Based off their film review of this past week's game, Nebraska's defensive staff may anticipate OSU's offensive brain trust to prepare for another dose of blitzkrieg at breakneck pace until the Bucks show the ability to handle it. They may assume that, to slow down the pass rush the B...

After reading junk like this and reading the onslaught of negativity on comment threads, I have to write something somewhere in response. Luke Fickell is not a terrible coach. The job he has done is far from exceptional at this point, but to call him "terrible" even "...

So after skimming the plethora of comments regarding booing in the skull session, I see there are varying view points on what to do.  MY SOLUTION: Stay to sing Carmen Ohio. Whether you boo or not stay and let the team know that we still support and love our buckeyes, through good tim...

This is a breakdown of each offensive play that was on TV.  I think you will see that execution was the problem today.  Not play calling. So the first 2 series basically weren't on TV except for the 3rd and 9 play on the 2nd possesion. 3rd and 9, Miller runs directly up the ...

So after reading that permanent captains would have undoubtedly prevented the Jammmmaaaaaal (I can never remember if it's 2 m's or 2 a's or both) Berry "situation" from occurring I have come to the conclusion that Luke Fickell is a complete failure as a head coach. A lot...

Well it is Sparty week for you, my 11W friends.  And as part of my continuing efforts to contribute meaningfully to this really excellent blog, I would like to help you all get your hate up for the visitors from E. Lansing on Satruday. Some of you may remember this story from l...

Akron native. Kent State grad. MAC Champion coach. Has brought in some serious NFL talent to play at Missouri. Downside is that he is almost 60, but I never see his name mentioned by the REPLACE FICKELL YESTERDAY folks. Just think he is an option that would be very solid and c...

Think Russell Crowe and Gladiator, if Fickell wants to win/keep the crowd he is going to appease them. He is not in a position to intimidate a fanbase into submission ala say, Saban. That is why Miller will, hopefully, start and play until the game is decided on Saturday. If Baus starts, all ...

First posted at Inside The Shoe by Brady. I’m literally speechless. I haven’t seen that kind of performance from the Buckeye’s since the debacle in Southern California a few years back. Even that game against USC wasn’t as painful as this past weekend’s contest a...

First posted at Inside The Shoe The first loss in the 2011 season was in serious contention among Buckeye fans for one of the worst offensive performances in recent memory. Miami seemed to be in control for most of this game, and even when they gave chances for Ohio State to get themselves ba...

After seeing the performance of OSU's quarterbacks throughout the three games, I can not help but think to myself: "Was Graham or Guiton really that bad that they lost the competition to those two?" Then I realize that the "quarterback competition" this summer was already ...

Miami OSU 27 – Toledo 22.  OK, you saw it.  I saw it.  It is over. It was ugly, very ugly.  I was surprised but probably should not have been.  Don’t we do this pretty much on an annual basis?  Sort of like some dreaded family reunion.  You have ...

First posted at Inside The Shoe That certainly wasn't the game any of us were expecting, including Mark May. The offense struggled all game long, the special teams (at times) looked awful, and the defense was back on it's heels for the entire game what with the Spread formations and t...

Re: The running game - While I'll agree the O-line certainly didn't play as fired up as we'll need them to, I don't think we can just write them off already as under-performers reminiscent of previous years. I think we have an objectively talented group that played a bad game coll...
