Opinion: What Ohio State did wrong against Purdue last night
1. Couldn't score a touchdown in the redzone the whole game. In the first half, Ohio State had 2 field goals, one missed field goal, and one turnover on downs.
2. RBs couldn’t get going at all. Less than 100 yards rushing in the game
3. O-line was horrendous. They wouldn’t block at all....
4. Special teams need some work. Dixon almost let up a safety. The kicking team also let up BIG returns. Missed an FG. Allowed a fake FG to eventually lead to a TD.
5. Too many penalties. Costed Ohio St multiple drives and brought Purdue back to life on their respective drives.
6. Parris Campbell couldn’t get going at all. They only threw bubble screens to him THE WHOLE GAME.
7. Linebackers were bad as usual. Continue to let up BIG running plays. Especially in the 4th quarter.
8. Corners didn’t know what they were doing. Blough had a field day passing.
9. Defense was confused on many Purdue possessions. A leader would be nice for them.
10. Got to the QB only once or twice in the whole game. They have to do a better job at pressuring the QB.
11. Coaching staff wasn’t communicating well. I think Urban Meyer is organizing the play calls. Ryan Day needs to have more of a say.
12. Gave up way too many TDs at the end of the game. Score was still kind of close until the defense fell apart late.
13. Why is it that “Hospital stuff” always showcased when Ohio State plays this type of game? Is it on purpose? Have you ever seen other teams do it?
FINAL THOUGHT: Ohio State was outcoached, outplayed, and definitely NOT ready for this game against Purdue. The QB and WRs are the only people that showed up for Ohio State. The Bye Week should help them get things sorted out. I expect a drubbing versus Nebraska in 2 weeks.
FINAL SCORE: Purdue: 49 Ohio St.: 20

Thursday Night Football: Indianapolis Colts vs. New England Patriots
Thursday Night Football was back in action last night in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The New England Patriots took on the Indianapolis Colts at home in primetime. Here is a breakdown of all the stats and facts from last night...
Recap: For the Patriots, Tom Brady went 34/44 for 341 yards with 3 TD and 2 INT. Both of the interceptions weren't his fault as both of the passes tipped off his recievers fingers and into the hands of an Indianapolis defender. Tom Brady tossed a touchdown to James White, Josh Gordon and Cordarrelle Patterson. With those 3 TD passes, Tom Brady has eclipsed the 500 mark for his career. He even got a rushing TD on the game! Also, Sony Michel picked up the fifth TD for the Patriots on the ground. The ground game had less than 100 yards combined, with Sony Michel providing all of the yards. This is definately an area of improvement in the forseeable future. But, 8 different players caught passes for the Patriots, spreading the wealth nicely. The defense was average and let up 24 points with one sack. For the Colts, Andrew Luck went 38/59 for 365 yards with also 3 TD and 2 INT. Andrew Luck only completed about 60% of his passes which prevented the Colts from finishing some drives. Andrew Luck tossed 2 touchdowns to his favorite TE, Eric Ebron and one touchdown to Erik Swoope. No TDs were scored on the ground. 8 different players also caught passes for the Colts, again spreading the wealth nicely. With a more pass-happy NFL, recievers are becoming more and more important in order to succeed in the NFL. They punted 3 times in the game. Also, Adam Vinateri missed a field goal which might've made the game a little more favorable for the Colts. The defense definately has had some better night as they let up 38 points and got no sacks. A former Ohio State safety, Malik Hooker; in his second yera in the NFL, racked up a defense-leading 12 total tackles on the game.
Final Score: Patriots 38, Indianapolis 24

MLB National League Division Series: Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Game 1
Prediction: Atlanta Braves in 5
Why will they win Game 1: The Braves avoided playing in an elimmination game as they won the NL East division easily about 2 weeks ago. The Dodgers are just coming off a win versus the Colorado Rockies on Monday night to win the NL West. The Braves have been resting their bullpen and lineup for 4 days now and should have the advantage as the Dodgers only had 3 days. To start off the series, the Atlanta Braves travel to Los Angeles for the first 2 games. Then, the Los Angeles Dodgers travel to Atlanta for the next 2 games. If necessary, the tiebreaker game will take place in Los Angeles next Wednesday, October 10th. Mike Foltynewicz will start Game 1 for the Braves and Hyun-Jin-Ryu will start Game 1 for the Dodgers. Look for the Atlanta Braves to jump out to early lead and maintain it throughout the game. Hyun-Jin-Ryu has an ERA of 2.81 in the postseason for the Dodgers in 3 games. The Braves, on the other hand, haven't played in a postseason game since 2013. This is a young Braves squad with not a lot of postseason experience but I don't think that will hold them back of a solid game one victory.
Predicted Game 1 score: Braves 6, Dodgers 3
