Didn't solve one God damn thing on offense... We see Haskins for one fucking drive with a few minutes in the game and he goes a perfect 4 of 4 and is throwing absolute ROPES with confidence.

JK again goes under utilized and JT has MINIMAL throws past 5 yards that do much harm. I mean I don't fault Kevin because he called a game that tried to get JT some confidence but everytime they tried to open up a bit JT couldn't deliver.

After watching Borland play I think he should be our MLB and Worely should move back to OLB.

Nah fuck that... We couldn't get our back up QB in the game because of whatever reason and we NEEDED to find out what he had. Yet we end the drive with a knee instead of seeing of he could throw a dime for a td. We already had the game won so why not give Haskins a clear look... instead we fucking lost a chance to evaluate a player who IMO looked better on his three throws then JT did all game

Once #8 went down for Army their defense wasn't really the same. Two guys came in fresh. Not saying DH didn't throw the ball well. He clearly has an arm.

and if I heard BQ right, Army was already down their 2 starting corners

Love the academy guys but their 2nd and 3rd stringers aren't legit P5 type athletes

What I think I saw:
  • still don't have a down field passing threat and it's mostly the inability of the QB to throw it that far accurately and on time
  • OSU can out-athlete teams like Army within the self inflicted 10 yard box around the LOS, we knew that coming in
  • WR's can't block with out holding and still struggle to get seperation
  • KO's and coverage leave a lot to be desired
Tuf Borland, JK Dobbins and Haskins make you remember the future is bright(ish). The struggles of guys who looked like future all americans a few years back dampen the enthusiasm (at least for me).

Separation didn't seem to be an issue for Haskins throwing to Walk on receivers

Sorry Weber, I feel for you, but JK Dobbins is the man. We all better appreciate it while it last because he is the kind of talent that won't be around 4 years at OSU he'll be playing on Sundays I have to imagine. Obviously it's only been 3 games, but he has looked fantastic in all 3 without a QB who can really spell the run game with a passing attack that keeps a D honest.

Didn't do a damned thing to improve... threw a crap load of passes Into the flats, for the most part have Dobbins too few of carries and didn't give Haskins a damn chance. Accomplished nothing and yet we will talk about making progress.

Don't like it then ignore me but I'm through blasting cup cakes by jus purely being better then someone. I dont fault Kevin because he tried to start slow and give JT confidence and the second he tried to open it up we have to punt because JT can't connect.

It's black and white to me now... We don't have a chance and sorry if that makes you guys uncomfortable after a victory but we didn't do anything I was hoping we would do

Exactly our back up was throwing to Walk ons but he had no problem throwing a 10 yard seam route on the numbers.

I've seen one drive and I'm convinced.

I saw enough that told me I want to see more. I remember Burrow looking good last year as well. Hopefully we can get up on UNLV earlier and see more backups in action for a longer period. I wan to see some of the other OL, LBs and safeties...

I want to see JT go down field on stride with the receiver more and nog curls all the time.

Kind of a moot point when we take a knee when we get there with Haskins.

It's a matter of priorities. You don't go full Mayfield and show up an academy team imo. That is most important.

The fact they haven't found more time for him at this point in his career is another matter

(Insert excuses ad-nauseum)

I love the kid too and he will go down in history with all his records, but anyone thinking he tosses a better ball than Haskins has to open their eyes. We have a stud on the sideline who would be starting pretty much anywhere else in the nation. Just don’t ask me to believe there’s a WR problem. Clearly, that is not the case based on the chemistry I’m seeing from both Haskins and Joe.

Not a knock on anyone, I’m just anxious to watch the best QB we’ve had in a long time.

I agree but then you get him into the game a drive earlier... we played ARMY and couldn't get our back ups into the game until 6 minutes left in the game and until we were up 31
