- Pick/market: There are losses I get over and some I don’t.

- Pick/market: I agree Wilder should have definitely played more.

- Pick/market: Manning played well enough in the first half to warrant a much closer game than 23-3...he missed on some passes sure but he sure made some great throws that his WR normally would have...

- Pick/market: Ryan has always been pretty good at fixing what’s broken as long as he acknowledges that it’s broken in the first place.

- Pick/market: The object of the game is to guess the MOST selected answer of your peers.

- Pick/market: College football’s most carefully guarded secret is the amount of money flowing to the players on each roster.

- Pick/market: “He had to win from Day 1 .“ What you leave out is that it was far easier for him to win from Day 1.

- Pick/market: the upshot of this whole discussion is, LB play is not what it needs to be, but we're not quite sure how to address it.

- Pick/market: I’ve been since probably Monday.

- Pick/market: I admire him for sticking to his theme.

- An anonymous former Power Four coach attributes Texas' second-half turnaround to a heavier three-DT front, more press man and five-man pressures. Ohio State's Julian Sayin went from 12-of-16 to 5-of-16 passing and OSU from 5-of-8 to 1-of-6 on third down. The account links the change to denying Jeremiah Smith free releases, not to an announced permanent Texas scheme.

- Injury: He is still trying to to get healthy but he missed valuable reps with injuries so far

- Injury: Yesterday, Ryan Day met with the media one last time before the Buckeyes take on Kent State on Saturday.

- QB: That humans actually think this tells me we should be extinct.

- QB: If the QB takes off right up the middle instead of throwing off his back foot.

- QB: I was once called an idiot on here for claiming Joe Burrow was better than Haskins and UM screwed the pooch.

- QB: Sayin mussed some passes, but there were 3rd down drops that absolutely killed us.

- QB: we all know why, because they are a bottom three organization in all of professional sport.

- QB/OL: Our OL, QB, DE, WRs, safety, and our 25 year old RB all say “Hi”.

- QB/LB: We have to start expecting him to make plays when there is nothing.

- QB: I like Sayin, but he has not been good in matchup games so far.

- QB: Day does not have that killer instinct...he proved that today.

- QB/OL: You need to be able to rely on the OL to control the line of scrimmage and give the Qb time to set his feet.

- QB/WR: You’re just not understanding the concept of open WR that the QB should be throwing to but didn’t for some reason.

- QB/OL: If it isn't possible, there's quite a lower ceiling than anticipated on what this team can achieve.

- QB: Well the QB has to stop trying to force it and take what they give you.

- QB: You could actually make an argument that Ohio State should've run the ball on every play in the 4th quarter.

- QB/TE: depending on the play and the routes, JJ may not be the primary read.

- QB/OL: After rewatching the game I realized the Oline played well.

- QB/OL: Ryan Patrick Day can be replaced, and the Ohio State coaching job isn't harder vs TX, BAMA, MI, GA, etc.

- Pick/market: WOW, I am sorry but Julian Sayin can't play QB under pressure.

- QB: I couldn’t find a shorter video but go to the 5:29 mark in the video.

- Pick/market: Bad losses for sure, yet no one on here tried to minimize them by dragging Tressel’s failures into the discussion like some on here have desperately tried to do to do over the last...

- OL/TE: We need to see if our OL has better starter options.

- RB: Never said Legend was a starter.

- In Tuesday's press conference, Ryan Day said DE Zion Grady's and OT Phillip Daniels' injuries were not expected to be long-term, but their availability for Kent State depended on how the week progressed. Neither was cleared to play in that update. - Day said Ohio State completed only two of 12 second-half passes at Texas and needs to involve receivers beyond Jeremiah Smith while establishing a more consistent run game. Several concepts began with Smith before progressing elsewhere. Day attributed the lost rhythm to shared quarterback, receiver, protection and coaching execution, not Julian Sayin alone. - Ohio State misidentified some protections and allowed free rushers against Texas, although Day thought the line handled many twists and movements adequately. A nine-yard loss followed by a sack also damaged one red-zone possession. Protection identification and avoiding negative plays are specific issues to track before assuming the scoring problems are corrected. - Day said Ohio State did not generate enough late pressure on Arch Manning, including poor execution when it attacked on fourth down. He wants ways to involve young defensive lineman Khary Wilder and said linebacker Riley Pettijohn will continue to play more. Those are rotation-development plans, not announced new starters or a fixed blitz package. - Day wants Joe McGuire's placement punts to pin opponents near their goal line rather than leave the ball around the 15. He said inadequate execution could mean going for fourth downs instead, and acknowledged an opportunity for greater aggression on a later fourth down in Texas territory. No blanket fourth-down policy or punter change was announced.

- Carney emphasized that Ohio State's receiving threat extends beyond Jeremiah Smith, singling out freshman Chris Henry as another major challenge. He said defending the group would require a collective effort; this was opposing-coach scouting, without a disclosed coverage solution for Kent State.

- OL: Art/Day need to stick to what this OL is best at : Inside zone and gap scheme/counter.

- QB/KICKER: I saw no pressure - coverage was disciplined, but I saw no pressure when we passed on the FG in the first half I said to my friend that we might regret that Can’t...

- Intel: McCuin was open on the RPO and so were other guys throughout the game.

- OL/DB: I don’t think the call was bad — not like we had great success with slants — JJ one on one is good bet for a big gain, six, or an interference (a flag...

- DL: Great post, I'm still holding out SOME hope that Russaw has more juice than he showed on Saturday and there was some rust being knocked off I do remember TX writers when he transferred...

- Defense: We are guarding air in zone coverage

- OL/TE: Yesh in saw that 100% bet that was a Art Smith push.

- TE: That’s actually a on pace for similar year as Travis Kelses senior year at UC

- TE: I don't know why they keep trotting him out on running downs.

- OL: No they haven’t hit keep pushing the same be in every argument trying to turn everything into it’s all on oline not the big picture.

- OL: This game shouldn’t tell much and if it does, that would be sad.

- Pick/market: never seen anything like it two three & outs killed us 4th & 9 and 4th & 6 killed us not making a clutch FG killed us offense, defense, and special teams collapsed.

- TE/LB: Ryan Day views the TE as an extension of the O line.

- TE: An athletic pass catching TE in theory would help this team in short yardage and in the redzone, but even when we have them, we never call plays for them.

- OL/DL: O-line will be Elite by the year .

- DL: The encouraging talk about eddrick in camp gave hope about the DL.

- LB/DB: He is good, but not the best safety in our history though.

- LB: You clearly missed the point since you are so defensive of Ryan Day.

- DB: This and this was the play to bell that he drippped hit was wide open .

- OL: Played a lot of zone on defense and manning picked it apart when it mattered.

- Defense: They weren’t problem last night.

- QB: We always knew this defense was going to be a work in progress.

- DL/LB: I don’t think he’s JAG, but if anyone hoped he was going to be Williams or MacDonald then get used to disappointment — can and will have better 3Tech outings, but he needs help...

- DL: Agree 100% on the line stunts.

- Defense: That’s a great point Patrick.

- Intel: Hundred percent generally not been a finisher across his entire career Outside of the four game playoff stretch , and that’s really starting to look like it was a team that got fed up...

- Intel: They benefited fom having 2 to 3 more possessions per game than Sayin had.

- Intel: Don’t be Todd Monken saying Watson starts because he’s better at getting the team in and out of the huddle.

- Intel: This is a very honest Write Up and appreciate someone on the beat being tough on Day.

- Intel: I don’t get going for it on that 4th and 2 but then punting from their 39 yard line for 25 years in the second half from a similar down and distance.

- Intel: Pro tip, just ignore them when it comes to actual ball stuff.

- Intel: I agree with many of your points and pissed like most of us how we finished the game, but this is not one of them.

- LB: I know this is 20 hours past kickoff, but I appreciate LR asking the tough questions but I wonder what that truly means when it comes to the rubber meeting the road.

- Intel: Its the worst by far compared to all of the other networks.

- Intel: Silver lining, losses make you evaluate things deeper, if Pierces forced fumble gets recovered, people would have said he’s a hero.

- Intel: You’re on a message board for Ohio state football people are gonna talk about an all time collapse loss for more than 48 hours

- KICKER: I’d bring in a punter/ kicker every year from highschool ranks in addition to whatever I have on the roster.

- Intel: He was doing good with his limited opportunities here so yea, it’s not hard to believe if his role increased and another offseason of s&c and Arthur smith at OC, that he’d be good...

- Intel: you would be the first one bitching if he fumbled a kickoff

- Intel: The loss itself only bothered me for about 24 hours, and that was only because of how we imploded in a game we were controlling.

- Intel: After reading your poorly laid out post (which I disagree with), I think you need to lay off the sauce.

- Intel: At my age I don't worry much about weddings during football season.

- Intel: Angry football, famous names, and a curious championship connection.
