- The emphasis on leaving no doubt to avoid close losses in competitive matchups didn’t produce results for Ohio State on Saturday at Oregon. The Buckeyes still can reach all their goals, but they need to take a long look at what is holding them back. Former Ohio State captain Zach Boren kicks off that discussion with his weekly reaction on THE Podcast Daily.

Oregon left at least 10 points on the field. Ohio St was gifted a bad call when the refs didnt give Oregon the clear interception early in the game
Spare me! Go cheer for Texas. They are ranked NO.1 😎
Officials missed 4 holding calls on Oregon and that Pass Interference call on Smith near the end was sketchy. OSU lost 10 points also
Saying the Denzel wasn't the problem is hilarious he had 150+yards and 2 TDS on two plays what are you talking about
@bossman0925 he had 3 to against him 2 against Stewart and one against Johnson
Yeah he was horrendous. He was a huge part of the problem. Also zero real pressure
@@curtisrutledge910 yea I just meant on the the 2 plays alone was 150 plus yards and 2 TDS not to mention the 3rd TD on him like he got completely exposed
100% right ....he should have been benched
He played like crap, but he’s not the problem. The problem is bigger than him. Jim Knowles and his scheme are the “problems”. He’s not made for this stage. You can’t not make a 5’9 3/4” quarterback uncomfortable and let him sit back there and pick you apart. They were good statistically simply because they hadn’t played anybody. Knowles is mismanaging this defense at every level. It’s frustrating because it is so obvious.
This video is ridiculous. Austin and Zach ALWAYS underestimate our opponents and then make outrageous score predictions. I’ve been watching it for years. And then when Ohio State doesn’t meet their crazy expectations, they throw the biggest fits. Zach can’t believe we almost gave up 500 yds offense. Well so did Oregon. Both Alabama and Georgia gave up 500+ yards when they played. Do all these defenses and coaches suck?? Or is this just big time college football sometimes? Of course there are problems to fix, but it was a 1 point loss, on the road, against a top 4 team. Every rational person knew it was going to be an extremely difficult game. But when you predict Ohio State is going to win by 28 points, that’s on you for having ridiculous expectations.
Yeah they need stop with the silly childish predictions episodes
It's the coaches faults the buckeyes lost this game not the podcasters. Day is the problem at Ohio State, he needs to walk. He's a coach that is ojt'ing at Ohio State. The university dropped the coaching standard here and that's why they will win zero championships here in Columbus. They better beat Michigan or Day is gone for sure. When money walks, they'll have no choice....and this time hire an Ohio native
Winning by 28 points is insane at Oregon
@@NuggeyBron There is no way they said that. What a disgusting, arrogant, absurd, disrespectful childish prediction. If true, I'm unsubbing.
Ridiculous hot take by you. They are completely correct. This defense completely falls apart in all the biggest games.
Extremely disappointed, truly believed this team was different😢
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Day is what he is
Hahaha same coach same players same culture same lack of toughness but yes this year it’ll be different?? Nah lol not surprised they lost one bit
@@johnmark4570 Sadly, I wasn't either. Coach Day didn't even seem angry afterwards. it boggles my mind that people are already talking about a rematch in the ccg. This team is not tough, not fierce and not a well-oiled machine.
hahahahaha
same old shit ! They have the best of the best and still lose the big one . What chokes !
Im just tired of the same shit in close games. This is who Day is. Even in the Utah win he mismanagement the end.
Defense let the Team down big time. Knowles should be on the Hot Seat!!
Every big game the defense gets toasted. Give him one more chance to redeem himself and if he can’t then see ya
Knowles promised after the '22 Michigan loss that this wouldn't happen again and he'd get it fixed. Yet every big game since then, he's done the same thing defensively. This ain't the Big12, my guy!
Most overrated and overhyped defense in the history of Ohio State football. It’s the same issue. As soon as they play against level talent they falter. Every. Single. Time.
Defense wins championships. This team will not win one until massive changes are made. I don’t think Knowles is the guy and I think we need to get new guys in the game.
SEASON IS NOT OVER GO BUCKEYES HATS OFF TO THE DUCKS HOPE WE SEE THEM AGAIN
I believe in them. I hope they all take the pain of this loss, learn from it and build.
Glad Zach asked why you wouldn't put Matthews in for a series just to try and get Burke right, he clearly got in his head and was too busy trying to make a splash.
LJ needs to retire asap
Larry Johnson and Jim Knowles gotta fix the defense or both can go asap. We have way too many NFL caliber players on defense to play like that. Our DL hasn't been dominant since Chase Young left.
It wasn't dominant, even with chase young in big games. They did nothing against Clemson or bama that season.
@@buckguy1215we didn't play Bama that season, next season we beat Clemson, and lost to bama. Young was gone then. When Young and the bossa's were there we got sacks, but since Knowles, we're sack less. When we beat Clemson, Coombs was DC.
@@timper4326it’s not the coaches fault players aren’t getting sacks we have two 5 star DEs that haven’t lived up to the hype
@@dearriusprice150 I've thought about this over and over. When Jim would say in his presser we want to contain the edges, that tells me your not going after the QB. I know JT has the talent, we saw it against Penn State. Now we have to ask ourselves, was that just luck or what?
NFL caliber players don't play like that
Why is Day nit laying into Knowles?! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! We have all the talent in the world. The defensive performance in every single big game is unacceptable
Our 5 big games under Knowles we got abused by big plays. That's the issue that needs tweeked
It was OPI. Whining about whether or not that call matches the DPI criteria used earlier or the OPI/DPI criteria used on the other side of the ball is very, very weak. Hell, if you want to complain about the refs, take our first TD off the board because that was an INT. The bottom line is that the defense was awful. No pressure and DBs that aren't as fast or effective as the WRs is bad news. However, they also average 5.0 a run. So, it's not like our run defense was anything to laud either. They beat us. Could we have played a better game, absolutely. On offense, were not a good team. We were a good passing team. We have no power run game. TH did break one big run that was blocked well. Other than that, we averaged 2.75 yards per carry...not good Bob.
It wasn’t OPI.
Most certainly not OPI, such a soft claim
Zach is 100% right and giving up big plays is unacceptable!!
Not giving safety help over the top for 4 full quarters is absolutely insane. Not blitzing for 4 full quarters when the front d line can't get home is absolutely insane.
Stop it guys, im a HUGE LIFELONG BUCKEYE FAN, but that was Offensive Pass Interference. Period. Inly losers blame the refs.
I say again they have RAN the ball after the Ebuka catch...Run ur best running play get close as u can call time out and kicked the field goal.. at least we would have got a chance to kick the field goal...but to lose without even getting a chance hurts
The only real concern I have is Josh Simmons. Nothing else has changed.
Lol blaming Officiating about the OPI and not bringing up the no review on the INT is absolutely hilarious 😂 also OREGON straight up beat OHIO, OHIO didn't loose the game. OREGON left 11 points on the field and still won 😂😂😂
Absolutely. I'm starting to see why Michigan fans hate these people
@@mychalowens127Exactly. It’s always someone else’s fault that osu continues to lose big games haha
Oregon 100% best Ohio St...
I watched Zach predict a 28 point OSU win. The arrogance is incredible.
My personal opinion is the defense is lost and not in sync which is mainly between Johnson and Knowles two old coaches that may be past their time
Johnson needs to retire for sure. His units vanish in talent equated games.
I do question whether Knowles has full buy in from the rest of the staff, I feel like Day wants Knowles to take control because that is his guy. Not sure if that is happening behind the scenes.
Totally agree
You realize Oregon gave up 470 yards. Alabama and Georgia gave up 500+ yards each when they played. Are all these defenses lost and not in sync, or is this just college football in big games?
@UncleRicoOSU this has happened to OSU since Knowles came here
@@heidelbergdawg6934but all great “elite” defenses give up yards and points. Uga and bama this year. Uga both years they won the chip they had Bryce young torch them in the first match up then Jamison got hurt the second go around. They gave up hella yards and points to Ohio state until Marv got hurt. The pattern is in college football elite offense is going to beat elite defense just how the game is
The LJ/Knowles rift came to a head in front of a national audience Saturday night. LJ does not allow the DL to cut it loose and is insistent on cage rushing as opposed to letting your D Ends just go.
Yeah but I'm done blaming coordinators at this point. No more. That's Ryan Day's defense and it's his job to fix it.
@@cleveranwitty811 100% The HC has to be a boss, a man, he cant allow an ego battle between coordinators. Day must act as if a military general.
The players have to win. Jack Sawyer is all hype.
@@deeplorable8988 So is JTT
I couldn't agree more with you guys about the d-line, and the officials. The had been battling all night out wide. You can't let them play handsy all night, and then, on the last drive of the game, decide to call opi on jj. The game should never be decided by the officials, period. Ryan Day has to do better with clock management too.
And those officials even *failed to review* Bassa’s apparent interception.
so, I'll go ahead and fix the comment on the PI it was textbook and should have been called there's also no 5-yard rule in college football so.... the WR cannot fully extend both arms and push off anywhere on the defenders body it is the WRs duty to AVOID contact at all costs do they let them hand fight? yes do they let them be more physical? yes but should ohio state get a free win because the second coming of jesus christ at WR who is a freshman pushed the dude down because he couldnt create seperation for a short comeback route ABSOLUTLEY NOT
Couldn’t agree more. You could have called OPI all game on both teams. Official let it go all night and only call it when the game is in the balance is ridiculous.
@@jlog7395 Again, those officials failed Oregon’s first half interception too. Get over it.
@@jlog7395 L its opi
Did JTT or Sawyer win a single rep in that game? If so i didn't see it. If these guys are supposed to be elite and knowles is determined to rely on just rushing 4 then at some point these guys have to win a damn rep. I didn't know Oregon had all world tackles out there because they dominated JTT and Sawyer all night.
Those Buckeyes DE ends are not as good as people are telling them ...Late draft picks at best ...It's in the results like it or not
My eyes saw Jack Sawyer being
mugged with Holding that was uncalled all game long…! Then the OPI on JJ was questionable
So perhaps the Refs were West
Coast biased…..? 👁️👁️👁️🏈
@@crandall367 so, I'll go ahead and fix the comment on the PI it was textbook and should have been called there's also no 5-yard rule in college football so.... the WR cannot fully extend both arms and push off anywhere on the defenders body it is the WRs duty to AVOID contact at all costs do they let them hand fight? yes do they let them be more physical? yes but should ohio state get a free win because the second coming of jesus christ at WR who is a freshman pushed the dude down because he couldnt create seperation for a short comeback route ABSOLUTLEY NOT
JTT should've been a DT and moved inside. He hasn't put any muscle on his frame since arriving as a Freshman. He wanted to play DE. Hence his lack of progression.
No. They were manhandled, just like against Michigan, Georgia, etc.
Ohio state was gifted seven points on their first drive that was clearly an interception . The referees didn't even take a look at it the announcers looked at it several times.
Oregon was gifted the Pass Interference at the end and the Officials missed many Oregon holding OL penalties.Of course that fumble on their second drive probably cost OSU another touchdown.
OSU got spoiled over the 6yr period we had the Bosa Brothers and Chase Young. The recent Buckeyes have lots of superstars on the offensive side of the ball but the defense has merely lots of good players, not great players. And Jim Knowles defensive schemes are becoming glaringly questionable?
FACT!
Ryan needs to get Knowles and LJ together in a meeting room and hash everything out. This is now on Day - if these guys aren't willing to compromise they both need to be done. This will be on Ryan's head until he gets it figured out. I thought Chip had a good game plan, but penalties killed us.
Burke was beat 3 times on 3rd and long. Period.
Will Howard didn't give up 32 points
The lack of a pass rush, whether scheme, performance, or both is just absurd at this point. This defense has the personal to truly be elite, yet in every big game the completely fall apart.
“I don’t think that that was an OPI.” 😮 Could there even be a more obvious OPI? The defender almost fell on his back. Then, not a word about the worst call in the game which was the wrong call on the obvious interception. That bad call was worth 7 points but we don’t want to talk about that. The problem here fellas is that most of us can’t accept the fact that we all believed the hype. “OSU has better receivers.” Nope - UO receivers were superior. “OSU has better running backs.” Nope - UO had more rushing yards. “OSU has a better coaching staff.” Nope - OSU was out coached and had more penalties. On and on. OSU didn’t leave any points on the field whereas UO left lots of points on the field. The score could have been much worse. Ryan Day is a very good coach and OSU IS one the best teams in the country. But the truth is that UO was a better team on Saturday. We would better served to just admit it and move on so we can progress.
D line wasnt there all night last night, Coaching was crap, Ward lost millions, knowles didnt help him out any. coach chip gotta remember hes in the big 10, 1st on their 28, with time on the clock, run the damn ball . TUN did it against USC and won their damn game. TUN did it for the past 3 years and has decimated us. Run the damn ball. 1st and 10 on the 28. 3 passes. then a run slide. lol getting paid millions
I agree , ball at the 28 yard line...easy FG from there but no , chip takes a high risk throw to Smith & paid for it with a Loss of 20+ yards ...STUPID ! ...run up the middle spot the ball & kick the damn thing for the W.....Stupid as hell
Ohio State has an Oregon problem.
Dear Buckeye fans, if we hit a field goal at the end and won, you will still have felt almost as bad…the D let this team down. So the task is the same learn and move on, all the teams goals are still out there to be had.
Sports are always full of ifs.... if this , if that..... There are lots of bad calls that went against Oregon as well
Stop: hyping the team up every year to be invincible
gushing about how "talented" the team is
underestimating opponents
making excuses after losses
making absurd, wildly unrealistic predictions
the entire culture of this podcast reflects entitlement, comfort and presumption.
I’m sorry, but Smith 100% pushed off and that OPI call was correct. Regardless of how it was officiated prior. He created 5+ yards of separation immediately. I don’t care how athletic you are, you’re not doing that without pushing off. Let’s not forget, Ohio State was blessed with 7 points on the opening drive because the refs didn’t review the interception. Both teams made mistakes and honestly Oregon made more of them. Had Oregon played a clean game and the refs got the interception call correct that last series wouldn’t have even mattered. Can’t wait to see these teams playing again at the end of the year
Austin, "Ohio State lost the game more than Oregon won it." - Reality, "Ohio State should have lost by 8+ after getting a gifted 7 pts on the 1st drive after an Oregon interception not reviewed, missed field goals, extra pt, 2 pt conversions."
It's time to DOMINATE every team u play moving forward to let the country know that we lost the game and Oregon didn't beat us...the onside kick was a fluke but also genius
not going to lie oregon shit whipped that OSU paper tiger roster with 500 yards of offense and left 23 points on the field yall should have been blown tf out and this shouldnt be a convo if yall meet again i believe oregon will expose ohio state once more by a much larger margin probably beating yall in the B1G by 2 scores
They are not going to dominate everyone. Not enough fire, toughness, or mental discipline. They don't even practice tackling. The culture is not serious enough.
~ Fluke? Lol.. Oregon should if of won by at least 10
That offensive pass interference call was blatant and legit. Just because it's the final moments of a big game doesn't mean the rules go out the window. Smith shoved off, full extension, with both hands, at the top of his route. Easy call, everytime. The Buckeyes were already gifted a horrible no call in that first quarter interception that lead to 7 points. Now you're crying you didn't get another bail out by the officials? Oregon won the game despite the refs, not because of them.
I agree with everyone about the defense but this is what the defense has been since Knowles has gotten to Columbus. Great against inferior teams and outmatched against talent equivalent teams. Just what it is. OSU had the ball with 1:45 left and again couldn’t get it done offensively. So frustrating. Clock management from head coach and senior QB was so bad. That can be fixed but the Josh Simmons’s injury might be our undoing. Hope I am wrong. Go Bucks!
As an Oregon fan. OSU has to fire Ryan Day. You guys clearly had a talent advantage on the field. Coaching was the problem. Never gonna when a national championship when you have a coach that’s 1-7 in the big games
Definitely not time to panic but time seriously reevaluate how we play. If it’s true we don’t tackle in practice… it makes sense we missed so many of them.
It's true
That was clearly offensive p.i. on Jeremiah. The audacity to call that an officiating controversy when OSU got away with multiple muggings on Evan Stewart and Ferguson. Smh..
Not to mention the 7 points the refs flat out gave you on the first drive missing that obvious interception.
I thought the TE had it sliding. He was down. LB got it after he was down.
@@mvc1959 not even close to controlling it 😂😂
@@mychalowens127 it should have been ruled incomplete. they were both bobbling it and their butts went down. Cant believe many are saying it was an INT. They dont seem to understand that when their butts hit down the play is over if neither had complete control. A lot of people dont understand the rules.
@@andrewmueller9986 hahaha. The ball never hit the ground. It doesn't matter if their butts are on the ground.😂
@@mychalowens127 yes it does. If one player is down, say, he fell down, is untouched, he can catch the ball. If TWO guys are battling, it's different. One of them has to secure it before they go down. you cant have two guys down and the one the comes up with it award the catch to (unless he was the only one to control it the whole time). think back to ruling at the end of the VT Miami game. it's similar to that.
It was a great game, and both teams played well. Super happy Oregon is now in the B1G. Match-ups like Oregon vs Ohio State are priceless! The OSU fans a Autzen were passionate, and I was impressed with the ones near us. Go Ducks! 🦆
James L. Has skated all season with the play of the LBs. Sonny got abused in the run game and Knowles called a bad game
Zach was so on point on all the comments. Will was a stud in this game. He was told he needed 10-15 yds to be in field goal range. He did everything he could to get those yds! He started the slide with 1 sec left so if the coaches were on the ref for the timeout, maybe on review we could have got a sec back. Would have been a different outcome.
With this defense,I think beating Michigan is the reason for the season now.
In the last 6 games against teams ranked in the top 5 at the end of the year, we are 0-6 plus Oregon Saturday, The defense has allowed an average of 40.5 points, 501 yards, created only 0.5 TO's, only 1 sack and only 3 TFL per game. That is failure at all levels and dates back to the Bama loss.
I think they played a heck of a game. Both offense and defense. Listening to it on OSU broadcast Paul was saying that it look like Jack was getting up set with the officiating crew for not calling holding. I think most teams get away with holding against the buckeyes and pass interference too.
THE PENALTIES ON THE OFFENSE. THE BAD TACKLES / OUT OF POSITION AND LACK OF PRESSURE BY DEFENSE. SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AGAINST GOOD TEAMS.
When are people going to start talking about Wil Howard not being able to throw the ball deep? He's constantly under throwing the deep ball. He finally completed one last week against Iowa and they tackled Smith because Howard under threw that one too. Most of his long passes were from slants or screens taken to the house. All that experience Howard was supposed to have didn't show up on Saturday either. They didn't seem to pressure Gabriel enough either. It's also funny we have all these DBs but QBs always seem to find their receivers in zone coverage. None of the blitzes seem to get there on time either although I don't think they tried more than 3 or 4 of them the whole game. Knowles defense is good at stopping bad and okay offenses but not good enough to stop good ones. Knowles needs to recognize when his front 4 isn't getting enough pressure early enough in the game and start blitzing more often. At least then when the other team makes a good play they had to fight for it.
Understandably there was no pass rush or even quarterback pressures throughout the entire game. That being said, there is no excuse for Ward to be torched that bad. The one play he got burned badly on was a great stop and go on the receivers part. The others he just got beat period. Let's call it what it is. He is not a first round pick in the NFL draft. If he was it possible first round projection that got thrown out the window on Saturday night. Ryan Day has 2 weeks to sort this out. If the rumors are true and there's dissension among the coaching ranks on the defensive side of the ball. Decisions need to be made by Coach Day. There were no stunts at all in this game. That is coach Johnson in a nutshell. The biggest of all problems in my opinion is coach Knowles. His substituted pass rush theory needs to be shut down. There was one play where all four defensive linemen came out of their stance and went backwards while two people came from the back are the defense to rush the quarterback. I think everyone would agree that if this defense plays to its potential, this team will not lose another game. There is still time. But this decision needs to be made before the Nebraska game when it comes to the rift between the defensive coaches.
Zach is 100 percent right. RJT OSU 66 (Veteran).
Howard played great. They were asking him to be nearly perfect in the last 6 seconds. If any critique I’d say throw a ball somewhere and give somebody a chance and take the TO. Easier said than done but I thought you have to throw it somewhere.
I said this same stuff after we played Marshall. If it wasn't for them losing their QB you would of seen what I seen but your listeners said I was wrong. I seen it.
With all the ups and downs that happened to both teams throughout the game, it ultimately came down to Kelly and Day failing to do what 99.999999% of experienced coaches would've done with 34 seconds left on the clock, having reached the ORE 28: get your big-boy package in there, run the ball with your trusted backs for several plays, bleed the clock, then make an easy, GW-ing, 35-yd FG, a gimme. OSU gets out of Dodge with a 34-32 win. After JJ Smith's OPI, the play-by-play commentator said all OSU needs to do is get to the ORE 30, failing to mention OSU had been even closer than that three plays prior, but Kelly and Day inexplicably kept passing instead of putting the ball on the ground and ground-and-pounding.
Oregon fan here . This was the biggest game in Eugene as far as I know. This game could've went either way. Officiating Zack you talk about the officiating the last second of the quarterback been down. Why are you not talking about that gifted touchdown in the first drive of a clearer turnover on officiating
I’m a lifelong osu fan. That said, what we are saying about the pi on Jeremiah smith, though perhaps technically correct, is not normally called in that situation. That is what Miami fans said in 2002.
Ward needs to start respecting other teams. OSU isn't as good as we thought.
Good point Austin, I believe also that OSU beat them self.
@@chrisl507lmfaoooo Ohio States defense is ass
Oregon allowed 31 at there stadium, two very overrated teams who couldnt stop a runny nose.
Texas is gonna skull fuck either team 🤣. Thats okay though Oregon already won there natty, thats why they rushed the field 😂
@@chrisl507 Go wiggle your ears! Howard played great! Shove it!
This loss would be easier to digest if we didn’t lose our LT for the year
Brutal loss at a position we couldn’t lose anyone. Then we lose an all American LT. not good
By the time Day’s contract is up, he’s going to take this program back to the batter’s box from 3rd base
Wasn’t the only time the defense stopped Oregon, they blitzed? Then they quit blitzing again.
Im a huge, lifelong Buckeye fan, and saying this actually hurts. But when are fans going to realize this....WE JUST ARE NOT TALENTED ENOUGH TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. PERIOD. Just because everyone came back for their senior year, doesn't mean that the talent level changed. It's still the same senior class that has yet to beat Michigan, gave up 42 to Georgia, and has LOST every big game they've EVER PLAYED IN. This team will without a doubt, without a question, lose at Penn St, which knocks them out of the BIG10 championship game. However, they still might make the playoffs, but it will FOR SURE be one and done. This team cant hang with any of the Great teams in the country. They'd get beat by Oregon, Penn St, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Miami, Clemson and probably Boise St. No way this defense could stop or slow down that RB. We're just not good enough. So much for this $20 million roster lol. Only Ryan Day and the Buckeyes could blow this situation.
the biggest problem that I have heard no one say anything about it. Not that Howard didn't get down in time. It's how did they let the clock get down to 10 secs ? 30 seconds ran off the clock after the PI with no one noticing until Howard caught it at 10 seconds?
How did Ohio State lose the game more than Oregon won it? Ohio State was gifted a touchdown on their first drive that should’ve been a turnover. Oregon missed an easy field goal, botched an extra point and missed on a two point conversion.
Look what Northwestern and Purdue did on Saturday.
It's going to be Ohio State vs Oregon is the B1G TItle game. The addition of the teams to the conference really makes it like the SEC over many years. Lose a reg season game, meet them with bigger stakes in the conference title game with a little story line involved :) After the Rival is taken out. BOTH OF THEM! Penn St and tttun.
Nebraskas QB will have the game of his career vs osu. Love to see what nick saban could do with this roster. We need this bye week to figure out the left tackle situation along with defense
It's tiring being so good but not quite good enough to get the job done. Seems like we've been here for a decade now.
The glaring issues have to be addressed. No more waiting around. Cut bait.
Same issues as the past 3 seasons, same results to come. All the seniors on the defensive side that came back to help their draft stock or to win a chip let the whole team down, and it’s not the first time it’s happened with these guys. Jim Knowles and Larry Johnson both need to be on the hot seat
Sometimes we see offensive coordinators call on players for specific roles/plays, but yet on defense we generally limit that substitution to a "rushmen package" or a "nickle or dime substitution." How come we never see a specific DL and LB substitution where they are sent into run a specific stunt or blitz on defense? Where is the creativity?
The muffed snap was big. Up six with a conversion on 3rd and 3 and they likely go up two scores. Was huge... Last drive he just missed JJ down the side line. A little more accurate and easy score and win. Didn't miss by much.
Whaaaaaah! Ohio State got a free 7 points on the first drive because the interception was called a completion. Hey, this game is fun! Am I doing it right?
Waaaaaaa, Oregon defense gave up 476 yards and 31 points! Is that right?🧐
If you are going to call out the PI which I agree was questionable and shouldn’t have been called in that stage of the game…you have also got to acknowledge the interception that wasn’t called on Ohio States opening drive. Some bad calls on both sides. It was a wash…
I know one thing, a lot of these returning players are not getting a 1st round phone calls.
Denzel Burke (before): 🦸♂️
Denzel Burke (After): 😞
The offensive lines were going to determine this game. Oregon offensive line outplayed the OSU offensive line. Coaches lost all confidence in the O line to help them make a play. First down at the 28 yrd line with 34 seconds left and a time out and you don't run the ball at least two more times to get to the 20 yard line? The kicker had already made a 40 plus field goal in this game. Instead you pass the ball and get an OPI. If the coaches would have had confidence in the O line, they would have ran the ball and iced this game. The Oregon O line won this game for them. They neutralized the DL line and it allowed Gabriel to cook.
If a defense cannot stop the run, and cannot tackle, there's fundamental problems. These issues are not getting solved this year Fundamental problems are not solved in week 7 of the season. .
Word is Knowles isn't able to run his full defense scheme because of Larry Johnson. I would like to see this Jack position used...
That first drive was a fluke should’ve been an interception and Oregon’s ball. The better team won this game.
I dont think that anyone else on OSU schedule is capable of doing what Oregon did... I'm not sure they could do it again... that isnt my main concern going forward. My worry is that the OL will struggle because of the issues at LT. Something on the DL has to change they absolutely MUST get pressure If you have to bring more you have to live with the consequences but this lack of getting to the QB is SURE way to lose
Coaching blew it in the end. On the Oregon 28 yard line, 34 seconds left and one time out... No run? What about spread them out... then draw??? Kick the FG from the 20-25 yard line. That said... the defense was atrocious. The Oregon OL stoned our DL and rush. Total garbage.
we can blame the Dline all we want, how long was it from snap to release? 1st half was the worst zone coverage I have ever seen. 3 0r 4 deep with underneath getting no depth, that equals windows as big as barn doors. Then they get chewed out and start manning up, so they get caught on their heels wanting to jump routes and get burned on double moves.
Day will not win a NC at Ohio St. He's a pass happy first guy. He craps his pants in big games. Never seen a coach with so much talent do so little. Time to move on if this goes any further south. That's just the bottom line and the puffer boys can cry now. Oh yeah he's ah not an OHIO guy
I’m almost sad I criticize Day constantly. Almost
Kudos to Zach Boren - He gets it right when many other commentators gloss over. The main Defense problem is the line. Any decent QB will complete passes if given as much time as Oregon QB had Saturday night. Plus JT totally missed contain on the Gabriel rushing TD that was as bad as any Burke play. Agree with those who say Day must get Jim Knowles and Larry Johnson in a room and figure it out. Also, LB’s have to play better. Too many gap misses and missed tackles.
I blame Jim K. That’s where we need to start good players are there. Looks to me there was no planning
Complaining about the referees is so cringey. Ohio State was gifted a TD on their first drive when they took away an interception from Oregon.
The defense needs to be more aggressive
Oregon's offense is killer good. They are dangerous in space. Our defense has to learn how to shut down an offense of this caliber. There are not many of this quality in the country...maybe Texas, Tennessee (on a good day), maybe UGA, and perhaps a few others. If our defense can get better an shutting down offenses of this caliber than we can win it all in the end. But our secondary was exposed. Is it speed? Is it scheme? We definitely need more pressure on the QBs.
Why are Austin and Zach ignoring the obvious? I seriously question their BuckIQ. This has absolutely nothing to do with JJ Smith's OPI or with Will Howard running the ball on the last play. (Btw, the clock had not reach zero before he'd given himself up.) The reason why OSU lost is because Kelly and Day failed to run the ball after reaching the ORE 28.
ORE did not win the game; OSU lost it, or rather Kelly and Day did. Kelly and Day should've run the ball after reaching the ORE 28, bled the clock, then had Fielding, who'd successfully kicked a 40-yd FG earlier in the game, kick an even more makeable 30- or 35-yd, GW-ing FG. Game over. Game won. Job done.
Why did Kelly and Day not do what 99.99999999% of competent coaches have and would've done without even thinking about it?
Adding west coast teams to the B1G might not have been the best thing. Long travel was normal for them, and has hindered them from everything from recruiting to tv coverage. The B1G added the best Pac12 schools, where pretty much each of those schools can beat anybody on a given day.
Having said that, chin up. Your season ain’t over
3 things 1. Need Pressure 2.Need some damn pressure 3. Need some gd pressure. Of
Howard also made horrible mistakes at the WORST……POSSIBLE….MOMENTS. And, he still has obscene accuracy issues, with hitting guys in stride. So, I’m not about to put this loss on Howard, but he DAMN-sure played his part in losing this game. This team got outplayed, and out-coached. It’s the same undisciplined, unprepared, soft, SLOP we’ve seen for 4yrs. We had a ball taken out of the hands of two players, one of which wasn’t even hit. And, one was an interception that the refs completely missed taking away the first 7pts we scored. I don’t ever remember a time when this team underperformed this bad, while having this much talent. And, given Day spent $20million on this roster, there shouldn’t be ANY depth issues.
What about the first drive where bassa clearly gets the interception and didn't even look at it
Honestly, I dont think Oregon is playing at an elite level. Not yet. Oregon and Ohio State both have things to work on.
I think Ohio State has a higher ceiling than does Oregon, but right now I don't have much confidence in the coaching to make the changes needed.
Really disappointed in Knowles/Johnson and this defensive line. With how they play defense, it feels like they're making it harder than it needs to be, like they're playing with one hand tied behind their back.
The lack of stunts and twists up front, along with a coordinated blitz, make them easy to block. It feels like they're trying to win on talent alone instead of using a coordinated attack.
D had no pass rush secondary was takin apart. To many turnovers and clock management gaffs.
So by your guys’ logic Oregon, Georgia, Bama defenses all need come to Jesus moments too right? They’ve all given up 30 plus points in big games.
In this game along Oregon defense gave up pretty much the same amount of yards OSU’s did.
Crazy how 1 point makes one team elite and the other with “issues”
2 great teams played a great game and the home team scored 1 more point
Wasn’t Jim Leonard available when OSU hired Knowles?
Oregon has three tough games remaining in the regular season. They could lose any or several of them.
I'm not worried about the Buckeyes. It was a one point loss, and they always give 100 % Go Buckeyes !
