Hi

I ducked (no pun intended) out early as I could see how things were going. IF Oregon was not in the B1G, I wouldn't care so much for a 1 pt loss on the road. But that is a huge hit. OSU has to run the table now, and do it convincingly. There is no margin of error. Day screws this up, I suggest OSU starts looking for a new HC who can win the big games

Agree with the Day needs to start winning the big games. Disagree on running the table. We could still lose another game and land in the CFP at 10-2.

Man, lot to unpack from this one.

The defense...woof. That was the worst defensive performance in years. They just flat out got their asses beat. The DL did absolutely nothing the entire game. Denzel Burke had the worst game of his career (and he's had plenty of bad ones, probably the weirdest career for an OSU player that I can remember). The tackling was laughably bad. Just flat out god awful execution across the board. Ransom makes a nice play on the 2 point attempt and his slow ass gets caught from behind. And where are his teammates to block for him? Those 2 points would have been huge, obviously. Just a pathetic display from the defense across the board that frankly I didn't think was possible from this team especially given how good they were last year.

Ryan Day...these losses in big games are becoming way too familiar. The lack of situational awareness and clock mismanagement in this game was mindblowing. How can you not be wary of an onside kick from the 50? Why are you not calling timeouts before the 2 minute warning and just letting precious seconds go to waste? He also obviously did not know the clock would continue running after the penalty at the end. Ending that game with a timeout in your pocket is coaching malpractice. I also feel like Day overreacts to situations that have happened in the past. He heard the criticism from the lack of aggressiveness at the end of the Georgia game and because of that was way too aggressive at the end of this game. We had the ball at the 28 yard line with 40+ seconds and a timeout. How in the fuck are we continuing to only throw the ball at that point? It just doesn't make sense. He took a ton of heat for handing the ball off to Hayden for one play in that Georgia game, but that was the right thing to do! It just didn't work out, and that happens sometimes. So this time we go full air raid and guess what, we get a soft ass OPI call that essentially ended the game. Just fucking stupid shit. The guy really just can't get out of his own way in big moments and it's starting to look like this is just who he is. How he & the team respond to this is going to be huge because his job should absolutely be on the line right now as far as I'm concerned.

If there's any positive to take from this game, it's that Will Howard answered all the questions (boneheaded final play aside). He was fantastic in this game, put the team on his back and did everything to win this game. And with competent coaching, would have won. Concerns about him are gone, at least for me.

Overall, a weird fucking game. It was very Brownsy in that sense. This loss sucks right now, a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, this team still has everything in front of them and I think they can do it. I would love our chances in a rematch with Oregon on a neutral field. But Day needs to wake the fuck up and so does the defense.

Maybe we can bring back Coach Tressel for the last two minutes of each big game. That MFer had ice in his veins .... :jt:

I think there are some coaching studs in their 40's who have experience that will make the jump to major P5s in the very near future....Bob Chesney and Jon Sumrall come to mind. That said, I'm not remotely close to even considering wanting Day gone. He's made the changes we wanted, i.e. hire a true OC, and he still has some more to go (unfortunately, looking at you LJ), but we lost by 1 on the road in a game we did most critical moments wrong. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and no reason to jump to conclusions yet.

After reading all the posts pointing fingers at who is responsible for this loss, it’s pretty obvious to me.

It was a TEAM loss. Pretty hard to argue that any one individual or position group were responsible. Hell, I’d even throw in some crazy ass shit with that (was it really even intended to be an) onside kick?
Click to expand...
They are always a TEAM loss. But we certainly had a few players / coaches who provided some extra credit in the loss. Burke and I would assume Walton for leaving him in there should shoulder some additional blame for that turd performance.

With how the landscaped has totally changed winning 10/11 games a year but getting outed early in the playoff is going to be seen as a major disappointment for the upper level teams. You could say it's "insane" to want to fire a guy who wins 10/11 a year, but at some point you have to take the risk if you want to win the grand prize some day.

I just hope 1 or 2 assassins are developing as we speak that can simulate the 3 point shooting we've seen in the past. We have several players that are good to great in their roles we just need a couple of glue players that all of a sudden catch ligthening in a bottle. I think one of them could be Eboni Walker. She plays taller than she is and has a knack of making plays in the paint. God willing Maddie has been through enough just let her play a full basketball season. She's wearing 0 this year too!

You sure about that? Aren't you one of the people on the "fire fucking eveyrone" train right now? :lol:

Ultimately, you don't eliminate anything from any scenario...if you can do something that could potentially limit another team or give yours an advantage within the rules of the game, shouldn't you at least try it?

The issue is it's the same problems showing up for 6 years now. You can't blame fans for coming to the conclusion that this is what a Ryan Day team looks like, and it's what we should expect in the future.

We don't have to win every time. We do have to win more than 1 big game in 6 years.

I’d like that, but I’ll challenge you to find a better overall coach… on all the dimensions the school wants / needs. I’m not saying that, on that one dimension you’re wrong, but holistically? Where do you go?

I don’t have a single clue.

To be clear, I’m not advocating for the change at the moment. Having said that, he doesn’t have to recruit any longer. NIL collectives will do the heavy lifting. OSU is a pro team and is only going to get more “pro”.

ehh...I think it's more likely the other direction for him. I'd bet he's far more like a Saban where he doesn't want to deal with any of the NIL BS either....

Just saying Mississippi kicker made a 58 yd against LSU in 4 th qtr of tight game. Kickers are out there btw he didn’t shank 3 KO out of bounds either. To win that NC you need more than we have.

Still not convinced those were actual shanks....they looked semi-intentional like they were trying to kick to the corner in person....
