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
Shit they gave us a few chances in the second half too and yep.

Blew it.

Most obvious but blind sided loss as a fan that I can remember

Lol what are you talking about. Arch ran the plays he was given he wasn't calling the shots
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?

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
Especially one with 50+ new buckeyes.

My worse case this year no doubt included a loss to Texas.

I said it last year and then again this year.

We should’ve never played this game. If we lose 3 games this year we aren’t going to make it to the playoffs.

We have one more mulligan and that’s it man.

The issue is I see 2 more at least on this schedule. Not because we suck but because it’s a tough schedule.

We need to cancel Alabama and cancel UGA. Stop doing these games.

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.
Shut the fuck up. Ryan Day choked. It's what he does. He's an amazing OC. He's a TERRIBLE head coach.

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.

You should care...over a full season they tell a story.

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.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

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.
Like Texas wouldn't have gone for 2 or anything if the score was different.

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 players and coordinators feed off
the pussy vibe. it’s contagious.


this is the truth.
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.

Just think of it this way…

How easy is it to ride a bike when you keep changing the gears? You get it rolling and then for no reason throw it from 8 to 1. Why? Seriously… why.

No reason at all just because.

Well can’t be shocked when it’s hard to get back to speed

The lack of adjustment was criminal. Bet your ass Day thought there was no need because I'm his mind the game was over and we could just limp dick the clock out. That's the only explanation

Once again the 2nd half was a shit show but not because it was conservative

Yeah the more I think about the 2nd half drives, I don’t think it was turtling. Game came down to guys being exhausted and the same issues with Sayin and the OL. If you’re going to run this offense, the QB CANNOT miss the throw to McCuin and has to see more of the field.

This season will come down to how the offense adjusts to this 2nd half performance. Either Sayin and the OL grow, or it will be a tough year.

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.
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.

You just knew it .

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.

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.

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.
I’ll second this…

I won’t blame JJ because everything was off by the time his drops occurred. But we ice that kick and we are going home winners, we catch a few third down balls we are going home winners, or if we just stop one of the 3 fourth down attempts we walk away winners.

I was shocked Sark was going for it but now that the games over we better do the same thing from here out or we will not be in the playoffs
