Sure looked like a wake up call for the defense 

Defense has to start attacking offenses so they can get off the field and save their energy.    Not like whatever they were doing to start the Marshall game just sitting back and playing passive and hoping the other team makes a mistake.  

I noticed some were starting to make the comparison to James Franklin after Saturday.  That's not really accurate, Franklin put some time in at Vandy.

He's more of a rich man's Marcus Freeman.  Inherited a program.

Cool, but I don't really give a shit.  Should have never been that close and we have 99 other things to fix.

I agree with him but without calling specific players out all we can say is it's a mixed bag, some players on this roster have the fortitude but others don't.  It's not about the weight room or training it's a DNA thing.

The loss on Saturday bothers me because it's the same way all his teams lose:

1 .  A "bend but don't break" defense that allows dink and dunk offenses to slowly wear them down over a game.  This eventually leads to major breakdowns

2.  An offense that abandons the run game when it doesn't' come easy, because they're not good enough to get it done in the trenches

3. Special teams mishaps or game management 

Ohio State brass made some miscalculations during the Meyer scandal.  That Day would be good enough to quickly learn on the job and that college football was going to give favor to pass first teams, but neither are true.  I believe that Day's time at Ohio State will be a cautionary tale not to try and change the formula for success.  Ohio State will have success again when they hire a tough nosed coach that relies on defense and running the ball.

Egbuka and Williams have a chance.  I'll go with one 1st rounder. 

It's so rare that our defense actually disrupts a play or blows it up in the backfield.  The ball is basically just getting snapped and they only react to whatever the offense decides to do.  Simply occupying space.  

Bend but don't break is trash.  All that bending you just wear yourself out and get run over at the end.

mop them up next time?  bit disrespectful don't you think considering they just beat us with better coaching and play tonight

Such an ugly game so far.   Where is our defense, have we even touched Gabriel?

that receiver was tiny too, why can't burke tackle him 

I'm so tired of the 15 yard horizontal passes 

Oregon has played better all game so far.  We only have 7 because of a missed call.  

Ughh.  Still mind blowing that we wasted a talent like CJ Stroud because we couldn't field a defense.

I would feel confident if I knew the refs will stay out of the way and let the players decide the game like last week.  But you never know with so many eyes and money on the line this time.

Man, so many transfers.  I don't even remember this guy.

"an altercation between two people"   

I can't believe we just dropped JJ into the lineup right after Marv leaves.  Like how spoiled are we?!?!   

We have been pretty bad at some basic things.   Fumble recoveries and plus Howard doens't know how to slide and draw targeting penalties etc

Ughhhhh

I didn't know the best in america had to leave a massive cushion 

some guys that will never use the field got to decide what it should be.  probably while golfing 

Turf is our biggest problem 

Good for him.  It's crazy how long the NCAA its universities managed to keep exploiting the players and violating century old federal law for decades.  I guess it was easier to say "not my problem"

QB:  Justin Fields
RB:  Maurice Clarett
WR1:  Jeremiah Smith
WR2:  Cris Carter
WR3:  Ted Ginn JR
TE:  John Frank

Troy Smith is also acceptable though.

Feels like game time is becoming a week to week thing now.  Was it always like this?  I never paid attention to this aspect.  

I assume it's all about maximizing ratings
