Nobody consistently underperforms in relation to their talent level like Ohio State, it's incredibly frustrating.

Do we have line backers?

Haven't had them in 5 years.

No Silver Bullet this week

Shooting blanks

Seriously…send all 11 here. Either blow something up or give up the score. Otherwise you have to burn 2 TOs and watch them score anyway.

No the only thing to do is let the score a TD. They can run out the clock and win with a FG. We have TO but we need them for offense.

 

[visaliabuck]

I’d all be for letting them score but that means the offense has to go down and score a TD….thats questionable at this point.

 

[Nati-Toledo Bucks]

Turn the fuck around and look for the ball

Knowles just isn’t a big 10 defensive coordinator. Finesse doesn’t work in games like this..why can’t our DL get any pressure. Why can’t our DBs cover knowing they have safety help if we actually give them help

 

[Captain Buckeye]

I’m so disappointed in the defense.

They’ve done literally nothing all day.

We can’t cover, we can’t get home with 4, and we can’t create any turnovers.

 

[Onebuckfan]

We have plow horses lol

 

[HenryMuto]

Have to go all out pressure but can't get another defensive penalty either it's pressure and you force a stop or they get a TD we need the time and the timeouts so go all out and try and pressure them.

DO NOT GET ANOTHER PI we can't withstand that they can just run it and we lose all our timeouts.

Right that’s what I think too.

Have to stand here to force 3

 

[Hetuck]

Jim Knowles is the problem, scheme is terrible. No pressure, getting picked apart. Refuse to blitz, linebackers out of position, cornerbacks getting torched on an island.

Yep. Not bringing pressure and giving up big plays.

 

[mikester06]

can we please agree that Jim Knowles is fucking awful at calling defensive schemes? hes been exposed for 2 years now and has shown that the big 12 isnt the big 10. big10 teams dont score 70 per game to cover your ass

With 2 exceptions, it's been that way pretty much as long as I can remember.

We have 3 TOs…they can’t run it out inside the 10.

 

[DaiMonMoore]

Cannot commit any penalties that lead to automatic first downs. That would be the worst.
