Everyone knew it was coming where was Xavier watts?

It was cover 0

 

[IA4irish]

That was so easy for Ohio state. Nothing exotic. Crowd the box, pray someone gets home. Huge cushion on smith. That’s up there with a double safety blitz

 

[T-Boone]

Will Howard was with the OSU team for 6 months and its like his mother is their super fan? The coverage needs to do a lot better than this. Its pathetic.

 

[Junkhead]

Do you deliberately give up a touchdown here now?

Then they need 2. No point?

 

[CoachB]

Well...knew we would come back. Our boys had no quit. They were executing out of their mind and we were shooting ourselves in the foot. We play like we usually do the whole game and that one is ours. None of that BS of how amazing OSU is and how we aren't close. Get that sissy crap out of here. Our boys battled, just didn't quite execute like we needed to. Love this team.

 

[dang227]

We can’t have Gray start next year. Kid blows. Legit just let Smith run right by him on the biggest play of the game. Smith don’t even have to do anything

 

[Giddyup]

Karson Hobbs time

 

[NDMatt91]

Gray has been an absolute liability all year. What is he doing there? No bump. No pressure. Just straight torched.

He better have some competition for that spot next year. He gets embarrassed on the regular.

I think we're gonna be pretty thin at corner next year. We're hoping for Hobbs or 2 true freshman to be the 3rd corner next year. Mickens is the best in the business, but you can't bank on yet another true freshman having a BenMo or Moore impact in year 1.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

You guys are shitting on a kid for getting beat one time by a top-3 pick.

Shit on Al. Not Gray.

A generational talent. Smith is amazing

 

[LifelongFan]

Gray was set up to fail by Golden. At least have some help. Gray never had a shot deep.

 

[Tejas]

This team just couldn’t afford to get behind. It was too big of a hill to climb. You must have a passing game. Always.

We can barely afford 2nd and 10

 

[sfk324]

Why the fuck is Christian Grey on Smith Jesus fucking Christ

Because he has to be on someone. Pick your poison, Smith or Egbuka, he can't cover either of them and the plan all night has clearly been go at Gray when you absolutely need a play just like USC.

 

[NormND_44]

Gray got us into this game. He is battling a generational talent

 

[irishff1014]

You guys are shitting on a kid for getting beat one time by a top-3 pick.

Shit on Al. Not Gray.

He has been beat by everyone he has tried to cover tonight. He was terrible at usc other than the pick. He struggled against Penn state other than the int.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

Do you deliberately give up a touchdown here now?

No

 

[Irish Man3]

Hats off to these kids and coaches for fighting back and making this season special. This game could’ve been embarrassing and it wasn’t. Thanks gentleman

 

[Blazers46]

How big is that FG…

 

[NDRock]

I hate the blitz there but that’s been our MO.

We sat back and Howard completed his first 14 passes. It’s the problem when you can’t get any pressure with your front 4.

 

[NDMatt91]

Gray got us into this game. He is battling a generational talent

Yep. No doubt in my mind Gray will be an NFL player.

 

[CTIDANDREW]

The gifted us a chance to get a third down stop by running two terrible plays on first and second down to give us a third and eleven…then we decide to blitz and leave Smith on an island with Gray.

SO FUCKING TERRIBLE!

 

[Tejas]

Probably should have just let him score on the long pass

 

[Rocketman84]

Give the ball to LOVE more please!

Seems as though somebody wants Leonard to be the hero, I said if he had more than 12 carries we lose, Love getting less than 15 is asinine in a game of this magnitude, but 3-4 is cause for somebody to re-evaluate everything.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Then they need 2. No point?

is it more likely we get an onside kick or that we hold them to 0 points from the 10?

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

We can’t have Gray start next year. Kid blows. Legit just let Smith run right by him on the biggest play of the game. Smith don’t even have to do anything

We wouldn't have made the title game without him. He's fine

 

[BleedingGold]

Boy also was getting torched against USC and only saved by late game int’s.

 

[GowerND11]

I think gray could cover Egbuka.

put Moore on Smith. Or bracket with Gray.

 

[irishu]

Great season, lads. Reload and run it back

 

[dang227]

Yeah that was my thought. As soon as I saw them all go and then hit a wall I was like “fuck” and then yikes… fuck

Front seven isn’t close to what you need to win a championship

 

[Riddickulous]

Totally outclassed talent wise AND crippled by injuries and still fought to the final whistle. Sadly just not enough.

 

[MacIrish75]

lol what do you guys want Gray to do against Smith on *that* play?
