Is there a reason we refuse to attack downfield?

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Man, this whole team is just slow as molasses at the beginning of games. I don't get it.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

OMG...can we at least get a terrible call to go our way so pedsters will start crying?

 

[buckeyemania11]

Let's throw it 5 yards short of the marker 3rd down

 

[Jake]

Not exactly off to a fast start. Hopefully someone on defense can make a play to get some momentum going.

 

[Saw31]

Let's go Silver(?) Bullets!!

 

[Drubuck]

You can't throw short there....JFC

Plus had a running lane for at least 15 yds. Over thinking shit

 

[SloopyHangOn]

I'm just going to put my phone away and watch. At this point I've seen this game a few times already.

 

[scarletngray]

Nice kick. Let's get a 3 and out here

 

[Onebuckfan]

If Hackenberg is scared Cardale looks ill prepared even the running plays aren't clean.

This offense is not nearly the well-oiled machine it should/could be. Frustrating.

Hope the D got their pregame hype worked out on that last series. They're in a great spot to force a turnover.

 

[Saw31]

I hope our equipment staff burn them all after the game.

Shit, Gene Smith will sniff them all before he puts them on ebay...

I can only guess the defensive formation has something to do with it.

Lots of game left to play.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

You'd think a guy who has won a B1G champ game, sugar bowl, and Natty wouldn't look so nervous

To me it has to come back to this staff trying to fix something that wasn't broken. Say what you want about this not being the same team as last year, so you can't expect the same results, but this isn't even close.
