Game Thread tOSU at USC, Sat. Oct. 31st, 7:30 pm ET, NBC

Penalties, special teams, too many big plays, and (as always) inability to convert TDs inside the red zone.

Not covering the returner, 3rd and 19 conversion, and 1st and 1 resulting in 3 points are the three momentum plays.

I have to say Matt Patricia is getting exposed a bit here.

So was a lot of his success due to stellar D players last season?

Will he get recruits to get back to that level?

It's really just the D-line, they've been playing better until tonight, but still absolutely no pressure if we don't blitz. Might need to revisit LJ at the end of the season.

Sumbitch was new this morning boys.

Might need to get back in the cabinet the rate this is going

Should have called a time out there. Clearly confused lining up. Oh well.

They did. But at some point DE's pick a side and don't worry if you're on the right one or not it's 3rd and 18

I wanted to destroy the TV when I saw them in shotgun a foot from the goal line. It was either that, or Luke was under center, but handed it off instead of sneaking it.

Made no goddamned sense.

Thought the rest of the team would put Luke on their back. Unfortunately it has not played out that way so far.

 

[Bushrod Johnson]

the entire coaching staff is stoned

Maybe Luke is just really hefty for a 5’11 dude. He just needs to shift some of his weight in the second half to lift his giant penis off their necks. Clearly.

Nope whole team came out of the buy like this was a preseason NFL game

Oh yeah. You right

This seems to me to be a situation in which the players who are ostensibly the leaders of this team need to step up, hold everyone accountable for the first half fuckery, and simply demand clean play. I can see Kenyatta Jackson doing that for the D, but don’t think the O has anyone … unless Fahey decides to become the man and start to become a legend. I’m only able to follow on here and ESPN.com with no access to the actual game video, but the sloppiness still seems clear. This is just college football these days though I guess.

Looking like they are down by 23. Need to get in this teams ass at half. Game is 11 points and get the ball. Thats not shit. Need to clean up and show up.

Yeah but he looked like he was not happy at all. The staring at the camera was weird. As if he was saying "save me"

 

[Bushrod Johnson]

And the players got the smoke

 

[Merih]

giving up 20 points in a half when you're supposed to be a good defense is unconscionable

honestly the entire rest of the team is letting Fahey down
