As bad as Osu’s loss was, and quite frankly I’m pretty sure it won’t be the only one this season, but at least it was in the West division on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done a remarkable job building that program back up, but he’s also taken absolutely horrible home losses during a time when the team appeared poised to take the next step.

Penalties, inability to run, poor OL play, unbalanced offense, giving up big plays on D, terrible back 7 awareness, etc. The loss of Bosa hurt a lot but it should never be that big of a difference given the depth they should have with their recruiting success. I place the loss squarely on coaching, and the blowout I place on lack of effort on D at the end. Lots of blame to go around, very little time to fix things in 2 weeks they said they were going to fix 2 months ago. Urban has assistants that were hired because they are his friends. They need to go. Schiano, studwara, Davis are 3 the main culprits. The issue is that I think urban is toast. He lacks the fire he had when he first got here. He looks tired, sick and disengaged.

But I like the optimism and know there is plenty of talent and skill at OSU right now, so let’s see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willyville Guy Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It took until November but it finally looks like Wade will start at Safety over Pryor. That should help even though I don’t think Pryor is that terrible. Bigger surprise is no changes at all on the OL even though the bench is stacked with young blue chip recruits.

I don’t know what the issue is with pryor but he’s worlds better than Jahsen Wint. I dont get why they insist on playing michael Jordan at Center. He was all big 10 as a G. We have other centers.

Not that he’s back. The most important month of the year, he was not there to lead the team. Some things slid. Since he came back, people who are close to the program have said, he has tried to really stay back more than he ever so as not to shake things up. He let Day and Schiano do all the game planning. He didn’t even look at film of the opponent until Wednesday of game week. I think (hope) with the bye week that he got everyone’s ***** together and he’s back running the show. Doesn’t mean i want to see qb runs, but I think he’s the leader they need. He didn’t forget how to coach overnight. His health issues are another story completely.

He didn’t forget how to coach overnight. His health issues are another story completely. Let’s leave the health issue alone for now. The offensive scheme was a mess heading into the bye week. Urban insists on running the ball based on reads out of the shotgun, which only works if there’s a threat of a QB run. Haskins won’t run; he seems to have regressed in that regard. So defenses collapse the zone read knowing that the QB will never keep it. Seems to me that the better move is to put Haskins under center and hand the ball off with an extra blocker back there to protect the RBs, but Urban won’t do it. Won’t even practice it. Ohio State is not a top ten team in my mind unless they sort out how to match a scheme with the incredible talent on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he pulled the coordinators off their recruiting trips (so you KNOW it’s serious) the monday after the Purdue game and they sat in a room for 12 hours to figure out how the run the ball. How hard can it be to figure this out? Was it 30 seconds and then they spent the other 11:59:30 convincing him to do it?

McCall came out of the witness protection program, but only briefly brendan White is a local kid who came here without a position. They’ve practiced him on offense and defense and he’s just been working to get on the field. Would love to see him play more even when fuller is back.
