The Monday After: What comes next for Buckeyes after latest loss to Michigan | Ohio State football

[@buckeyetater7540]

Ya know all this Ohio State losing is “just not good enough “. Who the hell do we think we are ???? Bama has had 3 of these seasons in a row. Clemson and Oklahoma are trash. I’m sick of the Buckeye arrogance as a lifelong Buckeye fan. I gotta listen to felons like Clarette go on about someone being a failure ??? What happens when we win next year and the year after that. This isn’t forever man. Stop embarrassing yourselves and be fans and get behind your team. I know what next now too. These same arrogant fans start talking about “meaningless” bowl games. When did we lose our collective minds ?

McCord just ain’t got “It.”

[@Choclate_Chip_Hoochie]

McCord did not get better.. his confidence is a big problem & acts like he’d rather be anywhere else but where he is & that’s anywhere he goes or does it’s just who he is.. I have seen him at events & Devin Brown come in & take command of the room

[@petemarchi5112]

Daydreaming 😶‍🌫️ has become a NIGHTMARE!

[@ME-wy3xm]

The only Big Game Ryan Day has ever won was Clemson in 2020. Outside of that he sux. He clearly is clueless on what to do or even how to coach against TTUN. He took zero chances and coached “not to lose” and he lost…AGAIN.

[@dmoney0505]

Ryan Days lack of aggressiveness on the road was terrible.

[@freeclimb5487]

Sorry guys, Wilson had the ball pinned to his chest as he crossed the goal line and his knee was down. It was clearly a TD. Whatever happens AFTER he crosses the goal with possession is mute because the play is dead. I've watched the reply over a hundred times, and it doesn't change. Stop. It was a TD and move on. It smacks of desperation.

[@DanHickeyGuy]

What killed you is the 7 minute drive that OSU could not stop. Michigan imposing its will. That was the Boa Constrictor squeeze, giving OSU 60 seconds to try to win.

[@Choclate_Chip_Hoochie]

Look at CJ in the NFL you didn’t see that at all here.. that’s playing & big time lack of confidence

these 3 are funny asf . The prediction before the game to this meltdown 😂😂

[@klaekrodeman7074]

This game was lost in recruiting offensive and defensive lineman in 2019, 2020 and 2021. We can get 4 and 5 star quarterbacks and wide receivers but not lineman. McCord’s lack of being in sinc in the offense is the lack of lineman. Plus we had the ball with a chance to win with a minute to go. Did it to ND.

[@pJ-us2vl]

Are you serious? The DLineman that start and play the most were the top 2 5 star DE in the country and 3 high 4 stars at DT. Donovan Jackson was the top IOL recruit in the nation and a 5 star, Hinzman high 4 Star top 200 player and Simmons from the portal is going to develop into an All American most likely. There's only two 5 star OL in this year's class they are very rare. Do some research before you talk

[@klaekrodeman7074]

Really, the offensive line has poor depth . Did you watch the spring game. The run blocking got better but not like 2019. Recruiting has been bad for all lines.

[@dennishurt4314]

It's clear now that Ryan Day is not a big-game coach. He has lost more than he has won. Offensive play calling is suspect and the team in big games seem to be worried about losing instead of playing to win

[@dmoney0505]

5 targets to Harrison is terrible

[@nike23osu]

Kyle McCord is a JR so your starting over with a year 1 QB the following season...if you have a Dev Brown/keinholtz/Air Noland they need a FAIR chance to be QB 1 this is his 3rd year in this system, he had 2 years to work on himself (Kyle) and Brown did NOT get a fair shot as more people than not believe Brown won that battle. Kyle does not have that "im the man" i got you guys lets go do this mentality Brown has that...also the minute Kyle said "Its just another game at the end of the day" last week, then goes out and throws TWO INT that were very bad...its time to give that guy that has that dog in him a shot. CJ was never a question in his two years he had IT and it was very apparent, the thing thats has to change the most is PLAYING THE BEST PLAYERS...this crap of playing someone because they been in the program longer is BS, WHERE WAS TATE, WHERE WAS INNIS, Why was Flemming getting playing time over Xavier Johnson/Tate/INNIS!!!???? RS years are not a thing anymore with these big time players its 3 years and done why waste a year just to play someone that isnt blocking, dropping balls, and fumbling them all over the field. The fact non of those 3 got a shot in the game (X baffles me he has been great when he touches the ball for us) is insane...no one was getting open, its happened in other games to so throw tate and innis in the mix. PLAY YOUR BEST PLAYERS...

As a Michigan fan, for us, there is so much to like Kyle McCord. The fact is.....Harrison will be gone after this year, and thats the only reason he was allowed to start as a 3 star anyway. No reason for him to have a job now. But I hope he does.

I don’t quite understand the game plan. All year long the defensive coaches have done a decent job with rotating their defensive line. I do not recall seeing #97 and/or #92 in the game. Especially, when Michigan was third and long. I think the lack of the defensive line rotation caught up with the defensive line in the second half. It was quite noticeable to me the second half Michigan began began to exert their

Can't win the B1G championship game in past 3 years. Is winning the B1G a goal? I never thought I'd hear that Tim May cares zero about winning the B1G. None of these guys cares about the B1G championship. I say winning the B1G is important. You don't get a freakin trophy from the B1G for beating Michigan. Win the B1G. Win the B1G. Win the B1G. A conference championship makes Big Ten history. these guys act like conference history is meaningless.

[@mikesamet1622]

It was all about the D allowing a 7-minute drive late; D was worn down, pushed off the line, beaten in the run game......again! Have big questions about Knowles.....he's not coached at this level and is missing some strategy for the types of games he finds himself in here vs. Duke or OK State. We don't recruit well on the o-line....to the point where we're happy to flip a 3-star from Northwestern.....really?? This is Ohio State. Where are Frye's recruiting chops....let alone coaching what he has. O-line was a year long project and often a liability.

look, lets be honest here. We had many cringeworthy moments with virtually every game this season. Without a strong and solid foundation (reliable offensive line, steady quarterback, creative offensive play calling that keeps the defense OFF BALANCE) all the great talent might get you through the easy to moderate games, but is not enough to topple the true playoff-ready teams. Our special teams continue to suck.

The Big Ten was junk this year. OSU didn’t beat a top tier program. Notre Dame is not a complete football team. Penn State’s offense was not a threat. Going 11-1 wasn’t that much of a accomplishment. They had one big challenge and lost.

[@TheBickhartTyler]

We turned the ball over, M didn’t. We don’t do that and we win 🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s pretty simple. Defense wasn’t aggressive toward the blitz bc you do get burned that way. They run to much and can set up screens easily. Blitzing would’ve bit us
