September 16, 20188 yr Author What an absolutely crazy game! Can’t say enough about the entire experience. AT&T Stadium is just ridiculous. It’s like Acropolis sitting on top of the hill in Athens. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen. As far as the game goes, it was UGLY. Austin Mack dropping 4 huge passes cost Ohio State at least 10 points. The defense played pretty well all things considered. Secondary is still a work in progress, but the D Line is just absurd. Clemson may have the best starting DL, but they don’t have the depth at the position OSU has. Nick Bosa is the best player in college football. I’m really not sure he has an equal. Dwayne Haskins delivers time and time again. Absolute stud. He’s got 1st rounder written all over him. I was clamoring for some QB runs all night because TCU conceded the QB run and dove at the RB every time. But Day has Haskins pull one at the perfect time. Shawn Robinson can flat ball. Dude is a hell of a QB for TCU. Ohio State missed several opportunities to blow the game open. On to the next one. Lots to work on before Penn State. Go Bucks!
September 16, 20188 yr OSU wasn’t at their best but made enough plays. Many things to clean up if they want to contend, but it was a good playoff atmosphere test in September.
September 16, 20188 yr Author TCU fans :up: Just beautiful women everywhere. The stadium was probably 2/3 Buckeye fans, but the TCU fans held their own. Definitely want to catch a game in Ft Worth sometime.
September 16, 20188 yr The OSU defensive line is legit. I was impressed with what I saw of TCU also. That was a great game.
September 16, 20188 yr Now that JT Barrett is no longer the starting qb. I have to accept that OSU is a true title contender. They weren't ever going to win it with him.
September 16, 20188 yr I knew TCU would put up some points. Their offense is just too good. I was a bit surprised at how the Buckeyes struggled offensively the first half, but it picked up in the 2nd half. Hopefully Bosa will be back for the Penn State game in two weeks.

Just didn’t play well. Mack dropping an easy end zone TD pass, 1 of 4 drops on the night, Jordan with low snap, after low snap. Long way to go for this team.

Ironically last night, OSU could have benefited tremendously from some Barrett QB runs. I thought we may have seen Tate come in at some point just to give the defense fits running the ball. Bottom line is the game shouldn’t have been close, but they walked away with a victory against a really good team so it’s hard to complain too much. We don’t walk out of Happy Valley with a win if we get a repeat performance of this game in 2 weeks. Lots to improve upon between now and then.

September 16, 20188 yr Author Dre’mont said it’s fhe fastest college team he’s faced. No doubt about it. Speed at every position on the field for TCU. Although Dremont out ran some dudes on his TD and then said get off me as he scored. Either way it’s a brand of football Ohio State just doesn’t see. Even Oklahoma the past 2 years had speed, but TCU is just a brand of football Ohio State never sees. Nor will probably ever see again.
September 16, 20188 yr Author Last nights game drew a 4.9 overnight rating which is the highest for any game so far this season.

I don't think Penn St is better than TCU...OSU will be fine at Happy Valley if they play close to this.
