Ohio State vs. Oregon Notebook: Josh Simmons and Will Kacmarek Injured, Ducks Beat Buckeyes Without Star Defensive End Again and Jeremiah Smith Extends Touchdown Streak
RCD is never short on excuses. Truth is his teams get the lump in big games when it's time to put up or shut up they fold. This Buckeye team is good but is simply not good enough to win a CFP Championship. Time to get ready for Nebraska because I know they are ready to get some Buckeye ass.
If you can’t make a fourth and one, you don't deserve to win.
Game was lost by this coaching staff with 1:47 left in the game. Will Howard falling down hurt but this staff has to recognize time and distance. Need to run out of bounds. 34 seconds left in this game killed this team for the possible field goal. Dink and dunk to get the extra yards. Sideline is your friend here. Poor clock management and play calling. Coaching staff lost this game in the end.
When it took :47 to get the first down, I had a feeling we were not going to make it. JJ caught a ball a yard short of the first down marker early in the drive and didn't even seem to have the awareness to fight for that last yard to not only stop the clock but get the first. I get it, he's a true freshman, but that wasn't the only mistake he made on that drive.
Egbuka played like a senior though, and when he caught that deep ball to get us close, I thought maybe we might pull it out. Then JJ had the OPI, which I agree, shouldn't have been a pass play at all. Or should have been an endzone shot, then run on second down, then you put the field goal unit out there on third down and if something goes wrong you have your last time out to try again on 4th.

Sideline is your friend here. Poor clock management and play calling. Coaching staff lost this game in the end. It kills me with Day and his staff, special teams are extremely important and seconds count.
The Simmons news really sucks. The lost was tough but man, I’ll take a road loss by 1 to a top 5 team over any loss to an unranked team or a blowout loss to anyone.

Too many penalties and stop throwing the ball sideways!!! No crossing routes over the middle, best receiving room in the country, make the defense chase the WR's. Turnovers and field position. How can your all - American DB get beat by the same receiver doing the same play??? Very little pressure by Knowles, not impressed with the D, time to move on, either the scheme is too complex or guys are not
doing their job. JT trying to make a play instead of doing his job to get the QB, just do your job!!!
I’’m no expert, but don’t those crossing routes and slants but the linebackers in conflict and help make it easier to run the ball. It is head-scratching.
I said this elsewhere, but I think Kelly is calling the lateral plays because Howard isn't a guy who can pick apart a defense with darts into the middle of the field.
or .... chip kelly historically doesnt call plays over the middle...and if we are being honest .. with how uber athletic Safeties and LBs are getting... using the middle is being used less and less so WRs dont get killed on the field so easily. also Oregon's scheme is exactly like UGAs... which protects the middle HEAVILY

yeah, Like the play that causes the OPI. Why didn't you run the ball in attempt to get a better position for attempt to win the game on FG.
When it took :47 to get the first down, I had a feeling we were not going to make it.
