Absolute embarassing game on Senior Day. Three fucked up snaps and poor pass blocking...not bashing but a fact. He has significantly regressed his senior year...no where near what he was last year and his sophomore year. Totally unfortunate that he did not step up his game today. Almost 50 straight starts and today he plays like it was his third or fourth game.

Lot of that going on on this team. But, yeah...pretty horrific performance. Wasn't just those three snaps, Brax had to adjust to several snaps today.

Personally, I feel bad for all the seniors and juniors out there on a rudderless team left hanging in the balance after JT was forced out. It's a sad shame when the threads about guys like Brewster and Moeller have the recent posts they do. This team is absolutely lost without their true head coach. I know Fick is doing his absolute best, but the results tell the tale of the chaos that is this team.

It's been a bad situation, but several of the seniors and juniors brought, or at least helped, to bring on the situation. Rudderless or not, bad snaps and missed tackles are on the players, not the coaches. The upperclassman have done a very poor job trying to make the best of things. With a little more focus, determination and leadership, this season could have yielded a trip to the Rose Bowl.

I disagree with much of this. Rose Bowl was not in this teams future. Yes execution DOESfall upon the players but it's pretty obvious that there's more at play in regards to player development this year. Seems like more than just a coincidence that two of our top team leaders struggled this year.

I agree with most of what you say here, but not that. With Terrelle Pryor under center and without Posey getting railroaded by the ncaa, absolutely. But with a frosh QB, and a very inexperienced stable of WRs...not to mention a pretty below average defense by tOSU standards I can't really see it. 8-9 wins? Possibly, but we're just not that good, again by tOSU standards, this year. Then again, hell, with as bad as the B1G is this year, maybe they could've snuck in somehow, someway. :lol:

I feel genuinely bad for guys like Brew, Boom, and Shugarts, (despite the false starts) and many of the other upperclassmen. But, it is what it is. This season was a speedbump and better days ahead.

I agree this year's team is not a Rose Bowl caliber team. However, it was right there for them after the shocking victory over Wisky. If they play well against a mediocre Purdue team and less than stellar PSU team, OSU is in the drivers seat of the Leaders division right now.

Even with the suspect coaching, both games were winnable if the players eliminate a few of the errors. But I guess most teams can say a few mistakes cost them greater things at the end of the season. As JT used to say, in the end, you get what you deserve. This team deserves a non-New Year's Day bowl.

Ok, so I'm not going to disagree with his performance...Brewster has had a really bad year. But I will say how much I absolutely feel for him. I know Mike personally and there just is not a truer Buckeye out there. What you see in the media and how much respect the other players have for him is what you truly get. Not once has he (on or off the field) tried to blame Bollman or any other coach, or his fellow seniors that put him in this situation for his final year, when that would be easy and quite frankly, it would be accurate. All Mike ever talked about is winning national championships, how much he couldn't wait for spring practice to start, etc. This guy lives for Saturday and had everything unraveled by the terrible decisions of others, all on his final year.

For the life of me, I have no idea what happened out there yesterday but I do know this: There is no other guy I would want out there leading my team, as beleaguered as it may be at this point. His legacy, in my eyes, will not be this attrocity of a situation that he has been thrown into. I will remember a player that fell in love with this university when he came to camp long ago, and thereafter gave his heart and soul into making this team the best they possibly could be. He was never involved with any of this off the field nonsense that put us in this mess, and has never been in any trouble in his 4 years here. He seems to have regressed and I'm not going to speculate why. All I will say is that it is NOT a lack of heart. I know nobody has implied the opposite, I just wanted to remind everyone of all that Mike has done for this university, all the while never complaining and giving his best effort. For his sake, here is to hoping we can pull out a win in Ann Arbor and send him off the best we possibly can at this point.

Mike had some rough spots this season, but he played very well in The Game yesterday. He was a beast on a couple of the QB draws, opening up running room right up the middle.

Thanks for being a great Buckeye for 4 years, Mike.
