Game Thread Minnesota @ Ohio State - 10/13/18, 12:00PM (FS1)

I know we are all just arm chair QBs here...but two weeks in a row we can't run block and yet the coaches keep wasting downs on run plays. It's like a throw away down every time we try to run. Want to win? Then let Haskins sling the rock. It's our only hope right now.

Is Hill wearing a hoodie?

It's the winter shirt with a head cover that he keeps down.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Cute shit again costing a drive. Absolute bullshit.

It’s not cute shit when you can’t run it normally. It’s an attempt to get something working.

 

[NFBuck]

We aren't competing for a B1G title. Purdue would probably destroy this defense.

It's sacrilegious, but I'm not all that confident against scUM playing like we have. There's still six weeks to fix it, but if they can't figure a way to get Dobbins/Weber effective, we're a Haskins off day from getting boat raced by anybody.

 

[TooTall]

Brohm is a helluva coach....if he exchanges his Buick for a Ferrari, watch out.

But can he row a boat!?

 

[buckeyebri]

Score...commercials...kickoff....more commercials....yay

 

[Buckeye doc]

Can’t run so having to settle for field goals in the red zone.

Plus, you have to think MSU stops sucking and plays good for one game....with our luck, it'll be us....again. But somehow we'll win, I hope.

I thought it was to start a 4th and a millimeter play eleventy-billion yards behind the line of scrimmage?

Quit exaggerating. You are 2 billion percent wrong.

 

[Drubuck]

What else do you want them to do? I don't trust this line to get 3 yards right now.

What works. That has never worked and only has killed drives. Can't run, quick slants have been working all day.

Unfortunately. I think you need to just drop the idea of forcing the run every 2 plays and move to pass first and build the run calls off of that. Eventually you'll be able to get closer to balance, it just won't be the way we're used to.

If we can't figure out how to get a running game going we're going nowhere this season. Can't just stop trying to do it.

Why it's so bad is the upsetting part.

 

[Ryan36_1]

We are now in ugly win area rather than unexplainable loss category. We have not played this bad outside of this game. Finish strong and fix the problems. One more game until the bye week.

 

[bigdog3300]

He tunes up a goddam Boiler, way more manly.

Right now, if I had to guess, we probably lose to Sparty then destroy Maryland and beat SCUM similar to last year. For whatever reason Urban's teams have played tight when undefeated ever since he's gotten here. Only starts to wake up when we lose.
