I get the feeling the Ohio State passing game will be just fine sooner rather than later.

Barrett threw for 2900 and 34 TDs so, uh, no.

OSU obviously hasn't figured out their passing game yet this year. They currently have the 29th worst team passing rating among FBS teams. And that ain't all NIU's doing.

Well a sizable portion of it is because of NIU

Like almost 33%.

If I had to choose between the team I cheer for having either a great offense or a great defense, I would always choose a great defense. So, obviously, I loved the performance of our D this past Saturday.

But, to me, it looked like OSU didn't even bother watching game film on us. Because if they had, they would have seen the deep ball against UNLV and Murray State gave our D fits. And what happened the one time OSU took a deep shot Saturday? Yes, their only offensive touchdown.

Only you could turn this Saturday into a negative lol, unreal

I wouldn't exactly call 23 yards a deep shot. And that took an extraordinary effort by the OSU wr to complete that as he was covered very well.

Lurry broke up a deep ball in the second half, for the record.

I would tend to agree. At times the defense seemed very unmotivated while playing Murray State.

I am mystified by this D. If they are even half as good as Saturday the rest of the year, we are in great shape. Let's see what happens when we get back to playing the spreads.

BC's offense will be nowhere near as potent as OSU especially with no game experience at QB. Stack the box and make an inexperienced QB beat you.

Winning in Boston would be a statement game

I think the easy answer is we play up/down to the competition.
