What was said to Henderson?
Anyone know?
So outta character..... These guys are such dicks

 

[Captain Buckeye]

This is bull shit. 3 straight drives KILLED by 10+ yard penalties.

This is absolutely outrageous.

 

[Crump's brother]

I think we will have to see Smith in the slot and in motion if they want to get him the ball.

 

[Mike80]

I said it in week 1.

Ohio State needs to be efficient on offense. Big shots are great but efficiency is the name of the game.

The penalties have disrupted that. Halftime adjustments yes, but just a mental reset to settle in and go.

Defense needs to keep bringing it. Expect a deep shot here.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Where did the crossing routes go? Am I missing them?

 

[cmstophe]

We are not taking any shots. Totally different offense from last two games.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

What happened to this offense?

Texas is palying back and forcing them to be patient, but it’s hard to do without a good running game. Hoping for Judkins to get more carries and Henderson to get a get the sweeps and edge plays. Have to force them out of the deep shell.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Get a 3 and out here and points before the half

 

[Captain Buckeye]

That was a weak holding call. He essentially took the defender where he wanted to go

Totally agreed. He turned inside and Fryer took him that way.

Bull fucking shit calls all around

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Is the middle of the field not open anymore for Tate or emeka?

Felt like those were very high risk throws and they aren’t running them anymore.

 

[Gizmo]

They're stopping the shots, and this dink game only works if you're not playing from 2nd and 20

 

[buckeyemania11]

We are not taking any shots. Totally different offense from last two games.

You want them to take shots into double coverage? Texas is playing to take away the deep shots.

 

[uvsw77]

Texas D is legit. We need to adjust and cut out the penalties.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I think we will have to see Smith in the slot and in motion if they want to get him the ball.

Yep. "Get him the ball" doesn't mean telegraph a shitty pass behind the LOS. Even then he gets like 4 yards when it should be -4.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

We NEED a turnover. Offense can’t get out of their way right now. Let’s do it, D!!

Absolutely. Defense is freaking due….

Get the ball back to the offense so we can end this damn game
