Well the last play exemplify Ohio state "softness", Ohio state Center and Guard laying down flat on their backs while Michigan DT plowing through them and smacking Mccord on the mouth...

[@MoneyIsSilver]

As a Michigan fan, I think the difference was your QB really can't extend a play once the pocket collapses on him. If he has protection, he can make perfect throws and we saw some of them, but once he feels the pressure he doesn't really know how to improvise and he just panic throws - and that's what cost the game.

[@tomhanny2600]

Spot on.

[@tomhanny2600]

He missed on Mc cord. He was a creation of playing with MARVIN HARRISON which I will agree someone should have seen the lack of athleticism. We’ve been blessed with good qb play, it hides a lot of warts.

[@tomhanny2600]

I’m not a Michigan fan but you gotta hand it to them. They have a lot of adversity and still play together as a team.

[@ricks7990]

He made a nice throw on the run from his own end zone that was caught by Fleming for a first down.

[@tomhanny2600]

@@ricks7990 he did but when you watch him in person he can’t move around very well and has receivers open on every play. He locks in and forces passes consistently. How many interceptions might he have had this year if they didn’t drop them. All the teams in the top 10 have qbs that can move in and out of the pocket. We need a portal qb to bridge the gap on our new recruits. We will be fine. We had online issues all year and add an immobile qb to that mix and it’s tough to be consistent running and in pass pro

[@nadimahmed866]

I feel like Day is a inconsistent play caller, he talks about being tough and running the football, but his offensive philosophy is based around passing. He’ll run the ball good and some how he always gets away from it. Michigan has a identity it’s not always fun to watch but they stick to it no matter what and OSU at this point does not.

Come on, OS fans. OS almost lost to ND, Penn State, and Maryland. You were lucky this year and used all luck before you met Michigan. Be mutual and face it. There are so many young players in the team, and they need time to grow. I'm pretty sure OS will be stronger next year.

[@Ghost_of_a_Flea]

It's not all on him but I'm going to just say: The red flags were there all year with McCord re: this game. We all knew it, even if we tried to deny it at certain points. I'm not enthusiastic about the future going into realignment riding with him, either.

[@OldGuy2-m4c]

The best leaders and managers all delagate to assistants.... Day is QB Coach, Offensive coordinator, game manager and HC... and Special Teams needs a coach but Day is micromanaging all the decisions. OSU needs an Offensive Coordinator in the sky box because Day can't see the plays from the sidelines. Nick Sabain has an assistant who is the coach for QB, OC, Sp Tms, and manages the game. How many blown Time Outs this year? If Day simply trusted he would win half the games he himself has lost because he is overwhelmed and nobody can run the whole show by themselves.

[@Steve-mi3lh]

They just make them tough up there. Plus the coaching is incredibly advanced.

[@yissaskarlg4708]

Not aggressive enough on both sides of the ball so disappointing for buckeye fans no aggression just very poor performance and pathetic! Ford McCord killed us! Gotta do better! Go Bucks!!

The toughness issue is ridiculous - a lot of these players played hurt at various points throughout out their careers at OSU. Let’s give that one a rest. Roster management - not developing backups and building depth, and play calling are the real issues.

[@ricks7990]

Not developing backups has been a problem for years. I don't understand their unwillingness to sprinkle in some of the backups (excluding players who are going to redshirt) into games that we're going to win anyway.

As far as Michigan’s future it’s complete speculation because when you get down to the truth of the matter, you have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen. And neither do I.

[@robertbricker]

There are several really simple explanations - any of which would have changed the outcome. In order. (1) Bookend interceptions - clearly changed the game from end to end. It reminded me of the games where OSU topped UM in the past, in reverse. (2) STILL can't stop Michigan running in the 2nd half. For a team that prides itself on half-time adjustments, UM has outdone OSU in EACH of the last 3 years, and once again the defense could NOT stop UM rushing when it had to. (3) THE touchdown call - which just as easily could've been called an interception, but I hate to blame referee calls. I also really hate to think of Coach Day as the metaphorical reincarnation of John Cooper but THREE IN A ROW?!? Wow. I find myself going back to the day Coach JT took over the program and in his speech talked about how we'd be proud of the team ... next game in Michigan. It's been a long time since the worm's turned, but it has now, no question about it. And we are down looking up.

[@frankkluz9787]

McCord was M's - MVP - with the two interceptions and the missed 'open' WR's !!! The OL was co-mvp's for not giving him enough time mostly.

On the last pick he had Trey wide open for a MINIMUM of 15 yards. It is fair to question Days decision to not go for it on 4th and 2 in TCUN territory.

You just don't make stupid decisions like that. Ryan Day about came out of his skin. McChord has no pocket presence, no command leadership, he telegraphs throws and is completely unable to look off defenders. He also has no zip on the ball and makes horrible decisions.
