I think the constant rotations hurt them on both sides of the ball, and if they can tighten those up, it will help. The last time I remember them substituting that liberally on defense is ‘21 Minnesota.
Substitutions were an absolute must tonight though.

There were a lot of odd things - like on obvious passing downs I would have had Kenyatta going off the edge more, yet he was dropping into coverage...it was very odd.

This is more and more where I'm sitting as I'm thinking about it.

The defense that was played tonight cannot be more than a changeup going forward. You never let a struggling QB get back to rhythm and that's exactly what happened tonight.

Wow, how about the missed TD pass. Seriously, I know that Sayin is the greatest QB in Buckeyes history but he played passively the 2nd half.
Don't be stupid.

Sayin was aggressive when it was called for tonight, probably too much so in a couple cases. This weird hate you have for him is stupid and points to a lack of understanding on your part.

yeah he certainly looked passive on that long pass to Roberts....

Seriously. We get you hate Sayin for some inexplicable and illogical reason, but Sayin was NOT the issue tonight. There are larger systemic things you should be focusing on if you want to figure out the root cause.

A coward and a quitter. How noble.
Cool man… I know you don’t like me.

It’s cool. I don’t like you either.

I know I didn’t say anything wrong here. We blew it. We just did.

I’m not saying the season it over. I’m saying we are in deep shit here with the schedule we have. I’m being consistent by saying we shouldn’t be playing these games.

It’s worked out because we’ve won the last few years… but now that we lost. I can confirm the stress is now real. Which we just didn’t need considering the schedule.

Arch is literally known for folding under pressure hell we saw it in the 1st half and completely went away from it. Criminal once again

This wasn’t even a tenth as bad as the loss to Michigan in 2024, and he and the team figured shit out. It is only the 2nd early season loss they’ve had, though. 3 of the last 4 years they’ve waited until the issue was forced to make changes and tough decisions. My hope is that this sets that into motion much faster.

Burn the tape, move forward, and start working on solutions.

If you just look at the L sure. I think people are downplaying the type of psychological effect an all time 4th quarter big lead blowing choke job can have though . Especially for an already inexperienced team

To me, this loss sits squarely on Patricia's shoulders. Rush 3, drop 8, the entire 4th quarter. Game over.

No, no way.

They certainly could’ve done something to ice the game but all the offense had to do was score 1 time. Literally just once.

I will edit to say that we need to evaluate the defense. Get #5 on the field on defense. I don’t care if that takes 26 off the field. Do it.

The one to 4 tonight was going to be no catch because the defender steered him OOB on his route.

The biggest miss tonight to me was the Inniss seam that got missed. I think they got a FG after that though.
Yeah the 2 back to back TD's was way overthrowing McCuin then I think Innis down the seam on the other side when he forced an almost pick to Jeremiah. Fg made it 23 instead of 27

The last one I agree if Jeremiah would have got his feet inbounds on that one I would have been super impressed

Different kind of rebound. An all time level choke job like this takes a whole different psychological toll on a team. I just don't think Day is the type to get the roster to move forward from this type of loss

I didn’t jump off any band wagon and I’m not now.

Just stating the obvious here… we blew it. The biggest choke job as a buckeye fan for me and we blew it.

Now we are staring at how many top 10 games?

As I said last year, before this year and now again… we should NOT be playing these games non conference.

We aren’t going to get grace when if we have a 9-3 record. It won’t matter if it’s 1 point to a shitty Texas team or a 3 point loss to Indiana or a 7 point loss to USC.

No one in the CFP area has ever got a pass for scheduling these fucking games. We never got credit for them and we won’t get credit for the loss. Just stop scheduling these.

I don’t give a shit if it’s boring. I don’t care if we are “unproven” in October. We’ll figure it out.

Because I can tell you a 10-2 buckeye team is on and a 9-3 buckeye team is out.

He missed a TD the paly before and another to carnell. The first one was a pretty routine play if he doesn't drop his eyes. The 2nd one would have been a great play. But it's much like he missed back to back TD's in the 3rd qtr. And one to Jeremiah in the endzone though I do!'t remember if we got a TD that drive. If you expect a college QB to be perfect to win the game you have bigger issues cause even the pros flub one or two passes a game

And we would’ve won by 2 or 1 if we’d kicked the field goal from the 12 instead of turning the ball over on downs, lab partner.
Ok. We kick that FG and in the 4th Q we're up 26-3. Texas scores. 26-11. They score again. 26-19. They score again.

Need it explained further? You can't give us 3 points from the 1st Q and then pretend like Texas would have played things exactly the same.

They didn't figure it out last year because the schedule was so soft that there was nothing to figure out until it was too late and had no time time to fix it.

That game teetered the moment 4 didn't make the block on that screen. Ohio State was chasing everything after that point.

Feel free to jump off the bandwagon like the last time we played Texas. Talk about quitters.
