Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

Whats crazy is the Buckeyes have lost 3 of their last 4, with the offense looking very poor in the losses.

Sayin has to calm down and must make the routine throws or this year is going to get out of hand fast. He MUST use his check downs.

Obviously not calling for him to be benched, but i believe Fahey would have hit some of those under routes for 1st downs. They must drill it into him on the film room, that the team caption, number 0, is open quite regularly.

You can't blame the defense. They are exponentially less experienced and younger than the offense and played the entire fucking second half because the offense couldn't stay on the field to save its life.

I don't blame the players but Patricia really shit the bed in that 2nd half.

Constant 3 man line shell prevent type crap. When they did go to 4 linemen dropping Kenyatta into coverage a lot. Wtf?

That was a 2nd half game plan of a coach who already thought the game was won at halftime.

23-3 sounds eerily similar to 28-3, not as bad though, but similar.

Luckily it was an early season game in the expanded playoff era instead of the Super Bowl/national championship game.

Not sure how "lucky" it really is. This is the kind of loss that can send a team into a complete tailspin. We have enough talent to scrape by a lot of the remaining schedule on talent alone. But if the mental effects of this choke job aren't quickly dealt with and moved on from, we are losing 3 or 4 games

Stayed up way too late stewing in this loss. Read all the clowning on Reddit and other forums and deservedly so. Just a few random thoughts no one cares about I wanted to put out there

That 4th down stop had no chance. Pettijohn had the RB bottled up even if they ran it and JMJ made an amazing tackle. Felt like we had so many players show stat turn potential.

Flukey first half TOs by Texas and we failed to capitalize. Game could have been 35-3 but also could have been a tied game going into half. Not going to dogpile on the Ryan Day turtle narrative but it’s really hard not to see.

Julian Sayin is not HIM. He looked shell shocked. Reminded me a bit of McCord, which honestly still should have been enough but missed a few second half throws and reads I thought he should be making by now.

Defense was bound to have growing pains but Sanchez, LBs, middle of the field were all exposed. Also not a fan of dropping linemen into coverage so often.

Offensive genius needs to have the offense humming. Thought above stand but they were put into a really bad situation with the multiple 3 and outs. Also clock management at the end was abysmal. Asking a gassed defense to do goal line stands was awful. Asking too much of the defense seems to be a calling card of this offensive guru which…what? Also also Payton Pierce as spy wasn’t working

All the goals are still ahead of us and if you’d said before the game OSU loses a tight night game in Austin by a point I think we’d all take that. Still the way it happened casts a long shadow on the program and it’s incumbent on them to respond.

Btw I still hate the fact that our backups don’t get a chance to run the actual offense when we’re against outmatched opponents.

I think Sayin played really well in the 1st half. The TD to Smith at the end of the half is not a play a "shell shocked" QB makes.

I really think this one is all on the coaches. They came out in the 2nd half playing with no fire or energy and I truly believe this is because the coaches pretty much declared the game over at halftime and instead of attempting any adjustments pretty much just decided we were going to go through the motions and run the game out with a W. This of course runs off on the players. This is all mostly on Day.

As for "goals still ahead of us" I still think people are underestimating the psychological effect a complete legendary choke job like this can have on a team with a bunch of new players who's still finding it's legs. I'm not sure Day is the guy to get the ship turned mentally around from THIS complete abortion.

Texas tried their hardest to give us that game. A fumble on the first play, the biggest freak interception we will see all seasons and then THREE fumbles in the fourth quarter to seal the game we couldn't jump on.

Sark looked like he had fucking shell shock before half-time. He looked like a mentally broken man on that sideline and we let that fucker back into the game. You could see on his face that he was finished. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LET THEM GET BACK INTO THE GAME?

We were up 20-3 at half-time, but it could have easily been 17-14 Texas.

The defense is young and will improve. I don't think we had a single player on defense that's ever played in an environment like Texas away at night in a top 5 matchup.

Texas has more game experience than we do overall was playing at home in 100° heat. And it still took players and coaches coming together to fuck it up completely.

Other than the playoffs in 2024 after the legendary post-Michigan "accountability meeting", where players and coaches laid into Day, have we seen where Day stopped playing with his food in the second half and went for the kill.

And I can't help but notice that other than when Chip Kelly ran the offense, the one guy on Earth Ryan Day wouldn't dare tell what to do, our offense has played the EXACT same way when having a lead. In EVERY big game.

It's almost as if Ryan Day would rather play with other teams and have dog fights than stomp on their heads and put them away for good.

This was some NFL bullshit. I guess that's the drawback of having NFL coordinators sometimes you're gonna get that.

The constant 3 man line no rush shell prevent crap with a lead later in the game is shit you see week to week in the NFL

Dude…I’m serious. I want Day to be the CEO of the program. Recruit, develop, pay forward with dignity and class. But come gametime, we need a different head coach calling the shots. He needs a significant talent advantage to win. That’s not game coaching

We tried a couple.....Jeremiah dropped them because the D made plays.



Guys, there were enough failures to go around. We need to stop pretending like we can pin this on one person. Sayin missed a walk in TD in the 2nd half.....overthrew him by a lot. But he also played pretty great. Jeremiah dropped a couple passes that he usually would have caught. But obviously he went beast mode and is still an alien. We went conservative too early. The DLine was getting pushed around. The kicker missed what would've iced the game....but he nailed 3 before that, including a 48 yarder.

It makes us feel better if all of the problems are because of one thing, because then we can just change that one thing and everything is perfect. That's not how it works. We went to the wire with a really good team at their place and came up a point short in week 2. We've lost to much worse teams than #4 Texas @ Texas and won championships in that same season.

Agree with so much here.

Day insists on playing with 1 arm tied behind his back. Ghosts or demons of something force him to steer right into the oncoming traffic And run when passing is working. Or pass when running is working. He just has no feel for what is going on during the game. It’s scripted.

The lack of clock management is even more embarrassing today. I’d have put chances at getting a reasonable FG attempt at 80% had Day let Texas score with 1 minute and 1 timeout.

Well, Archie finally did what he does best, he ran with the ball. He wore out the defensive line chasing him.

meanwhile, the bucks walked away from an offense centered on an excellent qb and incredible wide outs, to try and play smash mouth against a smash mouth team.
and then there’s their consistent problems finding the ghost that f Lou Groza.
