Game Thread tOSU vs. Maryland (Homecoming), Sat 10/10 @ 12p ET, BTN

[CFPBuckeye]

The offense absolutely needs something here.

 

[Mike80]

We have such superior athletes than all these teams. I just don't get it.

Superior athletes =/= superior team

 

[Sgt Brutus]

I thought we were working things out the first few games. But 6 weeks in it's clear there is something wrong.

At OSU this Maryland team has 166 yds rushing with 11 minutes to go in the 3rd Q. Maryland.

Thing is, I'd actually prefer to not be #1 at this point. It's constantly used sarcastically against us. Or at least stated with some bite. How many times have we heard "against the #1 team in the nation" by a talking head this season? Every game, actually, and it's never meant kindly.

I truly don't care what we're ranked until the playoff 4 are announced.

Holy Mark May, I thought their uniforms were ugly...when did all of the ugly friends become cheerleaders?

Superior athletes =/= superior team

Maryland is absolute sh't

 

[ysubuck]

Heaven forbid this team plays in the final 4 because it will be Florida State 2.0. This team is just hung over and the coaches can't do a thing about it.

 

[Jake]

I have a hard time seeing them getting significantly better. They just play right to the level of their competition.

Improvement will be required if that trend is to continue going forward.

 

[Rookie]

There is no viable excuse for being tied with a crap team like this in the third quarter. None. At this point this team is what it is.

I've been watching this team all year and they have no sense of urgency, no passion, it's like they expect to be given a spot in the playoffs. They have the talent, but it's almost as if they need to lose in order to not feel entitled.

 

[Gothmog8]

First game I have half-watched/followed all season that I haven't been wanting to throw things by this point.

and I jinxed myself.

 

[Systems_id]

I thought we were working things out the first few games. But 6 weeks in it's clear there is something wrong.

Maybe the pressure is getting to them? Maybe they played WAY over their heads last year? I have no idea.

 

[Clarity]

I wish I could retire her... but these guys

Retire? Never. Someone needs to track her down and get her to register on the site. We need her to make a variety of Vines we can use in different situations.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

At this point how can the coaches not try to send a message to some of these starters by sitting their asses on the bench and let someone else play

 

[Mike80]

Maryland is absolute sh't

I'd withhold that judgment since it's 21 all and they just drove down the field with relative ease....
