Eleven Warriors

Heartburn??? Which one gives me the most??? Oh God, I mean between this year & last the stock in Tums & Valium should both be on the rise....

Heartburn, Headaches, Nightmares, Anxiety, both years have provided plenty. I said last years team since this years hasn't lost yet, but both teams have given me numerous physical ailments.

But: 7-0...

I go with 2011 offense. We had talent that wasn't being utilized. The 2012 defense? I don't know if the talent is ready yet. Hopefully it's ready next year and only resembles Swiss cheese with smaller holes this year.

Fickell did a great job at making Indiana's 3rd String QB look like a Heisman.  The Pizza Boy should have been given a promotion and raise for honesty.

I voted last year's offense for obvious reasons (I still feel sorry for Boston College). 

But minus a couple of players like Andrew Sweat, our defense is generally the same personel as last year, which was a decent defense (nothing special, but better than this year).  This leads me to think that the defensive woes is more of a coaching issue than a players issue.

I'm glad Meyer is going to get more involved in the D, but hopefully this doesn't lead him to micromanage everything and hence lead him to another early retirement.

I chose last year's offense, but it was a tough call.  If a defense allows 3 points a game, but the offense doesn't score, it is a loss.  Fortunately, OSU's offense has been able to outscore everyone.  I will say though, it is tough to watch every bubble screen thrown against this defense succeed to varying degrees (anywhere from 10 yards to touchdown).  You should have this poll again after the Purdue game.

I voted for this year's D.  Last year bumps in the road were expected, this year Urban is in charge.

This year's D. I'm not used to defenses being this bad. We had a taste of awful offenses, even under Tressel.

At least this year we're winning.. Last year the offense was bad and we had our first losing season in a long while. 

The 2012 D..... and it was an easy decision. Ohio State has a legacy of great defenses. Bad defense at this school should NEVER happen.

This year's D. We knew last years offense was going to suck. This year's D was supposed to be good!

Should have a 3rd selection available, this year's Punt unit! DERPY, DERP!

we're still undefeated so far this year, so gotta go with last year's poor O unit

Definitely last year's offense.

Have we forgotten how bad it was? Completed 1 pass in an entire game with just 4 attempts; ran the same running play at least twice every possession, even though the defense knew it was coming, and we knew they knew what was coming; gave up an ungodly amount of sacks, even with the most elusive QB in the country; consistently ran playaction on 3rd and long situations because...?

This year's defense causes consternation, no doubt about it. But, we have at least seen these guys make some plays. Also, for the most part the big plays have been given up while holding a large or decent-sized lead.

Last year's offense was BAD. Like, historically bad. Nebraska and IU at least have pretty competent offenses that have put up yards against most everyone they've faced.

Last year's offense was the most painful thing I've ever witnessed with any team for which I root in any sport, with the possible exception of one game against Urban Meyer in 2006. I wanted to yank my hair out with every play. 

This year's D. With the exception of Hankins and flashes of Roby, this D hasn't lived up to expectation or talent. John Simon was supposed to be a first round pick\10 sack guy, Ryan Shazier and Curtis Grant were supposed to be the next great LB duo at OSU, Nate Williams was supposed to make an already deep line impossible to defend. Fact is, the 'big money' guys on D have all under performed. I've been especially hard on Simon because the hype was so high coming in but he isn't the problem-just part of it. Piss poor tackling and terrible communication in the secondary has been too hard to watch.

At least with the offense, we knew it was only going to be one year under the Bollrus and eventually there would be some light at the end of the tunnel. Here, there isn't an end in sight. Its all fine and good that OSU isn't in the post season contention but this team has plenty to play for still and defensivley they aren't getting the job done.

Also might be high time we admit Luke Fickell and Everett Withers are severly over matched. I know Fick got a lot of love for what he did last year and his whole lifelong buckeye thing but bad is bad and heads need to roll at seasons end....Luke's might be the first.

And of course, I'm sure a faction of fans will be upset with Meyer.

Last years O by far. At least this year i have hope that things will change around with Urban Meyer demanding better.

Last year I was expecting the offense to be bad and they didn't regress over the season the way that the defense is this year

Bottom line for me... the fact that the poor offense led to so many losses last year, and We're 7-0 this year, proves that I won't be losing as much hair this year as i did last. I mean... R u KIDDING me? With me being from Cleveland, does anyone think I'd be complaining if any of my teams were constantly winning ugly? I'd be ecstatic with any of them having dominating winning records, no matter how achieved. Just like the 2011 Bucks took losses leaving us grasping for any upsides, the teams of my city seem to do the same. Remember how the 2002 Bucks nearly lost every game? But they pulled w's out their ass every Saturday, and then really shocked the world.
7-0 baby..let's appreciate and treasure the success, and let the coaches deal with the heartburn and stress of perfecting the flaws!!!
