Game Thread tOSU vs. Sparty, B1G Championship Game, Sat 8 ET on FOX

[Honor&Glory]

peace out my Buckeye Planet family. I'm going to go sit quietly in my Ohio State man-cave and contemplate hanging myself with some surgical tubing early into the morning.

I project that OSU ends up in the Orange Bowl against Alabama.

Yup. And McCarron is going to eat OSU's lunch if the back four can't be fixed in 15 practices.

The difference in the game IMO was how well the defensive staff for msu adjusted and how our staff once again proved just how exposed we are on defense.

The offense did enough... What was the saying when Aj hawk was here? Give up more than 20 and it's on the defense. While the offense could've had better output in the 4th quarter I credit msu for making the change to take away our running game.

How about how poorly our wrs played? I realize they are good at corner but my god we couldn't do anything at all. Multiple pass drops by devin, one that would've been 6 were back breakers to a team that had no threat passing and needed desperately for a player to step up

I project that Alabama hosts the Sugar Bowl after Auburn heads to Pasadena to play FSU for the NC.

Why the hell would you watch it? I turned the channel when the clock ran out.

Paralyzed via alcohol on the couch.

Take the positives, you gotta take the positives if you want to stay sane.

I hope we play UCF in the Orange Bowl.

I didn't see any trickery.

Maybe not trickery but going away from pounding Hyde was moronic...

That 4th and 1 was the dumbest goddamn playcall of the game.

You have a 230 lbs running back and the best offensive line in the country. GIVE THE BALL TO CARLOS HYDE.

I don't want to place all of the blame on the defense, since the horrific offensive playcalling through out most of the game robbed us of at least 14 more points, but...you gave up 458 yards and 34 points to an offense that fucking Purdue and pretty much everyone else with a defense with a pulse shut down.

Our defense has not improved one bit since Fickell took over. Time for him to go.

 

[scarletngray]

Meanwhile, the defense gave up a 90 yard TD drive with a 4 point lead in the 4th quarter.

Let's stop trying to find a scapegoat. The Bucks got beat on both sides of the ball today. It sucks, but it happens sometimes.

This is true. Lot's of blame to go around. No one is trying to find a "scapegoat".

So sad

 

[GoBucksForever]

Almost makes me miss the old Big Ten days when there wasn't a B1G championship game, made beating that team up north feel so much better.

Not trickery, but they clearly went away from something that was working and out-thought himself on several occasions.

Good Point. OSU -Clemson/Oregon

 

[utgrad73]

We all want Ohio state football to go on successfully game after game. No one can win them all. I'm proud of the record and success the Buckeyes have had. Looking forward to starting a new winning streak (with an improved defense next year).

Go Bucks Forever
