A win is a win. I kinda wish they hadn’t turtled, but oh well.

Sorry ass SEC officials that is for damn sure. White didn't PI on either BS call. Don't understand why we decided the game was over with a quarter and a half to play for some reason from the Offensive coaches.

Seriously tho... where is Arnette??

He played on multiple defensive series. I think the defensive coaching staff finally came to their senses and put Wade in the Nickel on passing downs. Arnette primarily came on running downs.

So, little postmortem on, probably, the most frustrating season of my Buckeye fandom...

13-1
Clobbered scUM dashing their playoff hopes.
Won the B1G
Won the Rose Bowl
Had a first year starter at QB re-write the school and conference record books and be a Heisman Finalist

If i would have offered you that in July, would you have taken it?

Now, imagine all of the drama from August. Our HOF head coach suspended the first three games. Questions about him stepping down dogging the team all season. What if I would have told you in late August this team would accomplish the stuff at the top of this post? Would you believe me?

This was an, at times, incredibly trying season. There are serious flaws that need to be fixed. But, with that said, for a team with all of the shit they had to endure to end up with that resume is quite remarkable, and a testament to the strength of the program Urban is handing to Ryan Day.

Thank you, Urban.

Onward and upward...

Been since the 90’s that I was ready for the off season. 13 and 1 can we build on it or overreact to our problems.?

They took their foot off the gas a bit too early, but I'm not sweating it. Good game. Good season.

Is Day the man for this job? Stay tuned ..

I'm a bit concerned after the shitshow in the second half.

I don't know why some of you even bother watching sports. JFC

Ok, Carmen Ohio just got me...seeing Shelley and Urban for the last time.

Damn

 

[ScriptOhio]

Keep in mind that in a few years from now you probably won't remember the 4th quarter of the game; you'll just remember that Ohio State won 2019 Rose Bowl game (and beat Michigan during the season...).

BACK TO THE BEACH, BITCHES

Not that surprised that the old defense showed up. But that playcalling on the last couple drives was boneheaded. Not sure if they were trying to run Haskins stats up or what.

Exactly. Had UW off-balanced all game long due to the pressure the D was dialing up, and outside of maybe three plays in the fourth quarter, just dropped back into coverage and hoped for the best. Fuck that shit.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Just read the last bunch of pages to see how BP handled the game.

You guys are fucking dumb. Just whiny, bitchy, panicky, and dumb. Stop it.

I think he'll be fine. But there's no doubt that was Franklin-esque time management and piss poor adjustment to no even get more than 40 yards after the early 3Q drive.

RIP Tyler Trent, you are an inspiration to us all.
