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

Yeah OU dropping 31 isn't the best scenario but it's hardly meltdown territory with how good OU's offense is. The OSU offense getting shut down however is meltdown territory.

In my mind it was 50 but they gave us a gift in 1st half.

 

[Jake]

Fuck it, win the B1G. Goals are still in reach.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

JFC....has OU been called for a single hold tonight?

 

[OhioState001]

Just. Beat. Michigan.

and Ped State

But we really have to look at some coaching decisions, and it starts with Urban.

In 2015 we had by far the most talented team in football and we underachieved and the offense looked like [Mark May] for most of the season. Beck is gone and the problems are still here.

This this this this this this this. How can you have the best offensive and defensive players in CFB and squeak by the way we did time after time? What is broken?

 

[TooTall]

Our FG didn't choke on a 37 yarder and our punter kicked the ball WAY more times. So we've got that going for us.....which is nice.

That is nice.

No offensive scheme will work when your QB / WRs are physically incapable of completing a pass past the first down marker. How we have failed to develop a QB and WRs capable of doing this incredibly simple task over the past 4 years is beyond me

Nerwen Aldarion @VOLNATION -- you're salty about what we say about you when you're lurking on our site? Really?

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Best DL in football is underwhelming and the offense is dogshit. What's new? Offense has been struggling for 3 years now.

 

[NFBuck]

Mayfield struggled against us last year, lighting us up tonight.

Clearly, JT Barrett's fault.

God, Jake, we get it. I'm certainly not putting this all on JT. The pass defense stunk, too. But here's the thing, we have a totally overhauled secondary, and Baker Mayfield is one of the best players in the country. It's not unreasonable to expect our pass defense to struggle given those facts. On the other hand, nobody considers OU to be an elite defense. JT has been TERRIBLE tonight. And in a number of other games. This ain't a one-off. Yes, there are WR issues, yes the right side of the OL isn't good. But the things he CAN control, like hitting open receivers, the timing on his releases, he's failed miserably.

Obviously we're not gonna change each others minds here. I've been in the same boat your are right now with JT for two years, I WANTED him to prove everybody wrong, but I can't do it anymore after tonight. I look at JT and I see a broken qb who is in his fifth year. There's no fixing that, and if that's the case, you have two other, much younger, qbs who were well regarded recruits and got great reviews this spring/summer. Stop clinging to 2014 and start looking to the future.

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

Didn't we pass on sermon due to potential career limiting injuries?

 

[OhioState001]

Can we just end the game so Kirk can stop sucking OU's dick?

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

alright!

won by 21 last year. lose by 15 this year.

we win the overall!!!

 

[Dryden]

Fuck it, win the B1G. Goals are still in reach.

Hahaha. That's funny.

What have you seen in seven of the last eight quarters that suggests this team can win the B1G? Right now it'd be a miracle to finish 3rd in the East.

 

[buckeyebri]

You know we were poised to take control of the game up 3 mid 3rd qtr and we gogg thd ball back after a stop. The O turtled on the next series and it has sucked from there....
