Shit they gave us a few chances in the second half too and yep.Yes no blaming the refs in this one. Texas gave us multiple chances to run away in the 1st half and we couldn't do it
Stalling inside the 5 after that 1st play fumble.
The failed 4th down.
Too many points left off the board
He ran the plays but he didn’t settle. He made the plays work when it counted. He scrambled and moved around in the pocket. Was it the play or the QB’s adjustments that earned those 4th downs?Lol what are you talking about. Arch ran the plays he was given he wasn't calling the shots
Especially one with 50+ new buckeyes.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
If you're depending on a call, then you've already lost.First holding call all night. It’s definitely a valid one, but you mother duckers ignored a whole bunch of other ones.
Math much?Like Texas wouldn't have gone for 2 or anything if the score was different.
I can see that. Two more regular season losses and a loss in the playoffs. Oregon looks beatable. We won't get a good read on Indiana until we play them.This could be a 3-4 loss season if we don't get shit fixed quick.
Shut the fuck up. Ryan Day choked. It's what he does. He's an amazing OC. He's a TERRIBLE head coach.There’s genuinely no shame in losing at Texas. They’re arguably the more talented team. But losing like this? Getting out scored 20-0 in the 4th? That’s definitely a “Someone got paid off“ type of collapse lol.
so we would have won by 1?....Like Texas wouldn't have gone for 2 or anything if the score was different.
While I understand blaming the coaching staff for overall success; the QB is supposed to lead the team not just run plays. Manning made it happen. Sayin depended on the coaches. Now, this is just my opinion because I never liked Sayin from the start.

The biggest thing with Sayin is he's ultra-efficient when he's comfortable with what he's seeing. He's literally Drew Brees 2.0.
Clearly something was off in that 2nd half and I think @buckeyemania11 said it - Texas adjusted and Ohio state did not.
Sayin was NOT the problem tonight. Not even remotely.
Like Texas wouldn't have gone for 2 or anything if the score was different.What the actual fuck, asshole? Kick the fucking field goal when it’s 4th and 2 from the 12, you prick. Stop trying to prove that you’re tough. Take the points, play defense and get the ball back. If you just do that, we win by 2.
In fairness, he’s gotten them to rebound before. He seems to think that a big game always has to be hard though and thus makes it so. Texas was handing OSU this game, and it was as if he couldn’t believe it was real and so made it not real.
The question is, where does the pussy vibe come from? He didn’t have it as an OC, or even in his first year as HC. I’d really hoped he’d conquered it with the 2024 run, but apparently not.the players and coordinators feed off
the pussy vibe. it’s contagious.
this is the truth.
Just think of it this way…You should care...over a full season they tell a story.

Once again the 2nd half was a shit show but not because it was conservative
Props to your for realizing so early.. maybe it was the emotions but it took me until the second random fourth down conversion until I knew.There was a certain point near the end of the 3rd when I said "I've seen this script before" and knew the home team looking for revenge is going to get it. My dad looked over and asked why I was so unemotional and I said because I know where this is headed. Hoped I was wrong but yeah, you watch enough football and you just kinda know.

Texas was handing OSU this game, and it was as if he couldn’t believe it was real and so made it not real.The close road loss to Oregon wasn't an all time level choke job. I don't think Day is the guy that gets his team to rebound from something like this.
You should care...over a full season they tell a story.I don’t care about stats. I care about how he leads the team and how they respond to him. Absolutely no fire on the offense. Without Smith, there would no hopes for any postseason.
I’ll second this…Lol, I will pull back. But the poorly missed field goal. Bad offensive calls. Uncharacteristic drops by Smith. Bad clock management and bad defensive sets seemingly changed the game.
