Tough win.

Whew. On to the next one, I'm expecting the guys to come out on fire at night in the Shoe. Go Bucks!

Hopes for the season are still alive. Obviously, there needs to be significant improvement to keep it that way, but I'll take the W.

 

[Mike80]

The complete inability to just line up and blow the DL off the ball is the most disturbing thing about this offense.

The Nebby game is going to be a dogfight and the scUM game may be fugly unless they get significantly better over the next 4 weeks.

The pass protection was noticeably better today. The Run blocking left a lot to be desired at times but they won.

 

[MD Buckeye]

Shhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww. Just win baby.

 

[scarletmike]

Got the win, but I still don't feel good about the final stretch of the schedule.

 

[Steve19]

Well, a win is a win. I'm afraid that I don't expect the Buckeyes to come out and light any fires next week. There is so much work to do and they look to be so very broken.

 

[NFBuck]

That, ladies and germs, is a pyrrhic victory.

Not sure I feel very good about next week. Hopefully some things get fixed this week and a whole different team shows up next week.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

We don't deserve to be top 10 right now. We're not winning in the trenches. Only 2 on O are playing well. And half the defense has regressed. Special teams is not OSU tier

I'm not. I thought the offense would come out and play angry but we struggled for 3/4ths of the day. I've lost all faith in the offensive staff.

 

[LostLassie]

We shouldn't be more than 6 point favorites against anyone from here on out.

Remember all those early season conversations we had about how team A or team B weren't as good as they thought they were?

Apparently, we were this:

 

[CookyPuss]

Oh, what the hell, one more for the good guys...

 

[kinch]

Got the win, but I still don't feel good about the final stretch of the schedule.

When compare our stretch left to Michigan's and Penn States it's a crazy difference in how much harder ours is.

tim beck and ed warinner... how much experience do they have as actual offensive coordinators? not asking because i think they are bad, but with what i saw all last season and so far what i have seen this season. just makes me curious how much actually being the offensive coordinator experience they actually have at this point in their careers. does anyone happen to know?
