I think every Buckeye fan is in agreement on the defense.

Day deserves some flack for his offensive gameplan and play calling too. Seems like teams that force the Bucks to be patient with long drives cause Day problems. He is not a flawless caller - multiple head scratching plays this year.

And fix the f’n red zone offense.

But who is flawless? Especially with freshman at QB, RB and OC?

Fair. Looking around and watching a lot of CFB this year, no one comes to mind as flawless.

Day still has room to improve - luckily he’s young and I trust him to get better.

I think OSU is in an absolutely great spot for the future and we just need the right hire on defense and keep recruiting at the same level. Our HC is 42 and has 3 losses in 3 years and 1 loss in conference in 3 years. And we’re complaining! I get it, we lost to our hated rival, for the first time in 10 years! I still like the talent we have in Columbus over what they have in Ann Arbor. But I believe complacency set in with players and scUM wanted it more. Time for Day to start lighting fires under his staff and the players. And I’d still give that man an extension as well,because out of all the CFB coaches, I’d only want Saban over Day

tOSU offense reminds me of the Chiefs right now under Andy Reid. They love to live and die by throwing and forcing their game plan with excellent receivers. When teams take that away and give you the run they don’t want to take the longer drives chipping away for 4-5 yards a play they want home runs. Kansas City has improved the last few weeks with better defensive play and taking what’s being given to open up their game plan on offense. I think Day needs to take a lesson of humility and not be heart set on throwing the ball every game as much as he plans. However it also takes a competent defense to make this adjustment work. On a good side of the offense slowing down and having longer drives the defense is not going to be on the field as much which ‘could’ be beneficial. Maybe I’m off on this assessment from what I’ve seen but just my 2 cents.

No I agree with you... the knock on Ryan Day so far is in big games he tends to go pass happy wanting the kill shot.

His strength is his weakness in a way in that he's not patient to see the boring stuff through sometimes IMO.

It’s why they went with 4 OTs ..if you are a pass first offense then pass first. FGs worthless in 42 30 games.

I think that’s just this year! Days previous 2yrs saw very balanced offenses. Granted one year was JK Dobbins, but last year Trey Sermon didn’t get rolling until the B1G championship, but he shared the load with Teague. I think like many have said, starting 4 OTs was A bad idea for running the ball. And it was often given up too early in many games. I don’t think he tries to have a pass happy offense, but he played to this years strength, having a great QB and 3 outstanding WRs, and bookend OTs who up until the scUM game were some of the best in the nation

People say this, but we've seen the last 2 years that Day wants and needs to run the ball to dictate the game and set up shots downfield. Clemson last year was his ideal game. Hand the ball off to a RB with great vision 25-30 times and then take the top off the D.

OSU just doesn't have a great run game this year. It works against good not great defenses and they fall back to RPOs, bubble screens, and quick relief passes to make up for the weakness of the run blocking.

Now that they've established a precise passing game, we'll see how the O evolves next year. I doubt we see 40+ passes because the focus in the offseason is going to be using your star RB and cadre of talented backups to wear down teams. If they don't I'll be disappointed. No reason a guy like Henderson shouldn't be the engine for your offense.

I would love to see a few games of Stroud running a zone read. I don’t want him running 10-15 times a game but a handful of games 3-5 of those wouldn’t be a bad thing. I think we’ve seen a few times that if he keeps it he’s got an open field for an easy first down. Just need him to slide and protect himself. But yes Henderson easily needs to be getting 15-20 Carrie’s a game and hopefully Williams can come back healthy for most of if not all of next year and give us a good 2 deep to run weekly.

OL needs to be revamped. Need to start playing real OGs. I could see Jones, Wylper and Jackson in the interior next year. PJJ and Jones outside.
