Borges is calling a great game.

Too much chasing the football, not enough reads. Misdirection and options creating big chunks of yardage.

Boys gotta settle down and just monitor their responsibilities.

Hold your lane and light 'em up!

Does someone other then Roby fell like playing a little D today?

 

[Wingate1217]

We need the AFLAC Duck to give the "D" a pep talk...

 

[HorticullyBuck]

Sense when do silver bullets get raped on screen passes?

 

[jlb1705]

Defense is too aggressive - out of control. Borges is doing a nice job of using that against them. I know it's the default bogeyman since Bollman and DAVE left town, but a dose of soft zone might do this defense some good right now.

 

[Gothmog8]

Come on defensive adjustments. Come quick.

Right. Same cant be said for anyone else.

Anyone keep expecting to look over at sideline and see John Cooper wearing headset?

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Ohio State needs something to shift the momentum on defense. They are not believing in themselves yet. Need a confidence builder.

It's not a lack of effort. It's a failure of execution.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Well, lets hope they shot their wad in that 1st quarter, because they have the defense totally off balance. Not sure where this playcalling has been all year for them, but thus far, Borges is calling a great game.

Every play had been a reverse or bootleg or screen or odd formation. That's difficult to plan for even if you're a great D.

The missed tackles and over pursuit by the line is what's killing us. Fundamental football is all I'm asking.

What a bunch of crap the defensive plan was.... Let's give the inept offense time to do whatever we want and play everyone 15 yards off the ball.... At this point getting off the field with only three points is huge

Anyone keep expecting to look over at sideline and see John Cooper wearing headset?

No. I expect Urban to be going off.

I expect to look to the sideline and see Vrabel losing his goddamn mind.
