Game Thread Ohio State @ Maryland - 11/17/18, 12:00PM (ABC)

Strange, because for a dead offense there are many teams around the country who call their bread and butter the IZ read just like we do/used to.

Advice, stop using so many generalities.

Advice - watch the game and tell me what's going on.

Most of those teams fit their schemes to their personnel. UFM has consistently refused to do so. We saw it in 2015 and we're seeing it again in 2018. It takes either a special athlete (Zeke) or a QB who fits the scheme (JT, Braxton) to make it go. If the QB runs die, there's nothing else that works. UFM needs to adjust his scheme or it is dead.

Undisciplined, soft and not playing intelligently is no way to win football game. That is a reflection of the coaching staff...

Haskins is now JT? WTF?

They are saving it for the 2nd half.

Looks like Meyer has now taken complete control of the offense. I agree Haskins needs to take advantage of yards on the ground when they are given but the kids weapon is his arm not his feet.

Saw him standing next to Meyer on the sideline in uniform.

I hate watching this team. It's a chore at this point.

What happened to the fake jet sweep hand it to the running back play? That gets a few yards every time. Yet, on the last drive we run up the gut 2 plays in a row. Gotta keep the defense honest. They knew exactly what was coming.

Michael Jordan is clearly out of position. He’s getting beat pretty consistently in the middle. He just doesn’t have enough bend to play center.

I’m at a loss as to why Wyatt Davis wasn’t transitioned to center (much lower center of gravity) and keep Jordan at guard where he doesn’t have to worry about snapping ball and then getting leverage on the defender in front of him. His snaps continue to be less than desirable too.

Since you're making the suggestion - what "adjustment" would you recommend...?

Sounds about right. Seems like we were better week 1.

How in the fuck did this team win 9 games? They are a goddamned disaster in every facet. Offense, defense, special teams, coaching. Mothergoddamnedfucker
