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

While I understand blaming the coaching staff for overall success; the QB is supposed to lead the team not just run plays. Manning made it happen. Sayin depended on the coaches. Now, this is just my opinion because I never liked Sayin from the start.

Lol what are you talking about. Arch ran the plays he was given he wasn't calling the shots

There’s genuinely no shame in losing at Texas. They’re arguably the more talented team. But losing like this? Getting out scored 20-0 in the 4th? That’s definitely a “Someone got paid off“ type of collapse lol.

Shut the fuck up. Ryan Day choked. It's what he does. He's an amazing OC. He's a TERRIBLE head coach.

This could be a 3-4 loss season if we don't get shit fixed quick.

I can see that. Two more regular season losses and a loss in the playoffs. Oregon looks beatable. We won't get a good read on Indiana until we play them.

First holding call all night. It’s definitely a valid one, but you mother duckers ignored a whole bunch of other ones.

If you're depending on a call, then you've already lost.

Different kind of rebound. An all time level choke job like this takes a whole different psychological toll on a team. I just don't think Day is the type to get the roster to move forward from this type of loss

Especially one with 50+ new buckeyes.

My worse case this year no doubt included a loss to Texas.

I said it last year and then again this year.

We should’ve never played this game. If we lose 3 games this year we aren’t going to make it to the playoffs.

We have one more mulligan and that’s it man.

The issue is I see 2 more at least on this schedule. Not because we suck but because it’s a tough schedule.

We need to cancel Alabama and cancel UGA. Stop doing these games.

Yes no blaming the refs in this one. Texas gave us multiple chances to run away in the 1st half and we couldn't do it

Stalling inside the 5 after that 1st play fumble.

The failed 4th down.

Too many points left off the board

Lol what are you talking about. Arch ran the plays he was given he wasn't calling the shots

He ran the plays but he didn’t settle. He made the plays work when it counted. He scrambled and moved around in the pocket. Was it the play or the QB’s adjustments that earned those 4th downs?

Shit they gave us a few chances in the second half too and yep.

Blew it.

Most obvious but blind sided loss as a fan that I can remember

 

[lvbuckeye]

Wtf was that playcalling

Ryan Day sucks. It's pretty plain.

Like I said they'll probably roll on talent alone until the Indiana game. Iowa isn't beating us even at Iowa. We won't know if they've truly mentally recovered until then. If they lose to Indiana I think they lose 1 more to USC Oregon or even scUM

 

[brodybuck21]

The 90+ yd td drive had 3 or 4 huge chances for our defense to effectively put game out of reach and they couldn't capitalize once. Thats when I had a very bad feeling. Then offense no shows and kicker missed the fg
Complete team meltdown

That will forever be Sparty 1998 for me.

Tonight sucked no doubt, and it should have been a win, but at least Texas has a legitimately top-10 if not top-5 team talentwise.

That Sparty team was lucky to be going bowling that year.

 

[lvbuckeye]

Day needs to be questioned on his decision making the last 2 minutes of play

He needs to be questioned from his comments onwards.

It’s all on the Iowa game.. we lose that and it’s curtains.

We can’t afford to schedule games like this when it’s clear 2 losses is the max allowed.

Yeah dude this loss aint even close to 98 sparty
