Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

[Macedonia Mafia]

Another second half breakdown by the Buckeyes. :(

Penalties are killing us.

This can get ugly if our Offense can't move the ball.

Here's hoping....

:osu:

 

[Pryor2Posey]

can we try a hurry up offense instead of run, run, run, punt? it sure as hell won't hurt.

 

[OHSportsFan]

I'm thinking we need a TD on this next drive. Not sure we can get it done...but I'm gonna keep the faith.

 

[sandgk]

that's the ball game right there.

Not as if there isn't a quarter left.

:osu:

 

[Mike80]

Ballgame.

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

The announcers are missing everything.

They have called this game so badly it's unbelievable.

But the biggest thing they've missed is what really happened here.




AFTER THE GIFT DRIVE - THE BUCKEYES FELL APART COMPLETELY on both sides of the ball.

After that drive I posted that I hoped the Buckeyes were as mad as I was.

But the fact is they play as badly when angry as I used to.

Why not use a timeout during that series...that just about puts the game out of reach with the way the O is playing...no use saving them....

 

[BrAss Man]

Let's just save our time outs for next season.

 

[billmac91]

why not use a TO???

Texas has made adjsutments. Chipping DE's with the RB. Leaving the RBB in t block. Using more play-action.

Credit to them. Not sure why we can;t adjust with them.

 

[exhawg]

We need a drive. How gutless would it be to fake injuries to get time to sub tired players?

 

[Mike80]

Texas o is putting on a clinic. I hope its not about to get ugly.

Ballgame :(

 

[Basebuck]

Falling behind by two scores has absolutely nothing to do with the players. We are getting 100% out coached in this one

 

[OHSportsFan]

Pryor is looking like a freshman.

Doesn't want to throw.

 

[Steve19]

This game is now in the hands of the offense. If they don't want to win it badly enough, then the game is lost. We need to score on this drive and we need to keep their offense off the field.

Our success in the first half derived from controlling the ball. Our O line needs to put their hands up right now.
