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

With Luke Fahey, this isn't a Top 15 team.

With this defense, this isn't a top 15 team

@Mike80 lets here your excuses

Shit like this is why I sometimes wish I had let BP go down the internet drain.

Fuck you and the horse you fucking rode in on.

 

[Gizmo]

Hate that decision, kick the PAT. Called this shit, classic trap game. Have a good one fellas

This wasn't even a trap game. This was travelling across the country with a first time starting freshman QB to play a good team. I thought us being favored was a stretch without seeing what we had at QB. He's done alright, but the defense and coaching didn't help. Regroup and get ready to win the next one.

 

[buckeyemania11]

So who are you going to replace him with? And remember that guy has to win 86% of the time.

Good luck

Gotta take the chance at some point. At this point it's clear he's a lame duck getting pantsed by mediocre coaches like Sark and Riley

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

What?!?!?! You can't go for two then!! A kindergartner knows that!

Exactly

 

[Nati-Toledo Bucks]

Quick game throwing the ball was there all game..especially the way we was running the ball. We didn’t play to win on offense. We wanted to keep it close. Terrible way to play football.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Can someone tell me why we went for two there?

If you are still going to need two scores, it’s better to know that now that after the next score. It dictates the urgency of the next possession. If you succeed, yoi can kick off because you know you need 1 TD to tie. If you fail, you have to inside kick it.

I still wojld have preferred to take the point and keep it a 1-score game there. Put pressure on USC to get a first down and maybe they make a mistake.

I also want to point out that shorter QBs tend to overcompensate for height when throwing to taller receivers. They seem to always misjudge. Give me the 6’4” kid when it comes to throwing.

 

[System_id]

Team played like they all got injured when Sayin went down

 

[osuvictory1]

The D let the team down today. It's unreasonable to expect a freshman to be in sync yet. With that said, his arm doesn't seem OSU caliber, which is kind of depressing, because I like all the other stuff Fahey brings.

So were you saying it when Urban lost by significantly worse Purdue and Iowa teams? Of course you weren't.

I mean we had 3 tds we just wiffed on. At some point players need to make plays.

Less pressure on Fahey now than later when trying to get it to a tie.

 

[Powair7s]

I like what Fahey did tonight. Kid was composed and made some solid throws, but his arm strength is going to seriously limit this team

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

He's naming the other schools he should've gone to.
