Nick Wright: Clay Travis isn’t actually one of the dumbest people alive. He just pretends to be for money.
Clay Travis: I swear to God I’m genuinely one of the dumbest people alive
It is unbelievable that anyone could continue to point to Jeremiah’s response at the end of the third quarter as a problem with this program or as a lack of leadership. Completely detached from reality.
@SpencerHolbrook That is 100% the biggest issue across the board. But imo that doesn't really have all that much to do with Ohio State playing a backup quarterback on offense. Maybe they feel a bit more pressure, but that's not even close to the primary reason.
The defense took zero chances! They played drop 8 on over a third of Dylan Raiola’s drop backs.
I love when people confidently say things that are the direct opposite of the truth.
It’s not that deep.
They do not have a QB. Their stud got hurt.
They have a true freshman who is not talented who I guarantee you they never thought would have to start for them now or ever.
The defense knows he is awful and they have to take tons of chances and gamble.
@SpencerHolbrook They did. They've actually been blitzing on those key downs pretty often since the Texas game, and every time, the opponent seems to know it's coming (Indiana should have had a game-winning touchdown).
But the larger point is that they didn't lose bc they were too aggressive.
It’s really a shame that the Julian Sayin injury ruined what could have been a very special season for Ohio State. Oh well. Try again next year. And the good news is they don’t even need to make any major changes since that’s the only reason they’re losing these games.
"Hey Ryan, Cargoshorts McAsskiss here from the Columbus Gazette
How do you think the fanbase's unrealistic expectations played in to the two dropped interceptions and the fake punt?"
It’s really shocking to me that Ohio State is largely playing well on both sides of the ball but is losing on all the high leverage plays and in the margins. That never happens.
The athletic department really tried to sell it to Block O/the students. Like “Hey, it’s fun! You can take your shoes off and wave them!”
The students agreed! Just… not how they wanted them to lol
A lot of people don’t know the lore here.
The chant was “O-H-I-O rip his fucking head off!”
Ohio State obviously didn’t love this. So my freshman year, they made a push to make it “O-H-I-O take his shoes!”
It then became “O-H-I-O rip his fucking head off, and take his shoes!”
