Even Micah Parsons lit JT up tonight... said he would start Haskins if he could. I can tell Micah isn't happy about our boys performance.

Of course UFM says no thoughts of a QB change lol...

You go back to this past years spring game with Haskins and Burrows getting the ball downfield but yet JT didn't even attempt it. Only one QB threw a pick and it was JT in the spring game.

We also should've taken from the spring game that torching our dbacks isnt really all that hard to do.

11W is lighting the coaches up for this loss. Rightfully so.

I don't think JT is the answer but he's who we have and he won't be replaced anytime soon. I think the struggles on offense is actually large part due to how the scheme is ran.

We have been literally running the same plays for the past 6 years now. Teams just have so much film on our system and have so many good game plans that have worked over the past few years to choose from.

We need to expand ourselves and need to revamp the whole system. We don't need to throw it all out that's not what I'm saying but we do need to be more variable with more formations, better constraints, and play designs that help us address our current short comings.

If I'm Meyer I go to Kevin Wilson and say... I don't care what it takes or what you want to install to our offense just get us going. I hate that we say "you have to do what we run" when we bring guys in. They're handcuffing Kevin by doing these things.

Onto the game...

1. Our LBs over pursuit so bad that it's bring exploited in large chunks right now. Very disappointed in their performance this year. Very little anything from this group.

2. Our DBs are just not good. Like at all. I don't mind Ward but he's not a #1 guy to me due to his size. Fuller is perhaps the slowest safety I've seen in a good while at OSU, Arnette hasn't improved at all either and Webb Is just... lmao I won't even with him.

Only person to play a decent game i thought was Sheffield. Good to see him play tough.

3. I'm convinced our offensive line could have controlled this game. Run after run up the middle were there all night but once again we ruin it with this passing stuff. Kevin has good feel for the game but JT is a drive killer with his arm. If I'm Kevin I don't let JT stall anymore drives and I run the brakes off JK and Mike.

I don't care if we have to go to a 80/20 run pass ratio. You do what moves the ball and you stay away from what's killing drives which is JT throwing the football.

4. OU won the battle against our extremely talented front. Hats off to them.

5. JT... I love the kid. He's a great person but he's not our answer. I am not going to complain about him being a starter because really it does no good. UFM will never abandon that kid and for that it will probably mean another Saturday in December when we watch someone represent the east division in the title game.

All these great recruits and accolades but we are probably looking at 1 league title in 6 years... I may catch flack for this grim outlook but I feel I'm just being realistic given the short comings this team has.

Nah...I'm not going to give you flak. I came in to comment and you already nailed it. The level of performance is not matching the level of recruiting and talent. I can go back and look over whatever film is available. I can determine maybe it's not this one guy's fault, but some other guy's.

Sorry, it just doesn't matter. We have a ton of talent, the most we've ever brought in, and things aren't getting done. Fix that or quite frankly, I don't give a damn.

If we don't get light years better on offense, we'll never break through.
