Florida lost to FSU in late 1996 in the “Echo of the whistle” game. Our QB was slaughtered when a stubborn Spurrier refused to go to the shotgun - even though we clearly could not stop FSU defensive pressure. It seemingly took us out of the championship race because Spurrier refused to adjust to game conditions and stuck with what was in his mind.

The Ole Ball Coach thought hard about it when we got a rematch to the Sugar Bowl. Thanks to the Buckeyes’ win in the Rose Bowl we played the Noles again for the national championship. Amazingly, Spurrier revamped his whole offense with Danny Wuerffel in the shotgun. With the extra seconds the shotgun gave Danny, he read his progressions and we beat FSU by 32 points for the national championship.

if Woody was correct, and I believe he was, you had one of those soul cleansing moments. If Day is half the coach I think he is, he will reevaluate and adjust going forward. Even legendary coaches need a butt whipping sometimes. We’ll see what Day does.

Only other thing I will say is this. In Days defense, the team is decimated with injuries at almost every position. That's all he gets.

He MUST look at the training staff and maybe the practice field to see if they can reduce injures to 5 star ballers. No team in the nation is this hurt. Period.

Also he must must must get a new seconday/corners coach. Those are mega recruits that have new once gotten their heads around to look at the ball. We had to have the most offensive pass interference call in the country. And most were 100% the right calls.

I'd just love the next time we complain about genuine concerns, i.e. offensive play calling and the lack of adjustments, that it doesn't get met with a chorus of "Oh, are you smarter than the coaches?", "what's your resume look like?!"

As a former coach, you get sucked into a vacuum and can often lose the mile high view that you can get from a TV on the couch. Coaches are people, people make mistakes, and sometimes people make the same mistake over and over.

11-1 and beating Penn State and Notre Dame is still a good year, just not a great year.

Unfortunately, like last year, go win the Rose Bowl, finish 12-1, and try to salvage what you can. If we would have said you'd have no JSN all year and only half of a Henderson, this wouldn't be a terribly surprising outcome. We should have done better today, Knowles and Day should have been better....Knowles has some leeway after the massive improvements we've seen and with none of "his" guys. Day doesn't have the same leash.....I'm no where near the 'Fire Day, hire Fickell' camp, but at the end of the day you have 2 jobs as OSU head coach...1) Beat Michigan, 2) Win the Big Ten. That's all you control, and we failed again.

Congrats to Michigan, a well deserved win for a team that had plenty of excuses and used none of them in once again being the more physical team on both sides of the ball.

Ok so now that is over I see Clemson actually lost today.....................So there seems to be 2 road blocks to making the playoffs.

Need USC to lose a game hopefully tonight vs ND.

Need Georgia to beat LSU.

----------------------------------------

Could still maybe get in if TCU lost. Dang now I wish TCU had lost last week I was rooting for them to win because I wanted them to be #3 seed vs us as #2 in the playoffs.

----------------------------------

So do you believe in miracles ??????????

Well, that sucked. The team didn’t quit, but I think Day lost faith in his offense.

Day needs to look long and hard at himself. This year he repeatedly made things hard to prove we could rather then playing to his teams strengths. So what if you're not a run on 3rd and 2 team. Do what is more likely to be successful not make things difficult to prove we could

I think you were misreading my entire post. I was analyzing Day and his career in general. It wasn't about Day and a National Championship. It was an example of how he's done good things for Ohio State and also his failures. I was responding to a post about that topic.

I value beating Xichigan just as much as anyone.

We still haven't proved that we can stop those bastards from running the ball on us.

They adjusted at half and we didn't adjust (on both sides).
