CFP Title Game, Alabama vs tOSU, Jan 11, 8:15 ET on ESPN, Miami

[OhioState002]

Hot take: for all the bitching about the defensive coaching staff, the offense was the biggest issue that half

The offense wasn't great but the defense was only slightly better than air because of the fumble play so... no

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Feel terrible for Wyatt and Trey

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

Alabama should have taken the penalty and threw a hail mary probably 20% chance they score.

If it is near #6 then more like 97%.

 

[JohnnyCockfight]

I am sick watching Wyatt Davis get helped to the locker room for halftime.

Biggest? You mean letting Alabama accumulate 35 points and almost 400 yards of offense isn't the biggest issue this half?

Short of Bama pulling a Steelers and the offense finding...something that actually works, there's just no coming back from this deficit against this team from what I saw that half.

I feel like I got punched in the mouth, from 21-21 to 35-17 in almost no time. I keep the faith but what a fucking uphill battle.

 

[Merih]

only thing I can think is just go man and bet that Mac won’t find 3rd option against our very young guys

mainly just want the buckeyes to fight back. don’t turn over guys finish the season strong

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

All y’all’s souls better be cleansed as hell, because this is a straight-up ass-kicking.

Offense has excuses. Fields cracked rib/bruised kidney and our the stud RB we've centered the offense around going out on the first play with a fractured collarbone. Defense has no excuses for giving up 389.

Sure hope we live up to this meme

Hot take: for all the bitching about the defensive coaching staff, the offense was the biggest issue that half

No. Defense is absolutely the biggest issue. Offense just needs to execute. Fields looked bad last 3 posessions

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

I didn’t like that shuffle to the locker room. Hope these guys can get fired up at the half!!

 

[GreenwoodBuck]

I realize Surtain is the best corner in the country, but where the hell is Olave? Is he being completely shut down?

 

[JohnnyCockfight]

It would be one thing if we were healthy coming in to the 2nd half, but damn if we aren't down some GREAT players.
