[u/Half_Past_Five]

Good game OSU. Disappointing final play but really proud of our defense.

[u/RulersBack → u/Half_Past_Five]

Both defenses put on a masterclass and made each others offenses look stupid

[u/Erniecrack → u/RulersBack]

Or did the offenses put on a disasterclass and make the defenses look good?

[u/tOSUBUCKEYES_ → u/Erniecrack]

QB’s were really, really bad today. Both missed a lot of throws and made mistakes.

So I’d say offensive disasterclass

[u/Fritzkreig → u/tOSUBUCKEYES_]

This is tru, I hope Justin is fine!

[u/Erniecrack → u/tOSUBUCKEYES_]

Yeah both qbs missed wide open Td that weren’t really hard throws

[u/pikajewijewsyou → u/tOSUBUCKEYES_]

They looked like hall of famers after watching some of those Arch Manning drives

[u/Not_Pablo_Sanchez → u/Erniecrack]

A little bit of both honestly. Defenses looked great. Some of the skill players on offense played well. But man, Sayin and Hoover were in a battle to see who could throw the most inaccurate ball and who could miss the most open receiver. So many wide open guys missed between the two. I think Sayin won that battle though. Dude looked like he had the yips all first half

[u/RayWhelans → u/Erniecrack]

This is more how I feel. Both QBs missed a lot of wide open guys.

[u/inqte1 → u/Erniecrack]

Ive seen so many OSU fans impressed with their defense (run defense, yes) but all I saw was Hoover have all day to throw, especially when they didnt blitz, and just missing wide open receivers. Sayin was under more pressure but he missed a lot of throws as well.

[u/No_Fact_499 → u/RulersBack]

It was the same as last year where both defenses look amazing and sometimes there’s not much either offense can do

[u/pasqua3 → u/RulersBack]

Brother the defenses looked good because both QBs couldn't hit a barn. The secondary wasn't making Julian overthrow WRs by 15 feet. The DLs were disruptive for sure but again neither O line could generate anything resembling a push or protection.

[u/Imma_P0tato → u/RulersBack]

Our CBs were getting torched all day. I wouldnt call it a masterclass. But we do have some young studs (simmons, pettijohn), that are gonna be fun to watch going forward.

[u/BuckeyeEmpire → u/RulersBack]

The qbs were bad though

[u/dasuave → u/RulersBack]

Receivers on both teams (more so Indiana with Becker) were running wide open. Hoover and Sayin were having an ass off missing them over the top.

Ohio state then needs to have a backup for two drives and it looked like that kid couldn’t play.

[u/billbill17 → u/Half_Past_Five]

GG. I have no idea what teams are good this year

[u/SimilarOnion1655 → u/billbill17]

Georgia. That is all I know right now 

[u/Tomallenisthegoat → u/SimilarOnion1655]

Same situation it was neck and neck between them and Bama

[u/ViagraOnAPole → u/SimilarOnion1655]

Probably Miami too. Probably.

[u/Sir_Phillip → u/ViagraOnAPole]

No one will really know if Miami and ND are legit until the playoffs. ND will blow out BYU today then Miami and ND will be the only benchmarks for each other.

[u/inqte1 → u/SimilarOnion1655]

Alabama was good too. There was some dodgy decisions that could have flipped that game. The level of play was pretty high in that game I thought.

[u/GimlionTheHunter → u/SimilarOnion1655]

Georgia and Bama both losing going into the half. Bama at least losing to a good Tennessee, Auburn probably better than their record after the Florida win earlier, though, too.

[u/SimilarOnion1655 → u/GimlionTheHunter]

No one is great this year 

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/billbill17]

Georgia, Miami, and ND (we'll see tonight though). I think if Sayin is okay Ohio State can still beat anybody.

[u/billbill17 → u/Tommy05Sox]

You didn’t just say notre dame bro lmao 0 ranked wins 😭

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/billbill17]

Wisconsin is beating UCLA tonight and will be ranked.

[u/billbill17 → u/Tommy05Sox]

Didn’t even make a bowl game last year lmao

[u/ar_threethousand → u/billbill17]

Let’s pay attention to what teams finish the season ranked, like normal competent adults do. You know that’s what matters.

OSUs loss to an unranked Texas would look real bad if you ask me

[u/BigThistyBeast → u/billbill17]

Welcome to the new era of college football. No teams are complete all 3 phases for 4 quarters anymore

[u/supercool9483 → u/billbill17]

Not IU this year

[u/fire_water_drowned → u/supercool9483]

no flair, opinion disgregarded

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/Half_Past_Five]

Yeah, nobody won today

[u/Arkehn → u/FrostTroll69]

Florida did

[u/FloatCopper → u/FrostTroll69]

I hurt on the loss.

But, I upvoted after my LOL

[u/BensenJensen → u/Half_Past_Five]

Very good game. Happy we won, obviously, but Indiana’s defense was very impressive. Indiana broke Sayin’s will last year and broke his arm this year.

[u/No_Preparation2766 → u/Half_Past_Five]

Not even joking but Josh Hoover 100% lost this game by himself. If he didn't play like a blind man, we would have won

But then again if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bike

[u/Pulsar-GB → u/No_Preparation2766]

This game was Julian Sayin and Josh Hoover repeatedly trying to give the game to the other team

[u/AccordianPropaganda → u/Pulsar-GB]

I can't even entirely blame Sayin. Our O Line is fucking DISASTROUS and it's been this way year in and out.

[u/titusnick270 → u/AccordianPropaganda]

I didn’t think they were that bad today. Sayin needs to step up in the pocket get rid of the ball quicker imo.

[u/slapdashbr → u/Pulsar-GB]

you call that an overthrow? I'll show you an overthrow! yeets it 20ft over the wr

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/No_Preparation2766]

Mendoza beats us by two scores easy in that.

[u/Fritzkreig → u/wit_T_user_name]

I miss post game Mendoza "Glory to God!"

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/Fritzkreig]

Based on that ending, they’ve both left you.

[u/ThisIsOurGoodTimes → u/No_Preparation2766]

I mean could say the same about sayin. Feel like it’s worth just saying both defenses played great

[u/BelowAverageJoe11 → u/No_Preparation2766]

You could probably say the same about Sayin though too. They both were on the struggle bus

[u/almondania → u/No_Preparation2766]

The amount of airmailed balls was ridiculous

[u/beragis → u/almondania]

I was wondering if there was some strange winds in the stadium

[u/Skidda24 → u/No_Preparation2766]

Him and Sayin both. Sayin had guys wide open and just whiffed. There were also several missed reads by Hoover.

It's hard to judge though because it's probably the best defenses both teams will face all year

[u/Imma_P0tato → u/No_Preparation2766]

Had OSU lost, I would have said the same thing about Sayin.

[u/Ickyhouse → u/No_Preparation2766]

As bad as Hoover was, he outplayed Sayin

[u/kd451 → u/No_Preparation2766]

Nah, Radicic sold

[u/No_Preparation2766 → u/kd451]

Tbf to Radicic, he shouldn't have even been in those situations if Hoover made his wide open passes

[u/beragis → u/No_Preparation2766]

I am an OSU fan, and I was cringing every play after his injury. You could see he was in pain but still going through. As a Browns fan I was starting to get flashbacks to Baker Mayfield playing injured rather than rest.

I like that we won, but don’t like we won playing against a QB who shouldn’t have been playing towards the end.

Makes me wonder about the QB depth of both teams

[u/CpowOfficial → u/Half_Past_Five]

More impressed by Indiana in this game than any other so far this year. Didn't think they were frauds by any means but I think they can repeat after this brutal loss.

[u/Skidda24 → u/Half_Past_Five]

Both our QBs were under 50% passing at some point. Proud of our O-line too.

Unfortunately and fortunately, if we both win out we probably meet in the title game

[u/Abefroman12 → u/Half_Past_Five]

You should absolutely be proud of your defense. They made both of our QBs scared and error prone

[u/chriskug → u/Half_Past_Five]

Our secondary were much more sticky today and we’re looking to make plays on the ball, feeling better overall from what I’ve seen the first few weeks.
