Looks like I was right about Storm Klein starting this season over Grant! Everyone said I was crazy and Klein wouldn't see the field. Well!?!?

Wow Howard is still doing stupid crap like hitting the kicker as a senior? Can't wait until e graduates.

Braxton throwing like shit!
This team looks like shit! Pathetic
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
That was exactly how we didn't want to start the game.
I wonder if people will continue to argue with me when I say we aren't even near to being one of the top 30-35 teams in the country.
I would say 35 is generous.
meh.... just get the W. get to 4-0......please.
This team is pathetic!
ROD SMITH SCORED! HE IS EDDIE AFTER ALL!!!

If we're the best the Big Ten has this year..this is a BAD year for the conference.

wow...another sick highlight reel run by Braxton on that TD -- nice spin move!

Another ghost game for Stonburner..poor guy, gets promised to be a key weapon and they throw to him 2-3 times a game.

I know -- I need some good numbers for Stoney today like last week -- put him back in my starting fantasy lineup today
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
Well, if we showed up to play in the first quarter these games would be put away early.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
I know there are possible injury concerns from too many, for some, but you have to let Braxton do his thing from the get go. Braxton is this team's power source.
They are saving him for Michigan state. Got to have him 100%.
Its almost like they try and put themselves in bad positions. You know that they could just turn braxton loose and win by 50, but games like this is when you work on your weaknesses I guess.
Rod Smith is a beast he needs touches. It would be a shame if we let that kid sit on the bench or transfer. You can see he wants the damn ball. Leading into his TD he was yelling at Braxton telling him give me the mother fuckin ball, you don't have to like that but you better respect it. Rod Smith=baller.
Defense is horrible. Im pretty sure its 90 percent scheme though.
You can not play 10 yards off the wr if all they do is throw quick screens for first downs. PRESS COVERAGE!!! Its too easy and you would never see that in the NFL.
However, Looks like they got the message to wrap up when you hit somebody already caused two fumbles.
Rod Smith probably has the highest fumble rate of any RB in the country. He should get zero touches and he adds no value over hyde or Dunn.
And yes, the defensive playcalling is awful.
Dude Rod Smith looked like a beast compared to the rest of the team in the first half. He is the all time leading rusher from the state of Indy. He can do some things. He was the only other player then Braxton to break a tackle. If you break tackles you win. BTW he had zero FUMBLES JUST SAYIN! GO BUCKS
He had two carries lol.
His body of work at tOSU hasn't just been unimpressive, he's been more of a detriment to the team than a positive.
he's scoring 1 td for every 2 carries that has HOF written all over it.
Ok, so you are just trolling. I get it. Cool, carry on.
Nah he's just had a little wiskey thats all lol.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Im not a huge Rod Smith fan but I don't mind giving him a chance to prove himself.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Run him every play, I don't really care to be honest. I don't think being a one dimensional offense will get us very far in the future though.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
You know what though if im coaching him I hand him the rock and say do your thing...he doesn't get hit hard, I'd say very Barry sanders like the way he can cut and spin off of tackles. Yes I did just compare him to the g.o.a.t He could win two like A.G if he gets enough touches. Nothing but speed coming in on offense the next two years.
He would be a first round RB with his size and ability
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
I thought out of high school he was like reggie bush with an arm.
Im a few jacks in to this game but did we just stop a screen pass?
all im saying with smith is he can break tackles that makes you good as a runner. hall can not make people miss and def not break a tackle.
It's weird because Hall used to make people miss when he was a freshman and soph. I don't know what happened.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
he's not 100% that cut doesn't heal that fast.
I hate to see this offense against a top 20 defense.

the worst part of this is im working nights right now and Im staying up for this shit....sure the whiskey helps but god damn there is only one thing on earth you should go without sleep for booty and ok maybe two things you are in a fuckin war and someone is shooting at your ass.

field goal no. td yes. That kicker is pretty damn good. Chop blockin mofo's
Good lord when is Nate Williams not hurt?
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Its time for Spence. Williams isn't 100 either.
Lets go we need 28 to finish off this game.
please get him 100 yards today. that is our championship him with the heisman....Hall is just ok. Braxton on the roll out is not easy to stop.
too many horizontal, long-developing patterns...need more TE seem routes down the middle & vertical posts
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
yes down field indeed. I don't think they hit the tight end once today. I'd like to think they aren't trying to give MSU anything to look at...which when you suck this bad there isn't much to look at. I still expect us to win that game and you will see a completely different offense.
number 41 is the mvp of this game. pretty much sums up this shit sandwich.
Uggh Howard is god-awful!
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
I agree. Him and Sabino have been the two worst florida players Ohio state ever had.
Weren't Kenton Rambo & Reggie Germany from Florida?
Kenton Rambo never played for OSU. and im pretty sure Reggie Germany was from Germany.
I remember when the 2007 team would barely let cup cakes get to mid field..ahh those were the days.

Im not sure if this team sucks or if they just really suck.
wtf man if you can't do anything right at least fuckin line up onsides its not hard I could teach a rock to do it. I'd say hey Rock just sit there and don't fuckin move past that line right there ....and the rock would say Oh what line up a half yard in front ?./ no rock what the fuck are you doing? NO!!!
Once again..Howard is god awful.

yep -- there was no pass rush pressure at all on the long pass...disgusting

Why Spence or Stee Miller hasn't seem the field is beyonddddd me? Weird personell decisions by this coaching staff this year. Oh well, what do I know.

Something ain't right.
Is it wrong that I kinda hope we lose at this point lol?
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
no. I thought Cal should have beat their ass. They are looking soft. The coaches need to let their legs rest this week. I think they are pushing too hard. I know they are better then this.
Hankins better go get that draft money after this season..
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that the coaches are running them too hard and they have nothing left when the game gets here. Please let it be that please god. IF not this team could lose 4 games this year.
I feel you, I think bloody Tuesday's is a bit extreme during the season. You have all off season to work your players to death. They gotta be fresh come game day.

j-o-k-e is what ohio state is right now.

How is it that Meyer's Florida teams weren't tired like this? I agree they look a bit tired.
Wow Sparty D might eat this silly offense alive.

i hope we lose this game because we don't deserve to even be on the same field as a team that plays hard.
Oh boy.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
no smith ???we are just playing bullshit football right now, we cant blow these guys off the ball??? wtf
I'm sure the D will make a stop when needed and Braxton will bail this team out as usual in the end. Still a disturbing performance.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Its like they have dead legs there is no way uab can hang with us...right? jesus fuck this is a fuckin joke
bottom line is if you don't show me you want to be on the field right now your ass is benched.
are you fuckin kiddin me ref?

nice.
I feel like we're Michigan with Denards legs being the whole offense.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
All I can say is I hope we are running a bunch of plays that we haven't practiced and the look we are giving on d is nothing like the look we give vs mich st because we will get blown out.
we need another td to make this look like we play half way decent. This game was an F. I don't think UAB is good at all. If they would have played the other qb that started the game we might be in trouble.
No matter what we do now..everyone expected a 60-0 type stomping from this team. All I heard was how awful UAB was and how we'll dominate them.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
we need 6 got to have it.
thats right whats the spread??

I agree perfect time to pound Smith right there. I'm not sure this coaching staff has a clue right now. These aren't their guys and seems like they are getting a feel for what they got. Practice and game time are completely different. Smith and Thomas are gamers they may look like shit in practice but from what I see game time they come to ball.
Come on Smith...
Why don't they play Thomas he has sure hands and it seems he gets open.
I dunno, this staff makes the whole fan base ask "wtf?!?".
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
We need to get Rod Smith the ball more! Jordan Hall can't make anyone miss right now.
The 2012 National Champions.
It's not even about making someone miss he can't break a tackle Smith can that is a huge advantage for Smith.
So can Dunn, and he's a true freshman.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Hall should be the 3rd down back he would be dangerous in that role, but not your every down back. Why is it columbus is such a great football town and ohio for that matter has such a great understanding for the game as a fan base but we keep getting shit coaching ??? Oh well thats 400 wins in Ohio stadium . Fuck it another jack and coke.
And we can't tackle. Bad defensive schemes only makes our D look even worse. We are very average.
The 2012 National Champions.
Howard behind the reciever again! not suprised..
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
hard to watch, our defense is bad, we had to start slow on offense. Just so inconsistent and poor tackling continues. We should deff. lose next week. Atleast 2 losses this year, and that's not saying much since the big10 is god awful.
Well I still don't see us losing lol just like 02' i think its going to be ugly at times but pretty enough to get it done. Kinda like the fat chick you pick up at the bar at 330.
I've never seen teams run this easy on us as I've seen last season and this first 4 games this year. We used to be known for holding teams under a hUndred yards and shutting down the running game.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
So my question is gets the blame on this on defense? Fickell can't dodge this....I was his biggest supporter to bring him back but I'm not sure it was a good decision....maybe we should have cleaned house on everyone
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
Well I think fickell has given into the new defensive back coaches style of playing off the receivers which is how you play if you have no d-line but if you have a bad ass line like Ohio State you play press coverage and make teams hold for 3 to 4 seconds and see if they can beat the pass rush. NY Giants play that way. LSU and Bama play that way...why Ohio State doesn't when they have atleast 2 guys that will play on sundays is beyond me.
Who gets the blame? Urban Meyer. This isn't just a defensive problem this is a team problem. If we don't see the correlation between our dead offense in the second half the last two weeks and the defense then we're either blind or we have an agenda.
Maybe, but it's not fickells fault players can't tackle or make plays. Howard is the most average corner I have ever seen. Simon and Hankins are the only guys that bring it on defense every game. An easy int hit Sabino right in the hands...the players just don't get it or have it I guess.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Bad angles and bad tackling for sure, but I'd sure like to see more aggressive coverage. Our scheme is killing me.
On the plus side, even with all the yards the D didn't give up any TDs. To UAB. UAB.

I was in the live blog and I kept looking to see if there were comments and it only read 8. Then I refreshed my browser and then magically there was 134.
The live blog is a little too fast paced and tough to watch the game when on there.

Agreed. Last several years it was nice. This year the game and the blog moves way too fast. Especially when all the boo birds join in during the second half.
Could be worse, we could have lost to Central Michigan!
Good to know we're all on the ledge.
