Game Thread Orange Bowl: tOSU vs Clemson, Jan 3, 8:30 ET, ESPN

I knew the defense would struggle, but what is with the shitty performance by the offense?? Step the fuck up.

 

[Mike80]

This will be a 56-14 type rout if these guys don't start playing fucking football.

There is clearly no defensive game plan. It's just throwing guys out there hoping they make plays. That's absolutely unfathomable.

 

[RB07OSU]

Don't know, he might start ignoring you too

I've always found that reality is a bitch to start ignoring...

 

[alexhortdog95]

Just can't support Fick anymore after the last 3 games...

Look guys....there's still lots of game left, but again....being an expert on poor defense (unfortunately, for four seasons)....this ain't the flu.

You guys got a lot of young guys out there, and are missing some key guys...but this is scheme, folks.

Got a guy who tried to decapitate a ref with a hat that has put us through it for too long. Fortunately for him, he got a win in the bowl game and the D made some improvement about midway through the season.

Just do onside ki

 

[youra6]

If the offense can turn it around, and with some luck we can still win this game. We just need a spark.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Jesus god almighty. He catches the ball a yard from the first down and the guys back pedal away from him. ATTACK!!!!!

And then the defensive lineman stands there as Boyd goes by.

TACKLE FOR GOD's SAKE!

That's the part that blows my mind. All season the dbs watch the receiver catch the ball then wait for him to make a move. Is it taught that way because the can't wrap up? Doesn't that make it harder? I don't know.

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

Me not happy right now.

 

[Systems_id]

The talent disparity on display is staggering when it's their O vs our D. Literally every single Clemson skill player is juking our defenders out of their shoes.

 

[Jake]

I think we're saying the same thing. There is plenty of talent on this team. There has been NO development of that talent. Thats on the coaches unfortunately

Lots of inexperience out there on defense. Roby, Spence and Bryant would make a big difference.

 

[smith288]

This defense is more clueless than a prostitute in the Jet Propulsion Lab. They look like a FCS defense.

 

[Mike80]

more penalties, more stupid mental mistakes.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

321 yards in 9 minutes of possession.

 

[jackson77]

I am now convinced, the problem with the D is the coaching. Mainly the secondary.

 

[ysubuck]

I think we can put the Braxton leaving talk to bed. The kid is a fantastic athlete but he's not a quarterback by any stretch of the imagination. The defense has actually been a surprise getting some stops, but it seems that now the offense is getting exposed.
