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

IMO, Carnell Tate = Jeremiah Smith at this point.

Lots to work on with this team, i.e. o-line.

Then this: Was Matt Patricia only beating weak teams up to this point?

Or, is he still learning cfb opps and improving?

Want the story of the game?

We gave up 29 yards in sacks.

Other than turnovers we did the one thing we couldn’t do.

We couldn’t protect Julian.

Don’t blame the kicker, don’t blame the play calling… the blame goes to the OL.

Couldn’t protect 10, couldn’t get how many short yard situations?

My critique with the play calling is we constantly set ourselves up for 3rd and long.

If it’s 2nd and 10 don’t fucking run the ball.

Also Julian was seeing ghosts till the 4th but he got right. So I'm not as worried as I would be if he never adjusted

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

It's fine in my younger years I would have done it too hell even last year maybe. But I made a mistake and might have damaged my health long term recently. So suddenly I'm way more chill and don't let things get to me as much as they used too. Cause my body doesn't need that shit plus the perspective tends to come around when you do that.

My health isn't involved in any of this, so it isn't in jeopardy.

I really don't think Day trusts Hartline like he trusts Chip Kelly to call plays.

He held them to 13 pts and 340 yards. It's not like he got lit up Jim Knoles style vs TSUN the first 2 years or Georgia

Lots of questions heading into the playoffs for sure.

Lol not what I was trying to say. I was trying to say it's changed my perspective on things and calmed me down. Aka I would have acted just like you did in the past

I mean I just dont understand why we cant get 1 yard when we need it and we have a kicker who shits the bed repeatedly

Plus, just looking at QB, I don't think OSU faces as good of a QB as Mendoza with any other team.

Skill position though on others are better (like WR), but not QB.

Jeremiah is light years more physical. Tate is going to be awesome in the NFL though.

O-line got better once Van Sickle got in there. It also got better when the plays were called to their strengths.

I don't get what you're saying about hte defense - Indiana had literally its worst offensive performance of the year tonight. The defense wasn't the problem.

We don't run plays on third down to set up fourth down (if needing to go for it).

Then again, we have run blocking problems.

Honestly I'm not sure there are many better skill positions wise either. Georgia RBs but not we. Oregon maybe but they also lost to team. A&M is boon or bust. Ole miss maybe. Maybe only ND has more skill wise which is wild to say

He didn’t in atlanta

 

[dragurd]

I hear you bro!

In fact I did probably get in a few fights with Jax over Ryan Day after the TSUN game till last year.

But anywho IU showed up bod God can we not let Mendoza talk anymore lol
