This is my first time watching tOSU and I gotta say they aren't that impressive. Is this the norm for them?

Bizarre ass decision to go for it on 4th and 5 at midfield. D playing great, pin them deep.

One blown play on D is the difference.

Well that and nobody trying to go after the big house on that scoop and score, wtaf?

How is this game only 5 minutes into the 3rd? Didn't it start at 7:30?

Man nice job by Dotson. New ballgame.

Offense gets going and D gives up a massive play.

We are within one score with 7 minutes left. No way I figured that. Let’s do this.

Played much better than I expected but lost. It’s not good enough anymore. Franklin is 1-7 vs OSU and 3-4 vs both Michigan and **** Michigan State.

I’m not saying he needs to be fired but I’m mot gonna gonna lose any sleep if he goes to USC or LSU, I just don’t have a proposal for a replacement. Fortunately it’s not my job.

Pail Zeise of all people said it well

The defense gave them every opportunity to win this game. But Clifford throws that awful pick and then they get the ball back and go nowhere with it again. The offensive line is a major problem on this team and has been for Franklin's entire tenure. The lack of an inside running game has burned this team now in all 3 losses. Teams with any semblance of a decent defense can easily scheme against them. Clifford's refusal to step up in the pocket cost him a couple of sacks and of course, the scoop & score. Yurcich told him that he wanted him to stand in the pocket longer rather than immediately escaping. Unfortunately, that means that Clifford doesn't climb the pocket like he should. As a result, the ends are able to crash around the corner and he's stuck. They were good enough to win this game but 3 turnovers and a missed FG won't get it done.

Defensively, I'd be pretty happy to not see Castro-Fields and Brandon Smith out there anymore. TCF can't consistently cover anyone. He leaves way too much of a cushion and he gets lost in zone defenses. He also can't tackle worth anything. Smith just wants to lower his head and hit people, usually missing. On the two big runs that Henderson had, Smith as the MLB failed to diagnose the play and fill the correct area. The first one he whiffed on his read and the second one he ran right into the blocker and took himself out of the play. He's a targeting foul waiting to happen as I've said a few times before and he also sucks at tackling. And Joey Porter, Jr. certainly gets a lot of penalties for all the **** that he talks out there.

So now the season is really worthless. Franklin has now gone 5 straight seasons without winning a big game. A win over Michigan or Sparty will only serve to spoil their seasons and won't mean anything to PSU's placement so I don't consider those 'big' opportunities. This is the mediocrity we get with Franklin as coach and the cycle will continue on and on until he can find an offensive line that is the fear of the conference. I can't imagine USC or LSU would sign up for this.

Murdered by big plays.

I think they played pretty well and had a chance to win it, but Ohio state just had too many big plays. The defensive TD, and what? 4 or 5 40+ yard plays.

Yep. Lest we forget it was a one score game until what, 3 minutes left in the game?

I felt the whole dynamic of the game changed when we went for it on fourth down at midfield.

Had a chance after OSU chose to go for it on 4th and 3 or whatever in field goal range (up 3... I kinda get it but whatever).

We pick up 5 yards in 1st down and then decide on 2nd to try a bum ass run play between the tackles that worked soo well all game... then that out of bounds play, then it's 4th and 5 again and NOW they punt.

Cannot stand Franklin's game management

The bubble screens/quick outs were working all night to the overloaded side. Use that spread formation to help your run game. Any time we have 3 WRs and they only had 2 DBs out in coverage it was a solid 8 to 12 yards, every time.
