Brax is getting murdered.

The quick reads aren't open and he's not getting time to wait for the downfield stuff.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

I just don't know how they're even going to score a field goal. Even if they get the ball on the 50 or 40, they just seem to FS right away, or get a sack. Miller has something like -30yds rushing, I would have never thought that would've happened...

 

[scarletngray]

My goodness...

I've never seen an Ohio State Offense struggle like this on a consistent basis.

We need some help from the D here. Turnover. Pick Six. Something...

 

[exhawg]

seriously... fucking change the snap count.... they are jumping the snap every time...

I agree, but we jump every time we use a different count.

 

[THEWOOD]

This is tough to watch.

I agree. I was telling my wife, this is just brutal and not a whole lot of fun to watch.

 

[Buckeye doc]

ok, pick 6 coming up...we've been really close

 

[scarletmike]

I like Braxton scrambling, but he also has to learn that there are times to throw the ball away.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Desire is there, execution is not yet. These kids are playing hard. Need to catch a break somewhere.

Idiots booing are really a big help.

This...

 

[buckeyes_rock]

Our only offense might have to come from our defense.

 

[scarletngray]

ok, pick 6 coming up...we've been really close

Agreed...time for something big on D

 

[BlufftonBuckeye]

3 things:

1. Braxton holds the ball too long. I understand he's a freshman, but goddamn son.

2. When he runs, he doesn't commit to a line and go. He constantly changes direction before even going forward.

3. He goes right into the teeth of the D 75% of the time. I'd like to see him get outside and use his speed/athleticism.

 

[mattynokes]

seriously... [censored]ing change the snap count.... they are jumping the snap every time...

Going on two instead of one? I don't know if that's in the playbook.

But seriously, this would solve a ton!!! I don't think the line is all to blame. When the defense already has a step before the ball is snapped, what can they do?

 

[Bestbuck36]

Sparty is stupid if they throw the ball.

All they have to do is run and play field position and we're out of it. Not flexible enough to make changes as the game is going apparently.

 

[buckeyes_rock]

Man Cunningham is freakin strong!

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

I'm sorry I know Miller is the future... but at this point lets see some Guiton... or even Taylor Graham.... just please no Joe... I really don't see how we haven't seen them at least once this year....

can we fucking tackle someone... PLEASE...
