The thing that really blows my mind is that there are things that JT is very good at. And we haven't done those things in two years.

Best game of his career. All the other games happened too.

Nah 2014 MSU

Kicking a FG? Seriously

Forget tempo slow it down run the ball get two TE in No it won't be pretty and trendy but it might win some games .,,

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.

Have you even paid attention to JT against an average D? Passing is pretty much the same. So yeah keep up the thinking that it's not JT.

So JT can't keep up with the defense... so it sounds like we should change either JT or the defense. 1 of those 2 is a lot easier than the other

How about eithe day or Wilson get their asses down on the field

 

[Mike80]

Well at least he made the FG....I guess......

 

[Systems_id]

Fuck it, win the B1G.

I honestly don't think that's going to happen although OU is probably going to be the best offense we face all year. I have no faith in the offense right now though. I appreciate last year's defense so much more now.

 

[Arch2H]

A FG is for losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gawd Urb?

 

[Hetuck]

Barrett has regressed every year. You have to try Burrow and/or Haskins at this point. I love JT but at this point, our offense is pretty 1 dimensional with him at QB.

Burrow broke his throwing hand.

They weren't going to pick up the 4th and Urban knows it lol

 

[Clarity]

Thank him for his service and ask him to help groom the kids. JT is a great kid, and he may have a future in coaching. Let it start now.

Good feels for this; but we all know it won't happen.

Kicking a FG? Seriously

makes sense. it's 2 scores whether a field goal or a touchdown. of course, it's 3 scores without either.
