Fuck these refs

Don’t be a Penn State fan.

 

[Onebuckfan]

I don’t mind losing 24-23BUT JESUS BUCKS.

 

[Jagdaddy]

zone defence all night and no pass rush _equals the coaches suck . You cant give any QB time to throw the ball

Well, some line shifts, bltizes, and much fewer three-man rush might have made things better enough ...

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Will need a week to cool off after that. What the absolute fuck

 

[Poe McKnoe]

All they needed was a FG and they couldn’t even do it. Well deserved, Coach. Dust of the pitchforks.

 

[Bucklion]

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.

It’s both. It’s Day turtling to play for a FG he doesn’t have anyone to kick. Either go recruit a Nugent or play Urban offense and try and score 70 every game. You can’t do neither.

 

[EidoloN]

Stop blaming the kicker. He should never have been put in that position. That was complete implosion in the 2nd half by the coaching staff. Julian saying he wants to get JJ a shot at the Heisman, well, at what detriment to the team? There are other receivers and too much forcing to JJ.

This is CFB. Texas could easily come back and win this game.

Well, Ryan Day has just managed to blow a 23-3 fourth quarter lead.

This is Michigan State 1998 version 2.0.

In that game, Ohio State led 24-9 with 9:40 left in the 3rd quarter with Michigan State punting. Ohio State muffed the punt, Michigan State recovered, and the Spartans went on a 19-0 run to win the game, 28-24.

In this game, Ohio State led 23-3 with 5:47 left in the 3rd quarter with the Buckeyes punting. Texas muffed the punt which should have been recovered by Ohio State but wasn't, and the Longhorns went on a 21-0 run to win the game 24-23.

I have been Ryan Day's biggest supporter over the years, but I'm done. This loss was inexcusable. Day failed to go for the jugular (he never does) and he essentially tried to run out the clock for the entire second half. Gutless football, play not to lose, choke the game away.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

classic Day.

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

took his foot off

the gas.

that never makes sense to me.

why do that when you are dominating ?

just a pussy attitude.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

If Arch were a better QB, they would have won readily. Lots of plays failed and went our way and we still lost. That's a fact.

 

[Buckeyefrankmp]

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

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

This team is not making the goalline stand the teams in the past two years did. Did we lose players from those teams. I always forget.

 

[Zem]

Boneheaded shit throughout 2nd half, and they let texas maul JJ again and again. Just move the ball to the middle of the field so the kicker doesn't have the most difficult angle possible. Day doesn't remember how the fucking georgia game ended??

Stupid, stupid stupid

Kick the fucking field goal to go up 13-0!

 

[ScriptOhio]

out coached.

by Sark.

Gutsy calls by Sark on those 2 4th down plays in his own territory.

 

[TJbuck12]

Ryan Day has lost his edge and there’s no leader on the offense. The Buckeyes will not win a championship with Sayin as QB.

 

[dragurd]

It’s both. It’s Day turtling to play for a FG he doesn’t have anyone to kick. Either go recruit a Nugent or play Urban offense and try and score 70 every game. You can’t do neither.

He didn't turtle in fact you can argue he went too aggressive they went for the end zone instead of the first down
