The boo-birds are out. I can't blame them.

Boo-birds directed towards a field populated with college athletes should go the way of the dodo bird.

I agree, but I also agree with the earlier poster about the coaches...I think fans have a right to voice displeasure at someone making 7 figures.

 

[Bucknut24]

defense needs to come out angry on the first drive, that was huge stopping them though, being down 14-3 is A LOT better than 21-3

I'm hoping the players use those boo's as an incentive. I'm looking forward to the second half. I think we are going to see a different team out there.

I'm pretty sure the boos weren't directed towards the players.

Problem - Sanzo with no catches. And he was open several times for first down receptions. I hate the play calling, time for a few new plays

If he was open then the play calling wasn't that poor. Play calling and a lack of execution must be separated even if that's kind of difficult. We aren't executing on either side of the ball.

I think the play calling is part of the issue. As much as I like seeing Boom run over defenses, we need to run some more passes. I don't know why Sanzo hasn't seen a ball come his way yet. Pryor won't be able to get comfortable without pass calls and good protection.

Team just looks so vanilla sometimes.

Next week is irrelevant. Rankings are irrelevant. Potential bowl matchups are irrelevant. The first half shit the Bucks just took is irrelevant. It all comes down to what's in front of them now. I think maybe the bye week could be an excuse why they lost focus on that but I'm not buying it.

We're all gonna find out who the true leaders of this team are in the 2nd half.

I really fucking hate Penn state.

 

[Bucklion]

I'd say the designed QB runs can get shelved this game too...they aren't working at all.

 

[t_BuckeyeScott]

The last 2 weeks the Buckeyes have lived off of I-formation with Boom Herron, and then made plays off of that action. Where is that now? Boom has looked good when he's got the ball. Why isn't he getting it anymore?

 

[Bucknut24]

needs to def get Sanzo involved....but, i hope Pryor doesn't try to force it

Vanilla is tasty. That 1st half was pure vegemite.

The defensive line is doing a good job of getting off blocks to close down the holes for Pryor.

Point conceded.
