The defense played like a bunch of slow, plodding, mentally soft, gutless pussies in the second half. For the last 10 years, this program has hung their hat on lockdown defense. That's not at all what I saw tonight or for most of this season.

My, how far we've fallen...
Assuming the NCAA decides to stop being a bunch of fucking toolbags, hopefully the citations won't be bad enough to keep a prominent coach away from the program to take the spot from an undeserving and overmatched Luke Fickell. The Buckeyes need to recruit HARD for a reliable, explosive quarterback. Thank goodness Joe Bauserman won't be able to foul up this program anymore after this year.

And even without Sullinger, Matta has basically turned OSU into a consistent basketball power.

Wait til you see your #3 ranked Ohio State men's basketball team, complete with a returning Jared Sullinger. Just gotta hold out til the season starts.

Toughen...up?
Having him in hobbled would have been worse than having Bauserman in, prolly.

The TV guys were saying he had tears in his eyes coming off the field. Now, if it turns out he has torn ligaments and is done for some time, I'll take this back. But if it's a simple rolled ankle..sorry, but that isn't something to be teary eyed over.
It looks like they flat gave up even while leading. Nebraska doesn't have team speed. They weren't running anything fancy. The defense just looked flat and uninspired. Like they knew Bauserman was going to dick things up sooner or later, so they just laid down and gave it away.
Giving up a big play or two is one thing, but getting marched on by Nebraska time after time just can't happen. Even if they were tired, it can't happen.
You just have to hope this staff doesn't do too much damage and scare off too many future recruits before this season can mercifully end. I thought for years that Tressel was covering for a bunch of mid tier coordinators and position coaches, but these guys appear far worse than even I thought. Almost unfathomable that they can so consistently play to the weaknesses of a guy in Bauserman that they have known for going on 20 years. Every time he comes in to the game, they seem to call it like he is Tom Brady. When these guys tagged him as the starter going in to the season I knew things were going to be ugly. Being unable to evaluate talent happens to be only the tip of the iceberg for what they do poorly.
