Am just as disappointed in the loss as any in Buckeye Nation. Maybe a bit more, dunno. tOSU D got 'handled'. I get that the Ducks WRs were good, they showed that, and yes, Gabriel has a better arm than Will. Methinks there's more than a little dissention between Knowles and LJ on how the DL should be playing. Was dissapointed in the push, guess Oregon's OL was better than anticipated? Or was tOSU's DL just not as good? Maybe Day, along with Knowles and LJ should have the proverbial 'Come to Jesus' meeting. Still doesn't excuse the DBs. Last year #1, AND then add Downs? Come on. Simply hurts to have a team pick on the #1 DB. To me, it was simply a weird game. Cannot put my finger on it, but from the jump, something was 'off' for me. LBs a bright spot, handled the TE OK, not great, but acceptable. Worst part of the game is that Simmons looks like he's done for the year. Drop off from #1 to #2 LT is significant. Michaelski played OK, didn't see any undue pressure from that side, but their #1 DE was injured and didn't play. Cannot agree with those that thought Chip was asleep at the switch, thought he called a good game, and kept Oregon on their heels (was surprised when first TD was mostly passes), but I guess so did they! In crunch time, kept waiting for him to call a stunner, or the players make a spectacular play, but just didn't happen. Don't really blame Will for running out of clock, heck, happens all the time in basketball, and I didn't understand why clock didn't stop on OPI. Plenty to correct, Nebraska has always been my 'trap' game, sandwiched between Oregon and Penn St. Hopefully the Buckeyes will come out storming, and put half of Nebraska on their a**es on the opening kick-off. Oh wait, that was from The Replacements.....Oh well, Go Bucks! PS, the sun came up today, but just wasn't as bright.
