Beck/Warriner

[Bleeding Red]

To have ANY chance of beating ttun Urban will have to call the offensive plays.

Beck accomplished nothing at Nebraska and he has done the same at OSU. Warriner is a good O line coach and that's the only responsibility he needs.

This offense was a ticking time bomb all year. Looking good against terrible defenses, not so much against the only good defense OSU faced all year with MSU.

Herman is sorely missed and I cannot believe this offense has struggled so badly with the talent on the field.

1. Don't feed Zeke the ball.
2. No vertical passing threat at all.
3. Offensive line has gotten worse throughout the season. A far cry from the way the line played the last half of last season.
4. Can't help but think the 2 QB debacle didn't do anything but set back this offense instead of developing an offensive identity with one or the other.

Ok....rant over. Hopefully Urban makes the adjustments needed to get back on track and beat ttun.

I agree. In Yesterdays game it was the JT Barrett show for the second half with the same predictable QB Keeper. After 3 straight 3 and outs, Meyer should have realized "We are not moving the ball" Right in the midst of the 3rd quarter the change should have happened. But it didnt. And thats why the Buckeyes lost. They were outcoached.

[smurray]

ABSOLUTELY OUTCOACHED.
Sparty has beaten the undefeated Buckeyes two of the last three years when they shouldn't have.

A CHANGE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT HALFTIME BUT IT ONLY GOT WORSE!

I still cannot comprehend what we all witnessed. What was Meyer watching and thinking? In the end it falls on his shoulders.

Mind is blown at the play calling in this game. Dump both of them now, keep Wariner as OLine coach, when that was his only job, he was probably the best in the country at it.

[Bleeding Red]

5 first downs. One deep shot downfield when Braxton was wide open and JT couldn't get the ball anywhere close to him. Not once did they go back to it.....or any other passes more than 5 yds down field.

Not sure I would even let Warriner coach the offensive line. Without Herman, he got exposed this year as well. O line hasn't been anything special this year compared to how they played the second half of last season.

I wouldn't give Beck a job selling hot dogs in the Shoe.

I still can't believe what I witnessed from this staff yesterday. Good for Zeke for stating the obvious issue on offense ALL year.

They did try one other deep pass that was underthrown and almost picked off,other than that I can't think of any others.Surprised nobody has called on Cardale for a comeback,maybe Eazy E could get the ball more then with Jones not being much of a runner.Joey Galloway has called for Eazy to be benched for ttun,i'd say chances of that are slim to none.Maybe not start him but he will be in there.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

there is never a situation where you are playing the #9th team in the country, and it's 3rd and 2. and ezekial Elliot is not on the field. we go empty backfield, spread the whole field out. zeke is on the sidelines and then you send barrett up the middle. I thought I was gonna lay an ostrich egg.that is unacceptable to me. I mean we were undefeated and the 3rd ranked team in the nation and we do that. none the less playing a huge border rival. the Michigan state game was/is every bit as big as the osu/Michigan rivalry impotance wise. mark dantonio's staff has completely out coached us 2 of the last 3 years. hey I'm as spoiled as any other buckeye fan, but there is no reason to not go full steam ahead in a game like this==or any game for that matter.this was a statement game, and our check is still sittin in the mailbox

Go see my rant on the OSU- Michigan thread.

[Valenth]

Regardless... Buckeyes need to be focused and on the same level.

[The Inspector]

Tell us Murray what you would have done?

[dazed&confused]

Just a thought...what if OSU had won by the same score? Would we still be having these rants or would we be looking ahead to winning out and going to the playoffs?

[smurray]

Dazedandconfused,
Where have you been? We have been complaining about it all year. They had been good enough to win up to this point.
Way too much talent on this team to lose to Michigan State. It caught up to them this time.

[smurray]

What would I have done about what, a The Inspector?

[Valenth]

Just a thought...what if OSU had won by the same score? Would we still be having these rants or would we be looking ahead to winning out and going to the playoffs?

TBH... If Ohio State would have won by a FG... Id be happy. But i'd look back wondering "That playcalling was PATHETIC, but we still won."

Regardless the OC is incompitent IMO...and Meyer needs to stop that garbage now. I would have made some adjustment in the 2nd half of that game. QB Draws 16-17 straight times just will not cut it. The thing that irked me most was that deep pass to a wide open Miller, but was overthrown. They never went back to it. That mismatch in the Michigan State secondary could have been EASILY EXPLOITED...
