Maryland at tOSU, Sat. 10/7, 12pm ET, FOX

[Herb Kirkstreit]

Know-it-all Joel Klatt stating Hall targeted with the crown of his helmet on a bologna roughing the passer penalty. Hall's helmet was straight up, literally what the sport is advocating for.

Hoping for a better 2nd half. D has to be gassed.

 

[BB73]

The defense has been solid after Md made a fine play on the short TD drive.

The pick-6 allowed the Buckeyes to be even at the half.

Time to wake up the offense.

Day needs to hire a proper OC to playcall

That will mean losing Hartline though. IF you give him the title, you can't take it away unless you're ready to lose him entirely.

Sad thing is it should still be 14-13 ish at half of McCord just let's it go instead of waiting forever on Marvs deep shot

I was happy he even completed that ball rather than air-mailing it 5 yards too far.

I love Day as an HC, but not a play caller. Urban is a legend and never called a play - and we had some pretty bad coordinators - but still dominated.

Would love to see Ryan give up the playcalls to Frye with Hartline in the booth.

This is news to me. Meyer always had his finger prints on the offense and calls especially in critical situations. And if you don't think Beck and Warriner were OC in name only between 15 and 16...not sure what to tell you.

And they rarely dominated in big games.

Or at least a stats nerd who has the say during playcalls to go coach you call that 85% of the time in this situation from this formation with 20% success call something else

He's not the playcaller now.
He can still be OC and learn playcalling from somebody in the booth.

We are fortunate that we are tied at half. The Offense was largely impotent in the first half. Thankfully the Silver Bullets and some terrible
clock management by the turtles have kept us in the game. Major adjustments need to take place on Offense in the 2nd half.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Ryan Day: I'm the biggest dipshit. Watch as my first scripted series starts with a fucking WR screen that the QB bounces to a WR that was already covered anyways.

Locksley: nuh uh.....I'M the biggest dipshit. I stop calling the plays that worked on my first 2 drives and let you back in the game.

Ryan Day: I'M the biggest dipshit. I finally pull my head out of my ass and call passing plays down field for a fucking change.....then immediately follow it up with an end around to the 5th fastest player on the field.

Locksley: oh yeah....watch this. I'm gonna march down field and not even get a FG off.






The fucking idiocy on display here is giving me a tumor.

Zero chance this happens though.

 

[Jake]

Day spent the first half with his eyes showing fear.

He looks like that most games. The one time he didn't was against Georgia because no one gave the Bucks a chance.

When he's favored he seems afraid to lose, and it comes through with the play calling.

 

[Telekinesis]

Alright guys, be respectful and don’t talk about who shouldn’t be the HC or starting QB here. That’s not cool. You can’t say McCord doesn’t belong in an Ohio State uniform, let alone starting at QB for THE Ohio State University. Not cool. If you’re frustrated, shouldn’t say you wish Urban was back and that Ryan Day was coaching at Youngstown State instead. That’s a hot take and also not cool at all. We can get our frustrations out in a civil manner, but claiming that Ryan Day’s play calling is worse than Bret Bielema’s is a super low blow… keep that to yourselves.

Thanks. Carry on.

I’d let him call plays and be the man talking when huddling on the sidelines..to me he deserves a shot to lead the offense.

 

[Wingate1217]

Well, roughing. But still BS.

I was referring to Klatt calling for it…..
