If we have to focus on Kent State then something is really wrong with the program. They need to focus on fixing everything that is wrong with the team in the next 5 weeks to beat Indiana, USC and Oregon.

Not sure how this team responds. My guess is they get fired up and put on an offensive clinic, then roll into the playoffs and pull a Dayism & Smithism.

I know. I kept telling myself after those playoff games "This sucks. Why do we keep winning. Curse you Ryan Day for winning a Natty".

My two frustrations:
we can get the #1 QB, we can get the #1 DE, we can get the #1 WR but for years we cannot get a kicker who can consistently hit the killer shot
our DL would fire out and then completely stop trying once Texas OL put their hands on them.. like they'd almost freeze

There were several factors that cost the game. Sayin missed some throws that he usually makes, a few key drops. Sayin wasn't as sharp as he had been in the past. That had a little bit of impact on the game, so the little things added up in the end.
But who was calling plays? Looks to me Arthur Smith was. He's simply not that great of an OC. Henry carried him at Tennessee. He's mediocre. That's why I kept saying Muschamp v. Smith. At a point Smith was winning, until Muschamp figured it out and starting sacking Sayin. That combined with conservative calls is what lost us the game. Plus the defense figured out how to stop us: sack Sayin.

So many super epic meltdowns. Mods should consider putting this thread into the incinerator.

We took our foot off the gas and texas got very very lucky with two 4th down conversions, 2 recovered fumbles and a missed field goal all in the 4th quarter. If any of those go our way, we win.
Also, the refs simply had to call holding on texas a few times. The only reason Arch could scramble is because our DEs were being blatantly held.

True. Not seeing the all 22 film and what was happening with the receivers, Sayin looked like he was trying to force throws to Smith when he was covered. Or at least not the best option.

I can't say that was lucky. That was good play calling from Texas and poor play calling/execution from the Ohio State defense. Ohio State got some luck in the first half including that int that bounced up into the d-backs hands.

100% Agree. Our defense was gassed with 6 minutes left and we either don’t have comparable backups to rotate D linemen or we couldn’t figure out how to get them in. Either way, we should have been blitzing more on that last drive and accepting a quick score that would have given our offense 2 minutes and 2 timeouts to get a field goal.
