The guys play a more talented team to a draw until about 8 minutes to go and we:
Need a new QB
Need a new OC
See that MF is overmatched.

Did I miss anything?
Just a new OC. He has been consistently spanked in games where more than a pulse is required.

That's coaching and experience, not talent. But I know you know that being from Iowa.
Agreed if you truly think they have the 1st round talent. I don't think we've seen it. Could these two OL coaches be really that bad? Especially since both had Joe Moore award caliber groups.

Here's hoping you're right and I'm wrong.

Yes, only one of those are correct. Tommy is a liability. There is no argument otherwise. Zero time to throw and Freeman had them ready.

You really saw TB do something special? I want him to be the man... He just isn't
And your basing this off of one start against the second best team in the country on the road? And him having 2 secs to throw the ball since the Oline couldn’t protect?

Ya let’s just throw him in the trash cause he’s the only football player that will never learn from mistakes and get better your right….🙄

To the few people drinking the Kool-Aid and talking about ND winning next year against OSU… really?

That’s the response to this result? Our OLine looks like a mess. Tommy called three straight runs on 1st and 25. We just got shutout in the second half, we just lost with JSN out most of the game, OSU has WR depth galore that will carry to next year, and our track record in these big games isn’t exactly the greatest.

There are some positive takeaways, but there’s also burrying your head in the sand.
 

GATTACA!

Inconsistency, by a first time starter, on the road, as a sophomore? Who woulda thought. Still has nothing to do with his throwing motion.
He's been wildly inaccurate ever since he fucked with his throwing motion.

I think the sour grapes are due to how badly the offense looked in the second half. . . A bowl game and now this week, we get completely blanked and have zero answers in the second half. Some of those calls by Rees looked very bad.

There were certainly some good take aways. Solid D. Showed up ready to play. Buchner didn't look overwhelmed by the moment. . . . But man did the offensive execution and especially play calling blow in the 2nd half. . . That leaves cause for serious concern and is why I along with others are pretty bummed how this thing ended. They ought to be serious concerns with Buchner overall and Tommy calling plays going forward.

No. It's the IT factor I spoke of years ago,... when everyone hated Tommy. He could at least make the offense work the field. I love Tommy, and the newness of his abilities on this end of the spectrum.. TB Is not a championship QB.

there is no way OSU is the second best team in the nation. They seemed ordinary to me. Georgia, Bama, probably Clemson.

I am with the crew that thinks Buchner has a heck of a lot of improving to do. He looked pretty bad at throwing and a bit slower than I hoped running.

I think this game showed that Freeman can play in big games. Honestly, based on recruiting, Freeman out coached Day tonight.
