Ohio State's play calling is shit. Pure total shit.

Davies should not be starting, period. He is outmatched against essentially any good receiver...

Just got back from Wallace Wade. Duke sure had a throwback game today, a throwback to the years when they literally couldn't win a game. I would say it was one of the worst showings I've seen from an FBS team this year but I had the rare misfortune of watching the Southern Utah/Utah State game, which was literally the worst offense performance I have ever seen in Division I play. Note that Northwestern also looked horrible for most of the game, they points were off special teams and four Duke turnovers.
Maybe Cutcliffe can fix things, but this was the third game in the season and you are supposed to have the kind of problems they had figured out by now. Chop Block U is going to demolish them.

Me 2 also come on Defense.. And I'm starting to panic about the oline Bert.
Sounds like what happened to Urban at Florida once Dan Mullen left.

i definitely just swore at powell there
A lot of these are just good throws into pretty good one-on-one coverage. Now I'd like to see more effort into dislodging the ball but they're not often out of position. That 50 yarder was a mismatch with D. Young, not one of our corners. There's not a lot a corner can do if the ball is thrown well to that outside shoulder. You've just gotta go after the ball and hope to disrupt possession.

Well we gave up the 6 but potentially bailed out on the missed PAT.

Sigh...why couldn't Abdullah have had one more year of eligibiliy. Newby and Cross do not have a killer mentality. They couldn't hit a hole or make a decisive cut to save their lives.
Um, no. A coach should be able to put his players in check. Florida NEEDS the discipline. We're one of most penalized teams in the country. McElwain is not even the first coach to do this. Saban and muschamp have also done it. Let's be real here.

Not concerned about this game. Yet.
Concerned about several things, obviously, but I think the second half will go pretty smoothly.

NIU looks much better than I would have expected, but there is no way OSU doesn't win this. NIU is playing way too conservative to have a chance; it's nothing but false hope.
I mean, you can't be the beneficiary of three OSU turnovers and another turnover on downs and only turn all of that into 10 points against number 1 and expect to win. You just can't.

Is there anyone behind Johnson? Or do they just ride him out regardless of how much he might continue to struggle in the 2nd half?

If the D were having a lousy game, I'd be truly concerned. But they've been solid.
All 10 of those NIU points are on Cardale.

Got home just in time to see that. He's really good at hitting DBs in the numbers.
Yeah, Newby shows flashes but he leaves a lot of yards out there when he wastes time dancing around. I'd really like to see more of Wilbon. He might not have the top gear that Newby does but at least he has shown the ability to hit the holes as soon as they develop.

Offense is gross
Shaun White a true freshman.
A coach should be able to put his players in check. But I wouldn't want my coach doing it that way right on the sidelines in front of everybody and their mother. It looks bad. It just looks like a tantrum. Bench Taylor's dumb ass. Tear him a new asshole in the lockerroom for doing something so stupid. Call his daddy.
Mischamp yelling at his defense when they suck like he is doing today seems different to me for some reason.

Yep. The defense has bailed OSU out these last two games, but I still expect this to be a fairly comfortable win. But they need to get this offense under control, and quick.
Just put Braxton in the wildcat more but maybe actually let him pass out of it a few times.

Yes, we did.
Gerry is solid, but damn if our corners don't suck. I said coming in to the season we could just as easily go 6-6 as 8-4, and it is looking pretty damn likely at this point. I am not even sure if it is coaching or "system" either, but we just don't have the talent.
I think it's mostly talent issues, but I think the talent issues are bad across the board for the Blackshirts. The LBs are young and inexperienced, the D-line is suffering from a lack of a really strong presence like Gregory or Suh, and neither can put any pressure on the QBs without leaving the anemic secondary out to dry.
It's just a bad situation and any teams in B1G with a halfway decent QB and receiving corps are licking their chops so much right now.

I think we're probably done dicking around with Cardale in first halves, so that's a big step forward.
The O-line and the playcalling are what I'm really concerned about - especially the latter.

LOL Mark May concern trollin'
Muschamp always seemed a bit volatile on the sidelines. McElwain is typically calm so seeing him react strongly seems a bit out of character (at least to me). Anyway, it's likely in the past and I expect that in the future McElwain would handle things in the manner you described if needed.

I feel like the O-line's issues are going to settle down a bit once there's more continuity at QB, which leaves the playcalling.
(Go back in time 9 1/2 months, clone Herman's brain, and put it in Beck's body.)

The amount of penalties we got was one of the most frustrating things under Pelini and it seems it's carried over to Riley's first squad. Really disheartening.

Of course he is, even though we're probably going to end up winning this like 35-10.

Auburn getting blown out by a team they are supposed to lose to based on ranking. They should still be ranked after this loss SECSECSEC
