Game Thread Orange Bowl: tOSU vs Clemson, Jan 3, 8:30 ET, ESPN

[buckeyemania11]

Safety.....great field position after bad safety punt.....and go 3 and out

Up 9, force punt....fumble the punt and Clemson scores in a few plays

Big Time INT to give chance to win the game.....Give the ball back with an awful INT 2 players later

Squandered opportunities lose games, as do mistakes.

 

[Honor&Glory]

this is EXACTLY what it feels like...minus a division 1 defense.

I thought Urban Meyer was looking for guys that would choke you to win a game of checkers?

This staff calls games like, I don't know what. Middle school would be an insult to the middle school coaches that I know.

 

[Telekinesis]

Again, I did not save enough alcohol for this. Anyone got some crack to spare?

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Gave up 577 yards of offense, committed 4 turnovers, were 2-10 on 3rd down, and somehow had a chance to win it in the closing minute.

Fickle needs to go

Fickle fan?

 

[youra6]

Great, now to avoid the sports media...

 

[Phaeton]

On the bright side, it wasn't a plungering in the NCG

 

[BayBuck]

I wouldn't be opposed to changes but I just don't see it happening. Fickell has one more year to right the ship.

I'm definitely looking forward to the announcement of a new "co"-DC, as I believe Urban has said Withers's replacement will be.

 

[Bucklion]

this is EXACTLY what it feels like...minus a division 1 defense.

Anf honestly...we don't have near the talent that most of Cooper's teams had right now...that may change as new classes start to flow in...but this years team was lacking.

Fickle needs to go

We don't have a coach named fickle, but this loss was not on the defense. We had a weak defense anyway, lost our two best players, and still this defense gave us the opportunity to win.

 

[Drubuck]

Welp that wasnt buckeye football. Buckeyes wont amount to shit until they get a d. Simple as that.

 

[DoctorWho]

Hopefully Adam Sandler is shown the door.

 

[Jake]

I would've called our time outs to force a 4th down, but we're talking desperation. It didn't need to come down to that if we just took better care of the football.

Oh well...

If Meyer is the guy I think he is, this is going to burn deep inside of him and nobody's feelings will be spared either on the coaching staff or on the team. Heads will roll and foots will find their way into asses. Perhaps the first 24 games were too easy, and he needed (to paraphrase Woody) the soul cleansing of getting his ass kicked a couple of times.
