We beat OU last year with JT at QB.

Different defense. Different wide receivers. Different OC. Same QB.

Blame the QB. It's the easiest thing, so it has to be right. :roll1:

I thought blaming the OC was the easiest thing??? 8D

I love JT, but he STUNK tonight. I'm not sure how anybody can say he doesn't have significant flaws with a straight face.

Look, I've been one of the biggest Barrett supporters on this site, but how many open receivers has he missed tonight? How many times has he held on to the ball too long? He's not alone, but he is a huge liability right now. We can argue chicken or the egg with JT vs. the WRs, but he has made some egregious errors tonight, and they're things he's had issues with often in the past. He's in his fifth year, he's past the "getting better" phase. He is what he is.

this is correct, and expecting otherwise is wishful thinking. but bashing the kid and calling for a backup is fucking ridiculous. he's not a 4000 yd QB and never has been. he should probably be more developed than he looks, i admit, but the problem tonight (and last week) is obviously the defensive 2nd level and the secondary. we can move the ball with tempo just fine, and JT is perfectly serviceable in a run-first offense, but asking and expecting him to be able to run a 2-minute every possession, then calling for a fucking backup when he faces a competent defense, is absurd. the problem is the defense has major leaks. the offense is not as explosive as we'd all like, but it's fine. the defense is the problem now.

We have double the normal people monitoring this thread right now.

The shadenfreudists love Buckeye sads. Which is cool, part of college ball, part of being a constant power.

To the Sooner lurkers, sincere congrats. Hallmark win, and you better hope we grow from this so it stays one. Baker is a grown ass man, and you're a solid #2.

To the B1G lurkers -- yeah you like your chances now. Just like you were starving for reasons to like your chances in past years when we clownstomped you. This isn't good news for any of you.

To randos -- wipe your screens off when you're done, ffs.
