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

Our first drive we were attacking the entire defense, then, we turtled again. I'd be ok if both people in the box aren't here next season. We need someone with balls up there who will challenge the other team with our athletes and a QB coach who can unfuck our quarterback captain!

Offense needs to make some fucking adjustments

You're expecting an awful lot out of this brain trust. They have yet to show that they can do that. The Oline is soft as butter. They have no attitude or nastiness like Buckeye lines of the past...

 

[OregonBuckeye]

At this point I want a pissed off offense.

I want a running back from last week willing to get into a defended face.

I want a a QB that is hungry and willing to die on this field.

I want a QB who can hit the easy passes he did as a freshman and an OC who keeps the defense off balance. The defense is the only unit that showed up in that 1st half

 

[Honor&Glory]

Wow. Urban doesn't sound very energetic to me.

He sounds like I feel. He knows he brought a knife to a gun fight with this offense.

 

[buckeyboy]

I'm still shaking my head at 80 yards on offence. Come the fuck on. This is not the 84 Bears defence here.

 

[CFPBuckeye]

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

Parts of a competent passing game.

 

[Gothmog8]

Damn JT, Heisman candidate. They are saying Speight is better than you. Fuck that.

I'd rather it be that way. Game is going to be rough, chippy and mean. Just let them play football and unless someone throws a punch keep it on the field with no flags.

...? i like chippy physical and mean. but when your still being chippy physical and mean 15 minutes after the play ended... maybe the refs need to think about getting in control of the game? when the play starts at the 1 and a running td is scored, seems kinda odd that dlinemen are hitting the ground at the 20...

Special teams: missed FG, decide "hey, let's kick to Jabrill right before half" and give up a 50 yard return.

yeah, don't think i kick to peppers the rest of the game. the kick coverage was actually pretty good, give credit where credit is due. peppers made a heck of play there with that stop and jump cut.

oh well, we might be doomed anyway. peckerhead may picked us to win last night i believe :(.

Youngest team in America, hyped up for the biggest game of the season, is only down 3 to the most senior laden scUM team we'll see in a while. Maybe I'm looking at it upside down, but I see a glass half full

Go Bucks!

 

[ShowMeBuck]

41 yards rushing.
40 yards passing.

Good balance!

 

[Steve19]

I think that we may be underestimating Meyer's anger. That expression that "we have to get out of there" concerning field position, I think some backsides getting reamed right now.

 

[Jake]

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.

That's one way to look at it. Another is to say we're lucky it's not 10-0 scUM at halftime.

 

[Buckeyebred97]

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?!?!

My only guess(logical reason) is they want him healthy in the 2nd half to get a workload?

 

[OhioState001]

Also what happened to the zone read? That was working and then we seemed to move to the speed option again

 

[buckeyebri]

That's a novel idea: against a good returner, you kick it through the endzone. Huh.

Been saying it all year, just fucking kick it deep. This is not a good kick coverage team...
