Bucks @ Trojans

[mixman]

we're being outcoached, simple as that.

 

[GilbertForPres]

Our O-line has cost us 3 touchdowns today, on holding penalities.

 

[Chardon]

Were going to get mocked at. We can only(barely) beat weak opponents

 

[PIP]

Cupcakes are just bad for ya.....

You eat enough of them, you'll get fat....

You play enough of them, you'll get these performances...

 

[jjc58]

Time to make this respectable.

 

[GilbertForPres]

Another 3 and out with Boeckman at QB, time for more Pryor.

 

[PIP]

It's not a coincidence at all, the Buckeyes are frauds...

Overrated from the coach to the players...

 

[bigtyme]

This is not rocket science.

Pryor + yards
Boeckman - yards

Should let the kid play and establish a rhythm, maybe even throw two plays in a row in there....

This ones on Tressel.... And im a big Tressel fan.

Everybody turning on Ohio State and chalking this up as an easy USC W is the best thing that could happen to them. They have a week to hear about how bad they are and how much of a mismatch this is while USC has been hearing for two weeks how awesome they are for blasting a bottom of the barrel ACC team (and that is saying something this year).

Will be easy for the coaches to get through to the players after that ugly performance against OU. Coming in too confident and playing too conservative has been a major stumbling block for OSU in the last two NC games and both of those mistakes should be out the window now.

This is really setting up like the Miami game in 2002 and as a result, I like the Bucks' chances more and more with each passing day.

Care to comment on the reality of the game? I guess weak ACC opponents are better than the likes of Youngstown State or Ohio. Who would have thought it...

Atleast we know Pryor is a boss

I can't say the same for anybody else, Tressel is a nice guy and all....But i can't take no more of this shit..jeezzz

 

[bigtyme]

How about putting the best players on the field.....? The stubborn display by Tressel may have lost some potential recruits.

Who wants to prove they are clearly the best, and still not be given the opportunity to perform? Tressel not giving Pryor a chance to sustain a drive of his own shows this attitude. A blind loyalty to one can disrupt the cohesiveness of an entire unit.

In a team full of 19/20 somethings, losing the full effort of even a few can cause a dangerous spiral. Personally, I think every snap that Beanie and Pryor arent on the field together is a lil irresponsible.

 

[bigtyme]

where are all of the pissed off fans posting....?

 

[3 Da Hard Way]

Devier Posey

It would have been nice to see him get some play

I've been a huge Tressel fan from back when he was still coaching at YSU, but after this loss I have had all of him I can take. How an elite program like the Buckeyes can look so totally unprepared in three consecutive big games on a national stage is beyond me. First Florida, then LSU, now USC. All three times the Buckeyes haven't just been beaten: they've been HUMILIATED. It all comes down to coaching or lack thereof. We're talking about an Ohio State program that consistently ranks in the top 10 in recruiting excellence year in and year out and somehow our players aren't prepared to play against other really good teams in really important situations.

Has Tressel dominated Michigan? You betcha, but Michigan hasn't exactly been what you would call an elite team during the last 6 or 7 years.

Did Tressel win a National Championship in 2002-2003? Yes, thanks to a questionable call.

Am I grateful for those two accomplishments? Absolutely. But I'm also sick and tired of being absolutely embarrassed on national television the last three times my team has played. I'm a die-hard fan, which means that I bleed scarlet and gray and I probably care more than I should. And that's really what makes it so difficult.

Wake up call to Buckeye fans...anytime they play a good team, they lose.

It's easy to rack up 10+ wins when you play Lake Erie College, Youngstown Technical School of Arts, etc...etc.. but when the real test comes, they fold and get embarrassed.

It's time for the ranking system to show where this team really is and that should be unranked.

They played the fourth quarter with their scrubs and the Buckeyes still couldn't score.

If you can't move the ball on the backups of USC, who can you beat?

I put this on Tress the Vest as well, because the talent is there. But refusing to learn how to stop a wide open passing attack and playing conservative on offense is holding that team back. The talent is there, not the coaching though.
