This loss isn’t on Freeman he took chances and risks and that’s what you gotta do. Is he the reason why Hartman didn’t extend in the first drive to pick up that first down? Get over yourself
You had 10 guys on the field on the last play. Also, you run the ball once or twice on your last drive and you win.

The improvement is the QB that won't be here beyond this year though.
Absolutely agree with you about Hartman being the improvement. Look at the talent we have that is young and the talent coming in. 2 stud qbs. Rb room is loaded. Wr's are young and promising . Some nice bright spots on the defensive side. We are improving. Maybe not as quickly as we want but I like what I see. This loss sucks so bad but there is bright spots.

Maybe we shouldn't have been bargain bin shopping for an o coordinator in the off season.

ND bargain shopping while their fans are dropping a grand a ticket to see the staff shit their pants at the end of the game.

10 men on the field at the most crucial time of the game lol.. fucccckkkk

Inexcusable..

A few minor things & we win that game.. We’ve got a great team..

This one lands on the coaches for calling a soft first half & leaving a fu*#ing DE off line on the the last two plays.

That screen was there. Ohio State just made a play.
If hartman puts any air under that at all, its probably a first down and possibly 6. Im sure they are thinking even if its sniffed out its a very high probably of completion. I dont hate the call, and if they pop it and seal the game most criticizing it would be commending the guts to call it. It only sucks when what happens happened.
All that being said they probably win the game of they just run the ball there and dont run a slow developing run prior to that which caused to feel he couldnt make the handoff.

Painful loss. Both teams are physical and played tough. We have a lot of good young talent.
McCord is going to be good. He made some big throws tonight and bounced back quickly when he made mistakes.

Im torn on our coordinators. Its hard to want them gone when they put you within a play here and there from win over a talented OSU. Its maddening though that the defense always seems to have the wrong call that one or two plays a game that bite us in the games. On the third and 19 we had 4 guys overtop 2 WRs on the short side of the field. They had 3 guys on the wide side and we had 4. It was a weird alignment. They had harper over egbuka then had him drop out on the snap to undercut the deep out on the wide side (a long throw i would have let McCord make if he can and that WR was already covered and tried bringing the deep safety up to pick up the seam while the LB On that side covered the TE. 3 man rush was fine, but Harper needs to be manning up on egbuka, short side linebacker drops shading towards the middle the middle taking pressure off the safety on the shirt side seam. Would allow them on the wide side to cover man with a Safety overtop and the short side linebacker also providing support to the crossing route or TE running some of skinny post while you have 3 guys cover 2 WR wide on that side.
Whatever throw McCord makes is much tougher and likely forces them into something short of the sticks and time may run out or they get one more play from maybe the 8-10 yd line.

No he hasn’t, he’s been terrible his entire career
I would say he has always had rocks for hands and has dropped many ints. Poor guy is never going to forget that. He dropped two in the game. One of them would have been a great catch. The last one was expected. Watts was no great shakes tonight either.

If the 10 player on the field thing is true, you have to let someone go over that. I'm really sorry but that's absolute malpractice.
Can you start with the head coach
For the most part Parker called a good game you hit that screen games over it was set up a 5 star d end made a play
you run the ball once on your last possession and you win
