B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

[scarletngray]

We lost this game because of poor red zone production. Which included terrible play calling and just as terrible execution. Worst offensive performance I've seen in quite awhile. In the end though, it will make us better, just like our late season loss last year.

On to the playoffs...

Congrats to the Hoosiers. Just a little bit better today. A really evenly matched game and they definitely deserved to win.

So many small plays that could have been the difference. If Sayin doesn’t underthrow Smith on the deep ball and they get 7. If the sneak is successful. If Fielding makes the FG. If Matthew’s can break up that TD pass. I said it already, but the margin in a game like this is razor thing and comes down to a single play and Indiana made that extra play tonight.

You remember going into the season how uncertain we were about how good this team would be after replacing all that talent all over the field? If I’d told you then they’d go undefeated until the B1G championship game where they’d lose by 3 to an undefeated team, I think everyone here would have been happy.

It’s a disappointing loss. It sucks. But god damn. Get some fucking perspective before you trash any coaches or players. That’s far more embarrassing than anything I saw in the field tonight,

Well put. I would never doubt where Hartline's heart and intentions are after all we been through. He's frankly a bad play caller in the RZ but even a lot of the bad play calling can't excuse the bad execution.

Give them some credit for forcing us to be in those positions.

We have 2 or 3 weeks to come out with a game plan that will reveal just how good we are.

Seriously, Day, recruit a competent fucking kicker. Spend the money. I know you think you’re an offensive genius and plan to score touchdowns so you don’t need to kick field goals. The evidence says otherwise. The first phone call Jim Tressel made when he got the job was to Mike Nugent. Tressel had as many national championships as you have and way more wins against Michigan and conference championships. More conference championships than Urban. Please pull your head out of your ass and pay some attention to the kicking game. Elite coaches do that.

How many games do you have to lose because your kicker sucks does it take before address the problem? That’s not the only problem you suffered in this game but it was pretty big fucking problem and it’s been a weakness for years.

You realize he’s one of the most accurate kickers right in OSU history?

He’s missed important field goals.

He’s not in the fucking position if it wasn’t for the offensive play calls.

Stop blaming the kicker.

Because if he makes it? IU kicks a game winning field goal.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Please just let it go. Some of us aren’t taking the loss well.

Yeah well I got banned for less

 

[BuckStocksHere]

I’m embarassed at Buckeye nation once again. God dang we have some of the most awful, entitled fans in the world. What “they” all say - is often true. DO BETTER. Get a damn grip.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Wow, I challenge you here with respect, and you call on others to warn me and some Bukipower nonsense?

LOL!!!!!!!!! Go ahead, if you're that little, BAN ME.

we lost.

It’s done.

I hope tomorrow when you sober up you apologize

Your not all wrong, and I have respect for you, but the guy missed a 27yd field goal dude. Hes gonna get some blame. Also I would have loved to put it on this defense to get us the ball back or hold it up for OT. All day every day

 

[dragurd]

hard to complain what Day has done at OSU

Inability to adapt is an issue though. The team fought their ass off and played well enough to win.

If these 2 teams play again, I 100% have Kienholz playing a major role when they need a yard or 2 for a first down

Eh he's adapted his whole damn career other than the kicker. He went from high flying big play offense to efficiency monster this year. He's went through 4 separate defenses.

Adaption is not his problem. And even if you say he plays tight sure but he went for it 4th the 1st time when everyone wanted and kicked it during the end of the game where he would have been ripped again if they went and didn't get it.

Sayin just took too long to get his sealegs back when they punched back.

And also we didn't appear to have any 15-20 yard plays that last drive.

If we lost playing our best would be more worrisome. This will reveal the character of this team. Last years team responded masterfully.

I’ll allow it lol…

Such a good fucking burn!

With how nice I’ve been all year I would’ve hoped for some support here

 

[RuGettinIt]

Losing to Indiana... JFC

Hey it was going to happen at some point right. And this ain’t the IU of the past. these guys are legit.

 

[Buckeyebred97]

I feel like in a strange way that this is where Day wants it. Make the dudes angry and hungry.

Don't give shit away. Still get the bye.

IU can't beat OSU 2x.

I think so too, Bo starts breaking off runs in the 4th and then they put West in? Make it make sense outside of just keeping guys healthy and doing something intentional.

 

[Dee-Liem]

If we find out Matt Patricia already took an NFL DC job for next season, I wouldn't be shocked.

That was my vote for buckIpower :-)

Ryan Day turned A corner when the team wanted to fight him after The Game last year. He didn't turn THE corner.
