I actually did do more hunting after that pathetic loss to Purdue. Heck, I turned it off at Halftime and watched a Nightmare On Elm St. sequel and it was less scary than that POS half I just watched!
Congratulations to Urban on another “a wins a win game” and Rose Bowl victory. I wish him all the best and thank him for all his successes while coaching our Buckeye program. Hopefully someday he might be our next AD, we shall see.
Seriously though, I am ready for a change though be it bringing some rough roads ahead under Ryan Day’s control. IMO, the players played better the first 3 games than they did under UM for the most of the remainder of the season. I hope RD does the smart thing and the right thing and gets rid of a few coaches on our defense, like ALL of them! Our LB Corp. is the WORSE I’ve seen play over my entire life going all the way back to mid 70’s. Not only were they slow,took bad angles and missed tackles but Borland and Werner looked lost all season long! Our safeties made way more tackles than any than I’ve ever seen which often led to the opposing team getting huge gains and first downs. Our corners weren’t much better but they could have been had a coach taught them fundamentals like turning your head around and playing the ball like a receiver. It would have made a world of difference and better prepared them for the next level. White,Fuller and Wade showed the most promise and consistency toward the end of the season. Did anyone else hear Herb and Davis talking during their commentary in the second half about our defensive back 7? Not one of them were voted on by the BI6 coaches as consensus 1,2 or 3 team all B16 teams! NOT ONE!!!! Only Fuller made 2nd Team voted by the players I think. I think that spoke volumes as to why our defense SUCKED ASS this season and in my opinion it starts with COACHING! If that is the best we have to put on the field then we’ll struggle next year as well but I think this team does have talent. They just need coached up better and some need replaced, IMO.
As others felt last night, I felt like we lost after time expired in the game. I also feel had the game lasted 3-5 more minutes or until Wash had one more possession we were going to blow it. They out played us the entire second half and took over the momentum. Our players and coaches assholes were puckered so tight they were just trying to hang on after getting away from doing what they did the entire first half. I’m sick and tired of conservative and predictable play calling so I hope this change is taking the OSU program into the opposite direction. GO BUCKS!
I wish I could like this 100 times. Very good observations and writeup buddy.
