Game Thread THE GAME, 11/26/16, 12pm ET, ABC

Because they have a competent passing game?

Because their QB is throwing accurate balls and his receivers are catching them.

When have there been adjustments all year? I'm not sure Beck and Warriner have it in them. Plus it doesn't help that Barrett is pretty mediocre at this point. Plus where the fuck has Samuel gone?!?!

Curtis has had touches and targets. There's a fundamental issue that makes this whole thing fall apart and that's poor O Line play. The adjustment needs to be taking pressure off of JT and the line by calling more screens and slants and move the ball 5 yards at a time. Make the defense have to guess.

Family has left the room.

Game probably should be 10-6. Missed kick, and if you just kick it deep to them instead of trying to be fucking cute you can assume they get 3 at the end not 7.

 

[youra6]

It starts with the run game. And we have none of that right now.

 

[Buckeyebred97]

all things considered, really good ballgame so far

Agreed. As much as I hate the score and the product on the field(on offense right now) this is what it's all about. Hopefully we get a good ending though. Been 10 years since a game of this hype has been there. Cherish every moment of it.

 

[Woody1968]

Need some kind of misdirection play. O Line needs to do better, and JT needs to run if he isn't comfortable throwing.

 

[buckeyboy]

Love JT as a leader and decision make but my god he can't hit an open receiver.

We need a new QB coach in the offseason. No question about it.

 

[OhioState001]

Other than Kallllllis not knowing how to pick up a blitz the d-line hasn't been able to generate any pressure

 

[LostLassie]

Right now, don't think I see three more games in this team's tank.

Would be really grateful if they wouldn't lose to the weasels today, though, at least.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Yeah. I didn't like the energy there at all.

He knows he has the weaker team right now. There's probably a lot of frustration and worry.

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Yeah. I didn't like the energy there at all.

Just going to quote your message as well.

Urban seems ... different. His mannerisms don't exude the attacker they once did. I want him throwing his head set, screaming at players to get angry.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Gonna pace around the house and have a few drinks. Still optimistic but we need some adjustments and a few units to put their B1G BOY PANTS ON.

 

[youra6]

We need a new QB coach in the offseason. No question about it.

Beck can keep his job in some fashion. But my god we need someone who knows how to coach QBs.

 

[HenryMuto]

Heart breaking end to the half. That god damn short kickoff and the non tackle at the 15 is the difference in the game. Otherwise likely 7-3 that and the missed FG.

Well OSU must get it going on O otherwise it is a non playoff bowl game and looking to next year.

 

[Deety]

Time for BuckeyePlanet adjustments. Check your shirts. Break your lamps. Get your little girl shouting her new words over and over. Whatever it takes.
