He almost swung at a ball in the other batters box

Vogt has somehow managed to get Hedges up there in seemingly every critical spot this series. Bold.

Here comes Austin Hedges to bat in a 3-2 game with the bases loaded and 2 outs.

My dad and I were debating that very topic, or at least discussing. I agree there are no Bosa or Young types of talent this year. But collectively as a unit last year we were dominant and most of those guys are back, which leads me to think scheme is more to blame even if play has dropped off.

My only explanation for that is they wanted to be more aggressive and create havoc, and this might not be a group that's good at that. Or not yet, at least. Wouldn't think they would need the season to get comfortable, but every year is different.

Another thing is maybe losing Hall, Eich and Chambers hurt more than we expected. I just figured the talent was there to replace them with everyone coming back. Which again leads me to believe scheme is a major problem because you have Simon who I thought was pretty proven and same with Styles, Hicks and Powers in the wings at LB. Still have Tyleik and Hamilton inside. Without the benefit of reviewing the film, I can't definitely say what all is to blame but it sure seems like scheme and coaching is the big culprit.

Burke has been getting torched in man coverage, but the rest of the DBs altogether shouldn't be allowing receivers to be running wild with huge gaps in coverage. Some of the missed tackles are just so bad that I'm wondering what's going on with coaching. I'll be watching that issue more closely in future games, that's for sure.

Hall is definitely missed if only to provide pressure on passing downs. LB seems like a tough position in this defense. A lot of ground to cover and lot of reads to make. As for tackling, it seems like they don't do game speed tackling every week in practice. They need to go back to that.

AUSTIN HEDGES will now catch the rest of the game, he will likely get 2 at bats. That makes the Fry hack even more brutal.

Not that we are gonna score multiple runs anyway, but still hilariously bad.

Brutal first pitch hack for a easy shallow pop up for Fry pinch hitting with the bases loaded and 1 out.

Tried it, not a fan

Well, at least you didn’t go all the way and make him Harvey Haddix!

I got his autograph when I was a kid at a signing at Eastland Mall

I like how the egotistical narcissist is talking about how brilliant he is to anyone who will listen because...uh...he's confident the ncaa won't send him to prison? Like what the fuck he got to lose besides his 15 minutes? There's no way they believe the bullshit they say. Just no way

Jose fails to be clutch yet again. He hit that HR against Detroit but has otherwise been completely awful in the postseason

Roccio drops a fucking pop fly in the infield, allowing a run to score, what a joke. This series is over, so much self inflicted comedy not even making them earn it.

Is that bad?

Why do that when you can just wildly swing at anything they throw at you?

Well that's what I would do

Recruiting isn't the problem though; it's development. We have two 5 star, top 10 overall DE recruits starting who've been in the program 4 years and neither has lived up to their ranking. Same thing with Zach Harrison when he was here

Or maybe it’s that JT and Sawyer weren’t as good in college as their HS ranking. 5stars can dominate HS competition, but CFB history has countless former 5stars who had average to irrelevant college careers(remember Ronald Powell in ‘10 or DaShawn Hand in ‘14). It also Doesn’t help when defensive coaches refuse to rotate DL, causing massive fatigue by the 4th quarter.

I completely missed the fact that Baker Mayfield is kicking ass. I have him as my backup QB in fantasy to Stroud but I may need to start him.

And this while Deshaun Cosby is sucking for Cleveburg. Hilarious on so many levels.

Sallions is doing podcasts and shit because he's a full of himself narcissist, he could care less what scUM wants him to do. He's not gonna expose that they cheated outright, but otherwise he's gonna keep getting all the attention he can.

Come on, man. You are better than that. Until Oregon you didn’t even hear his name because teams wouldn’t throw his way.

I've noticed man coverage issues before this game. Not last year, this season. The QB might have missed his guy, but not because coverage was tight. I can't explain it and I'm rooting for Burke, but he went from an incredible freshman season, to a bad sophomore season, to an elite junior year, and this year is looking like his sophomore slump on his senior season.

Oregon clearly picked on him all night because of it. No matter what WR that Oregon threw out, he was an absolute liability. I get individual matchup issues, but it wasn't. I get having a bad night too, been there and that's hopefully all it was. My point is we had to adjust for that night at the very least, then adjust. Tough decision to make but necessary.

I'm just seeing more of what I saw in his sophomore season unfortunately. Hoping he bounces back, but Mathews has to get in there.

I like how Stations is placed on some sort of pedestal, as if the school didn't just throw him under the bus.

Intentional Walking the bases loaded to face AARON JUDGE.

Bold strategy.

Good season considering nothing was expected. Just dont have the offense or starting pitching to compete with the big boys though, doesn't help when the defense decides not to show up either.

This would be a great scenario, but it would also mean that OSU also loses in the B1G championship…

These guys just swing at everything. The Yankees are patient and wait for pitches they can drive. Big difference in plat approaches and it shows.
