Well, I'm already making promises I can't keep. In my last post I said I would post on Saturday after the game, and here we are two days later. Good Job, Claire, good job. We had a pretty busy weekend, we spent the whole weekend with family and friends, and it was exactly what we needed after a long week. It was wonderful spending time with the people we love, it honestly rejuvenates the soul. 

Livian is too big for your shoulders Brielle!

We kicked off the weekend watching the Ohio State game, had a BBQ after the victory, drank some beers, played some games with our friends and family and had some laughs. Family is my life, and I loved that we were able to spend time with both sides of our family, it's awesome living so close because we get to see everyone often.

My Thoughts About the Game

 We are 5-0 and that is something to get pumped about! I am going to be transparent and say I was a little disappointed with how my Buckeyes played. This was the first game so far this season that I've been stressed out and it brought back some memories of last season. I'm hoping that it was simply a bad day for Ohio State and that they are coming into the next game at Wisconsin with a strong game plan and they just straight up whoop Badger ass. 

The game started out slow, and that was a red flag for me. I instantly knew that it was going to be an annoying game, with stupid plays, and I would hear my husband yell "run the damn ball" over and over again. And it's true, we all know those plays work, so why the hell were they trying to get fancy with the play calling? The game began to pick up the pace, and I was happy they beat Indiana by 21 points. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the score. I'm really praying to the college football Gods this week and hoping that the game this upcoming Saturday is similar to what we witnessed in 2014 when our Buckeyes played Wisconsin.

Something that also probably made me in a bad mood was that we watched the game on ESPN. The commentators drive me absolutely bat-shit crazy. Everything was about the Hoosiers the entire time, and how "great" they were doing. But we all know who ESPN loves, and it ain't Ohio State. So, maybe, just MAYBE Ohio State didn't do as bad as everyone thinks they did, what if it was all strategy for this big Ohio State-Wisconsin match-up and all the silly play calling was really just a ruse? Now, wouldn't that be somethin' clever?

Overall, I wasn't impressed with Indianas offense or defense, so I think that's why I was so confused as to why the Buckeyes didn't crush it like they had been for the past four games. All I know is that even without Zeke the Beast, Ohio State can still run the damn ball. They're a good f***ing team, and even though their performance on Saturday wasn't at 100%, they still won, and they won by 21 points... They're still THE Ohio State Buckeyes, and they're gonna dominate this upcoming Saturday, and I am SO ready to see this shit go down. 

Justin's Players of the Game

Offense: JT Barrett- Off day throwing the ball but managed the running game well--137 rushing yards 1TD

Defense: DLine- Besides opening drive held IU to 2.5 YPC on 40 attempts.

Break out player: Parris Campbell 149 return yards, 91 yard kick off return before halftime was enough to get the Buckeyes back to a 2 score lead.

That's all we have for today, until next time, and thanks for reading! O-H!

Love, 

The Buckeye Baileys
