This game kind of reminds me of 2005 OSU vs Tex. Hard fought close game, with some notable mistakes and the clock killed OSU. However, with that game we lost in our own hostile environment, and people didn't want to throw Tress on the stake.

Two rather large differences:

1. Day doesn't have the track record JT had in year 6.

2. The fanbase has grown far more spoiled/complacent. When bad things happen, people lose their shit.

By that point Tress had won a natty, multiple wins over scUM, a couple big bowl wins, one loss away from playing for another natty and defending a title.

JT earned a lot of slack.

A natty and beating the shit out of ttun will do that.

Face it, anything over 50 yards had less than a 10% chance of going through.

And that’s being generous.

Never trust a college kicker. Been my mantra for a minute.

Had multiple chances at 2 point conversions to either be tied there or ahead prior to that drive but we never tried anything. Did it matter? Maybe, maybe not.

Can't underestimate that last part. Bjork has proven nothing, and his handling of the Jimbo extension and firing was a catastrophic disaster that should have immediately disqualified him from consideration for the Ohio State job. Supposedly, he was handpicked by Carter, and I'm far from sold on Carter so far. If we had Andy Geiger or GS in the Captain Kirk chair making the call on a replacement, I'd feel comfortable. I have no confidence in Bjork getting it right.

Urban ain't coming back, and besides, the powers that be made it abundantly clear already that he'd worn out his welcome. Vrabel has flat out stated that he doesn't want to coach college and won't recruit. Cignetti seems promising, but college football is littered with examples of up and coming coaches who fell on their faces when given the keys to a blueblood. Actually, Lanning is the only home run hire out there, and he's not leaving Uncle Phil's money.

Cignetti needs to prove more than go 5-0 against a bunch of scrubs to consider replacing a coach who has never lost more than 2 games a season.

I think Cignetti is the real deal for what it's worth, but it's not like you guys are losing 4-6 games a year and need to replace someone direly.

Way too thin of a resume for a guy who is proven to be able to win regularly at a highest level, but maybe can't get over the hump.

If Day keeps failing in these big games, patience will run out and he'll be fired. It'll take care of itself. But I really hope he can find a way to get over the hump because I don't trust this AD to hire a moving target in the dark.
