    This is more and more where I'm sitting as I'm thinking about it. The defense that was played tonight cannot be more than a changeup going forward. You never let a struggling QB get back to rhythm and that's exactly what happened tonight.

    The one to 4 tonight was going to be no catch because the defender steered him OOB on his route. The biggest miss tonight to me was the Inniss seam that got missed. I think they got a FG after that though.

    That game teetered the moment 4 didn't make the block on that screen. Ohio State was chasing everything after that point.

    yeah he certainly looked passive on that long pass to Roberts.... Seriously. We get you hate Sayin for some inexplicable and illogical reason, but Sayin was NOT the issue tonight. There are larger systemic things you should be focusing on if you want to figure out the root cause.

    I don't think anyone "quit"....if they quit they aren't trying to stop Texas at the 1 yard line.

    That will forever be Sparty 1998 for me. Tonight sucked no doubt, and it should have been a win, but at least Texas has a legitimately top-10 if not top-5 team talentwise. That Sparty team was lucky to be going bowling that year.

    You should care...over a full season they tell a story. The biggest thing with Sayin is he's ultra-efficient when he's comfortable with what he's seeing. He's literally Drew Brees 2.0. Clearly something was off in that 2nd half and I think @buckeyemania11 said it - Texas adjusted and Ohio...

    You didn't like a dude that completed nearly 80% of his passes and finished 4th in the Heisman voting? That says more about you than it does him.

    Give texas their due, they were pretty decent in coverage most of the night. This might be their best defense since 2005 honestly. I do wonder where the middle of the field went. It was open early and then they stopped throwing it in the 2nd quarter onward.

    100% a drop - either because he dropped it or ran the wrong route. Gotta be better.

    If he just catches that slant on the last real drive, I think they score a TD. If if if if if if if....

    He did. And I think the coaches failed Will Howard in that game. He was clearly concussed. I don't think Kyle McCord wins that game either though.

    8. And I have zero issue with that number. Smith was the best player on the field tonight and you get him the goddamned ball.

    McCuin had a pretty brutal drop on a back shoulder throw in the 3rd as I remember....

    This was a Level 3 loss if you go by the Bill Simmons (he's a douche bag) scale. Level III: The Slow Bleed – Watching your team slowly fall apart or blow a big lead over a full game or series.

    I doubt that's ever going to be the offense this year. Smith wants to use the tight ends. Day wants to use the tight ends. Hell Urban would be using the tight ends. The only one who ever put them consistently in 4 wide was Chip Kelly and he's gone.

    and honestly, the linebacker level was super inconsistent tonight....some plays they were going downhill and filling their run fits perfectly and then other plays they were very passive and getting caught up in the wash....

    You'd be wrong. All Cryami had to do was take a knee and the game was over. They fumbled. Georgia Tech scored 2 plays later after going 80 yards. NOTHING will ever top that, no matter how bad tonight was.
