Game Thread Ohio State vs Oklahoma, 09/09/17 @ 7:30 ET (ABC)

Texas, USC, VT, OU...seeing a trend here?

Never have big OOC night games at Ohio Stadium again right?

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Why the FUCK do we play on offense like a bunch of scared little girls? God fucking dammit I'm tired of this [Mark May]. Do we need Tom Herman or Ezekiel Elliot to run a basic CFB fucking offense? Seriously? Fuck this offensive play calling. We've got a kid who finished in the Heisman voting as a god damn RS freshman and we're afraid to let the offense try to fucking score fucking points. Fuck this [Mark May]. God dammit.

This was all typed before the that INT. Fuck this offense. This is a god damn joke. All the talent we have on O and this is the result? Fuck this.

 

[NFBuck]

Welp, I'm done with Barrett. He is hard broken. Burrows or Haskins, plz.

 

[scarletmike]

Holy shit, fuck it. JT is never going to do what he did in 2014 again. Hasn't shown it the past 2 seasons, and hasn't really showed anything different through 2 games this year.

Yea and we beat all those teams other than USC on the road

 

[lvbuckeye]

This program has completely lost its identity.

 

[melecoaze]

Joe Burrow's broken hand is huge.

Not like our track record with 3rd stringers is bad

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

He's just so inaccurate it's stunning

 

[Jake]

Time to move on at QB

To what?

This QB won at Oklahoma last year with Tim Beck.

 

[buckeyboy]

Team is going to learn what its like to get its ass kicked....

I thought they learned that this past January.

 

[Clarity]

I feel at peace about this already. Oklahoma is a legit contender -- we are not. I'd rather drop and play for the B1G, see how the team progresses and the young'uns grow; who knows how the season might play out. But this isn't a title team now, clearly, and it's hard to see a path to it becoming one.

So being that's the hand we're holding, I'm good with not expecting this crew to be better than they actually are. Won't play the tired "all the talent lost to the NFL" hand, we're better than that. We just don't have it. Meyer needs to figure out who has fire and who doesn't. We're in team building mode as if it's the pre-season.

 

[CFPBuckeye]

May I suggest starting the fire on the OU bench? Maybe level the playing field a bit?

They're already on fire.

 

[BuckeyeMafia]

Best QB in the nation vs 2nd best qb in the B1G...maybe.

Lamar Jackson is much better than Mayfield.

 

[kujirakira]

As a play caller

Besides last year we had 2 returning starters. And even at worst our LBs were solid

I think Ash had a lot more to do with play calling when he was here.
Fickell is a great coach but it was Ash who setup the cover 4 and got that scheme rolling here.
His kids leave for the NFL and we're back to soft coverage never looking for the ball, playing catchup, and confused coverages.

 

[Bucklion]

Game over. Win the B1G.

Yep, that can still be done with significant improvement. OOC games mean shit now, go for the conference
