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

[NFBuck]

Ain't over yet, but must answer here...

 

[BB73]

Jesus fucking christ. Why the fuck did we never call a TO to take a breather?

I think you need one also.

 

[buckeyemania11]

looks like another 3 and out coming here

 

[bucksfan79]

Gonna have to trust TP if we want to win.

Yep. Either trust TP to throw it, or bring TB in to do it.

 

[OHSportsFan]

We are out of shape.

This is bad.

 

[OCBucksFan]

Here's hoping our 4th quarter play is better than our 3rd.

 

[buckeyebri]

And now the oline is just going to play let them go through.....geez o pete wake the fuck up....

 

[osugrad21]

Some of you need to step away from the computer if this is too much. Otherwise, we'll see you in two weeks...

 

[Jake]

Can only expect the defense to do so much with so little offensive production.

3 points vs USC

6 points vs PSU

6 so far tonight

It's just not enough. :(

 

[BrutusMaximus]

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

As it has been a problem for like what, 2 years? Dont see this changing any time soon.

 

[JCOSU86]

Game turned on that penalty by Rose.

The offense has to find a way to put together a drive and stick it in the endzone.

Or we may be looking at another big game blow out, Texas is going to bring it to hope for an AP MNC

 

[TJnTN]

Can we put our Offense on Defense?? At least they have fresh legs.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Third quarter: 8 plays, 2 yards....

 

[OHSportsFan]

I just hate how the Buckeyes look so good for a while...then it goes downhill.

And I can guarantee it's in the player's heads again.

I just don't know what to think. The game was right there for us. We were rolling. Good playcalling. Decent execution. Then BAM! It's their game.

3rd and long as we start the quarter. I'm nervous. Texas is looking for blood. Pryor doesn't want to throw.

 

[billmac91]

turning point of the game was our first third quarter drive.

Have no idea what the hell that was??? I guess you can point to Dane dropping the 5 yard gain, but there is no reason not to give Terrelle play action or a rollout on second down.

It's just so frustrating.
