It should have surprised no one that Missouri's D-line dominated OSU's offense. They have been dominating teams and knocking their QBs out of the game all season. Both LSU's Daniels, the Heisman winner and Georgia's Beck were roughed up, although they were able to come from behind and win late. OSU is lucky the score wasn't 28-3, had the officiating crew got the fumble in the first half right and Mizzou not kneeled on the ball deep inside the red zone with just under two minutes left in the game.

[@dstrt8753]

Their d line didn't dominate anything. They got pressure by blitzing. They did that because osu had an 18 yr old at qb that wasn't ready. Wich was smart. They got their only scores because osu's defense was wore down from the lack of help from their offense. If Devin brown doesn't go out, osu wins this game 20-3. Or worse. Unfortunately that's not how it played out, and that's part of the game.

[@tomdulle1707]

@@dstrt8753 Ohio St fans are the biggest clown show in America. Chalk up another team living rent free in your buckeye heads. Your #1 QB didn't care enough about you to play and your #2 got taken out by the Mizzou defense, which if you had a clue, you'd know that's what good defenses do. But since Ohio St fans don't appear to be among the smartest fans in college football, let me explain something else; championship teams have depth. If a starter goes out with an injury, or simply decides they don't want to be part of your team anymore, you have someone below them who is suppose to be as good as the starter. Did the Rams fold when Trent Green was oot for the season, or the Patriots and Drew Breeze? No, they won Super Bowls with "backups" Kurt Warner and Tom Brady. If you lack depth you aren't very good, are you?

[@steveningrahm8928]

You're dreaming. OSU wasn't going to score with either of those QBs. B-10 offenses aren't talented enough to compete with the top of the SEC. That was a beatdown. Missouri owned OSU and it could have been much worse at 28-3.@@dstrt8753

[@Jimi1124]

Arguing with Ohio state fans is useless. They expect championships and honestly i don't blame them. What Ohio state didn't understand is the transformation of a program. You can't talk about your Quarterback because mizzou played against quarterbacks all better than anyone who suited up for you with Georgia, THE HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER, Tenn, kstate, Memphis, etc... McCord was not better than brady cook. Harrison jr is not better than Luther burden. Our cornerbacks are 2 of the best in the nation. Our recievers are easily some of the best in the nation. Our D-line is always up there. We had the best running back in the nation this year. What Ohio state fans honestly didn't realize is mizzou does NOT look at ohio state like GEORGIA or LSU. Once this team played Georgia better than anyone in the NATION...twice...outside of bama latest win, it was WRAP...for ohio state. What ohio state doesn't realize is mizzou BARELY LOST THOSE 2 GAMES THIS YEAR. What they also didn't realize is the 6 games they should have won last year. We all get that ohio state is a historic program.....but what they don't understand is Miz made a complete transformation.....and if they improve...past the Gary Pinkel threshold...they're going to challenge for a natty. What Ohio state doesn't realize is mizzou can NOW PAY FOR PLAY....like ohio state has done for YEARS. If we keep our in state players and continue to add 3 stars from the south...we would smash ohio state. But I would not expect an ohio state fan to understand that....and honestly who could blame them..... i completely understand their nonsense about not having a quarterback.... But you average quarterback was not better than the sec quarterbacks mizzou faced this year. And with all due respect....ohio state has 1, maybe 2 teams in the big 10 to get thru....each year. Either way... ohio state is by far a top tier program. Mizzou has simply made a transformation....and with NIL......it won't be hard to catch up.

Ryan Day is a train wreck as a head coach. When will OS realize you don't hand the keys to a premium program over to a guy who has never before been a head coach? Main experience was at New Hampshire, Boston College and Temple as a position coach. Was Chip Kelly's pet and then comes to OS. Meyer gets in trouble and retires so he gets the job. When does the experiment end? The guy is a fraud and gets outcoached with superior players at every turn that matters.

[@wC5151]

56-8 went to a national championship made the playoffs 3 times yeah he’s 1-3 against a Michigan team that is the best it’s fielded in 2 decades and was prolly cheating

[@Jroddy77]

​​​@@wC5151 Nice try. Ryan Day failed to improve the O Line after two years (it got worse from last year), he squandered outstanding talent on offense, his playcalling is inconsistent and poor, he lost three straight to Michigan, and he is like 1-7 against top teams. Ohio State is on the down turn unfortunately and its because of Ryan Day's stubbornness. The prognosis doesn't seem positive in my opinion. OSU should've lost to Notre Dame, trailed many times to inferior teams throughout the season, and now they have back-to-back seasons where they have lost the last two games.

As a 36 year old man who has literally grew up eating, sleeping, and breathing college football I have to say it's painful to see the bowl season become a joke and an afterthought.

Just great football with the same players that played all year. Now in this era of CFB of you lose a big game *poof*, brand new team for the last game or 2 of the season and a completely different team for the bowl game.

Yeah, I'm sure it had more to do with the Ohio State players just being selfish and looking forward to NFL. I'm sure it had nothing to do with them having a QB who hadn't taken any snaps at all, losing their top WR, and really having nothing to play for. Why is it that anytime the SEC loses in these games, its immediately said "these games don't matter", but when another conference loses in these games it's "these guys just don't want it enough". ESPN is a joke.

[@garettb8392]

All of those factors had an impact on the game . Credit to Ohio state defensively. Your whole argument for many people justified the Florida state exclusion from the playoff . Very similar situation without the best qb playing . We just saw what a good defense can do without offense . This mirrors Florida state this game was a precursor . That being said Missouri didn’t really try to throw the ball down the field which was weird considering how they played during the season .
