Also, giving the WRs and 10 fucking yard cushion is playing to lose

Knowles: Okay secondary, you’re instructions are to disregard their receivers.

Secondary: why coach? Is their QB just going to run?

Knowles: No, just disregard them.

The DTs have been invisible today. They almost never collapse the pocket or get any push

They only have seemed to show up on short yardage runs like they coasting the rest of the game

I don't think that's it either. It's a lazy take. We've started like this for several of the last few games.

Anyone with a brain has seen this for weeks. Not remotely a national championship team. Execution is genuinely pathetic every week, for the exception of hapless Indiana.

I have to say every time it’s 3rd and 2 for our offense, I cringe.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Where is the intensity? I’ve said for two years we need a Doss, Schlegel. CJ is fine if he had a little more Dog in him.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

Really, you think 10 points in the first half is who this offense is and is acceptable? The lack of O has given them short fields on multiple occasions. Good on the D for holding them to FGs twice.

Not against a team that couldn't score last week. I never said sh*t about the O, right? Like I said in other posts, concerned about the O as well. Can't be concerned about both, right?

 

[Systems_id]

given the shitshow that the D was last year and the fact every coach but 1 was replaced, all the transfers… I give the D a bit of a pass … they are improving but are not the Silver Bullets we all love.

Offense… you’ve changed the OL coach… and thats it … same problems as before running the ball.

I’m not even gonna mention my favorite punching bag from last year… who still has a job doing ?!?!??!

Day as great as he’s been for the program may not actually but the right guy to lead this program back to a natty … not many are and i’ll eat a full serving of crow but something is off …

Maybe but part of me thinks being in the B1G holds Ohio State back more than anything. You need to build a team that both somehow stacks up against B1G style teams and warm weather teams. Urban is one of the GOAT coaches and even he only made it to one Natty and didn't really dominate the B1G like we thought he would probably due to the clash in styles.

It seems like DL is playing to contain Taulia. We've also been using spies.
That's all well and good -- if the DBs weren't in prevent defense.

edit: don't know why I wrote OL the first time.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

something is off …

1. Spreading the field and attacking the edges

2. Lack of constraint plays

3. Failure to use misdirection

4. Finesse football in November

5. Overall, too predictable

If offense is doing it’s job the defense would be fine.

 

[JCOSU86]

It just looks to me that the team is disinterested. 7 was right fucking there on that long pass and just let the receiver get it. Frustrating

 

[Jake]

We've gotten by without JSN but his loss is being felt. Double MHJ and make Fleming/Egbuka beat you. The only power RB we have is hurt, too.

If Henderson tries to bounce another run outside put someone in who will stick to the play. He doesn't have the burst to do that on a bad foot.

 

[Gunlife]

I know it's bad, but man we're so freaking injured. I understand it's THE Ohio State University and it next man up, but it's getting bad. We lost our 3rd string 5 star RB before the season stated, then the next 2 Allstars backs are hurt badly, and our 4th stringer torn his knee up in practice.

Also we lost the pre season best WR in the freaken nation... but we should be still having 50 on everyone...

Also Micheal Hall injury is massive and people need to remember just because Eichen is out there he has a fucking cast on a hand...

Just a miserable season as far as injuries go. Still undefeated which is amazing imo!

Is this comment about a team that’s 10-0?

Oh, so the D isn't doing it's job now all of a sudden?
