahead!

Depth chart for Northwestern game is in the game notes. ISU should be released tomorrow or Weds, but should be few, if any changes. https://gozips.com/documents/2018/9/10//3_GameNotes_Northwestern_091518.pdf?id=13159

Just looked at the guide and it shows Akron @ Iowa State at noon on FS Ohio.

Awesome. I might miss it live so it looks like I'll get to see the replay at the very least.

You are spot on. I was trying not to be too specific. I think he definitely settled down in the second half as he only had maybe 1 penalty then. Luckily we were able to win despite that first half. FWIW, I didn't notice any let downs from an actual blocking perspective (meaning he seemed to be able to hold his own). Maybe that is why the coaching staff stuck with him. Has the talent, just needs to put and keep it together from a mental standpoint. I'd bet he does going forward. Learning experience. Also, we definitely had two #9s on the field during the last play. The football Gods were on our side for once. Learning experience.

My thoughts on the game: First half was rough on offense. Offensive line killed us with penalties and making us always be behind the chains as a result. Like Bowden said in his presser, I think it was a result of some acclimating to playing on the biggier stage. Definitely settled down in the second half and played well. Nice job of Gasser to hit his FGs. Not going to hold the last one against him as it was a long one. Our defense is bad as as expected. Agreed Bell played on hell of a game and both Davis'. MLB is a much better fit for Bell, IMO. Alvin should be the national defensive player of the week if there is such a thing! I can't believe he returned the second INT for a TD. First one was sweet too obviously. I can't wait to watch Morris and Williams shred the MAC for years to come. We did have a lot of questions marks at WR going into the year, but as I suspected, there is more talent there. On the injury front, I recall Jean-Baptiste, Featherstone, and Brady getting injured. I think Featherstone was in crutches after the game. I hope none are too serious and they can get back out there quickly. I really hope we can go into conference play relatively healthy. I was pretty baffled at the way our last possession was handled. I also get not wanting to punt the last play. Listening to the presser, it has been something thats been practiced many times, just wasn't set up/executed properly. If I were a betting man, I'd bet the clock operator was a little late starting it and quick to stop it on that play as well. If we really did have two #9s on the field the last play, we lucked out. Definitely some learning experiences that came out this game for players and coaches, just thankful it didn't cost us a big win. Was a pleasure meeting/celebrating with @Captain Kangaroo and his family. The Zips family section (I assume) at the game was an awesome & rowdy bunch. It's nice to see the players have a section for these far away games. Northwestern paid us 1.2M to go up there and kick their a$$. Who would have thought we would be undefeated 3 weeks into the season?! Now time to go read some crying on the Northwestern board and then on to Iowa State!

FYI the replay is available on the Fox Sports App. Watching now.

Sarcasm meter is still broken Balsy.

Paging @Zipmeister for his thoughts.

Should be able to watch on Big Ten Network, Fox Sports Go app, or Big Ten 2 Go app.

Little foggy on the drive out this morning. Go Zips!

Ham, any idea on what sideline the Zips will be on this game? I saw against Duke, NU was on the "away" sideline, opposite of the press box. Seemed a little odd to me.

You gots some updating to do, B&G. DBU of the MAC? https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Christopher-Hill-114954/RecruitInterests/

In regards to the press conference, I was wondering who this Jeremiah Knight was that seemingly popped up on the depth chart out of nowhere. He turned down a scholly from Marshall to be a preferred walk on at OSU. I wonder if he ever made it there since he is apparently eligible this year? Anyways, he seems to have some sick moves but maybe lacks some top end speed. His senior rushing stats are insane. I know this isn't the thread for it but... https://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/ohio-state-recruiting/2016/12/77932/preferred-walk-on-boom-jeremiah-knight-is-a-buckeye-2016-sr-highlights https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/Article/Jeremiah-Boogie-Knight-Gets-To-Live-Out-Dream-Of-Playing-Football-At-Ohio-State-74908430/

I believe you can rewatch games on both services. Unsure how long they are archived for, however.

Kato started what, 5 out of 14games and played in just about every game? They can't be too far off. Regardless, sample sizes are definitely comparable. Its not like Kato played 10 snaps or 1 game or something.

So the only way us Ohio folk will be able to watch the game is to attend it or have login rights/cable subscription that has access to Fox Sports North? Bummer.

We may be facing ISU's back up QB. https://amp.desmoinesregister.com/amp/1244770002
