THE GAME, tOSU at tCun, Sat. 11/25, 12pm ET, FOX

I could choke a puppy right now. Most disappointing takeaway is that I don't think mccord improved from game 1 to now.

 

[Onebuckfan]

That’s a provocative statement. Care to elaborate on specifics? Not suggesting I disagree, but not sure that I completely agree either.

That said, to make this statement without a recognition that Urban would have equally likely pissed down his leg during a game earlier in the season isn’t accounting for reality either.

So, please… would like to hear your thoughts.

Losing to PU and beating Mich for the last 3 years I’d take. Undefeated against scUM and a NC Day cannnever duplicate that. Facts

 

[Jaxbuck]

Exactly. And I’m not sure that this is on any of the coaching either. If this team had the D that it fielded today and any of the Os from the last five years… this is a W walking away. This was a matter of the Jimmy and Joes not doing what was needed on the offense. A couple of position groups were sub-par for the standards we have grown accustomed to on the O side of the ball. That’s it.

How many years in a row are we going to try and pretend there isn't a pattern man?

You kind find reasons he loses all these big games but at the end of it all, his record against any team that can fight back is Cooper level. Maybe worse.

You can make excuses until your head explodes. They will still be excuses..

You can make absurd statements until the cows come home. They’re still absurd. See what I did there? You have your opinion and I have mine. Agree to disagree and move on.

If I was being objective, this was an extremely tough road game against a very good team. They didn't quit, they gave the offense a chance at the end of the game. You can see how hard they played.

But it's still 3 losses in a row, and those pieces of shit deserve none of this. If this didn't end OSUs season it wouldn't be so devastating, but the bowl game they play will be useless.

 

[Merih]

it’s a sucky mentality, but they graduate like, everyone and who knows what their coaching situation will be

as much as anything I think they had great chemistry from keeping the same core team for 3 seasons basically

 

[Drubuck]

I'm over it. Reload and see what happens. Pissed....absolutely. But...life goes on and unfortunately get to raise my kids in my Era of Cooper.

 

[dragurd]

Mistakes and physicality. Save for one drive in the third quarter they won both of those things.

They won against our D but our O imposed their will in the 2nd half. One play at the end does not change that.

 

[Redhawk]

Lincoln Kienholz better get the nod next year, or I think I’m done with OSU

How do you figure?

Up until that last throw where hew as literally hit as he released it, dude was awesome....He absolutely improved and will improve more as we progress through the offseason and into next year.

 

[Jake]

Well it appears that building the lines is the better strategy. Look back at the 2014 line we had, that was one of the main things that had us there every game.

I agree. I wish someone would convince Day of that.

Nah

Sorry I am not the biggest McCord fan, but that fist pick was on Harrison. If he keeps running it’s either a PI or just an incomplete pass.

I saw it as Johnson initially locking Marvin at the line and McCord not waiting for the play to develop/process his reads. I didn’t see him under pressure. There was no need to throw it that quick to a covered receiver.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Whatever man…

root for an FSU loss, an eventual Washington loss and to be safe a Texas loss

Why would we want a Washington loss? Oregon wins, and they're in (top 1 loss team). Either Washington or Oregon are in, so let Oregon be completely eliminated as a 2-loss non conference champ. FSU and Texas absolutely need to lose.

Yep I send him to spend the summer with CJ and start throwing with anticipation. It makes a huge difference
