Don't think he's the one who has been whiffing tackles all game long.

His scheme has been well not good

 

[Mike80]

The defense is on pace to give up 550+ yards

Boise held these fucks to 360.

It’s 3rd and 2 there so I’m not sure why we aren’t pressing the run

They did. But they did it without discipline to take the QB as well. Easy pull and score.

Knowles is probably as exasperated as we are at this point.

The linebackers are biting on EVERY fake. The secondary has their eyes in the backfield too.

You can't coach discipline. You either have it or you don't.

You can't? Seems like a a pretty big part of coaching to me.

 

[AKAK]

Doesn't seem so.

Styles isn't ready, Simon isn't getting there and there's clearly no other option behind them.

They're Running themselves out of the plays

Ohio State needs to start looking South for DE. There’s a ton of 3/4 stars down where I’m at that play faster than either of the 2 on this team.

 

[Herb Kirkstreit]

The defense has been given 3 short fields. The Judkins fumble, the onside kick recovery (starting 15 yards closer due to the 15-yard penalty), and the last possession due to the dropped snap and inability to flip the field on the punt. This is not all on the defense.

 

[OHSportsFan]

On the road. They want to win too.

Need to score here.

Right. This is just how big time college football is now. Answer back.

 

[Mike80]

still his defense getting embarrassed.

yeah and it's Day's team. Fuck it, while we're at it, it's Admiral whatshisnuts University.

But let's be serious - you can have the best coordinator in the world but if the players don't make plays it doesn't matter.

He's not whiffing on everything.

 

[Bucklion]

Odd time for a full house backfield play

 

[Drubuck]

Endzone.

What the hell

 

[Onebuckfan]

Woody said wtf.

 

[Mike80]

You can't. You can tell them their keys and you can teach them what the other teams' tendencies are, it's on the players to have the discipline to trust it and stick to it.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

Why is our O not going for and making big plays?

 

[youra6]

Huge conversion
