Texas played a fine game.

BUT ... we have superior personnel, and no one will persuade me otherwise. When will we have a competent offensive coordinator? This game was lost because we couldn't get our D off the field in the third quarter.

Fooey.

 

[billmac91]

you'd never believe it, but Colt thew for 414 yards going 41-58.

Unreal.

He's a great QB. tOSU played great, but missed one tackle. And honestly, even he makes tha ttackle, Colt probably finds a way to win that game anyways.

A lot to be proud of from this game. They played hard.

Season as a whole was beyond frustrating and disappointing. Hoefully the seniors have laid a path of how to be successful, but the underclassmen take this team to higher heights.

Hopefully JT realizes this team needs a lift in the offesnive department. We played great tonight, and left a crazy amount of points on the table.

After Mack Brown announces "Friday morning I'm going to vote Texas #1 because I think this is the best team in the country," Colt McCoy's mom throws up her hook 'em while shouting "You tell em! You tell em!" At least it meant another shot of Colt's gf/sister/both.

 

[NFBuck]

McCoy and Shipley are fags. Fuck Texas,

Grow up.

Why the fuck sit in a zone for the whole last drive if your not going to keep someone deep to prevent the big play????? I dont fucking get it, I cant stand watching the defense.

Yeah, they were awful tonight.

I urge some of you to walk away from the keyboard lest you further embarrass yourselves.

our oline can't block. our defense line is too slow. tell me, what the heck in God forsaken logic is NOT to let go Bollman and Heacock. they can be position coaches but NOT coordinators.

i can't fathom any other possible way to go about it this off season. 3 years in a roll? Coach Tress, you HAVE to go throw some growing pain in order to grow into a powerhouse! Come on, Coach Tress, you HAVE been loyal to a fault. PLEASE make some changes as it is really really needed!

:osu2:

osu.edu ROCKS!!!!

I was pissed after the "helmet to shoulder" roughing the passer.
Then, McCoy prances into the end zone. I kicked my couch so hard it broke.

the wife's gonna be pissed.

 

[Buckeyefrankmp]

why were the linebackers blitzing on last Texas TD?

thats all on the coaching staff............

The blitzing was working all game.

 

[buckeyebri]

So, to the victors go the spoils as they say....but I think that OSU had much more deserving players to be defensive player of the game over Miller...

Sorry Mack, Sorry Colt....you did not convince me that you deserve to be No. 1 after this game......and I doubt you convinced many others....

 

[t_BuckeyeScott]

Guys can't leave yards on the field. Forget the second half this game was lost in the first half when guys were running out of bounds with plenty yards to get. The difference in this game ended up being inches. You can't just fight for those inches on 4th down in the 4th quarter. You've got to get those every chance you got. The team did show heart. Great entertaining game.

 

[sigshoota]

I honestly can't believe we just lost that fucking game......... I'm speechless right now :(


what the fuck happened to Beanie the second half?

 

[dav713]

Well... nothing to be ashamed of. Took a team that had a rightful case to be in the MNC game to the last 16 seconds.

There is no shame in a loss like that. Congrats Buckeyes for a great season. I'll be waiting anxiously for the next chapter of this wonderful story. NLOID and then spring ball...

Proud to be a Buckeye!

big guy. Tough loss, ton of what ifs that I don't want to think about right now. This team was some BCS number crunching away from title game, and we took them to the wire. Thanks to all the Seniors, you played your hearts out tonight and all had a great collective career. Congrats.

 

[Rookie]

Wow. Great game. I have a lot of things to say, none of them I can say here.

I wanted to congratulate the senior class. They are in a class of their own. I will miss them.

Eddie is right, it wasn't clearly across the line though.

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

I would be ok with not playing UT ever again.

See the post directly above yours. I fully agree an offensive staff shakeup is overdue, but now's not the time. These kids just played their heart out and I honestly cannot fathom what your beef with Heacock is after tonight. The defense played brilliantly.
