Damn this game will be lucky to have 95k there… we might report 101k but it’ll look terrible I bet.

I think he was and I think you’re right it’s an issue. He’s not exactly selfless. He’s pretty damn brash if you think about how he’s done teams in the past.

there’s no way he thought “this will work”

Only reason I think is “this would be funny if this hits”

There was just no energy from anyone in the 2nd half. Meanwhile Texas was playing with crackhead energy. Classic case of a team checking out because they assumed the game was over and this includes the coaches who that all falls on.

Yeah that’s all this was.

One team quit and one team kept swinging.

We quit.

I’ll take back that said not the defense.

They quit too.

Both sides quit because no one had the balls from either the offense or defense to step up and tell Ryan to stay aggressive. If I can see this loss coming 2 possessions before it happened I know the players and coaches could feel it.

So why didn’t anyone do anything? Why didn’t anyone tell Ryan to stay on the gas? Why did it have to again come down to a missed field goal.

I think that pitch was stupid too, but I think that was on purpose. I think Ryan Day was hoping that cashed in so it’d be the ultimate “see this is how you do it” considering 2025 cotton bowl. Maybe I’m off base but I fully think that was an attempted fuck your message that failed.

Which is a bigger issue now that I think of it. I’ve never seen that play work near the goal line. Never.

I’ve seen it work on fourth and short mid field but never at the goal line

You'll see it a handful of times tomorrow during the NFL games too probably. It's weird.

When it comes to Smith, the first half play calling was mostly good but there were 2 terrible calls that ended up being very consequential.

That stupid pitch play inside the 5 that killed the drive and we had to settle for a FG

The awkward slow developing run on 4th down. I don't mind going for it but that's definitely not it.

The 2nd half was just a complete fuck show of complacency by the whole coaching staff. There's no other explanation other than that they truly thought they had the game wrapped up already and were just gonna simply go through mundane motions and run the game out.

Captain Buckeye said:

Me either.

Julian isn’t and wasn’t the issue.

No freaking clue what happened in the second half but my educated guess was we got too conservative. We thought we should just bleed clock and it back fired. And now that I think of it I remember Ryan Day saying after half time he knew it was going to be a 4 quarter game.

Why did it have to be? It didn’t half to be a 4 quarter game. NONE OF THESE GAMES have to be. You could’ve had a 3 quarter game had you just played 3 quarters but you couldn’t do that Ryan.

We had to play 4 quarters because your team didn’t bother to play (especially on offense) the last 2 quarters.

I've been posting relevant things all goddamn night. You came on here with "I don't like Sayin and I'm dumb" or whatever you said.

We are not the same.

If you want to see things that would have gotten an actual response, look at what @inliner311 posted and try again.

Oh and no one asked for the resume. I don't give a shit if you've been a fan since 1923 and wiped the sweat off of Les Horvath's taint, no one cares.

TJbuck12 said:

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.

Click to expand...

I think the design of the offense doesn't utilize our best player in Smith to his absolute fullest because Sayin isn't a good deep ball thrower. I think Sayin basically limits this offense. Smith and the other WRs were recruited to play one style which was basically a lot more about stretching the field and Sayin basically takes that out of the equation.

While I wouldn't say Sayin was the problem tonight. I do think if we had a better fit at QB to the other talent the offense would have more explosive plays and a higher ceiling. Sayin would fit better in an offense full of players that are great at getting YAC. Legend Bey might need to be incorporated more to help but since Day has been here the shifty YAC receivers haven't been a priority in recruiting. Route running and speed is what Day have looked for at WR. Without being able to stretch the field, the other WRs have to deal with a compressed field and Smith's talent doesn't open up the offense like it should.

I counter your point and suddenly I become stupid? Sayin cannot and will not lead this team to a championship. Your devoted love for him has not gone unnoticed. I am rooting for his 300+ yards and laser efficiency versus the Kent State powerhouse.

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.

Click to expand...

Kenyatta in coverage was definitely Patricia thinking he was playing 4D chess and it would confuse Arch. Infuriating and shouldn't have happened more than once.

Mike80 said:

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.
