If Ohio State had somehow pulled out a win on Saturday, the conversations we're all having about the Buckeyes right now look completely different. Instead of (rightly) focusing on a defense in complete shambles, the national media would choose to focus on quarterbacks and wide receivers and huge passing numbers.

I'm obviously not happy about yesterday's result, but I am somewhat relived that the decrepit state of whatever Kerry Coombs refers to as a "scheme" has been laid bare for all to see. Now we can have an honest conversation about what it'll take to actually fix it, and count me among the many who thinks that it starts by getting rid of the guy who Peter Principled his defenses into some of the worst performances in Ohio State history.

THE TEAM

This is going to shock you, but the Buckeyes weren't particularly active on social media after the game yesterday. C.J. Stroud did retweet this, however:

And I think this is some good advice:

THE ALUMNI

A WHOLE FREAKING MOOD

PUNTER SOLIDARITY

WAIT, WHY IS BIG BOI IN C DECK?

THE REST

The Buckeyes get Tulsa next, and if things don't look drastically different on the defensive side of the ball I can't be held responsible for what foolishness I might put out into world wide web.
