We weren't that bad at qb in 04. I thought the oline was the bigger problem then. 04 Zwich would have thrown for at least 40 yards tonight

Like I said, Zwick and Boeckman probably pass for 300 yards tonight. Hell Boeckman carved up a better Penn State team back in 2008 with a worse offensive line.

He looked "in over his head" all night, my IMO. Also, pretty sure the HC has final say on the offensive gameplan. I like Luke, I hope like hell he succeeds, but I have some concerns right now...and I think they're pretty valid.

I'm not sure if he really does. That's not making an excuse, if anything it may be an even stronger reason for not bringing him back.

To me so far he seems like Ryan from The Office. He's gone from being the temp to being everybody's boss. They all still see him as the temp and nobody listens to him.

You might say I'm revising, downward, my estimations of the Buckeyes record this season.

Someone asked me before the season started how I felt this might go down - I told them it was like a knife edge. Depended how things fell.

They are not falling well.

I mean I get it... We're going to lose to he just lets time run out, but what about the defense out there that can't get off the field? You call your timeouts for their sake. What could it hurt? Maybe someone's just a hair faster after a timeout and makes a play? maybe we do hit a homerun on offense somehow... you never concede SHIT in this game because you don't know what can happen and that's what he did.

So far the decisions have not been good in two of the three games. The first game being against a team that's maybe the worst ever assembled in college.

This is what I keep trying to forget. This team isn't supposed to look like this.

This team is supposed to be sporting a senior, Heisman calibur QB, a set of game-changers at WR and HB and a HOF coach at the helm.

I don't think it has really hit me until just now how much damage a few blatantly poor decisions by a handful of players really makes.

Yep.

Someone in the compliance department needs to get this written somehow and someway and use this as a primary example of what going off of the reservation does to a program, team and university.

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.

As a fan, I feel like I've been robbed of something. I can't really tell by whom though.

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

how about big hank tho? He may be one of the best defensive tackles we've had in a few years.... he was hustling and doing a great job getting penetration all night!
Click to expand...

I agree...Big Hank is going to very good. I was impressed with the amount of time he was on the field. Conditioning doesn't seem to be a problem for him...he hung tough.

Fuck guys! I am hammered rigjth now!! It has taken me 10 fucking minutes to type this.

Our D is fine and will only get better. Once an identity is established on offense...RUNNING GAME WITH BRAXTON MILLER AT QB..we will get better as the season rolls along.I called this loss. Keep the faith by buckeye brothers and sisters.
