Game Thread tOSU vs. Hawaii, 12 Sep @ 3:30p ET, BTN

[scarletngray]

One of the worst 1st Halfs of Offense I've seen in a long tim from play calling to performance

 

[Drubuck]

Ugly half offensively. Bit of a hangover from Monday and the quick turnaround. They'll get it square. Keep pounding the middle with Elliot. That is all

 

[SloopyHangOn]

God help me, but I think I would have preferred a run play on 3rd down and then another field goal attempt.

I think JT was surprised his pass was so bad. He had 15yd in front of him and the first down but chose to throw it 3 feet over Braxton's head.

 

[ysubuck]

OSU looks extremely hung over. Really bad performance so far.

 

[NFBuck]

Awful half offensively. Wouldn't want to be in that locker room.

Not what I expected from an experienced O last year YES,,,this year No. Coaches have to shoulder a lot of this. QB's and OL need work.

Welp, we get the ball back in the second half, which is nice.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Urban looks pissed. Half time talk consists of lining up the entire offense slapping them in the face. That's all they need.

I'm guessing they are passing like crazy is the receivers are unproven and need some game experience. I'm guessing the coaching staff knows it can run zeke up the middle repeatedly and be successful, but the QB to receiver needs to develop and this is basically a scrimmage. If the game gets close they will just run it up the middle.

Looked like Braxton heard footsteps to me. Not saying it was a great throw or anything, just think Thomas catches that easy.

F--- the three days and Hangovers..you only have 14 performances you have to be ready 14 times not 81 or 40. Hats off to the Hawai D for playing hard and fast and confusing our O.

Agree, he only went up with one arm and kept the other down. If goes up with two hands he has a better chance of snagging it.

Oooglay. Missing T.Herman bunches. Way too much slop for this good a team, don't care about the short week. Have to be better that this, going to get everyone's best shot. Lethargy present on the field and the sideline. Betting fires are being lit this very minute by both coaches and captains. 14 points with 2 TOs? Dream scenario for a lot of teams, bad day for us. That said, if this ends 30+ to 0 it's just going to be called another dominating performance.

The only threat to us is us. I know how that sounds, but it's just plain true this year.

If you're going to sit down Cardale for being all over the place.. Price should find the bench too... has not had a stellar game and a half... boren looks slow.. heck the team looks slow... whoever posed Collier.. I'm down with it

Good thing it's Hawaii cuz we could be in real trouble with anyone good today...

And I don't care how good Willoughby has looked in practice competition... it's time for him to sit down too.. totally unimpressive in every facet

gonna see most of my vbucks wiped out today

It seemed pretty obvious he didn't know if the pass was to him or not. He pulled his hand back down as the ball was coming, not protecting himself, just trying not to deflect it.
