At least ND will lose.
Although it doesn’t help us much anymore, not like we need to worry about the BCS bid.
What...the...hell...is...going...on
We look flat out awful.

Would be nice to have as well.

"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
Que?
He isn’t so much a quarterback as he is a placeholder.
He hasn’t really done a lot. Even his throw to a wide open Posey was floated and underthrown.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
No picks though...
I thought he had thrown a pick at least in every Big Ten game
6/15 114?
Blame our offense. Pryor still sucks. His only “good” pass was still an arm punt.
I wouldn't say "good"
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
Huge play here.
We need something really good to happen, really soon.

I was hoping our D would return an INT for a TD...
Now I’m thinking I should stop fighting the cold-medicine induced nap.

So assuming we lose to MSU too, we’re 9-3 in the Outback? Who do we play… LSU?
Whoa, whoa, whoa
We’re not losing to Sparty.

Difference to be realistic and negative.
It’s obvious this team’s given up.

We're getting beat,
no need to look for a ref to blame. We’re just getting beat.
I'm not blaming the ref
But that shit was blatant.

on Pryor's run?
You have a different feed than me then. Because I didn’t see anything even close.
It was the play after
Odrick or whoever got upfield fast but got shoved in the back to allow the RB to get the corner on the sweep.

Sorry
missed that. I was still dwelling on the on before.
The reverse.

Doesn't matter any more.
Clark doesn’t have enough time for a 5 step drop and set. No time to throw down field anyway.
I don't think we've made one adjustment
offense or defense, for the entire game

Nothing like losing your two biggest games of the season..

Pryor's made the plays.
He really has. Whether it’s scrambling for a first down or converting some important 3rd downs, he’s been the better QB.

we made him look good
poor tackling
no pressure
bad angles
Probably true,
BUT, he’s also had the much more consistent line.

Kenney and Anderson
these dinosaurs need to go. Been saying this for years
Never did understand
why we needed two people to coach one offensive line.
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
and why neither one of them
could produce a good product
What an embarassment
OSU has dominated all phases. Still, why come out and play for the tie? When OSU is the more adventurous team, that is very weak.
play for the tie?
We have been getting beat from snap one. There is only so much you can do on offense when your line is getting this DOMINATED.
Play calling
This goes back to the TD. Pass, dive, dive, dive. Same sort of playcalling throughout. Throw us a bone, at least try something tricky. OSU will be up in your face at the line if you don’t change it up.
aOSU has been up in our face because they have been better than our line.
Playcalling was dictated by the domination, not vice versa.
chicken or egg
Both. It becomes a downward spiral. Lose the initial battle, go more conservatiove, then get handled even worse.
Honestly, the worst part isn’t the losses. Beaver Stadium is no longer invincible. We lost twice at home to lower ranked teams. That hasn’t happened in…a while or something

We go to the Outback bowl… who do we get? LSU? Alabama? We’re going to get slaughtered.

That’s his legacy. A very good, consistent QB. But not an elite one who makes plays in tough situations. Give him protection, though, and he’s efficient, at least.

But our offense is just bad. Our offensive line continues to be the liability. Any progression during the season has been minimal

it's like we wanted them to win
retribution for those t-shirts.
at least we beat the cupcakes and made money. thanks Penn State, Incorporated.
I'm already over it
if this ends up being a loss.
Let’s keep rolling. No losing of faith!
faith in what?
It’s the same every year…or so it seems
If we can go
10-2 heading into our bowl game, that means we’ll be averaging 10 wins a year since 2005. That is something to be proud of. IMO.
It's nice...,
but those loses always come in the big games.

It definitely does suck, but our recruiting classes coming ahead are pretty good. We will be even better than this.

I’m concerned we’ll be worse in 2011. We’ll be losing our entire LB corps, and I’m not seeing how our offense will be better with a brand new QB in Newsome.

I agree
We played the straight up run very well, however, we didn’t contain Pryor nor did we defend the pass. If Pryor was a good thrower, they would have had a couple of additional scores. Our pass d was pretty poor.

You know what - to hell with it!
I’m irrational very rarely during the football season, but games like this push me to the brink. So I ask you to please let me have my moment of irrational displeasure.
Sit Clark. I want Newsome. Not blaming Clark for the score right now, but this will be the best “garbage time” he’ll get this season.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

sounds like a Buckeye fan “Unhappy Valley”. How effing creative…

Maybe if the special teams
weren’t terrible, we’d only be down a TD or so. Field position has killed us. We’ve always been driving from inside the 20. Limits playcalling, and gives OSU an even greater edge at the LOS.
Our playcalling
was limited by our coaches, not by the field position

I love Joe but this is one of the games that has me looking forward to the future without him… a future where we won’t automatically turtle in big games with tough opponents, hoping that they’ll make mistakes. A future where we’ll have balls to actually try to win the game.
Then I remember that the next coach will probably be Bradley. Fuck.

Half on players, half on coaches. All around failure.
Our players just came out flat…stayed flat…and ended up getting laid flat. And it’s been a trend all. damn. season. They only got up for 2 offensive minutes against Iowa, the Michigan game, and one quarter against Northwestern. They just don’t have any heart.
