Game Thread tOSU vs. Sparty, Sat 11/21, 3:30pm ET, ABC

[Clarity]

Not with today's play calling...

Now that he's declared I think he's going to want to go out with a win. He's mad, and a mad Zeke isn't likely to be contained. Or at least we can hope.

He ain't wrong, but Zeke putting the coaches on blast in the press is not a good look for him.

Somebody needed to say it other than the fans. Of course maybe not to the media

 

[jlb1705]

There's a portion of our fan base who need a scapegoat and "playcalling" is as easy as it gets. That's allegedly the only flaw we had this season. You're not going to penetrate that.

I've been as fierce a critic of that element as there has been. It was a problem tonight. It wasn't the only problem, but it was the leading one. I'm not sure how anybody can deny or rationalize that.

Damn. Zeke is gonna tear Michigan up.

if they give him the fucking ball

He looked pretty mad on the sidelines today

Huh?

Yeah. Top Ten.

If his number is called. That remains to be seen

Flash back to two years ago, and replace ZEKE with HYDE. Remember that MSU game, and Clemson? Seem to recall that no one could understand how we didn't put the team on Carlos' back and let him carry them then.

Always conjures images, for me, of somebody's beloved grandmother bound and gagged in a basement with an or-else note pinned to her chenille bathrobe. It's mystifying how decisions are made to ignore players of such power.

And, sad to quote a tsun player who will remain nameless, but he said this morning that Zeke had been playcalled out of contention for the Heisman.
For once in his life, he was probably right.

That one was worse becase that O-Line was GOAT. Hyde could easily get 5 yards a pop in that game. And we kept running Braxton.

I don't have a problem with Zeke complaining about the playcalling.

That backfield empty, 5 wide, QB run might be the worst play in the OSU playbook. I honestly don't remember it being successful.

 

[Buck33Eye11]

I don't have a problem with Zeke complaining about the playcalling.

I do. There is a chain of command and when you start whining to the media you look like a fucking baby. I don't know the whole story but you voice your concerns with your coaches, not the cameras.

 

[Muck]

I don't have a problem with Zeke complaining about the playcalling.

I always have a problem with a player complaining to the media about internal issues.

Zeke doesn't 'deserve' anything. He's a member of a team, not protesting at Missouri with his dad.

Edit: For the record Elliot has been a fantastic representative for Ohio State. By all accounts he is an excellent young man. People tend to say things when they're pissed off that they later regret, and I think this will be one of those for him.
