tOSU vs Missouri, Goodyear Cotton Bowl, Friday Dec. 29, 8 ET on ESPN

Re: point 2. Check the stats for 1965 @ MSU. Point 3. Texas QB came to Columbus for one year of free lessons, saw how backups were treated and went right back to Texas? Absolutely no excuse to not have two QBs ready for any game, especially a bowl game.
I will have to look that up since I was 23 years from being born haha. But on point 3, agree completely. A good point to add to improvement, get your backups meaningful reps when you can and for the love of god have them ready to play regardless. It is a position ripe for injury and it only takes one play. Most other major programs are ready and hell just look back to our last championship...we had 3 guys ready at any given moment. So there really is no excuse for LK to come in and be a deer in headlights even if he is a frosh.

Time to admit that the half-wit in Ann Arbor figured this out long before we did.
Happy Holidays Cinci! I hope you and yours are well. Given the high level of play you are used to, this loss has to be a gut punch. Florida has sucked for so long that you tend to become numb to it more than if you’ve been good for a while. I have never really been a fan of Day. I don’t really know why, more of a gut feeling that I don’t like his personality and would not want to follow him into battle.

And not trying to make anyone here feel worse than they do, but even my sucky Gators almost won at Mizzou - giving up a late 4th quarter, fourth and 30 on their winning drive. The sucky 2023 Gators scored 31 on those guys at their place. It is absolutely unacceptable for The Ohio State University, ranked as they were, to score 3 points on them despite the qb issues. If my stupid ass could predict the next Day play call, you know they could. Somebody in administration needs to tell Day unless he cleans house on some of his clearly inept assistant coaches (special teams- my God!) and gets an OC, that he will be gone.

Here’s to greater success for both our programs in 2024. OH, and Go Gators!

I don't know about "nothing", but right now the lack of QB development, Oline, poor playcalling, and Dline depth are the biggest issues.
Especially the Oline.

To your point, it’s easier to see the issues from a zoomed out, birds eye view of the program. We can’t discredit Day for the amazing defense while crediting Day for the inept offense last night. Day is the CEO, and about 70% of his reports did their job. Hartline, Bailey, Alford, Eliano, Walton, and Johnson (for the most part) did their jobs in development/prep. His other reports primarily Dennis, Flemming, and Frye didn’t.

Last nights game was lost as soon as Brown went down inside a collapsed pocket, and then further outlines it when he was drilled from the blindside. Glaringly obvious that with a better OL coach, and a more seasoned QB coach were fair much better…I’m not even going to talk about Flemming’s bum ass.

Interesting that Day, when asked about Gebbia playing said that he thought LK gave them a better chance with his practice reps and running the zone read. I don’t recall seeing us run a zone read that threatened the QB keeping it.
Yep we hardly ran the QB at all so he’s full of shit.

Just so tired of their reasonings behind things. Also many will say “calm down they know what’s good for the team and you’re some dude on a message board”.

Well, maybe I don’t have decades of coaching experience but I played college ball and here’s some of the baffling things I’ve noticed.

1. We won’t run the QB
2. We won’t rotate our WRs and we basically run our top 3 into the ground by the end of every year.
3. Inexplicably redshirt kids that aren’t going to be here 5 years regardless like Hayden. Who btw every time he plays extensively he dominates.
4. We have questionable ability to evaluate positions where kids should be playing. Such as moving tackles to guard, moving kids around like Cade Stover, have Sonny playing safety when he’s naturally a 230 pound guy without even trying, and move defensive played for short yardage plays.
5. Have no desire to even try to make a difference with kick returns of any kind.
6. We have been running the same offense for 7 years now and insist on the same tendencies.
7. Hiring not 1, not 2, but 3 different coaches internally.
8. The total disinterest in giving up control of the offense.

I’d keep going but I have to start driving now lol
