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

[MD Buckeye]

Meh. Shitty playcalling and a lack of execution. You're not going to win many games that way. But credit to Sparty for showing up and wanting it more.

No doubt the team is pissed off and hopefully they take it all out on TTUN. Beat their ass. That's all that really matters anyway.

It's still a great time to be a Buckeye.

I don't mind Zeke not getting his carries simply because he had no shot at getting yds anyway, he wasn't getting close to breaking anything

 

[LostLassie]

Consider the weather into play as well.

Pretty sure it was raining equally on both sides of the scrimmage line.

Why are you guys saying you aren't mad? I'm good with losing when the other team outplays us and MSU did but I can't remember a worse day of coaching. We didn't even turn the fucking ball over. Coaches didn't give us a chance to win.

The offensive coaching staff gave the team no chance to win. Tough to be mad at a loss when you've been playing with fire all season

And the QB draw was?

 

[Bucklion]

I'm mad.

I'd rather see them lose by playing and coaching their hearts out and making mistakes than to watch the sort of apathyball we were subjected to tonight.

The coaches set that tone tonight. That was a garbage game and I would have hated it as a neutral fan, let alone as a Buckeye.

This team, in its current form, will get trucked next week. We will now see what Urban is made of this week, because they need significant improvement in every area.

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

Not if they lose to Penn State

I think what he's saying is that A) msu is not. Going to lose against psu and I'll do him one better, B) we aren't beating UM

Tom Herman was a huge loss, yea there were times the offense wasn't on par last year at certain points. But Tim Beck is currently making Tressel ball look explosive.

Speaking of Herman, Houston just lost to UConn.

He's another name floating around for the UT job.

 

[OhioState001]

Give the kids a chance to win

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

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

We have zero fucking chance...none. And rightfully so...

Fire left to coach Houston.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Urban said all week that the most prepared team will win. Makes me wonder what his staff prepared for.

 

[redguard117]

I think what he's saying is that A) msu is not. Going to lose against psu and I'll do him one better, B) we aren't beating UM playing like this

Fire Beck and make Warinner the dedicated OL coach tonight, Urban can be our dedicated OC for the rest of the season.

With the amount of talent this team has, we have a great shot at winning out if we make the appropriate changes.

At least mix it up. Everyone knew the ball was going to Barrett.

 

[Jake]

This was more than just Beck. Our lines did not win enough battles, and when there was a play to be made the execution was too often lacking.

Sparty was the better team today. We've enjoyed 50 wins in the last 54 games and won the first playoff last season. Get over it. No one wins every game.
