Game Thread Ohio State vs TCU (Arlington, TX) - 09/15/18, 8:00PM (ABC)

[MGMT]

Never has a 1-point deficit been so frustrating

 

[Jagdaddy]

I like playing a fair amount of man coverage. But I’m really missing some Heacock-Fickell zone blitz schemes and gang tackling lately.

 

[Ryan36_1]

Haven’t checked in since kickoff. What stage of meltdown should I prepare to see here?

 

[Drubuck]

Young team that has had 0 competition to this point. This half should be a wake up call for them. Keep the ball on the ground. Slow the game down and nothing cute. O killing themselves and easy fixes. Still say Buckeyes cover

 

[Jake]

Ehh the offense is pretty good. Playcalling and 1 outlier is killing us.
Defense has holes.

Thing is, the defense has scored more points than the offense. That's a problem.

 

[Mike80]

Still have that icky creepy feeling that I had in the Oklahoma game last year.....nothing I've seen is stopping that feeling so far...

 

[BrAss Man]

Mack needs to unfuck himself.
Sorry

Why? We’re being outplayed.

Well fake TDS according to Fowler

 

[dragurd]

We could easily be down 2 scores right now.

Hope Urban and Day each have throw away phones to converse during the break.

We could also easily be up 14. Cash in the 2 redzone ops and don't underthrow Victor.

And good LB play. Those were the days.

I hate to say this but I think Mack still needs to be involved. Can't have this mental block affect him the rest of the season.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Mack and Jordan killing the O.

Dropped balls, bad play calling in big situations and penalties. Easy fixes.

This QB isn’t Baker Mayfield.
