Urban needs to show this game to the Buckeyes receivers to show them how to get separation. Tell them to just watch the NW receivers the whole game. Wow.

And then ask "how does NW have the athletes to separate, and WE DON'T! "mcburg93;1819895 wrote:Urban needs to show this game to the Buckeyes receivers to show them how to get separation. Tell them to just watch the NW receivers the whole game. Wow.

Did this team play at another level against Ok or was Ok that bad? I am just stunned at how this team has went from looking pretty good to looking like they have no clue how to play football. I guess I wasn't yelling at Prince the whole game this week.

One of the shittier wins I've ever seen. Just never looked like they played up to the level of a Top 10 team and basically sleepwalked to the win.

I saw basically no improvement yesterday, other than the offensive line did play better. Defense continues to look lost at times, WRs STILL can't get open, and the play-calling is as bad as ever. Hopefully the Buckeyes can put things together against Nebraska, but I'm not very confident in that happening at this point.

And somehow they are still the 2nd favorite in Vegas to win the title at 3/1 behind Bama at 7/5.

No clue how they come up with that. They played at Wisconsin and at Northwestern just as good if not better. Shocked it's above 7-9 but glad cause Vegas is dirty.

58-0 over Rutgers. But yes. The bye week killed the team. Whooped up on Oklahoma and now a totally different team. It doesn't make any sense.vball10set;1820465 wrote:No they won't....and fwiw, we haven't played well since our bye week--I hate bye weeks

I like it better when we're the underdogs, or at least a much closer line. Urban plays up that Us vs. The World stuff real well...they buy into that. Don't know if the guys see a team name and just expect to roll them or what?

OSU is playing like crap but I'd still pick them to win every game.
Michigan vs. OSU is going to be fun.

The play calling has been shit, the Oline is junk; the defense is really the only thing that's clicking(could be better), special teams are shit. This is a team that is loaded from top to bottom with top notch recruits; they should beat Nebraska so bad that Nebraska cancels its football program for the rest of the year.
They won't though. It'll be a close game.

Our LB'ers, namely McMillan, need to get it together. Hooker making 14tkls means the LB's aren't shedding and getting to the ball. McMillan, who I think is overrated anyhow, was getting blown 5-10yds off the line in the run game.

This is something that has surprised me. I see how other teams offense get to our second level. Yet our offense cant block the guy in front of them. I have been disappointed in both the offensive and defensive line this year. Yea our D ends might be some of the best but our D tackles are hardly anything to speak of. Their one job is to take up the O line so the linebackers can do their job. That hasnt happened much this year. The pressure on NW Qb was nothing to brag about. He had way to much time to throw the ball. Could go on and on of the things that need to change for this team to win out.se-alum;1820558 wrote:Our LB'ers, namely McMillan, need to get it together.

I would like to see us bring some pressure. We rarely blitz, and with the way our DB's can cover we should be harassing the QB on every pass play. Instead we rush 4 against 5/ 6 blockers and expect our DB's to cover all the way across the field against rub routes, it's not possible to do on a regular basis. If you're not going to blitz, zone up.mcburg93;1820591 wrote:This is something that has surprised me. I see how other teams offense get to our second level.

Most def a handful of plays he is holding back, but not a ton of them! The offense is just....atrocious to watch with the lack of attempts downfield. More 10-15 yards passes down field on first down will ope that thing upSpock;1820498 wrote:Its like Urbie is holding a secret playbook and wont use it till UM game.
