It's Miller Time at the 'Shoe

Braxton Miller has his first Troy Smith moment, after having his Terrelle Pryor moment, and all of it was necessary after an epic choke by OSU's prevent defense. But all's well that ends well, and so now we can enjoy this...

Winning a Grammy is of no moment whatsoever. Like what you like, but an award from the Grammy's or an Oscar or a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer isn't worth the paper it's written on.

I'm a huge Black Keys fan.  Been hip to them ever since a friend from Akron turned me on to them just after Thickfreakness was realeased.  First saw them live in Brussels during their Rubber Factory tour.  But I agree with you.  This track might be my least favorite from them.  Love how hard they rep Ohio, though.

I can't stress though how important that new offensive staff thing is

I don't know if Gene is smart enough to do it but he needs to issue an ultimatum: new guys on that side of the ball or I'm placing a call to the Meyer residence

bucknut3011's picture
bucknut3011 on 30 Oct 2011 - 12:00am #

Yup.  And if Fickell really wants this to be his team, that's the biggest, most definitive step towards doing that.  If he can be resolute on that fact, it should be his.  Not sure it's Meyer, but it definitely says he knows what his strengths are, and where his team's weakness is, and he's prepared to make the difficult decisions.

Ethan's picture
Ethan on 30 Oct 2011 - 12:41am #

I love Fickell, and I hope he succeeds wherever he ends up after this year, be it at OSU or elsewhere, but I think he needs to win out to even get considered for the HC position moving forward. 

That being said, the defensive side of the ball looks legit. And with Braxton coming into his own, it's exciting to think what a strong offensive staff could produce

Getting the plays in early has been key! Watching his eyes scan back and forth slowly and intently shows he's really using his thinking-cap before he gets started.

 

Very good from him tonight with no big-negative plays and no picks or fumbles.  Oh, and a few big plays here and there!

The coaches dream: scenario huge win, yet numerous "teaching moments," especially for the young defense. The pups in the secondary have outstanding talent, but obviously they still gets lost at times. 

Aside from the breakdowns at the end, Heacock deserves a lot of credit. He basically had to reconstruct the defense when Nathan Williams went down.

Ohhh... Braxton is growing up right in front of our eyes.  The composure, the improvisation, the leadership,...  Wow!  His teammates are starting to feed from his leadership.  Did you see them around him on the sideline?  Awesome.

Has a hell of a strong arm too.  He'll need to work on touch next.  He's too strong at times when he doesn't need to be.  But still... he's growing.  Let's get him ready for scUM.

osukdawg76's picture
osukdawg76 on 29 Oct 2011 - 11:54pm #

He's got three and a half years to continue to grow.  This offense is starting to figure things out, and the defense is looking like a veteran unit, save for a couple of DERP moments (Prevent defense can lick my nutsack) here and there.  John Simon is an absolute monster.

 

89 rushing yards for Wisconsin.  Even in my worst acid-induced hallucinations...never did I think we would hold them to under 100 yards rushing.

I, for one, welcome our new coaching overlords.

If USC can answer with their own TD in this 1st OT period, they should go for 2 to win it right then.

I've never written Fickell out like others have.  That being said, I haven't written him in, either, but I'm hoping he passes the tests and gets the job.  It's still in a position where I think we need to evaluate it at the end of the year -- we don't have enough data yet.  Let's see how he handles the Michigan game.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I like our chances to win out.  At the beginning of this season, I predicted a 9-3 regular season.  After the Nebraska game, I thought there was no chance any more.  But now I'm a believer again.  If the NCAA let's us, I think we've got a date with Nebraska in Indianapolis at the end of the season.  And if we get a second chance against those Cornhuskers, I like our chances of getting to the Rose Bowl.

Isn't the seeding in each division determined by overall conference record, not division record? If not, we beat Penn State and we're going to Indy.

Can you believe this team lost to Miami?

Menexenus's picture
Menexenus on 30 Oct 2011 - 12:18am #

It is indeed overall conference record.  But that means we still need to win out, because we've already got 2 losses in the Big Ten.  In addition, Penn State needs to lose to us and at least one other team (because they are currently undefeated in B1G play).  But I like our chances.

If 11W really wants to break the fear of the gray box, they should use it to post something excellent about this game. As in, create a .gif of Braxton's bomb, and put it in the box. Watching that majestic strike on loop would do wonders in terms of promoting good feelings with the gray box

Set your avi
Buckeye Chuck on 30 Oct 2011 - 12:38am #

The positives are:

1) Miller generally looking more comfortable and less rattled, with a few understandable (due to youth) exceptions. (Stop extending the ball for first downs! Not worth the risk!)

2) BOOM

3) Strongest effort yet from the front four, and (for most of the game) the linebackers.

4) The miracle finish--there haven't been many quite that dramatic in program history.

5) Keeps alive the possibility of a decent bowl game, assuming no ban.

6) We owed these jerks.

The negatives:

1) The loss to Nebraska looks even worse now--we'd be in strong shape now had we just clung to our 21-point lead.

2) Wisconsin scored 2 touchdowns in 2:09 combined to take the lead before Miller's heroics. There has to be something basically wrong with what we're doing in these late-game, slim-lead situations that goes beyond a simple prevent.

3) I would hope these last two wins don't lead to a false sense of security regarding some very necessary staff changes.

4) I wasn't there. Nights like this are when I miss Columbus.

osukdawg76 on 30 Oct 2011 - 12:53am #

Alright, now that I've calmed down from a ridiculously insane game with an even more ludicrious ending, here are my takeaways.

 

1)  Defense played stellar for roughly 57 minutes.  I hate Prevent defense with every fiber of my body.  The boys pulled it together on that last drive, especially the front four.  Simon is looking to be an absolute beast and future All-American.

 

2)  Braxton Miller is going to be absolutely lethal.  The cold, steely glare that shows confidence, not cockiness.  Making good reads on option runs and making the most out of terrible situations.  He's going to get better, and the better he gets, the better this offense is going to get.

 

3)  Fickell is starting to get his legs under him with this job.  Some of the uncertainty is going away and we're seeing a little better management.  He still has a long way to go as a head coach, but I think he's getting it.  That being said, I'm still not sure that he's the man for the long-term.  Only time will tell, but tonight, Coach Fickell will sleep pretty well knowing that Columbus is happy with an incredible win.

 

4)  Play-calling on offense still blows a big fat dick.  Jim Bollman's predictable high school offense is really driving me crazy.  If Fickell does get the job, there had better be a gigantic clause in the contract saying that the first thing that happens is Bollman gets his walking papers.  Siciliano too, while we're at it.

 

5)  This season is starting to shape up a lot like 2004.  We've had some off nights, but with a very young team that is growing in front of us, the future is incredibly bright.  I hope the Big Ten enjoys the down year that we're having.  It's going to be the only one we have for awhile.  I am very confident in saying that.

I, for one, welcome our new coaching overlords.

2. Why wasn't Carlos "The Hammer" Hyde used in goal line situations tonight? Is he in the dog house?

3. How much better would the offense be with Posey streaking down the sidelines?

4. Ryan Shazier is going to be a stud. Give that dude more minutes!!!

5. Braxton Miller is going to be a stud. Stay healthy please.

6. I'm totally happy with the lines on both sides of the ball tonight. This might be my favorite part.

Going to state the obvious because nobody else has: career day for Boom. Wow!

Menexenus on 30 Oct 2011 - 1:58am #

Despite his fabulous performance, though, he didn't get a TD today.  So his streak is broken.  :-( 

If you had told me before the game that OSU would end up with 33 points, I would have bet my house that Boom would have at least one touchdown...  Guess it's a good thing I don't bet on sports!

I honestly didn't even realize he had a TD streak going. He does seem to have quite a run of 100 yard games going back into last year.

I think I've watched this 50 times tonight. I was at the game. Flew out from Los Angeles. Took my mom (her first OSU game). Lost my mind on this play. Gave and received hugs from people I've never met in the ensuing celebration. That moment will be forever in my mind. Nice introduction for my mom to OSU football.

Why is our prevent defense so f*ing awful?  When you're only rushing 3 or 4, how hard is it to have at least one guy covering each possible receiver?  Given that a prevent defense should have enough guys to cover every receiver and then some, how is it that Abbadabba (or whatever that stink-weasel's name is) can end up so wide open?!  Can someone please explain this to me because I honestly don't get it.

The OSU staff deserved to lose. I am glad the stud QB bailed the team out again...Krenzel, Smith, Pryor, but how pathetic. I knew as all of you did OSU be 3 and out with not even a minute off the clock from wretched play calling. I remember watching games won under Tressel were I can't believe I was agrivated over a win. And not just the Sugar bowl.

Foul language is fine when expressing emotion.  But I think you should try to avoid it when criticizing others.  Here are a couple examples to help illustrate the point:

1)  "That was fucking awesome!" - Acceptable.

2)  "Go fuck yourself." - Unacceptable.

When you're still experiencing the high of an amazing win (in addition to any potential alcohol-induced effects), it's understandable that you might be less tolerant of those who are being critical of our beloved team.  But still, please do what you can to make this website a "nice place to visit" (even for those with whom we disagree).

Haven't had too many this year. This one (one?) is especially nice tonight.

I know I wasn't the only one that called it, but I just wanted to point out that last Saturday night I wrote: "We will win. Write it down." Just sayin.

I just now finished watching the game. I had to watch the kids for a few hours tonight and there was no way I was going to be able to do both. And thank god I didn't try because I'd have some very emotionally scarred children right now if they had to endure sitting through that game with me. I literally fast-forwarded through the last 3:30 after we punted, up 26-21. Even kept fast-forwarding after we scored. No way I could have watched that last 3:30 in real time. It's not that i thought we'd blow it, even though we did temporarily, but i just knew it was going to be an extremely dramatic finish. After the last 10 months, not sure I can handle much more drama. I have no idea what the rest of the season holds, but it doesn't matter. This is a good, young team that is playing above expectations. They are getting better and the future is bright.

I think I would have done the same, with the fast-forwarding.  I didn't know what to think at the point in the game when we went down 29-26, putting the game in the hands of a FR QB who hasn't (at least I don't think he has) run the 2 minute offense.  Love the fact he keeps his eyes downfield when scrambling.

I didn't predict a win, but I said I hoped Braxton would take a step forward this game.  I believe I got my wish, and then some.

Anyone else notice Braxton's reaction after the play? Looks to the sideline, big smile, nothing too crazy. I liked what I saw all night from him, survey the field pre-snap, just looked cool as a cucumber. He's growing up as the season goes on. Also, I don't think we can underestimate what Boom brings to the offense, not just from a stat perspective. The offense just looks better with him in there. I would like to see Carlos Hyde get some touches, don't really understand what's going on there.

 

With a new offensive staff next year and the defense coming back we could be on the road to a special season barring anything major from the NCAA.

That was a great game. Probably the only game I'm going to get to this year, and first ever for my friend who grew up in Columbus.

How about Jordan Hall making up for his fumble with the long return to put us in position?

Buckeyejason on 30 Oct 2011 - 12:39pm #

That was very un Hall like to fumble on the punt returns, I had a feeling he'd redeem himself later in the game. He ran hard on that short t.d as well, gave a lot of effort.
