It’s not even the number of penalties it’s where the penalties come? How many times have we had the ball at the 1 this year and get a false start? Just so frustrating.

 

The least cerebral team I can remember.

Never a doubt :lol2: OSU just basically handed Maryland the game. Nobody wanted to win this game besides Haskins and Dobbins. Those dudes came to play but even they didn’t play great. Worst football game I’ve seen from Ohio State in a long time. This was worse than Purdue and Iowa. Purdue and Iowa just kicked Ohio States butt. Ohio State basically gave this game away.

Because......? Money, that's why. They would bring TV money. They don't deserve to be in the discussion at all, period.

 

Contract was signed years ago, money paid out this year will be the same regardless of who's in or who is out.

OSU nearly made McFarland a Heisman candidate by the end of the first half.

The least cerebral team I can remember.

Also those false starts almost always come from the right side of the line. Changes need to be made. If Taylor and Bowen are healthy they need to play. If Meyer can help he needs to play. Jordan is not a center. The moving an all American to center thing has worked 2/3 times. It hasn’t worked with Jordan. Just so many changes. Davis, Grinch, Johnson, and Stud should have all found their own transportation back to Columbus.

Anyone care to comment on Urban's sideline character? To me, from watching the game, he just didn't seem "engaged". I hope the dude is well.

My brother, I have been saying for 2 months Jordan isn’t a center. Meyer won’t change much in-season, he doesn’t have the same guts as a Saban.

His team was playing like crap. What do you expect him to look like?

From an outsider looking in, it looked like there was more to it than just the game itself.

 

He just didn't seem to be as engaged in the game as some of his assistants were. Maybe it has been this way all season long, this was the first time I've caught an OSU game for an extended period.

 

Just seemed off to me.

It is a for profit business.

 

It is. It doesn't mean they should be in the discussion anymore. I mean, come on, it was Maryland, even Sparty and Iowa beat them easily.

Don't be silly. TV revenue will NOT be the same regardless of who's in or who's out.

I agree. He didn't look physically well.

WoW!!!

Big 12 football is absolute torture. Give me a field position game like last week all day over this game. Too damn stressful. I was literally worried that OSU tied it up in regulation and left way too much time. I don’t know how Big 12 fans can stand games like this week in and week out.

The same business model keeps schools like UCF out by default.
