I know it's the same old song and dance, but we have to give them credit for at least trying to make the offense work. I know everyone's as aggravated as me, but could you imagine how much more aggravated the team is? They were expecting a run at the NC and the offense has let them down. Now's a good time not to be negative, but to try and cheer them on to victory against MSU.

I agree we had this problem for 5 years man, it is not like 1 or 2 bad games, why is so bad to say we need actual changes that will produce results.
BTW, awsome area you are at this time of year. You around Logan, Nelsonville area? Go Bucks!!

it's exactly as I predicted (tho not exactly a very difficult prediction). If MSU's defense comes out and plays a pretty decent mixture of zone, and Troy picks it apart, and we see some less predictable playcalling (but more importantly better execution), many buckeyes will not give anyone an ounce of credit. It will just be the defense sucking. They fully validate horrendous defenses as being a major variable, but refuse to do so when a great defense comes to town. Therein lies a major discrepancy I see taking place.
As I've said all along, we need to improve. But after one lousy PSU game, everyone has forgotten the entire body of work this season. It hasn't been enough to make us happy, but it has not been bad until this week.

So if you where number 1 and number 4 one year in all of that land at what you do and you were struggling to make your product better but holding the others to worse you would be replaced. |

Some very valid points JWINSLOW, I am not saying Ohio State needs to score 40pts a game vs a good defense, but is 10 points really in your opinion good defense or not? 20 pts vs SDSU ok (the D got 7). I am sorry but in my opinion no that is not good enough. I think we played great vs Iowa. Maybe what we are all trying to say is we need consistency out of our O more then a mass overhaul. Do we get that consistency with better play calling, or better execution, or what? I think a little of both.

If my product was good enough to be better then what it currently is and I did not make the required changes, yes I would be fired!!
