Game Thread Sparty at tOSU, Oct 1, 3:30 ET, ABC/ESPN

[MD Buckeye]

Despite the ugliest half of football I've ever seen (from both teams), we're still only down 1 score. Hopefully the coaching staff can get this team fired up at the half & our O can get something going in the second half. Come on fellas....

unbelievable, no fucking timeout, just like the Miami game

once again Fickell quits

Disagree. I think he did the smart thing. This offense is a walking (standing?) turnover. Last thing we need, especially when they get the ball at half.

 

[BuckNutty]

If only you got points for not using timeouts.

 

[614]

wow

Also not a fan of taking the kickoff if that's how we're going to play offense

 

[Bucknut24]

I'm ok with not calling a TO.

No need to get Braxton hit again. They weren't going to complete anything deeper than about 10 yards.

Time to regroup and figure out how to move the ball in the 2nd half.

at least call it with :01 left and just heave it, and it's college football

 

[Gatorubet]

When the smoke clears, Sparty is the one who will be nervous late in the game. One score away. You'll regroup and be fine.

 

[THEWOOD]

I would have really liked to see them call a TO there and take a shot. At some point the training wheels are going to have to come off. Let it rip and let the chips fall where they may.

Seriously. I just do not understand, why you would think its more advantageous to just end the half. Why not call timeout, line up 5 wide and just have miller throw it into the endzone. Not like he needs to protect his stats at all.

I wish this team would give more heart and show some desire to win.

I agree.

 

[utgrad73]

Well we have the second half to make something happen - adjustments? How about some running plays that aren't so predictable

 

[jlb1705]

You guys wanted a timeout so they could tee off on a freshman QB on 3rd & forever?

 

[Bucknut24]

im not watching the 2nd half

 

[scarletmike]

No timeout there?

What is going on?

Are they serious?

What is up with this clock management? It's brutal.

I can't decide if its worse than The Hat's blunders.

 

[Telekinesis]

The offense can't play worse in the second half. Only place to go is up.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

Never have boos been more deserved.

 

[buchtelgrad04]

Get aggressive on defense, force mistakes. Don't wait on them to make them.

Get aggressive on offense. Don't be so predictable. Linemen, at least pretend you want to block.

Those are the only words that need to be said in the locker room right now.
