There's truth in a lot of things being said. The personnel doesn't completely match what they're looking to do in the running game, Stroud has looked off, but a lot of this can be traced back to injuries limiting what they can do while being the catalyst in a huge issue in all these close games.

OSU has consistently put itself in 3rd and longs while the other team stays on schedule and puts a lot more pressure on the defense. If I had to guess, OSU was far better on 1st down before the RB carousel started due to injury. I can't count how many times after the bye that OSU has struggled to get yards on first, found themselves in 3rd and 7+, and Stroud has tried to force the issue into coverage. Especially in the first half. It's unsustainable.

They need to stick with Hayden and gut out wins over TTUN and whoever in the CCG. They might not even have to gut them out if the offense can start attacking and hitting PA over the top. If they can do that and get into the CFP, Williams could be healthy and a lot of other good things can start happening.

Head Coach decisions in this game were mind boggling.
Should have gone twice on 4th. Kicking the FG.
I'm confounded.
Playcalling was terrible. No adjustments.
My confidence in the staff hasn't been this low in a long time (i missrd the Fickel year overseas, so farther back than that)
