Enjoy scooter:


"We couldn't do diddly-poo offensively. We couldn't get a first down. We couldn't run the ball. We didn't try to run the ball. We couldn't complete a pass. We sucked. It was a horseshit performance in the second half. Horseshit. I'm totally embarrassed, and I'm totally ashamed. We got our ass kicked in the second half. It sucked. It stunk. Cuz they just blocked better, were more tougher, more physical, coached better, did everything better. We couldn't do diddly-poo We sucked."

agreed... which is the point i was trying to make in another thread... my question is that of the 150 or so plays in a game, why must the entire outcome be distilled into the result of one key play? why not try to win the game on EVERY PLAY, and not just hope that you win the one that you boiled it all down to? what i see, all too often, is an offense that merely goes through the motions- an observation which is validated by the sloppy play, stupid mistakes, and poor execution- until, all the sudden, if they don't make THIS PLAY, it's over. i don't like those odds... i understand that the coaches are not 'trying not to score,' but what i do not understand is what seems to me to be a fundamental lack of the same sense of urgency on EVERY PLAY that is inherant in that one play, or one drive or one stop...

i am so grateful for the '02 season. i am so grateful for those seniors, and Krenzel, and even MoC, but to me, Tresselball does a great disservice to the talents that we have because it fails to utilize the weapons that we have...

what part of a mistake free, opportunistic offense is missing? we make mistakes, we are not opportunistic, and we are not efficient... you have to win in all three phases of the game, or at least play even in two... but what i saw was a push on Special Teams, a push on D, and an O that played horribly... we lost because our offense cannot seem to go anywhere without stepping on it's own dick... and that includes the four prior games- fumbles, costly penalties, turnstyle blocks, you name it- this offense is flat out BAD, and i see nothing that indicates that the problem will be resolved any time soon...

before the game, a few of the guys (Whitner and Salley, IIRC) talking about Penn State's players not having been hit by a Big Ten D before, and questioning whether they could take it... then i saw an offense that had NO IDEA what it was doing, until it was far too late... i wonder who embraced the challenge more? Penn State's young freshman and MR, or the Ohio State O?

i didn't feel too bad about Texas-- they made the plays... but this loss just burns at me... we should NEVER have been in a postion to need a 90 yard drive with 3 minutes to go, but we pissed away every opportunity away until it was just too late...

to me, this loss smacks of scUM '95 or '96 because the players ran their mouth, then failed to back it up on the field...
