Once again the 2nd half was a shit show but not because it was conservative

Hu?

We went run run pass for 3 straight drives…

We were absolutely conservative until the last 2 drives.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Day should fo mat drills.

i’m fucking serious.

 

[Mike80]

Or betting books.

Dont' start that shit. just don't.

 

[TJbuck12]

He’s more than fine….

He would’ve thrown for 600 fucking yards had the coaches not turtled.

This isn’t on Julian.

This is on Ryan Day.

Not Art Smith.

On Ryan. Freaking. Day.

All he had to do was stay aggressive and he couldn’t do it.

I didn’t like Sayin last year and he doesn’t look any better so far this year.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Going vanilla in the second half forced the defense to play more.

We didn't look at the 2nd half drive chart my dude

You didn't like a dude that completed nearly 80% of his passes and finished 4th in the Heisman voting?

That says more about you than it does him.

I mean Chip Kelly somehow lost to a SCUM that only had two good players on defense lol. Texas seem like they’re pretty loaded on defense.

That was a head scratcher for sure but he has his offensive coaching chops, one could argue he revolutionized how the game was played for a period of time. The game may have passed him by but he’s still a brilliant offensive mind.

Arthur smith may not be a bad coach (just don’t tell BN27 that!) but he certainly has never shown anything close to impacting how the game is played with his offensive schemes or philosophies. I don’t think he’s a bad OC necessarily but I couldn’t confidently assert that he’s a really good one either.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

rough game for him outside of throwing to JJ..

There had to be something the coaches could’ve done to get him in the rhythm better.

 

[BuckyKatt]

Do you think we have the same type of players this year to pull something like that off?

We'll see...

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Trying to see Art Smith in person?

I wasn't gonna bring him up....

 

[Steve19]

Going vanilla in the second half forced the defense to play more.

And they were clearly gassed

 

[JCOSU86]

Dont' start that shit. just don't.

Well, ya know….

Too much gambling is giving me pause.

 

[TJbuck12]

Dont' start that shit. just don't.

Lol, I will pull back. But the poorly missed field goal. Bad offensive calls. Uncharacteristic drops by Smith. Bad clock management and bad defensive sets seemingly changed the game.

 

[RB07OSU]

Couple of uncharacteristic drops by Smith in the 2nd half. Just feels like this choke was written in the stars

There was a certain point near the end of the 3rd when I said "I've seen this script before" and knew the home team looking for revenge is going to get it. My dad looked over and asked why I was so unemotional and I said because I know where this is headed. Hoped I was wrong but yeah, you watch enough football and you just kinda know.
