2025 Cotton Bowl BMW Thread: tOSU vs FairWeatherConvicts Led by this Generation's Chuck Amato

I'm ok if Fielding never kicks a ball again for Ohio State.

Fuck it, get the kid from Granville that was hitting 70 fucking yard kicks off of the goddamn concession stand at Watkins this past fall, get him in uniform and let HIM kick.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

He needs to tighten the coverage… other than that I disagree.

Other than that? That's my whole point. It's like 06 Florida with a mediocre QB picking us apart on soft coverage

Why is this defense looking like the 85 Bears? They are outhitting the Buckeyes substantially. For their sanity send the weak and young to bed. You’re going to need a strong stomach to watch this to the end.

 

[Mike80]

Despite having the ball for nearly 9 minutes more, Cryami only has 10 more yards on offense.

Ohio State MUST score on this first drive.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Showed some life before the half but almost sure it won’t be enough.

QB is regressing badly/getting exposed.

We have no kicker.

Something is just off.

The running element from the QB and the defense having to account for that part of the game is a HUGE issue right now.

Cryami basically has an extra defense in coverage or on a blitz because of it.

One thing that was great about Will Howard. He may have been a little underwhelming to us in the run game, but you absolutely had to account for him, at the very least. Missing that and his general experience more than I thought we ever would.

I totally agree with you but he’s adjusted hence the not 2006 score lol.

We still have a shot but I don’t have any hope. To win we need to forget field goals, we need to throw the ball, and we need to run hurry up.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

The game has been so ugly thus far that I’m wondering if returning the entire OL next year is good or bad?

I've been wondering, did we really pony up for a guy like Onianwa, who can't even start for this group? Yikes

Other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?

The back breaker was the pick 6…. If we just didn’t hurt ourselves this is anyone’s game.

Despite a thorough ass beating we are still within range which is wild. For their sake it reminds me of 2019 Clemson where Clemson had no business being in the game. All it’ll take is one score and it’s game on.

Can we get it though? I’m not sure

 

[ScriptOhio]

Just sayin':
1. The defense just gave up 7 points.
2. We were moving the ball on the last drive just before the end of the half. We just ran out of time and the kicker missed a FG. However, we definitely need to score on our opening possession in the 3rd.
3. Maybe Ohio State needs to look to the transfer portal for some offensive linemen for next year.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

We also moved the ball before we threw a back breaking pick.

Right now we need to calm down and just play to our strengths

 

[Bestbuck36]

Klare could have a big half of the line just holds up. Middle is always open
