Just hope Penn State pulls the upset off next week and we destroy scUM and Iowa is about our only chance.

IN OUR HOUSE

Without their starting QB

I can't be deluded anymore... This team is nowhere close to the team of last year. Feels like urban kind of checked out this year too, he could take it or leave it when it was clear we had problems. I didn't see any passion or energy like last year and that is top down. Oh well. Hopefully we can beat scUM and salvage this season to some degree.

I don't even know if anyone is doing the math to see if there is a chance we can make playoffs but imo the only thing that would get us there with the poor performance of this team was to go undefeated. I don't see how we can get awarded a spot when we have showed zero dominance in any aspect of the game unlike last year.

Well I'm out before shit gets me banned

 

[jlb1705]

I'm normally not *that* guy, but I have to say that was a chickenshit offensive gameplan. They gave those players virtually no chance out there. Way to send the seniors out.

Did the staff just get cocky and think they could get by with soft vanilla play calling?

This loss is on the hands of Zack Smith for not being able to coach any of these other high 4 star recruits up to produce anything. And we now see how much losing Herman hurts

 

[Hstead]

Not sure what "non-call on the guy destroying the kicker" you're talking about. If it's the one where he got a piece of the ball it's not a foul.

Refs didn't beat us today. The offensive COACHING wasn't good enough to win.

FIFY

 

[matt_thatsme]

Well, shit.

 

[alexhortdog95]

The SEC loves Tim Beck....

 

[Abenaki]

Alcohol fueled overreaction...was that the worst offensive game plan and execution in Ohio State history?

 

[Jagdaddy]

Not to mention what this game does for recruiting.

Eh, nobody knows what goes in in recruits' heads. Want early playing time?

Hell of a run, but Sparty earned it. On to the Rose Bowl unless Penn State can come through

No Beck fucking blew it. This is a depleted Sparty defense that just held us to under 200 yards of total offense. This is the worst offensive performance I've ever fucking seen from a Meyer coached offense at Ohio State. VaTech had a far better defense than Sparty last year and they caught JT and the offense in their second start. And still managed to put up more points than today. Beck needs to go this off season.

 

[BUCKINGFRONCO]

WELL shit! The post season doesn't really matter now. All that matters now is beating those dirty sons of bitches up north next week. FUCK TSUN! GO BUCKS!

 

[Buckeyebred97]

Hats off to Sparty, they lost Cook and came through. Good teams find ways to win through adversity. I still hold a place for Dantonio for what he gave us at tOSU the loss sucks but if there's one team from up north to lose to this one is not as bad as the other.

Tim Beck needs to be fired this weekend, QB's have regressed and playcalling is ATROCIOUS!!!

Garson Conley deserves game ball guy made some great plays and played with heart today.

Defense played well except for about 2-3 drives but when the offense can't stay on the field it's expected to see a decline throughout the game.

It's officially *ichigan week so get ready to go up north and hopefully spoil their turnaround season and hand em a loss in Jimbos first 'The Game'

GO BUCKS!!!
