Game Thread Ohio State vs Oklahoma, 09/09/17 @ 7:30 ET (ABC)

That was an int.

 

[youra6]

this is correct, and expecting otherwise is wishful thinking. but bashing the kid and calling for a backup is fucking ridiculous. he's not a 4000 yd QB and never has been. he should probably be more developed than he looks, i admit, but the problem tonight (and last week) is obviously the defensive 2nd level and the secondary. we can move the ball with tempo just fine, and JT is perfectly serviceable in a run-first offense, but asking and expecting him to be able to run a 2-minute every possession, then calling for a fucking backup when he faces a competent defense, is absurd. the problem is the defense has major leaks. the offense is not as explosive as we'd all like, but it's fine. the defense is the problem now.

Him being terrible and the D being terrible are not mutually exclusive things.

 

[NFBuck]

That's an INT.....

Barrett is awful and it's clearly in his head. It's time Urban....protect the kid.....

Thank him for his service and ask him to help groom the kids. JT is a great kid, and he may have a future in coaching. Let it start now.

Barrett has regressed every year. You have to try Burrow and/or Haskins at this point. I love JT but at this point, our offense is pretty 1 dimensional with him at QB.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

Hey Nevada, can you breakdown JT's performance again?

anyone have a username/password to share for later use?

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Kicking a FG here is very Miami-1999-esque. I hope we aren't about to enter the dark days of the 1999-2000-2001 era again....

Makes it a two score game, technically.....but, seriously. Are they going to get two better chances to score TDs than this? Probably not. Go for it.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Working on the kicking game. LOL

I'd really like to see Pryor, Wade and Okudah get some time under fire here. If Browning were healthy I'd definitely want him in there.

Over rated clap clap clap clap clap

 

[Jake]

Fuck it, win the B1G.

 

[Telekinesis]

Win or lose, we’ll Carmen Ohio. We’ll slump through it and come back for more, because that’s what we do. At the end of the day, this is what it is. Sometimes it’s brutal, sometimes it’s breathtaking.

O-H!

 

[Hetuck]

We beat OU last year with JT at QB.

Different defense. Different wide receivers. Different OC. Same QB.

Blame the QB. It's the easiest thing, so it has to be right.

Best game of his career. All the other games happened too.

Oklahoma gave up 734 yards passing to Texas Tech in 2016.

 

[OhioState001]

Let's be honest the only people who had good games are Dobbins, Weber, Hubbard, Bosa, Christman and maybe some oline

 

[kujirakira]

Not only that but Saban has had the most dominant defense for 10 years straight now. I have no clue how he does it. Have #1 classes alone doesn't account for that.

Helps having one badass D coordinator for almost entire stretch...
