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

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.

I don't agree with all of that. The thing is concerns were exposed and brought to the forefront. And rightfully so, and both them, and you, are over-reacting.

 

[Bill Smith]

I'd be curious to know if Day decided to take more of lead in play calling since Hartline is leaving.

That's a problem is so, and the only solution is to tell Hartline go ahead and head South.

They should have won this game.....brutal play calls in the red zone on 2 drives.

The team played like Champions

 

[Captain Buckeye]

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

Oh I get it… a chip shot and wow.

But we kicked that field goal because we missed the first down the last time.

We bitched out.

We tried to play TOP and we bitched our.

More than anything it seemed like we thought we could trot out the same general gameplay we've employed all year. Indiana is a different monster frankly. The efficiency battle bit is in the ass.

That and they were simply taking it to us most of the game. Better team won today. Plenty of time to get better though.

 

[Dee-Liem]

This game kinda reminded me of Dwayne Haskins against Purdue when we were throwing it inside the 5.

Kinda got cute when we could score ugly.

 

[System_id]

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

Why? Defense played their hearts out against a top 5 O. Possibly wouldn’t even have a TD without that TO.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

That was my vote for buckIpower :-)

I’ve had some drinks but frankly I think this game will help us.

Tough shit guys.

We all know we are running the table right?

 

[Hetuck]

Holy shit, Virginia about to tie it up and force OT. On ABC.

20 all with :22 left.

 

[Bill Smith]

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.

That offensive unit put on a clinic that last drive after struggling most of the night.

Brutal play call on 3rd down. 2 blown drives in the red due to the play calling.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Please lay off the D 13 points ..Holding the TO to 3. Were they dynamic after half No. But our RZ woes might discourage even the best.

Ya people need to leave the defense alone. Thats the Heisman winner held to 13 points.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

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

We won 16 straight.

We certainly turned a corner

 

[Jagdaddy]

My thought is that this team still wins the natty. It took a lot of coaching fuckery to lose tonight, even with the OL and QB struggling mightily for most of three quarters, and I don’t expect that to happen again. Sometimes a gambler beats the house, but the house usually wins in the end … and I still think that we’re the house.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

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.

And even when he hasn’t been great, overall they have been very successful. Not always pretty but very effective,

BP, overall, is still one of the most chilled out sectors of the entire internet. I’m pretty proud, honestly.

Regroup, move on… playoffs are in front of us yet again. Tough loss, guys never gave up on anything. Fought hard.
