Oh look the new coached chased points so they are down 2 scores

Eh I'm fine with Julian he just needs to get ahold of Indiana's vr system and drill himself against pass rushes and exoctic d's all summer

Any QB woulda had a tough night last night behind our OL with how they played

 

[Gizmo]

I just remembered that YouTube exists, so I'm done with this one.

Must be nice to have a fumble not bounce directly back to the guy who fumbled

55 and 56 with ease lol. Meanwhile Fielding is liable to shank a 27 yarder.

He shanked a 27 yarder in the B1Gcg.

I’d rather have a player with Chambliss production btw over Julian’s lack of running.

Chambliss’ mobility and threat to run really is an asset

Most of the Tressel era, people were bemoaning the lack of a pocket passer. Now it’s the opposite. If you have a running QB, you’ll have to deal with him getting beat up. Meanwhile, people want to bubble wrap every important player for 3/4th of the season.

Julian needs to take some easy yardage, but the bigger issue was him missing wide open guys down the field and holding onto the ball. Focus on a RT, get him more experience handling pressure and coverages, and you won’t need to worry about whether he’s scrambling for 23 yards or not.

The issue is how well prepared he and the offense is coming into tough matchups. They adapted really well in the 2nd half’s of both games, but in one they come up empty on 2 possessions, and the other they dug a hole in a game where the opponent’s pass rush was the strength.

Them having a QB and RB with more than 1 year of experience, (hopefully) a better OL, and a tougher schedule to grow from will provide a much stronger foundation for a run next year. It brings more risks, but it’s clear not being challenged all season didn’t do them any favors.

Funny, the launch on Harrison Jr was a lot worse than that one

 

[buckeyemania11]

Ole Miss with peak stupidity just handing UGA this game. We beat Ole Miss or Bama but out ourselves in the position we were in

 

[Tanner]

I wonder what it's like to make a big special teams play in a big game

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Chambliss is making some incredible plays

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Stockton putting on a show with 11/20 and 139 passing yards and 11 rushes for 25 yards

Sorry shit sec announcers. That’s really not what I call putting on a show.
