Ever notice how every fucking team gets out of the way when a punt lands? not us, we take it as a God damn beacon to run toward

 

[CookyPuss]

That punt "return"

PLEASE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. PLEASE GO UP TEMPO. PLEASE PASS THE BALL.

If Ohio state shows a certain look on a play they always do the exact same thing. The option is always the pitch. If Samuel goes in motion it's a swing pass. There is no progression to the plays. The same look has to have variable outcomes and it doesn't so the defense just plays option fucking one. It's maddening.

It looks like they're still running the shell of a spring practice playbook and haven't installed anything else since. Either they're not practicing anything else or are completely unconfident in themselves to run different plays. That, combined with a compressed field due to not being able to throw the ball over 15 yards and you have the 2003 offense.

Why did McLaurin jump on it lol

My guess was in case it touched one of our guys he wanted to make sure we had it?

 

[woofermazing]

We must have a tell on the speed option. This is the third week now we've seen safeties flying up to stop it before the ball is snapped.

This isn't a young team. This is a team without coaching

Why did McLaurin jump on it lol

I actually thought the ball hit someone so I'm glad he did lol.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Fuck this. That's all I'm saying before I end up giving myself a BP vacation.

No worries...I think you've earned a little slack here.

 

[Steve19]

Ohio State can still win. Anyone in the stadium that can get to the play calling booth?

 

[Onebuckfan]
