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

Fickell is going to have to field some very tough questions.

Yep and honestly, how he answers them may give us some indication whether or not he'll be back next year

I don't think the book is closed on him yet.

I think today's game is the most bizarre/frustrating I've ever seen, from both a personnel and offensive play calling standpoint.

And that's as positive I can be. Go Bucks. :osu:

Miami and class in the same sentence......

I don't know, I thought that this new coach was different.

Not calling a damn timeout was fucking disgraceful. That's when Fickell lost me. We may get our asses whooped but keep fighting dammit.

 

[Fremont Buckeye]

Defense played pretty well sans the first 2 Miami possessions.

Offense was an epic failure. That has to be a record, where a WR or TE didn't catch all game. I believe all of the receptions, all 4 of them were to the backs coming out of the backfield.

No, I'd bet the trustees don't even call him...

 

[buckeyebri]

Did you guys really expect this team would not experience some difficult times this year?

Tumultuous off season
Young New HC
No proven QB
Young, Young, did I say young team
Key veteran players suspended for 5 games

You had to believe there would be some tough times to push through. It is one game and one they can certainly learn from. We still have a long season to go and the team really needs the fans to stay behind them.

I am sure Bucknuts is flipping right now...Stay Classy BP...

This ranks top 3 in my list of worst performances by Ohio State in this decade.

 

[Basebuck]

Just switched over to watch FSU's freshman QB throwing 30 yd outs out of his own endzone. Why can't a SR throw a screen?

 

[Buckeye.2]

+1

There's not an answer he can give that will mollify this fan. The way he managed the QB position tonight was beyond inept. What an incredible disservice to Braxton Miller. Disgusting.

 

[hdcolumbus]

Well that was brutal to watch. Apparent Fickell was kind of clueless there towards the end.

 

[lowkarma]

So are we in an age where it is not PC or some other shit to hire a new coach? I hope LF proves me wrong but I just do not see him being ready to be the Head Coach at tOSU and I do not want to endure anything like what Meatchicken did with RR... one more year, one more year, he will turn it around sometime

We need to name Miller the starter and build for the future and stop kidding ourselves that Bauserman can be Craig Krenzel this year.

This. People really short change just how good Craig really was. Craig wasn't as good as Troy or Pryor by any means, but he was better than anything not named those 2 in the past 20 years

I agree. I'm still behind this team and I still love this team. I'm a lot less upset about this loss than previous losses. I'm just frustrated. Just shot ourselves in the foot a lot on offense today. Still excited for the rest of the year and still excited about going to Columbus for a game!!
