2025 Cotton Bowl BMW Thread: tOSU vs FairWeatherConvicts Led by this Generation's Chuck Amato

Gave up 150+ rushing too and allowed 50% conversions on third down too. Just couldn’t get off the field and got pushed around at key points too
yep, bend but don't break is fine when your offense is putting up points. But otherwise, both sides are just killing clock.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Watching the Orange Bowl only reinforces the fact that OSU needs to start ponying up for lineman. It's been a pretty great battle watching Oregon's OL and Texas Tech's DL so far.
Yep. Defense wins championships, but big boys in the trenches win games. Bengals have the same problem, all flash no substance.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Side thought, thinking back. Did they know our script? Not saying they cheated or anything, but Day admitted that we had a script for the first few series. When did the offense look it's worst? The first few series. When did the DB jump our play for a pick 6? etc. Once we got to the 2 minute drill at the end, and the 2 TD drives in the 2nd half, we were off script. So, is Day's script obvious?

Special teams really let us down again

Missed FG
People loses almost 10 yards in field position bc he brought that KO return out of end zone
Inniss letting multiple punts land and roll
Then the coup de grace, the illegal formation penalty that negated a punt downed at the 10 and we lose 20 yards in field position on the re kick

The defense did its just by not allowing a ton of points but they absolutely got gutted in the most crucial situations. The offense scoring 0 points and giving a pick 6 in the first half pretty much killed the game but in the end the defense failed to come through as well.

My biggest takeaway from last night, beyond someone forcing Ryan Day to take a clock management course this offseason, was how our pace of play came back to bite us in the ass.

We’ve debated all year going uptempo versus playing slow so the offense could be more efficient and eliminate mistakes.

Last night was proof, against very good defenses, increasing pace of play to put Miami on its back foot would’ve been the more prudent decision. It’s not apples to apples, as Miami had a 14-0 lead in second half, meaning they’d be more vanilla anyway, but we did finally play uptempo second half, and we had way more success. Playing uptempo forced the defense into a base call which 95% of the time means no stunts, no exotic pressure, and basic coverage in back end (man or zone but you’re not going to get a play like the pick 6 where Miami could sit back, diagnose the motion, and break on ball).

I’d love to see OSU bring in an experienced OC that can unleash the full potential of this offense. Day went from ultra aggressive in years 1 & 2, too transforming into an ultra conservative system that is playing to the detriment of the team against opponents with comparable talent.
