I'll never claim to be a football genius; there are plenty of guys who know WAY more than I do about the technical aspects of the game. But to have this year's performance with the talent this guy had is a big failure. It's like being handed the keys to a freakin' hot rod and then forgetting to fill it with gas. Honestly, this offense should have been having their way with teams all year long. Beck ain't getting the job done.

Not to beat a war path here... but another thing I am sick and tired of hearing is this.

"Oh they were scheming to take that away so we couldn't do it"

That has now been the answer to why can't you get Braxton the Ball, the tight ends the ball, throwing deep, the zone read, and of course now this debacle.

I remember I was starting at Linebacker one year and after giving up a TD the kid who got burnt when asked what happened he said "I got blocked". The coach lost it and the kid never saw the field again. What kind of excuse is "oh they took that away".

They also took away the Quarterback cluster fuck spread power but we still banged away at that? What about the jet sweep that we use to run so successfully this year for 2 yards?

Basically the players and the coaches just told us we couldn't run our offense because they played defense.

Find a way around it. Herman was stumped once and he never had someone get the best of him again. He found ways to beat the look and prepared his guys to destroy that look from there on out. Our issue is not that we are easy to defend it is that we allow ourselves to be easy to defend.

Defenses know if they line up in certain ways we will just cut bait and try to avoid it. No you deal with it and you find a way to counter it.

Look I didn't like the hire but I figured he would take the same system and calls and it would run similarly to last year. I figured urban wouldn't let someone come in and experiment with a winning system with most of the cast returning on top of it. Some people just can't help but try to put their grubby fingerprints all over everything they touch but most know when something isn't broke ya don't try to fix it.

Wow!!! How I was wrong. I should have known better too, this was not a case of finding the best or someone on the rise this was a hire where it seemed like everyone was glad to see him go from Nebraska. Go and look around the webz for yourself... Everything we are saying now they were saying then.

An ironic comment about his depature back in 2014 that stands out is "I feel sorry for his next victim"

Is that Dejavu?

I'm not saying Beck is the only problem, players have to own some of it too, but there is no reason you have all that talent and trip over your dick on most offensive series to the point we trick ourselves into thinking we are playing well when we do manage to scratch out points.

For every play there should be another play to stack with it that takes advantage of a defense cheating to stop the other.

Set them up with one, knock them out with the other.

Tom Herman was very good at this and he would string the plays together strategically and very quickly in the hurry up.

Strategy and urgency have been utterly absent this season on offense. It has been very Bollman-esque. It's 2nd and 8. Let's pull a play out of our 2nd and long hat. It's third and 3, let's pull a play out of our third and short hat (spoiler alert, it's a QB draw).

The play calling has been completely isolated from previous plays and what the defense is doing in response. We've just been pulling plays out of a hat.

Defenses know exactly what is coming game after game which is why mediocre to terrible defenses have looked decent to good against OSU and only OSU on the season.

What play has OSU developed to attack linebackers cheating to stop the run? To these coaches the height of innovation is apparently pre snap motion from the TE and running with the QB.

The TD pass to Marshall yesterday. But your point remains the same. There is no coherent flow of attack and it's painfully obvious watching the offense. I am not someone who calls for jobs to be lost and there is more that goes on behind the scenes, etc... But I really hope there is a Withers-esque move performed this offseason with the OC.

Exactly my thought/worry when osu hired him. I rationalized it based on it being Urban making the decision and lack of talent (esp at QB) at Nebraska.

I'm not arguing with you, but that's a play we've run two times all year. It hasn't really been a go to option they've so desperately needed to break teams stacking the box.

To add, I get that yesterday the weather conditions severely limited play calling for 3/4 of the game. There are a set of purely run plays you can dial up to take advantage of an overly aggressive defense- misdirection, counters. Something, ANYTHING to catch the defense off balance.

Additionally, EzE apparently claimed there were a set of boring run their ass over plays that were working that the coaches stopped calling despite him asking for them the rest of the game.

The only wrinkle I witnessed was a tweak on the dive play where Barrett kept the ball and followed the RB through the hole. I saw it once and it was the most success run all game at 10-ish yards from my memory.

One more thing- I thought Elliot was injured and we were unable to use him. The fact that he apparently wasn't makes his 11 carries the most awful thing of all.
