Game Thread tOSU at Miami FL, Sept 17, 7:30 pm ET, ESPN

[Tlangs]

we are sitting in the middle of a conflict of interest.....

best thing for OSU in the long term is for braxton to take every snap the remainder of the season and maybe lose 5 games.


If we lose 5 games, Fick gets fired.

Right now I see a loss to Wisconsin. A bad one.

Illinois beat ASU today and you know they'll play like a top 5 team against Ohio State.

Sparty is Sparty. Toss up.

Michigan is playing defense again. Could be another toss up.

Nebraska at their place?? Yikes.

I'm going to wait and see how the QB situation shakes up before I make any predictions. If Braxton has the arm and passing ability we all thought he did then I honestly think we can win the B1G this year.

I honestly cannot stress enough how badly the QB situation negated nearly every positive this Buckeye team had tonight.

 

[Buckeneye]

What. The. Fuck!!!!!!!!!??????

 

[MaxBuck]

Michigan played Eastern. I don't think that's a good indication of their defense (which has been slightly better than horrific)

tOSU-Michigan: the stoppable force against the movable object.

How many carries did Hall get in the second half?



Should have pounded the ball from minute one. Once we got behind, it was effective but too late.

But I think most rational people realize that you lose 5 with Baus as well. Surely Fick can't think that Baus still gives us the best chance to win right?

5 losses are a certainty with Baus playing. Hope that's not bashing. It's meant to be an opinion.

If we have an OC that can create game plans for Braxton then I think the offense will be efficient enough to win most of the remaining schedule.

Exactly.

to YSUbuck - Michigan can't stop the run. Trust me, OSU's offense will look entirely different by November anyway.

As long as the coaches don't keep being ridiculously indecisive and soft on the QB situation, we can recover and move forward. If they keep up this QB carousel crap...I don't have high hopes. That hampers your future and does nothing to help the team this season.

 

[Tlangs]

I was proud of our defense after the first two possesions. They grew up tonight. We can still right the ship.

I think Halls' cramping up severely limited him.

I know, I don't know what to add except this ...

Yeah, that's true.

And somehow we end up winning everything in conference - believe!!?!

 

[ysubuck]

Here's hoping!!!

You're thinking Bauserman will lose a lot more hair by then?
