I’d give anything for a swensons where I live.

My view of the game. Defense is an unknown, they were generally unchallenged and if not for that int it’s a shut out. A few things to note is that we still couldn’t get after the QB, we aren’t playing Wilder still, but the LB rotation is getting figured out because I saw much more Pettijohn instead of Pierce. It seems that James is more willing to play the talent than Larry is. I’d like to see more of Perez at DT too but doubtful it’ll happen.

Offense where to begin. They quit playing about 4 drives into the game after getting up 3 scores. They scored touchdowns on 2 fourth down conversions, failed on two other fourth down conversions, played too many tight ends again, and could not break a run longer than 15 or so yards. You add that to some miscommunications throwing the ball and it was a less than inspiring game offensively.

As it stands I’m not going to expect fire works again in a TEMU (talent equated match up) until I see it happen. I don’t know if the offense has regressed but Julian just looks off.

To the point where I’m pretty sure if this continues he’ll be back next year.

I’m more confident in the defense by far than I am with the offense.

Isn’t Wilder nicked up per Coach?

Not having been able to see the game and reading through both threads it seems the team needs some time to jell. This makes sense given the nature of how many new faces we have. It may also be a new reality of the NIL era where your players don’t grow up in the system together and build that trust and confidence in the player next to them.

Nope we need utter perfection immediately upon stepping on the field. If you think otherwise, you're just a sunshine pumper per some fans.

----------------------------

I think this take is pretty much spot on. The typical whiners in the fanbase are whining their usual nonsense. The ignore button is going to get a workout this season I can already tell.

Shame on me, I left out the word “not”

Since the concern is valid, the "Eh. Whatever." is null.

Hopefully there will be improvement with him and fast improvement with the newer guys...and everything else.

I meant the eh whatever in terms of my concern for any hurt feelings

Sayin is facing adversity, that is what's required for growth.

Hopefully he does, so far he isn't where we need him to be.

Gotcha, hard sometimes to tell what a person means on forums.

Right. Has great stats, but stats lie and don't win natty's

On another note, IMHO, Arch Manning isn't that good. He didn't exactly kill it in either game, which makes the loss that much more concerning, for lack of a better word.

I think you can level the same criticism at each of them. They aren't as good as the hype (even though "the hype" is subjective).

As far as Sayin goes, the good news (at least as I look at things) is he is going to either learn or crater because every defense he sees from here out is going to attack his flaws to whatever their skill level and coaching chops allow.

True.

I love my Buckeyes, see them as a good team, but the criticism is only towards the fact they don't look championship good.

SNAP COUNTS:

Snap Counts: Brock Boyd Leads Wide Receivers in Playing Time, But Khary Wilder Plays Only 11 Snaps As Ohio State Plays Deep Into Bench vs. Kent State​


164063_h.jpg


Ohio State took advantage of another opportunity to play deep into its bench in its final non-conference game of the season against Kent State.

37 Buckeyes saw playing time on offense while another 37 played on defense as Ohio State routed the Golden Flashes, 59-3. The Buckeyes played down to at least the third row of the depth chart at every offensive and defensive position group, testing their depth in what will likely be one of their last opportunities this season to give their backups extended playing time.

Buckeyes who saw their roles increase against Kent State from previous weeks included freshman wideout Brock Boyd, who played the most snaps among all receivers against the Golden Flashes. On the offensive line, Gabe VanSickle made his first start of the season at right guard and played all 48 snaps with the first-team offense, while Jake Cook played the biggest role of his Buckeye career to date as he played the sixth offensive line spot in the Bison package.

Defensive players who saw expanded roles against Kent State included defensive ends Epi Sitanilei and Qua Russaw, defensive tackle Jason Moore and linebackers Riley Pettijohn and TJ Alford, who led or tied for the lead in snaps at their respective position groups. One player who surprisingly didn’t see a big increase in snaps, however, was highly touted freshman pass-rusher Khary Wilder, who continued to see little playing time outside of the third-down Rushmen package even with starting defensive end Zion Grady sidelined for the game due to injury.

Our full report on how many snaps each Buckeye played on offense or defense against Kent State is below. Snap counts are courtesy of Pro Football Focus’ premium statistics, though a couple of snap counts along the offensive line were corrected to account for discrepancies we noticed while rewatching the game. (Note: Special teams snap counts are not included as they had not been published by PFF as of Sunday night.)
