I was a complete wreck. Pretty sure I paced for about 8 miles worth of steps in my living room. Also pretty sure my neighbors heard many expletives.

Another away night game against a team coming off a bye. And they have Saquon Barkley who scares me to death after what Corey Clement just did.

OSU SHOULD blow them out. But you're right @ PSU at night and with a very good RB it won't be easy.

How many blatant holding calls did not get called? I read a few exbuckeyes say that is Wisconsin for you but some of those hold changed the game.

Whoever said Nick Bosa will be better than his brother, I completely agree with you. That kid is a beast.

We need to roll Penn St. These last two weeks have stressed me out and caused me to drink way more than I should have.

Plus he roots for OSU too since his daughter (my gf) went to OSU. So he won't be that upset. I think

BWAHhahaha. that is classic.


to second everything else regarding this game, it was depressing. I can't think of a more shitty 6 quarters of offense than the indiana game and the first half of the wisconsin game. I actually posted on facebook that they should put burrow in to see what he can do since JT was throwing so poorly.

I fully believe JT isn't the problem...I don't think our WR are very good at separation and route running. They are EXTREMELY athletic..but raw.

We have a winner!!!! I am sick of seeing our receivers not getting separation. In High school they didnt have to work at it since they were probably the best athlete on the field. In college learning separation is something they need to be taught. In the Oklahoma game the Buckeyes talent outweighed the Ok dbs talent. Something needs to change in the receivers coaching room. Its shameful watching some of the best talent just running routes and not being able to get open.

I think Urban has to realize that most teams are just going to stack the box against us now and make us throw.

JT is a good QB but the passing game is atrocious right now.

Zach Smith is a heck of a recruiter..but something's not connecting with the skills on the field this year.

I dont care how good of a Qb you have, if your receivers are not getting open there is nothing for him to do except run. Jt has ran way to much this year and will eventually catch up to him. I am not confident in our back ups like I was two years ago.

When the Bucks won the NC he had a few guys that made unbelievable catches to help the team out. You see a few here and there now but something needs to change to improve the receiving corp.

I don't disagree with the WR issue but I'm not super worried about it. Urban will get it figured out.

As far as the backup Qbs, I am highly confident in whatever UM decides to put out there at QB. Remember, Cardale Jones was a dumpster fire who most thought would never play a relevant down in CFB much less get drafted in the 3rd round. I'm sure Urban has someone like him waiting in the wings.

I think our WR's are really young and raw, and teams have film on them now. They are finding their weaknesses and tendencies. Remember that wisky cosch basically saying we run the same plays or routes all the time. They pretty much knew everything we were doing.

Psu has had two weeks to prepare too. So I'll just assume Saturday will be another close one.

Had a discussion the other day with someone about this...seeing some of the struggles for OSU WR this year (and pretty much last year they were under-utilized) and your a 5* WR (Grimes/Lindsey), are you more or less likely to come to OSU? Either you're thinking "Man, I can come in and play better than most these guys right away" or "Man, these guys aren't getting coached up very well, and aren't calling good plays"?
