Snap Judgments: Seth McLaughlin injury puts Ohio State offensive line in spotlight once again

[@ianw.9185]

Life is pain. Get better soon, Seth. You'll always be a Buckeye!

[@jasonwilliams2941]

Prayers Seth Next Man Up

[@BuckeyeFan9591]

Next man up! Prayers Seth

[@msmith837]

😂 we seen that already

[@peterk7662]

You've got to be shitting me 😮

[@Yoooowesshum]

🙏Godspeed Seth. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Man this just sucks

[@jabrielfisher6976]

We literally have THE worst luck with injuries/refs

[@williambates9186]

Refs? Why’s that

[@debramassie2252]

My go to Podcast never disappoints! Thanks guys!

[@nicholasprakas3660]

Sucks but this doesn’t sink this team. Next man up.

[@athanprakas6718]

Hey man!

[@ohiost74]

This is a massive loss, maybe you forgot what happened vs Missouri. There absolutely no depth behind the starters which are already suspect.

[@dearriusprice150]

@@ohiost74it’s a big lose but next man up it’s Ohio state they have more blue chippers than everyone not named Uga and bama they better find a way to

[@msmith837]

Is NO NEXT MAN

[@anthonytitone]

Hinzman at Center & Sierevald at guard? Maybe Kacmarek with some FB blocking too

[@Beaumo66]

damn seth :( I am so sorry and get better soon.. Happy he is a Buckeye

[@dubfun2393]

Just gotta take it one game at a time atp, find a way to beat Indiana and get ready for the Michigan Dline to potentially have its way again for the 4th straight year and game plan around that, which I think we will. If we get a shot at the B10 chip game against Oregon it’s going to be a rough one if Ryan day and chip kelly come in with the mentality that we have to out physical them. We have JJ emeka tate innis Trey n QJ. We gotta find ways to get them the ball in open space or 1on1 situations going forward

[@_z4ch4ri4s_]

It's that time of the season for injuries. Does it suck, yes...but elite teams find a way to win. Next man up.

[@chriskelley85]

WOWWWWW this is awful man... prayers up

[@daves4589]

Just devastating. For Seth and for the team. He’s been so good. Thank you Seth and hope for a speedy recovery. Welp….when you cast a small net, you don’t have a lot of choices to fall back on. Let’s hope for the best.

[@travisshuttleworth630]

Absolutely brutal

[@UncleRicoOSU]

Really disappointing and odd that Birm is trying to shut down discussion about the turf. Fans have the right to be angry about it. It’s not some conspiracy. Slit film turf has been proven to increase these types of injuries and our AD continues to tell everyone it’s perfectly safe. Meanwhile every single NFL team that used slit film turf has already replaced their fields due to the safety concerns. People need to talk about this more, not less.

[@Zoetropeification]

Agreed

[@yissaskarlg4708]

How does something like this happen?? Are we practicing hard??? N November.

[@shewr4664]

ADVERSITY is part of sport..unfortunately it is reality. Prayers for Seth. The Bucks will regroup… thank goodness it did not happen in the middle in a game.

[@Bond007fan]

remember 2014! 3rd string qb. We are Ohio State. Next man up. Praying for Seth. Love his leadership and skill. I don't know if they got Seth because Hinzman didn't grade as a Champion last year? I think this late in the season they have enough on Hintzman, Padillia and Montgomery to determine who's the highest grade. I heard they might keep Hinzman at guard because him & tackle Jackson has good chemistry. We will see. but i think it can be a silver lining, that Indiana doesn't have any film on what will be on the field Saturday.

[@msmith837]

😂 totally different, we seen next man up

[@jimbeaux89]

Next man up and all, but when recruiting for O line is at an all time low, the next man up isn’t all that good

[@Doggles007]

This is awful. Feel so bad for Seth. Also absolutely devastating to this team’s playoff hopes. Hope Hinzman isn’t too rusty at center and Seriveld can be a serviceable LG…

[@johnmuehlheim6090]

How does this not deep-6 the Buckeyes title run which starts this Saturday?

[@Number3boyz]

Remember we had to switch are line up at pennn state and Oregon and did alright. We’re going to do just fine at home. We can also chip with tight end and we have a mobile QB.

[@joshk937]

Well there is only 1 option now and that's to go win the whole damn thing! The injuries can galvanize a team, see 2014 Cardale Jones. Our defense will travel and I still like our chances, GO Bucks!

[@DCDH7007]

Love your spirit and view point. Go bucks!!

[@kentacohut3011]

Blessings Seth , recover soon

[@JoeWill-t5i]

We’ve won with a 3rd string QB. We ca still do this. The stuff Seth brought can’t leave. The juice and confidence that guy has brought can’t be wasted. I hope this is an opportunity for Carson and Austin to come in and own those positions and roll coming down the stretch.

[@ohiost74]

The difference between that year and this year is the Oline. 12 Gaugr had mutiple future NFL starters blocking for him and zeke. This year, the team couldn't afford any injuries to the weakest position group on the team. You bought in Seth from Alabama because we had no center last year. There is no quality depth behind the starters. We can get by Indiana and Michigan, but what happens when we go against Oregon again or SEC teams. Alabama and Georgia are stacked with 5 star elite tank on their DLs.

[@JoeWill-t5i]

@ well Carson was last years center. And center isn’t the most crucial part of the O-line. Of the positions on the O-line it’s the easiest to fill. There is experience enough in that OL room we can get production from a center. That doesn’t mean Seth will be easily replaced. I’m saying QB replacing is far more difficult in the 3 deep. We have a couple other players that have seen time still available. Zen for all his faults was not terrible in that Oregon game. He held his own when he came in. He will be back at some point his injury isn’t season ending. You can get a good line out of this group still.

[@michaelthompson729]

That's typical create the most horrendous scenario possible.....

[@megamc3803]

Our coaching and depth on the O-line is at an all time low and this was the last thing we could afford at one of the weakest spots going into this year. This is what having all time low O-line recruiting and development will get you in modern CFB. I just hope we make it to the B1G title game but I don't give a shit what happens after that. Natty hopes or expectations are officially out the window with this. This team always gets the most cursed injuries and horrific refs at times it can't afford them. People will say next man up but this team is not the 2014 team specifically on its O-line coaching and depth. Sometimes you just don't have enough talented natty caliber ready guys at one of your most thin and vitally important positions. Its the most important position to win a natty in current CFB and we do not have the depth or O-line coaching to win a natty with this many key pieces out. Seth was the last thing keeping this O-line at natty level and people don't realize how much this kills any natty hopes this year. Sucks to see such a talented team get completely screwed from a natty due to cursed injury luck from the biggest and vitally important weak spot. Almost like a curse wanted to kill this team of destiny in the one place it could be killed. It will just go down as one of many other natty caliber teams that got screwed by cursed injury luck at the worst times and we have had plenty of those teams before. It tends to happen more often than not with us.

[@KB3TLE]

THERE GOES THE NATTY

[@thefireshow1]

Stop it! We don't quit! Fight on.😡

[@Toddytoad7]

Oh shit!

[@williambates9186]

Ducks are going to feast on your offensive line, especially having a bye week a couple weeks before the championship game.

[@zachzohr1306]

Honestly, is there a path to recovery for this offensive line now

[@anthonytitone]

Hinzman at center & Sierevald at guard maybe?

[@thefireshow1]

Fight on!😎

[@dylandavis8644]

I hate the next man up bullshit. Some guys are really hard to replace. This is not going to he a seamless next man up situation.

[@donaldshotts4429]

I think they first said "Next man up" at the JFK assassination. I hate it too. This kid played 2 years at Alabama and was a Remington award contender

[@kentacohut3011]

2014 took 3QBs this year I guess 2024 it’s 3 O line man!

[@l.sueszabo9618]

I fear this sinks the natty for the most talented team we've had in yrs. I am physically ill.

[@katiespencer3965]

Me too 😣I don’t know whether to cry or stare into space

[@timmwynn8334]

No faith smh

[@b.douglas2753]

Have faith.

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

I know it sucks, but these are the moments when these kids need our support the most. They're not done fighting, so don't give up on them just yet. Prayers to Seth for a speedy recovery.🙏🏾 Go Bucks!

[@James_Vocals]

Some people give up to easily, We’ve seen Ohio State lose a player who was murdered, And started a third string QB and won it all, Simply believe in this team

[@OfficiallyOrca]

Seth was playing so well for us. Remington finalists level. I'm hurt for him but I know the fellas will bond together. It is time for The Twins and Luke Montgomery to step up they have been in the program now a couple of years. Time to grow tf up!! #GoBucks

[@phillamoore157]

Injured doing what?! Have the practices become THAT hard, or are these guys THAT fragile? Both? I’ve been watching the Buckeyes, and college football for over 40yrs, as a 2nd gen alumni….and I’ve NEVER seen an era where this many players have been injured, this many years in a row. There are more rules to keep these guys healthy than ever, and yet these guys are ALWAYS having catastrophic injuries. I’ve never seen anything like this. *I feel bad for Seth, or anyone else who has a season-ending injury. Obviously, no one steps onto the field looking to have a season ending injury. But, something isn’t adding up with all these injuries, year after year. ALL teams are banged up across the league….but, NO ONE is having the issues this Ryan Day era Ohio State team has had the past 4yrs, with all these injuries.*

[@willjay921]

Season over

[@thefireshow1]

No, it is NOT!

[@willjay921]

@thefireshow1 we are about to face 2 weeks worth of devastating pass rushing DT'S. It's not good... could we win, perhaps but I won't be betting on it. Better hope Will stays healthy & mobile. That run game, rough.

[@rollandgkerr]

What happened to Byers Auto sponsorship ?

[@tonyr1950]

Unbelievable

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Win 🏆 one for Seth

[@JonMacTavish]

I would guess Ryan and staff have already made the decision.

[@erikchappell9015]

Lots of trey blocking at RB

[@brutus1562]

next man up, Day and Co will make the proper decision, move the pocket, TE’s in, ADAPT AND OVERCOME!!! Go Bucks!!! O-H!!!

[@Zoetropeification]

Win one for the Sether.

[@bohica2475]

This sucks. God bless Seth with a speedy recovery. But, Ohio State won a championship with a 3rd string QB. How bad do you want it? Go Bucks!
