Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

Yeah usually when he had Innis or someone else open plus other then the bell Mcuin throws a lot of them were inaccurate and either gave them no chance to make a play or made the play harder than it had to be. 2 were drops by Smith one where he let it get into his body another where he just tried to one hand one across the middle be could have gotten 2 hands on

McCuin had a pretty brutal drop on a back shoulder throw in the 3rd as I remember....

Lol, this isn't on Day. This is on several drives that fell short.

It's 100% on Day. He blew a 20 point lead.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Sayin is not a leader and he is still not moving well in the pocket. I hope they at least win the Michigan game and the Big-10.

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.

Well luckily I could play next week for OSU and we’d win.

But I agree this is just a brutal loss. This isn’t as bad as UGA 2023 but it’s close

It's not gonna show again for a minute. On talent alone they'll cruise past Kent State & Illinois. I don't think Iowa has enough in the tank of offense to beat us and we will crush Maryland too. And then Indiana comes, that's when we will see if this is still lingering

 

[Buckeyefrankmp]

That's why I wrote, "We'll see..."

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

 

[Mike80]

Good ball distribution. By the way, how many did Smith have?

8.

And I have zero issue with that number. Smith was the best player on the field tonight and you get him the goddamned ball.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

No…that’s the biggest issue I have.

No Devin McQuin, just one catch from Brandon, and no catches from the freshman.

There was no offense after half time. Absolutely nothing.

Then when we needed it they tried to ramp it up and it was too late.

All we had to do was get one fourth down stop or one more freaking score and it was over.

This is absolutely the biggest choke job I’ve ever witnessed

the players and coordinators feed off
the pussy vibe. it’s contagious.


this is the truth.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Jesus. I didn't realize how soft y'all were. Maybe I'll be able to afford Maryland tickets now that all you guys are done.

Trying to see Art Smith in person?

 

[System_id]

That and Chip Kelly is a good college level OC, sucked in the nfl but solid in ncaa.

However you feel about Smith, he’s not Chip Kelly when all chip has to do is call
Plays.

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.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

It's 100% on Day. He blew a 20 point lead.

it’s 1,000% on Day.

This is what conservative gets you in football.

An epic collapse.

Congrats Ryan Day, you’ll be on the SEC network for life in June.

 

[Osi]

Why stop playing offense when you have the lead?

Scared to lose momentum so much that you lose momentum 100% of the time

 

[cincibuck]

Scree Did any other receiver catch A pass?

Innis had a nice catch, couple of screens to Jackson, one or two to tight end. But it looked like he only trusted Smith. Posses me off that all Ann Arbor is partying.

 

[TJbuck12]

You'd be wrong. All Cryami had to do was take a knee and the game was over. They fumbled. Georgia Tech scored 2 plays later after going 80 yards. NOTHING will ever top that, no matter how bad tonight was.

This is worse because we are fans of The Ohio State Buckeyes. Who cares about the Hurricanes and the Yellow Jackets?

 

[lvbuckeye]

Lots of blame to go around on this one.

ALL of the blame is on the head coach.

8.

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