I guess I need to learn to just be more grateful as an OSU fan.
We have been gifted more points and wins since the beginning of internet messages boards than I can remember.
It's amazing to be this consistently lucky.

Just rewatched few things..
1. I think we will look back on this game and feel great about it. 500+ yards and it should've been much worse on a great defense. I think TCU will be the 2nd best defense we see all season and honestly maybe the best overall team we see all season.
2. Really wish we would've punched it in at the end of the game. 20+ point win would have been a real statement.
3. Why is Wade not a full time safety? It's a crime that Pryor gets more snaps than him.
4. Offensive line did great. Protecting Haskins and paving the way for the run game it was there all game.
5. This WR group is insane. They're all so good that you cant key on any one person. Mack had a rough game but he will bounce back IMO vs Tulane. Mack dropped a TD and few drops killed some drives but you know he will be back.
6. The big plays allowed... I'm ok with two of them (one handed catch for 40 yards and the 40 yarder on Wade) but the 94 yard run is embarressing and the long TD pass is inexcusable. Not only is it a 94 yard TD but it was a ruined opportunity to get great field position too.
7. Everyones overreacting about the LBs. IMO they played a fairly solid game outside of 3-5 plays. The difference is when we screw up we REALLY screw up.
8. We needed a fight. We needed to struggle and we needed to be down to someone so we can have that experience. This experience will go a long way in later games.
Overall the offense was as advertised and if not for a few drops and a few penalties this could've been much worse for TCU.
Defensively this team is just way too hit or miss. Created 3 turnovers, 2 TDs and lots of pressure but boy do we give up the big hits. The big hits this year have normally been six points for them and we need to figure out how to stop those. Its ok to give up a big play or two but its not ok to give up long TDs

The Grumpy Old Buckeye: OSU vs. TCU
Welcome back, friends. In case you’re new to the Grumpy Old Buckeye, this column serves as the voice of negativity, even when things are generally pretty great. I’ll point out the things from each game that make me want to walk out onto my lawn in my bathrobe and yell at people about it. This week we’re talking Ohio State vs. TCU from Jerry World.
Games Not on Campus
One of the greatest things about college football is the on-campus atmosphere. It’s not that this game didn’t have a good atmosphere, but games on college campuses are just better. NFL stadiums are fine for bowl games and NFL matchups, but let’s let the kids play at their respective schools. It’s better for the students and for the college traditions.
Blowing TD Passes on Two Straight Plays
Ohio State’s first drive should have resulted in a touchdown, twice. On second down, Dwayne Haskins threw a line drive toward Rashod Berry instead of putting a little air under it to ensure he got it over the oncoming defender. It was knocked down as a result and there were no other defenders out there to stop the play if it had gotten through. On the next play, Austin Mack dropped the first of three buttery balls on the night — and this came after two big plays earlier by Mack on the drive. In big-time games and on the biggest stage, it’s usually the team that makes the fewest mistakes that wins, and dropping a sure touchdown set a bad tone for the first half. Thankfully, the Buckeyes recovered nicely.
What Even Is Pass Interference?
I’ll fight Kirk Herbstreit over this call. I don’t care what he says, that penalty on Damon Arnette that allowed TCU to keep an eventual scoring drive alive should have been called on the offense. Damon Arnette, who actually had a better chance of catching the ball than the receiver, was held and then the receiver used Arnette’s frame as leverage to elevate to go after the pass. That spun Arnette around toward the receiver and then more contact came and the flag came out for a critical penalty. It seemed like a soft call considering some of the things TCU got away with — most notably grabbing and turning Johnnie Dixon halfway around in the front of the end zone in the second quarter on third down. The Buckeyes had to settle for a field goal as a result.
A Berry Bad Wildcat
Ohio State had a promising drive going and with a third-and-one situation inside TCU territory, Ryan Day dialed up the wildcat formation with Parris Campbell. The rhythm of the offense was disrupted and Berry committed a false start, which ultimately wrecked the drive. I really hate when coaches overthink things, although I recognize there are times you want to change things up and show something new. The way TCU was shooting gaps on defense, I’m not sure the play would have gotten the first down, but I would have bet pretty good money that J.K. Dobbins or Mike Weber could have picked up a yard there.

Seriously. I get it, you're trying to soften the blow and tell your team it was yours to win so no reason you can't beat okie.
But its a bit of a slap in the face to OSU losing, by far, their best player in Bosa, and committing plenty of dropped passes and some errors as well. It was a messy game early in the season.
Man up and say "We punched them in the mouth, but they got up and beat us in the 2nd half."
