Seriously we can't cover anybody.

 

[Mike80]

Honestly that might be too late. Texas improved very quickly after shedding Manny Diaz

unlike Mack Brown, UFM isn't having to let someone go because his career is on the line.

 

[Tanner]

Good God we are going to need to produce turnovers to stop Iowa

Can't fire Fickell now. Recruits and players love him. Urban doesn't know what to do.

 

[Woody1968]

No pressure + soft coverage = fail.

There was plenty of pressure on that play, but none of our DBs can cover anyone.

Indeed and it's like no one understands you can still run with recievers in zone. they all stand in a spot and then wait till the ball is thrown to make a move.

 

[Steve19]

Ohio State really needs to "man up". You don't do this in any game, but especially in the homecoming game.

The defensive coaching staff need to get into people's ears...

 

[buckeyebri]

I hate to jump on Fickle when things are going bad, but this is just a BAD defense.

Yeah Withers has no culpability in this....

 

[NFBuck]

Is it Fickell or is it Withers? Pretty sure Withers is responsible for the secondary and the "lets give them 10 yards" coverage. For some reason it's not working...

Fickell calls the plays. There's plenty of blame to be shared.

 

[Telekinesis]

Hey coaches, you up?

Speaking of Texas co-ordinators....Iowa's Greg Davis is the same imbecile who sucked so much ass at UT and is currently laying a Cleveland Steamer on the OSU defense.

After they lost games. I dont think anything will change as long as wins keep coming.

 

[ysubuck]

If the O poops on one of their possessions then that's it. This D is middle school bad from the coaching on down.

 

[Clarity]

Well, here's hoping the offense is willing and able to put up 42+ this game, because the D is lost. With the DL completely neutralized, the fact that we only have one solid LB and a squirrelly secondary is taking center stage.

WHO THE FUCK IS FICKLE?
