Well, the Buckeyes will have a lot to think about. This game can make them or break them, but I think this outcome rests largely on the coaching staff. One more aggressive drive in the 4th quarter and this game would have been won.

Eh they tried aggressive the 1st drive 3 and out. Sayin lost his mojo and was off the second half. He makes the throws he was making in the first half he doesn't miss 2 layups tds or throw it all around Jeremiah on the easy stuff. Kicker makes the kick they win that game etc etc

I saw 2024 go on a tear after easily the worst lost to SCUM ever but getting out score 20-0 in the 4th makes me think Day might be mentally shattered after this. This is an awful loss they shouldn’t have happened.

He’s not going to be mentally shattered but we have a gauntlet in the middle of the season and need to figure it the eff out before then

 

[ShowMeBuck]

out coached.

by Sark.

How many losses does that make for Day because he won’t recruit an elite kicker? At least four. At least one costing him a national championship.

Not only that, but he plays for the late field goal, time and time agian. I don't get it

 

[visaliabuck]

we lost but I can’t be too mad since I’m in Maui sipping on a Mai tai….

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Not sure if I want Day on the sidelines anymore. This was so poorly coached that I don’t see how he can ever be trusted.

you win dumbest post of the year award in week 2. Congrats.

I am old enough to be able to call that Spartying, Clemsoning, Red Right 88ing, Big Game Bob Chokelahomaing, Wide Righting, and about 25 other things all rolled up into one giant ball of suck sauce. What a disaster.

The defense just isn't as good as it was the last couple years. Sure would be nice to have a field goal kicker that could make a routine FG in "crunch time".

 

[RhodeIslandBuck]

Not much needs to be said. Epic collapse.

I don’t think it’s the kickers at this point. I think the team might sense Day getting tight and plays like this. Prior to this the kicker we brought in was known as being pretty clutch.

One "normal" drive in the 2nd half could have put it away.... or a FG in the first half... or a FG from distance..... OR Or Or....

So many what iffs. Like not following the analytics and kicking a field goal early.

Days clock control in the second half was head scratching in my opinion.

 

[Hetuck]

Lots of blame to go around on this one.

Day.

Then whomever else to whatever tiny lesser degree.

 

[DaveyBoy]

So unprepared the final 2 minutes. Not a clue.

I’m so fucking pissed.

Dude….it’s like Day wanted to lose this. Because he called it so

I saw 2024 go on a tear after easily the worst lost to SCUM ever but getting out score 20-0 in the 4th makes me think Day might be mentally shattered after this. This is an awful loss they shouldn’t have happened.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that the last 1:30 looked like Day wanted to make it come down to a goal line stand ………frankly I can’t trust him to beat a team with equal talent. He really hasn’t
