The bigger question for Buckeye fans is this: Can Braxton play at a championship level in college? Based on his performances against Michigan State and Clemson, the answer would be a resounding "NO".

I don't know if it is the coaching with Brax or his decision making. He really regressed as the season went on. He doesn't seem to be able to throw with touch when needed. I also thought they put him in some bad situations with play calling and routes.

Another embarrassing defensive display. It is so embarrassing to watch every team we play make their QB look like an All American. We sit back in that soft zone, give 7 yards cushion on the corners, absolutely give them the Hitch, and sit back while they gash us for seven to ten yards a pop. We have the speed to play closer on the edge. It is ridiculous that we are scared to death that we might get beat deep. Our defensive philosophy, blitz packages, coverage deception, and poor technique is a shame. I am tired of watching DB's have no clue where the ball is as they play the man instead of the ball and either get beat with a TD pass or get interference because they don't even know the ball is in the air. I can't believe our DB's do not turn and find the ball, and it is obvious they are being taught not to since so many of them do it so frequently ever the entire season. You are not supposed to play the man, you play the ball. How embarrassing would it be if the ball was under thrown and actually hit them in the freakin ass instead of being right behind their heads as the receiver reaches over them and catches it for a TD while they are throwing one arm up at nothing basically since they have no clue where they are trying to bat the ball. Coombs has got to go. He is a joke. We have too much talent for that crappy technique.

How many guys on the defensive side for OSU tonight will play on Sundays? How many guys for MSU's defense will play on Sundays. Our talent is better, our coaches suck.

We cannot expect to get any more and will never see a National Championship until major changes happen on the defensive coaching staff.

It is so sad to watch teams like ichigan throw for 300+ yards against us and then can't move the ball at all on Kansas St.

If Urban doesn't make changes soon I am going to be one pissed off buckeye fan.

Don't let this one hang on your shoulders too long. I'm calling it a night. I'm not looking for a silver lining when I say that maybe the loss will be a better catalyst for positive change than a narrow win would have been. I don't care what it costs, we have to place an epic DC. I want to believe Urban is going to be too demanding and too much a perfectionist to stand pat. This is going to be a very interesting offseason.

Good basketball ahead!

Night, all.
