My kingdom for a reliable, average punt returner.

Leave it to ST to give USC a way back into this game. Recurring theme all year

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Why even go for it when ABSOLUTELY everything is going your way

 

[Telekinesis]

Yeah, that one hurts the soul a bit for this defense. Should be a huge shutout going to halftime.

 

[buckeyebri]

Watch an onside kick after they score....

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

up 24 with 2:30 to go and you get the ball to start the second half. there is one priority and only one priority: no turnovers. scoring is not the priority. field position is not the priority. how you don't impress that upon your returner is beyond me. that is a massive all-around failure. unacceptable and inexcusable.

 

[Drubuck]

Give and you shall receive. No more

Turnovers giveth, and they taketh away.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Gotta fucking make up for that. That's all you can do.

Critical fucking mistake at an awful time.

 

[jackson77]

we've got time to get the 7 back

 

[Bestbuck36]

Probably why McCall and someone else has also been fielding punts in this bowl prep.

Hell with it boys, go get another one and steal their joy!

 

[Jake]

Watch an onside kick after they score....

That would be incredibly stupid. I hope they try it.

 

[Honor&Glory]

Fucking maddening. Play dumb football win dumb prizes

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Fuck. Worst way to end what could have been a perfect first half. Hopefully, it will knock any sense of complacency and thinking they've already won the god damned thing already out of their heads.
