WHAT A STUPID PENALTY!!!! WTF????????? HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CLOSE NO NEED TO DO THAT...... :( Wish I could have at least seen us try to tie it up.... regretting getting that link earlier this one was hard to watch...

NOOOOO!!! That is a cheap penalty. He let go right away! The guys was already going down!

There was no twisting. That should NOT be a PF. WOuld have been a five yarder, but they threw that one out. GOD DAMNIT!

The five-yarder doesn't exist anymore. Every facemask is a PF. The refs picked a shitty time to finally get one right.

Hats off to Purdue. They played their asses off today. Last I checked Michigan still sucks.

The Ohio State offense needs to play the entire game with the urgency that was displayed on the last two drives. We kept hearing nasty in the spring and it's damned skippy time that we get to see it.

Disappointing but I like how the Bucks fought back.

we shouldnt have been in the position to "fight back". We suppose to be a top ten team. I dont want to hear how "young" TP is. He's been our qb since what? USC last year? Our defense finally broke under the pressure of saving our butts for the last couple games. Hats off to them. Someone needs to lose their job. TP, OC I dont know but this was fracking Purdue.

Disgusting performance today. I can't say much more without offending everyone.

Is it NBA season yet?

 

[Drubuck]

Ouch. Oh well. Outplayed and Outcoached.

BTN announcers said Purdue won the game - OSU didn't lose it. I disagee.

Purdue played a good game plan and played hard, but OSU's ineffectiveness of a basic offensive attack lost this game.

 

[JimsSweaterVest]

Can we please get an offense now?

 

[buckeyboy]

The D was on the field forever. There is no doubt this was going to happen this year if the Offense does not show up in a given game.

 

[matcar]

Ouch

Probably a long night on this board....good luck mods.

I'm glad the coaches have more faith in TP than you. Bauserman is sacked 15 times that game. Pryor played us back into that game, too.

I'm not sure I want to know what would've happened if we had a non-mobile QB back there. The alternative is not always better.

I find that question offensive.

Look, we have a young team. They struggled. It's understandable and we'll be much better in the future. But there was no excuse for an experienced staff kicking a field goal, down by 16, with 13 and change to play, on 4th and goal from the two. Either you play to win, or you lose. And we lost today. We didn't lose because of that call, but the staff didn't give the team a chance to win because of that call. We'd all be making fun of Charlie Weis or RichRod or any number of other coaches for making that call, and our guy did it today. It made no sense. We give up the ball there, we're still down by 2 possessions and Purdue is in the unenviable position of starting a possession at the 1 or 2 yard line. If we get the TD, it's a whole new game. If we don't, we're in no worse a position. Easy call. A great staff didn't prepare a team and made poor calls today.
