Outscored 24-14 by Rutgers in the second half.

"No big deal."

That never happened to OSU vs Rutgers before, but yeah, it doesn't say anything about this team.

Maybe everyone you're responding to aren't saying that its "no big deal" and are just trying to say that it's too early to tell if it was a flukey, poorly played half or a sign of trouble down the road.

So what they're purposely not doing a damn thing to adjust to what give our guys adversity?

Nah. We just straight up never adjusted in the 2nd half and got lit the fuck up.

This is pretty much 3 games though now of this so we have to assume this is what we are.

Prolific offense throwing, so so rushing, and a defense that's boom or bust.

What did we need to adjust to? Quadruple reverse passes to TEs playing dead to hide in the grass? No.....you're right. Let's get a bunch of defensive tendencies on film so we cover the spread against gimmick fuck Rutgers.

Precisely, it's not like handling Rutgers by 50 for the last 5 years was any indication of winning a championship. I also think people are selling the overall improvement at Rutgers short.

Ohio State has beaten Rutgers by 35+ every game until tonight.

I'm glad to know this year's team is so much better than those other ones that they can give up 4 second half TDs and there's no reason to think anything about it.

You never change. :lol:

Why would I change when I'm never wrong?

Funny.....the Real Fan Police™ is watching a different game during Ohio State and forcing updates about how we can't sniff NCs because of how much we suck.

No you give your players an opportunity to be successful that's what you do. You just stated it! They ran tricks very often. Do you know what coverage is horrible vs trick plays? Man. Yet we continued to run man over and over. Not to mention how much we blitzed.

I think a lot of it is effort. We know we’re lightyears ahead of Rutgers. Seeing a lot of guys half-assing is concerning though.

I’ll put it this way. Tonight is the first time since Urban retired that I kinda missed him. Hopefully Day and this team respond.
