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

[Jake]

I've never been so happy to be tied at halftime. Could be, probably should be, down by double digits.

Still time to get things right.

 

[Clarity]

Me before the game hoping OSU gets off to a better start: "I reallly hope this game doesn't go like the last game."

Me after watching the first half: "I really hope this game goes like the last game."

Maybe Kevin Wilson approaches first halves like a velociraptor, "testing the fences for weaknesses systematically."

That's what I'm banking my emotional well being upon.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Meyer was pissed. Me thinks the halftime talk isn't going to be a simple rah-rah pep talk...

What's a "TE"?

I don't know but it sounds like black magic to me.

 

[TooTall]

We have a elite OC so it's not the play calling... we need a QB to make the tough passes and we need WRs to catch the damn ball. Right now we are seriously void of both

This. JT Barrett seems too afraid to make the difficult throws. I like that he's been turnover free, but it's coming at a severe cost. Need to air it out, and hope the receivers can get up and make a play.

Unacceptable.

Been drinking since I woke. Poor liquid management. I'll make weekly adjustments.

 

[Drubuck]

Just switched from tequila to bourbon. Didn't want too but bourbon leads to victory.

 

[Hetuck]

Serious question: how do you [Mark May] can your entire offensive staff, hire a new offensive staff, and fail the same way the old staff failed? More systemic than personnel?

The WR coach hasn't changed.

We had another dropped TD in the end zone. Receivers really hurt us in the first half. Running with JT and Webber were our most successful plays. Give our D credit. They got the turnovers when we needed them. Thankfully we get the ball in the second half.

Let's do this BUCKS!!

JT looks broken no matter who coaches him. Sad to see his struggles when we know what he's capable of

Everyone keeps bashing JT but I don't see anything promising from our receivers. Maybe it not just JT. It seems to me we focused so much on making our receivers good blockers that we forgot their main function it to get separation and catch the damn ball.

What's a "TE"?

Basically an offensive tackle who doesn't need to report in as being an eligible receiver.

This. JT Barrett seems too afraid to make the difficult throws. I like that he's been turnover free, but it's coming at a severe cost. Need to air it out, and hope the receivers can get up and make a play.

But he has to see something that doesn't give him confidence in their ability to do so...like a dropped TD pass we saw in the 2nd QTR....

 

[Jaxbuck]

WR's don't get open much, when they do Barrett misses them because the timing is all fucked up.

The combined net result of the passing attack is early 2004 level bad right now. It's virtually non existent.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Can we just hire Stanford's OC and just run a system that works all the time instead of one that works when everything clicks just right? Maybe?

At this point it's urban or JT. Urban needs to get outta the way or he needs to bench JT
