Game Thread Gator Bowl: tOSU vs. Florida, Mon. Jan 2, 1 ET, ESPN2

[OhioBronco2]

Looks like another year of OSU can't beat the SEC.

Glad this game was irrelevant. Just bring on the Urban Era please. It isn't the score that is frustrating, it is all the mistakes. Talent is irrelvant when you make that many.

Yep, and apparently you missed the last 12 months when we forfeited the victory and had a host of other issues.

The win was vacated but I can still say I saw them beat an SEC team.

It still happened, Ohio State STILL won, the NCAA CLEARED THE FUCKING GUILTY PLAYERS to play in the game..... It's bullshit we even had to vacate that win.

Anyone who thinks that this team is going 12-0 next year is nuts. Next year's bowl ban won't mean much.

I agree, which is the one saving grace of the ban. Urban can put his program in place and focus on our "bowl" game at the end of the season versus TSUN.

Then in 2013, we get back in the national picture and hopefully fuck up some worlds.

This game has been symbolic of our entire season...

Woulda, coulda, shoulda....but didn't.

This game has been a symbol for this season... it represents exactly how bad our offense is.

When we actually get a conversion down the middle of the field, we straight up fumble the ball.

I think we may be overly optimistic on our offensive talent..

I think our coaches could be overly pessimistic about how much is there.

There's plenty of talent on the roster.

 

[buckeyebri]

The lack of discipline, pride, and leadership on this year's team are eerily reminiscent of a John Cooper team....

 

[buckeyes_rock]

I think we may be overly optimistic on our offensive talent..

I can't help but be very nervous about next year's offensive line. With the loss of Shugarts, Adams and Brewster...we need some highly rated guys to sign on the dotted line.

This x10000. The mistakes are absolutely infuriating. Blocked punt, lots of sacks, fumbles, special teams...

Maybe I have higher ethical standards than you. I suppose you are as equally forgiving of the Fab Five, right?

IMO, it boils down to this team lacking discipline and leadership. Hopefully Meyer will come in, establish a true leader on both sides of the ball, and we can quickly forget about this disaster of a season.

I'm hoping the defense can get a stop here and the offense can do something to make this interesting.

The Urban era begins in 15 minutes.

 

[Buckeyecty4]

This team has a lot of talent, and more on the way.

Does it? This team lacks play makers on the offensive side of the ball heading into next season, and defensively there is a weakness at LB and in the secondary. Not enough players at WR and in this defense have flashed enough to have me feeling another year in the system is going to result in a better outcome.

Who in the back seven of this defense has flashed enough to have you believe they are going to be good next year? I count Shazier and Roby and that's it.

 

[Drubuck]

Nice hit. We score here and we are still in it!!!! Lets go O
