Defense played well. Offense, outside of Bo and our star receivers were disappointing. But coaching was atrocious. Should've gone for the fg on that failed 4 and 1 attempt or at least put Luke in. Sayin just ain't got the build for the trenches. Im not discouraged at all. Indiana deserved to win cuz their coach was better. On to the playoffs.

Horrible showing by our offense. Right side was getting bullied for most of the game and Ryan never adjusted consistently for quicker passes/routes.

Too many long-developing plays and Sayin looking for his safety valves deep to make a play.

Going back to last year even with better running backs, our power sets are just off against comp. This team is literally built for spread and zone running, but our refusal to run handoffs out of an actual shotgun, or run any passes from under center severely limits what we can do.

Our defense held one of the best offenses in the country to 13 points. Even though we gave up some big plays and had some dumb penalties, we still should have won the game.

This game somehow left a worst taste in my mouth than the game against Michigan last year :francis:
Literally the same damn outcome

Day & Hartline, lol. Letting the defense down yet again. All kinds of weirdo shyt in this game from the formations, to personnel, not going for it, to the play calls when going for it, startin' that bum on the right side of the line again.....just a master class of coaching with a stick up ya ass (again).

Let's hope the players checc his ass again before the playoffs.

Oh, and Maine got COOKED. I don't wanna hear nothing from him til we raise that trophy again.
Mathews gotta redeem himself in the playoffs lol. I'm sure he will.

I think this game was the entire program finally understanding this Indiana team is the real deal. Seems like the coaches just rolled the ball out trying to do what they do, instead of individuallly scheming against the Hoosers.

Hartline might have to go because he's going to have to work 10x harder in the playoffs than he did this week and I don't think he can do it while attached to USF job. And honestly I haven't been impressed by him all season. I think he will get exposed against high quality opponents

Rewatched the game. Man sayin really played his worst football. There so many instances where he just came up short literally.

He underthrew jj where it could've been an easy touchdown. That 4th and 1 sneak was just abysmal but I will put the fault on the coaches.

That second hand start drive after bo ran 20+ yards, dude held on the ball way too long and got wrecked which negated any momentum.

And the playaction in the red zone where you throw it to our blocking tight end? Wtf!

Point is, the coaching staff did not respect indianas defensive prowess and assumed sayin would have all the time. Hartline got his ass plastered on that summer jam screen by indianas dc.

Those bubble screens and flea flickers? Even indy stopped that shyt after the int. We definitely have the better talent, but was marred by questionable coaching decisions and a qb who looked like first year starter.

I miss having a black or legit dual threat qb :mjcry:

Yep. Defense was its usual self other than Mathews giving up that late pass. Two drives for 151 yards and get inside the 10, but resulted in zero points, was the difference. Mostly disappointed only because we’re OSU and I want us to win every game, but otherwise it’s on to the playoffs.

We all knew that the offensive line was suspect all season and it got exposes yesterday. Defense can only do so much and Sayin just didn't have it along with suspect play calling at times. I knew that OSU needed a game like this to show their weakness in order to fix it and now they have 3 weeks to get things right before the playoffs. Losing the B1GCG sucks but it's not a major factor anymore and I would rather have the scUM victory and a NC title than the conference. Let Indy have it and have they asses kissed for about a month. OSU plays better pissed off and they should be after last night. Plus we lose to the 2nd ranked team while we was #1 by 3 points. Noting to completely down on where there is hope for the biggest prize of them all.

We have almost a month to either get Padilla healthy or Vansickle ready to play. Tegra is just so inconsistent until he’s pushed. He was about to lose his job, then bam he plays well against UCLA and Rutgers and then has probably his best game ever against scUM. Gets praised, everybody stops talking about rotating in another RG or him losing his job altogether, and then he loses his edge again and has a bad game.
