Baus got sacked? Didn't see that coming.

When your O line is being dominated, what do you expect?

 

[bucknut502]

This doesn't help Braxton's confidence at all. You are telling him it is his fault and it is not. Bad move by the staff. That is not a bash...

 

[BlufftonBuckeye]

Embarassing to be a Buckeye fan right now with these offensive woes.

Um, no it's not.

I'm always proud to be a Buckeye fan.

Shit happens, this team has had more adversity than any other, and having a terrible offensive game against the best statistical defense in the country makes you embarrassed to be a fan?

 

[iBucki]

Playaction on 3rd and long. Brilliant

 

[Jake]

I cannot believe Bauserman is in.

Me neither. I guess they felt they had to do something, but I don't think a less mobile QB is going to help given the protection issues.

Speak for yourself.

 

[scarletngray]

We could really use a pick six right now...

Hopefully somebody steps up and makes a play that turns the tide...

LET'S GO BUCKS!!


:osu:

 

[scarletmike]

Why we call spread and fast attack plays with JB in and not Miller is beyond me. WTF?

 

[TooTall]

It seems to me that they haven't split the play calling up enough of the offensive side. I know Miller is young, but you have to let him air the ball out a bit. And why isn't someone showing him that he doesn't need to throw laser shots every pass play? He's got obvious potential, he just needs the tools to learn.

1. So unfair to Bauserman

2. Can't wait for a legit offensive coaching staff

3. If Dantonio throws even 1 down in this next series he's an absolute moron.

 

[sepia5]

I'm very concerned about what all this is doing to Brax's confidence. If you tell him he's your guy, he's your guy. Mismanagement.

I expected exactly what happened...

 

[buchtelgrad04]

That would've been the perfect time to throw a screen. They're just pinning their ears back and flying to the QB. You have to use that aggressiveness against them.

I think an even better question is, why does Miller throw a beautiful ball in high school video, but throws all wounded ducks in games??

I really don't know. It's beyond odd.

After this performance, I would imagine his confidence (and the entire offenses) is pretty much as low as it gets.

At some point you say, "Man up, we need to try to win."
