Pretty sure this wasn't Clemson winning but more like OSU losing. There just wasn't anything there, except on defense (and punting) and that collapsed in the end.

I don't care if what has to happen, but for god sakes please make some changes to fix this.

I wish you all a happy NEW flipping YEAR and screw 2016.

Where are the Beck defenders tonight? The guys that say it isn't an offensive play calling issue, let alone offensive scheme and game plan. It isn't like this could not be seen from anyone with a pulse as a possibility.

I am concerned that some of the recruits are going to starting second guessing that if they are a receiver etc, maybe OSU isn't that great of a place for a guy that wants to catch 70 balls and break 1000 yards.

Are there any Beck defenders?

I'll say one thing...he can recruit Texas. That's all I have.

It has to be.

My fear is that Urban will look at this year as us overachieving and blame it on the youth of the team. I think/hope he's more pragmatic than that, though.

Nahhhh the offensive shit show is too big to ignore. The defense was just as young and they played their hearts out. Would have probably given up under 30 points if not for that JT interception. Kevin Wilson needs to be here tomorrow.

It seems like the 'no criticizing the staff' rule has been temporarily waived for this thread, so I'm on to 2017 and I have some thoughts.

We need to change this offensive coaching staff - plain and simple.
I don't care how well you recruit. If the only thing you can do is recruit, you don't deserve to more than a position coach at OSU. You definitely do not get to be in charge of the entire offense. Otherwise, you coast through the regular season against Indiana and Purdue and get waxed by the first team you play that is both talented and well-coached (aka Clemson).

1. Tim Beck - seriously, what was Urban thinking? Dude was fired from Nebraska for sheer incompetence. Taylor Martinez had to hire his own personal QB coach over the summer, which is why he was always great at the beginning of the season and regressed as the season went on. Did anyone like this move when it happened?

2. Warriner - great guy, amazing OL coach, but as I mentioned a long time ago in an earlier thread, why exactly did we move him from his natural position to something new (and which he's never had success at)? Why change a winning formula? Mind-blowing. Just why?

3. Zach Smith - the receivers have been simply awful and there has been almost no development over the past few years, with the sole exception being Michael Thomas. I'm not sure if it is talent, scheme or coaching but something has to change. Especially when we're trying to compete against teams like Alabama that line even their QC staff with former head coaches.

Alright. Apologies all, just had to get that off my chest.

Zach Smith has given us some solid ass performers - Evan Spencer, Curtis Samuel, Jalin Marshall, Mike Thomas, Devin Smith. Even Corey Smith, Dontre Wilson, and Gibson either contributed it were primed to (injuries/off field issues derailed them)...

Everyone else - fuck em
