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.

That was the issue.

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.

This is where I'm at.

Urban makes it 45-3 sometime in the 4th quarter. Tressel takes the air out of the ball entirely and goes on an 8 minute drive.

Bad thing about this loss….Cleveland just made their decision on their next QB. After they tank the season, Manning will be the first QB off the board.

 

[BuckyKatt]

I don't understand how Day and the offensive coaches couldn't see what literally every one of us here could see.

How could they take their foot off the gas so obviously in the 2nd half? Just one more scoring drive would have salted this game away.

One more...

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

That was literally the worst game management in the last 1:30 that I have ever seen at big time cfb. 2 call 2 timeouts on D? To not tell his players to let them score to give us enough time to mount a FG drive ? Inexplicably bad. He should know better but he doesn’t. He is a great recruiter but a horrible game coach. Not even average.

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.

I agree. The whole second half Day called the game like he still had Downs, Reese, Styles, etcetera. This is a young defense. All time choke job.

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.

Take to BMW thread guys

This was a very tough early season game for a team replacing so many starters. The early turnovers flattered them. They could lose to Indiana as well at this point, but I have a feeling that they can pull this together and make a run this year still. The loss was largely due to coaching and the rebuilding of the soul of this team, after this loss, will rest on the coaching staff to the same degree. I'm not ready to think this will blow them up yet.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

that is 100%. on Day.

100%

How many goal line stands did we have over the last 2 seasons. I can see why he didn't want to give it up.

 

[henry_muto]

No way they lost that game I am so ticked off right now

 

[OregonBuckeye]

How can we not figure out kicking? It's like Browns-level of ineptitude at this point

 

[TJbuck12]

That field goal we didn’t go for cost us the game.

How about the missed field goal and soft play in second half of game.

I don't know. This was an all time choke job, this is much harder to bounce back than just a regular type of hard fought road loss. I'm expecting 3 losses at this point.

Don’t be a Penn State fan.

Calling a holding on the last drive after not calling any on Texas when Arch was holding the ball forever is some bs and multiple clock fuckups. It didn't matter but it was still some bs
