So, I probably missed some chunks of this thread and I didn't watch any of the post game pressers...

(And I'm not singling you 2 out here, I just quoted these for context of the point/question I want to make/raise)

You have Teague out early after two carries... Miyan Williams gets one carry (some kind of sweep left as I remember) and that's it. Chambers was on the Covid list and Crowley hasn't played as far as I can remember...

Sermon gets 29 carries, which is more that double his usual workload.. has anyone brought up the idea that there was kind of a pitch count here and Day didn't want to get into 40 carry territory?

You might be onto something there. I also think there was a large dose of the coaching staff not taking what the defense was allowing. Looking back, the early running plays seemed to be very successful. I still think the coaching staff stuck to their script longer than they should have. Thankfully they made the right adjustments at halftime. And, I'm probably wrong about all of this.

Yeah, I mean, it makes sense to me that, if Teague goes out, and you only really trust one other guy to carry the ball, you're probably going to resist changing the plan to running the ball for 400 yards (when you probably figured you were gonna get 250 with the two of them)

And of course, when I was a younger fan, there were no Buckeye sites to post on, there was no Internet. So my craziness wasn’t immediately witnessed by an online group of followers. And recording my thoughts took longer, so I had time to think twice before being done - it took quite some time to chisel “Run the damn ball!” on a stone tablet.

No idea... but what this tells me is I'd rather have 1 RB instead of a platoon.

He got in for just 1 play in the game and apparently that was it.

SNAP COUNTS: TREY SERMON, JULIAN FLEMING, JOSH PROCTOR PLAY EXPANDED ROLES AS 54 BUCKEYES SEE ACTION IN BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

DEFENSIVE ENDS
Jonathon Cooper: 57
Tyreke Smith: 50
Zach Harrison: 36
Noah Potter: 3
Cormontae Hamilton: 1

Potter and Hamilton both saw their only playing time of the game in the second quarter. Potter checked in for Ohio State’s first three defensive plays of the second quarter, while Hamilton came in for one third-down play, recording a tackle for loss on his only play in the game.

Bahahaha... I thought it was the young Hamilton at DT.

Weird though. Cormontae gets in for 1 play and that's the photo in the article lol.

When I was younger (OK much younger), I was a lot more pissed off when things didn’t go well for the Buckeyes. Over time, I’ve managed to enjoy the good moments and the victories just as much as always, but I’ve managed to not be so angry when the Buckeyes are struggling, or heaven forbid, end games with an ‘L’. I wish I had the wisdom to explain how I managed to do this, but I think I just realized I needed to not get so pissed off, life’s too short. Now I’m far from perfect, my wife still normally leaves the house during Buckeye games to not witness my reactions!

And of course, when I was a younger fan, there were no Buckeye sites to post on, there was no Internet. So my craziness wasn’t immediately witnessed by an online group of followers.

The bold is my answer. I don't watch Ohio State football to have a bad time. It's not that I don't care if they win or lose. Its that I do care about my blood pressure and controlling that which is in my control to control. I cant control if the Buckeyes play well or win. I can control my reactions though.

You're right... going into the season I made it a goal to not do what I did on Saturday. Instead I had too many drinks and for some reason expected perfection. Which is silly considering it's been such an imperfect season. There probably wasnt a bigger ass hole than me on Saturday and unfortunately I have one a year like that which isn't an excuse.

You're right though. We were close to not even having a season so the fact we got in 6 games, won the big ten and get a shot at Clemson should be celebrated.

As always personally I know I cringed the next day knowing how I acted. Especially checking in here the next day too.

We are very spoiled as a fan base. 4 straight big ten titles shouldn't be taken for granted.

So your posting in the CCG thread wasn't championship level. That's Ok, we all have less than perfect outings. The good news is there's opportunity to improve. With hard work and determination, you can get better each and every day and come January 1st, in the Sugar Bowl thread you can post the kind of championship caliber comments we all know you're capable of!

Go Bucks!

Haha actually my game plan for Clemson was to just not post during the game.

I know how I was last year for Clemson and this year I know I'm going to be pretty fired up.

However I'll review the tape in the off season, get a game plan together and come back stronger in 2021 lol..
