I have been Ryan Day's biggest supporter over the years, but I'm done. This loss was inexcusable. Day failed to go for the jugular (he never does) and he essentially tried to run out the clock for the entire second half. Gutless football, play not to lose, choke the game away.

This is where I'm at.

Urban makes it 45-3 sometime in the 4th quarter. Tressel takes the air out of the ball entirely and goes on an 8 minute drive.

That was the issue.

It’s both. It’s Day turtling to play for a FG he doesn’t have anyone to kick. Either go recruit a Nugent or play Urban offense and try and score 70 every game. You can’t do neither.

He didn't turtle in fact you can argue he went too aggressive they went for the end zone instead of the first down

Ryan Day has lost his edge and there’s no leader on the offense. The Buckeyes will not win a championship with Sayin as QB.

Gutsy calls by Sark on those 2 4th down plays in his own territory.

He can I agree. But he was right on that

With how mentally fragile weve seen Day get there's a good chance he doesn't recover from this and we completely tailspin

Boneheaded shit throughout 2nd half, and they let texas maul JJ again and again. Just move the ball to the middle of the field so the kicker doesn't have the most difficult angle possible. Day doesn't remember how the fucking georgia game ended??

Stupid, stupid stupid

Kick the fucking field goal to go up 13-0!

Dude….it’s like Day wanted to lose this. Because he called it so

I’m not exaggerating when I say that the last 1:30 looked like Day wanted to make it come down to a goal line stand ………frankly I can’t trust him to beat a team with equal talent. He really hasn’t

This team is not making the goalline stand the teams in the past two years did. Did we lose players from those teams. I always forget.

If Arch were a better QB, they would have won readily. Lots of plays failed and went our way and we still lost. That's a fact.

Well, Ryan Day has just managed to blow a 23-3 fourth quarter lead.

This is Michigan State 1998 version 2.0.

In that game, Ohio State led 24-9 with 9:40 left in the 3rd quarter with Michigan State punting. Ohio State muffed the punt, Michigan State recovered, and the Spartans went on a 19-0 run to win the game, 28-24.

In this game, Ohio State led 23-3 with 5:47 left in the 3rd quarter with the Buckeyes punting. Texas muffed the punt which should have been recovered by Ohio State but wasn't, and the Longhorns went on a 21-0 run to win the game 24-23.

I have been Ryan Day's biggest supporter over the years, but I'm done. This loss was inexcusable. Day failed to go for the jugular (he never does) and he essentially tried to run out the clock for the entire second half. Gutless football, play not to lose, choke the game away.

Stop blaming the kicker. He should never have been put in that position. That was complete implosion in the 2nd half by the coaching staff. Julian saying he wants to get JJ a shot at the Heisman, well, at what detriment to the team? There are other receivers and too much forcing to JJ.

I don’t think it’s the kickers at this point. I think the team might sense Day getting tight and plays like this. Prior to this the kicker we brought in was known as being pretty clutch.

All they needed was a FG and they couldn’t even do it. Well deserved, Coach. Dust off the pitchforks.

Will need a week to cool off after that. What the absolute fuck

zone defence all night and no pass rush _equals the coaches suck . You cant give any QB time to throw the ball

Well, some line shifts, bltizes, and much fewer three-man rush might have made things better enough ...

I don’t mind losing 24-23BUT JESUS BUCKS.

System_id said:

I saw 2024 go on a tear after easily the worst lost to SCUM ever but getting out score 20-0 in the 4th makes me think Day might be mentally shattered after this. This is an awful loss they shouldn’t have happened.

Day.

Then whomever else to whatever tiny lesser degree.

Days clock control in the second half was head scratching in my opinion.

So many what iffs. Like not following the analytics and kicking a field goal early.

9-3 at best.

And that's if they don't choke away a game at USC or at Iowa. I think they will lose @ IU and I think Oregon gets them at home (despite what Oregon looked like today).

This team just showed it's glass jaw - if you keep it semi-close, they will play soft zone and let you get stuff over the middle. It was there all day long too, it wasn't just the 2nd half.

Offensively....I need to think about the offense. Frankly, they were blowing Texas off the ball until the 2nd half. Too many drops and incompletions that mattered.

And for the love of FUCK get a kicker.
