Rutgers at tOSU, November 7th, 7 pm on BTN

[VictoryBelle]

Hafley made a bigger difference with tackling then we ever realized. We will be in for a game next week at Maryland with the D that showed up today.

This is what I'm afraid of. Tackling has been sloppy all night

 

[buckeyemania11]

Defense stayed in the locker room at half apparently

 

[Mike80]

Backups need tackling drills

The whole fucking defense needs tackling drills

This team is showing signs of something we haven't seen in a while. A leader needs to step up and keep them in line and accountable. Too much sloppiness and lack of discipline.

 

[Drubuck]

Ohio State tradition. Make games closer than they should be. Appear weak and then strike hard. Art of War shit going on.

 

[NFBuck]

This is beyond "sloppiness." Really poor second half for the D in particular.

 

[buckeyebri]

Combs call me unimpressed.

Nothing to see here...or so I’m told...

 

[desert_buckeye]

Mr Day does not look impressed

 

[Wingate1217]

Combs call me unimpressed.

Yep, and defensive line having issues and not providing much pressure on the QB

 

[Onebuckfan]

trash defense. its on YOU Kerry

I’ve watched Titans secondary no wonder Vrabel wasn’t all worked up.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

How are there seven more minutes of game time?

 

[youra6]

There has very little pass rush. Chase Young's absence is felt this year.

 

[RB07OSU]

We'll walk away with a win and I will barely even enjoy it with the way we played this second half. Should have beat Rutgers by 40 bare minimum. Better get our shit together on defense and learn to run the football quick.

The whole fucking defense needs tackling drills

This team is showing signs of something we haven't seen in a while. A leader needs to step up and keep them in line and accountable. Too much sloppiness and lack of discipline.

Which is why I'm wondering if this plan by Rutgers wasnt desperation but attacking a weakness which is the amount of man/aggressiveness we play with now.

 

[Jake]

I was hoping the letdown wasn't bad, but this has been relatively bad. Next week is going to be interest.

"Letdown" is an excuse. Maryland beat the Pedsters worse than our Bucks did and now we get this lackluster second half.

Plenty of talent, but this team needs to play better unless our only goal is to win the B1G.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Fuck off, Greg.

Wish you’d put half this much effort into a defense in 2018 you fucking dick.
