Pathetic.
And that powerhouse MD team that manhandled us got worked
This Ohio State game coming up might be 100-0

That’s rude and totally unfair for anyone to say.
How disrespectful.
To OSU.
There’s no way in hell we should be getting a 3% chance

This is one of the reasons why I'm not even close to off the Fleck bandwagon yet. He lost the two most indispensable players on the team -- Smith and Winfield -- right at the beginning of the year. Smith was necessary to stabilize a true freshman QB, Winfield to stabilize a questionable back-end of the secondary. And his recruits -- Annexstad, Bateman, Faalele, Terrell Smith, Autman-Bell, etc. -- are showing significant potential already. I do hope they make a bowl game this year, but my sights are set on 2019 and 2020 for a jump into the B1G upper crust.

I agree with all of that Pete. They started the season as the youngest team in the country and got even younger with the injuries to Smith and Winfield. As you said, they were probably the 2 most indispensable players on the team.

Don't forget Brooks too...Brooks/Smith tandem both hurt.

Agree, you can tell there is talent there but it is so young. I'm trying to be patient with this group. Still a year or 2 away. Hopefully better decisions are also on their way from the coach.

I get it.
But imo, those were three crappy PUNTS. No more, no less.

He needs to quit bailing out as he throws. Too many dead ducks launched off the back foot.

TWO

Back when it was leather helmets


Not playing every year HELPS

7-44 history

2 wins in past

37 years

1981
2000

OSU did vacate a win from the Tressel era, so that's nice.

Yeah, I'm sitting here thinking "we have a tough enough job as it is, no reason the refs should be helping Ohio State!"
