Game Thread Nebraska at tOSU, Sat. Oct. 26, 12pm ET, FOX

[AKAK]

Move Fryar to Left Tackle and Montgomery to Right Tackle or just Monty to LT. I dont want the total disruption of the middle that happens if Jackson goes outside. Keep the middle intact and find someone who can block on the edge.

You have to think it will be discussed

We’re TE’s over on the left to help I assume?

We have TE's?

What a game.

First off I owe another apology. Without going into too much after the Oregon game I’ve now been sober for 2 weeks.

Oddly enough not drinking during games heavily allows me to stay calm and think rationally. I know at this point my apologies are an annual tradition but once again I’m sorry. It should stick this time considering I’ve given up the booze completely.

On to the game.

1. Obvious struggles with the OL- I think we need to put Jackson out there. Zen was just overpowered all game. I really wish we had been a bit more aggressive in the portal to give ourselves some options. Smith from Indiana for example would be nice right about now.

2. Was anyone else hearing a whistle when Nebraska was on offense? I swear I heard it consistently. Sounded like the play was being blown dead but then nothing.

3. Defense- I loved the way we played today. Saw tons of different fronts and brought lots of pressure. The secondary really needs to work on not taking penalties and we’ll have to learn to spy the QB more but otherwise the offense put our defenses feet to the fire all day.

4. Offense- just do what works. I know they’re trying to get the run game figured out but it was clear that wasn’t happening today. At some point you just have to do whatever scores.

5. Special teams- can we make any kind of explosive play? Man it’d be nice to get a spark with a return touchdown or something at some point or have good field position at a minimum. Of course the other teams kicker has a career day lol.

I swear quarterbacks and kickers of other teams always come through in Ohio Stadium.

But hey it could be far worse. We likely should’ve lost that game so at least we are still alive!

"Any given Sunday". Take the W and get ready for the next one. I wouldn't be surprised if we win by 35 or are in another tight one. There's a good team, injuries are a factor now, just keep fighting and getting the Ws.

Hey stop that! There’s no room for rational people posting in this thread!

If you can’t run the ball, you can’t sustain drives or create any momentum on offense. I don’t know how you fix this OL, clearly they didn’t try very hard in the bye week.

None of the rest of this shit matters - THIS is what matters. Good luck on your journey.

yeah, it's amazing how many people that don't realize the only important stat at the end of the game is the numbers on the scoreboard.

I never want us to lose, however, I cannot understand how anyone who watched this awful performance against such an inferior opponent could not think we have a serious problem on our hands.

 

[Clarity]

Well kiss my dick that's two plays in a row

Fuck me, I'll take it

Well fuck me twice and call me lulu, they put it away in the end

Butthole unclenched.

I’ll just call you lulu.

Lulu.

At your age…definitely safest

Pedsters are going to shower rape us next week.

D was great.

Congrats, refs. You just cost the conference how many millions by bumping us out of the playoffs.

With a heavy assist from Day, Kelly and Frye ....

Absolutely!!

This times infinity! Proud of my Buckeye brother!

 

[Gothmog8]

Cap shows up.

Also, this was the worst showing of OSU in a bunch

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Sometimes it feels good to just enjoy a win when it felt like the program was going to implode.

No idea what happens moving forward. Not a good feeling with key OL injuries that hamstring the entire offense. I like how fired up the defense got at the end. They need more of that.

Honestly thought after the JJ TD that they'd go up 21-3 at half and be on their way to a nice win. After the FG miss it felt like a flip switched and they lost all momentumm Didn't move the ball again until the 4th.

If we can find a solution at LT we will be fine. But that's a big IF.
