Game Thread Ohio State @ Penn State - 09/29/18, 7:30PM (ABC)

There's a reason going under center works well in short yardage situations. Fuck whatever your "offensive philosophy" is and put some under center plays into the damn playbook.

 

[OhioState001]

That’s completely out of line. DH has played well enough tonight to get a a W.

NO WAY

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Lol at the people who bitch about not going under center. Have you not watched this team since 2012? For better or worse, they operate out of the shotgun, period.

 

[Buckeye513]

This why you don't hand out Heismans and dub an offense the best in school history for beating the shit out of Oregon State.

 

[Buckeneye]

Whatever offensive philosophy you run, if it doesn't involve being able to go under center to sneak the ball 14 inches, then you should re-evaluate your philosophy as a coach.

 

[matt_thatsme]

Why wasn’t a timeout called? Unnecessarily rushed play at a crucial moment. Huge coaching blunder.

I’m afraid we’ve watched two different games. PSU has challenged him all game to make throws...hasn’t happened since the third drive.

 

[bukIpower]

He didn't in 2016.

4th and inches any doubt that we don't get that with JT? We couldnt throw for shit either way even with Haskins so may as well have just ran read option

 

[buckeyboy]

Wide
fucking
open

This game is slipping away. The offensive line SUCKED on that 4th and short. Every motherfucker was beaten. Well, we found out they aren't as good as they have been the first few games.

I counted two o lineman on their knees on that 4th and inches. Not going to get it done.

 

[OhioBronco2]

The lack of holding calls isn’t surprising, but continuously annoying.

 

[Nati-Toledo Bucks]

Guys are we sure Urban isnt calling the plays at this point??...WTF was that bullshit. No QB sneak... fuck this man. Everybody knew what the call was gonna be they sold out on it.

Why not read then throw it over the top or have a te rolling out and getting behind the defense. This game plan today has been ass. The players deserve better. They really do

 

[buckeyebri]

How the fuck do we not have QB sneak in our playbook? Did Urban get a lobotomy and forget how effective it was with Cardale? 1st down every time

He does have memory issues

 

[dragurd]

I have nothing against Dobbins...he is great
...but Weber is our bruiser. I hate how our RB play is scripted every other series. Use them situationally....it's so stupid.

Weber hasn't been running with power all year. I don't know if his ankle hasn't been right but Dobbins has been the bruiser this year

This is why 2014 was so special. Lightning struck.

This offense will not win close games against aggressive defenses in the B1G consistently.

 

[JCOSU86]

We run shotgun, I get it.

But have a short yardage offense that lines up under center. It's not rocket science.

Jesus fucking christ this. 4th and inches and they run and fucking offense that gives up 3 yards on the snap. Goddamned stupid.
