You're some dude on the internet, he's a National Championship winning coach. I'm going to err on the side of Ryan Day.

This guy's a real jerk
Bizarre game, probably the teams most disappointing effort so far.
Still a ranked win on the road, even at their worst, this team is tough to beat. We have it pretty damn good. Still a lot to clean up before thinking about a natty though. Win and improve.

Just a schlub from Y-town
The concerns by many are not giving ILL enough credit. OSU had to play a top 20 team, in a hostile environment, and also having to get moving at 11 am.
Ill is a solid team. This is probably a game that will be similar to Scum. Gritty, physical, and throwing different things at the Buckeyes.
It was sloppy, but it was also a good win.

2 steps forward, 1 step back with this team so far this year.
However can't really ask for much more out of such an inexperienced group. As we have seen, other highly regarded teams have either lost or have struggled with inferior opponents. Ohio State hasn't had that problem so far this year. No game has been close except Texas.

Turnovers were the major difference in today's game.
Still struggling with red zone offense
Not sure why MP did not dial up more blitzes
Really glad to see KJ at full go today
Iggy returned to some bad habits
Julian seemed a bit off today but did well overall
CJ was a solid contributor in today's game
Penalties continue to be a problem

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': All true and they can continue to work in those "problem items" this week in practice; however, we still won the game and that is the most important thing about the game today.
Anyone know what the best thing about being 6-0 is?

Wow, y'all are tough critics. My only problem with the offense was that they shut it down way too early. We're fine.

Just sayin': It looks like a fairly new Illibuck. I wondered what happens to the old Illibucks...
- What happens to the retired turtles: The fate of the retired trophies varies. For instance, Illibuck IX is on display in the Ohio Union at Ohio State University. Other retired trophies are likely held in the universities' archives or by the student honorary societies responsible for the tradition, Bucket and Dipper (Ohio State) and Atius-Sachem (Illinois).
- Other incidents: At least one wooden Illibuck was stolen by Illinois students in 1945, though its ultimate fate is unknown.

Same shit, different year with some of them.
But apparently trusting the coaches equates to defending Hitler, so consider the source in some cases

Few thoughts.
First the good.
1. Offensive line continues to give Sayin time and consistently moved the pile on short situations. They’re a tough group.
2. The LBs played very well. Pierce did really well, Reese was still a problem, and Sonny was solid as always.
3. The defense really did a great job stopping the run and forcing turnovers. Three turnovers were a big reason why we got the win.
The not so great.
1. Penalties were an issue all game. Davison had trouble today and likely could’ve had a few more against him too.
2. The pace of play and lack of aggression game plan for both sides was a bit confusing. Hard to argue with a 18 point win but the offense plays so damn slow. The defense just wasn’t aggressive really at all. Credit to Illinois for shutting down our 4 man pressure. Their QB had all day to throw.
3. Running game. I think the heavy packages hurts the offense. This has been a critique of mine for a while of Day. We tend to go heavy when we want to run the ball but imo things are more difficult running into stacked boxes.
All this to say that we won by more than 2 scores and we likely played our worst game of the year. Let the foot off the gas especially and yet still won comfortably. I have to mention something though and hopefully it’s taken the correct way. But Brandon Innis is not helping this offense right now. He’s not creating problems for the defense and he’s not taking pressure off 4 and 17. The lack of rotation continues to be maddening at the WR position. Clearly they know what they’re doing there but how is there no desire to see what Graham can do? If this offense can develop a third option at WR that’s when we become a different offense.

Feels like this was a game they knew they were gonna win easily regardless so they figured no need to stress or press too much. That's exactly what it looked like

I think our deep coverage leaves a hole in the coverage a lot. Safeties are back 20 yards and the LBs are about 8 yards in depth so there’s a ton of room between the two levels.
