Very good and normal things happening for OSU during a blowout of a MAC team.

17 minutes after this tweet, Pope tweeted what everyone else is pretty much always thinking: “f*** ohio state”.

He then deleted the tweet and wished his teammates good luck instead.

The targeting rule may get changed in the offseason. I personally don't think they should completely do away with ejections but instead have multiple levels of seriousness with the most egregious penalty resulting in ejection, similar to flagrant fouls in basketball.

agreed! It needs looked.  They are going to have to trust someone to use good judgement but it shouldn't be an all or none situation.

The Dude abides. 

And I have yet seen a targeting called on a offensive player.  I'm not saying it hasn't occurred, it's just I have not witnessed it.  I think subjectively you can call targeting on almost every single play on both sides of the ball.  It's a lot like holding.

Iowa is just beating the piss out of Maryland tonight. They’ve had a few bounces go their way (Maryland’s best player ripping everything in his knee and fumbling inside Maryland’s 10 comes to mind) but they’ve dominated every facet against a really talented Maryland team. Looking like the best bet for a B1G CFP team by far.

I’m just hoping that this is an indication that we can totally beat Maryland on the road.

The key to beating Maryland on the road is simply getting a really hyped up Friday night game on FS1. They really love getting curbed stomped under the lights.

Hoped PSU watched tonight's Iowa game and starts thinking about next week...

But I thought only IU students didn't show up to the games...

Arkansas obviously isn’t the 8th best team in the country, but I’m not sure Georgia isn’t the best. This defense is horrifying.

I don’t know, I think Arkansas is probably as good as Cincy or ND or Penn St. But there just looks like a gigantic gap between the top 2 and everyone else. Probably a pretty fair assumption that UGA and Bama are gonna play twice this year.

I guess I need to see them play someone that’s somewhere between CFP team (UGA) and probably bad P5 team (Texas and A&M). I’m rooting for Arkansas like hell though. Love their story, coach, etc. just not sure they belong in the top 10 yet. Very much like us last year.

Georgia is decent guess. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Georgia hasn't allowed a TD in 17 of 18 quarters this season... That's insane.

Is it ever not raining at Purdue home games? WL is like a black hole of dreadful weather and ugly people.

You want to see some bad P5 football? Mizzou just gave up 45 at home to Tennessee in the 1st half. Though, to be fair, Tenn’s end of half FG broke a streak of 8 consecutive TD drives they’d allowed, including last week. So, there’s that.

Other than rooting against ND being a fun time overall, I’m a Cincy fan today for “hey IU still doesn’t have a bad loss” reasons.

Getting absolutely destroyed by Iowa is a bad loss no matter what. Cincy... McFadden never goes out... I think we win. We were dominating them up to that point.
