Sure wish they grabbed the Miami kicker out of the portal.

 

[Clarity]

Meh.

I agree; GPA.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

With the new playoff I don't much care

 

[Bucklion]

Fuck you Alex.

You got your ass beating coming in 2 weeks.

And fuck anyone else who puts it at Wills feet who didn’t turn the ball over, threw for 300, completed 70+ percent of his throws, and gave his team a shot.

You might want to simmer down there, sport

I like how Howard ran the clock out for Oregon

He had 6 seconds to perform a miracle and even then that would have been like a 50+ yard field goal. We were driving before that OPI.

That ending is purely on Day and company for terrible clock management. You can argue the D sucked and whatever but that ending was 100% on the offensive coaching for letting like 20-25 seconds slip by.

And the worst of it all... We kept that TO for absolutely nothing.

 

[BuckStocksHere]

Our fans are the absolute worst in football. Many of you need to get a grip.

Good news is this is not, at all, a harmful loss. By 1 on the road (and across the country) against #3? Meh.

Unfuck the gaping problems and plow forward. Beat the Weasels, win the Conference. Let the rest play out. Shruggles.

One loss does not end the season. There is still a possible rematch with Oregon in the B1G championship game and then a first round bye in the playoffs.

I took care of him.

 

[Gizmo]

Just win the next one.

 

[RuGettinIt]

My question has been answered – he can't.

Can’t put this game on Will in my opinion. He played well enough for the team to win. He didn’t turn the ball, over and made good decisions. Also was down his starting LT.

This game is on Knowles/Burke/and the defense. Lot’s of NIL money on that side of the ball and it shit the bed.

 

[osubartender23]

second string big 12 qb, big 12 DC who let up 40 per game, Pac12 OC who was 0-million against everyone.

What the fuck are we expecting? Fire Day. hire skinny Keith (the homeless guy on High st)

Here we go again with this bullshit. Loss wasn’t on the QB. He actually put the team into position to win. He didn’t cause the team to turn the ball over. Didn’t cause Burke to forget how to cover and tackle. Howard’s actually won some big games. Before making clueless observations, do research. Might be surprised at what at youcan find. Knowles did make Burke turn into the biggest liability that he’s been since he’s been here. Burke plays half as well as he’s been playing and bucks win. Blah blah blah fired Day. Love how the ass monkies come out when there a loss. We lost to the fucking #3 team, on the road, by 1. By god people are fucking jokes.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Another wasted season. If you can't win with this roster you're never winning. Defense shredded by the first competent offense they play.

Was 2014 wasted when VA Tech came into Columbus and rolled the Buckeyes? Was that season over when JT broke his leg in half?

Didn’t think so.

Doesn't matter. He didn't get a first down so clock still running and you can't really call a timeout within a second of a play ending.

 

[sg86]

To who? Devin fuckin Brown?

god dammit read the fucking game people.

The defense didn’t do Shit all game.

You want to call for Knowles job or Burke job? Ok but get the fuck off of Will

He's not the reason we lost this game but I think tonight just further showed that we're too talented of an offense to be saddled with such a weak arm at QB. His arm is fucking atrocious past 15 yards. Even those outs across the field on the last drive look like he's throwing a fucking balloon or something. They just hang in the air. He's a great dude, seems to be a good leader but his arm is just the drizzling shits. If the goal for the year is double digit wins, keep him in. If the goal is to win a National Championship, you aren't getting one with a guy who can't throw the ball deep.

 

[GuiFMRS]

This is just not a very disciplined team for being a bunch of vets…blown assignments, over-pursuit, and OL who can’t hold their water before the play starts. Can they fix that? We’ll see.

The OL play wasn't bad, the discipline there was terrible though, the problem is that again, in 2 or 3 years of Frye we see that very often. Perhaps Frye's seat needs get quite warmer as well. The most disappointing unit though ? It has to be the DLine especially the lack of pass rush by the DEs who was our last elite pass rusher ? Chase ?
