- The Game has been broken down and dissected from just about every angle, but the latest episode of the Tim May Podcast brings an even more unique perspective to what went wrong for Ohio State in a potentially program-changing loss.
On this edition of the podcast, Lettermen Row's Tim May and Austin Ward are joined on a loaded show by former Ohio State linebacker Matt Wilhelm, former Buckeyes defensive back Marlon Kerner and Sporting News college football writer Bill Bender to break down that defeat and what it means for the Buckeyes moving forward.

Hardwork beats talent when talent doesn't work hard
Amen!!!!!
michigan just imposed their will, that was physical beating they put on OSU
Our offensive line struggled a bit against Penn St as well
Thats the problem with having 4 OTs on line at Once. We need those mean pissed nasty OG like Jackson, Davis ect.
Any media members going to start asking the coaching staff some the hard questions?
What is MW talking about ? The O-Line and D-Line ARE NOT YOUNG.
OFFENSE

HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE ?
Ohio State look flat and just wasn't physical. Ryan Day play calling was horrible.
Defense couldn't stop the run.
What happen to silver bullet????
Blessings in Disguise! 🙏🏽💯
Day needs to hire a legitimate D coordinator and let him run the defense HE WANTS 2.....ZERO TACKLES FOR A LOSS
Don brown is available; laugh laugh
OSU struggled against Maryland, Northwestern and for a while against PSU. The blowout by Michigan was not a fluke.
Wait for it... Hassan Haskins just scored again! Go Blue!
Young team. Was a finesse team. The idea was to outscore teams and make them one dimensional. It didn't work. Playing tackles instead of guards on the O line didn't work. No in game adjustments were the biggest concern.
The biggest concern should be the culture shift in the two programs.
Trying to outscore teams and field a soft defense is exactly what did Rich Rod in. I hope OSU still pursues this scheme.
@@Jon-xp9fx True
@@mgoboski it might be true but the fact you wouldn't adjust to put in a 5 man line to avoid double teams makes me look at the coaching. Your linebacking play has been suspect as well. 5 star defensive players not developing. Everything needs to be evaluated.
The tackles at guard was a major issue. OSU would have simply outscored Michigan in spite of the weak defense had the guards been able to run block
This off season will determine the direction of the program for the next few years. Yes Day has won almost every game he’s played as a HC. However, he has yet to win a CFP Title and that’s gotta burn him. With Kelly going to LSU, maybe that means Marcus will come to OSU. Next year will be an interesting year
Has yet to win a natty??? He's been at ohio state basically two and a half years with last year. Lost one big ten game. Played for a championship last year vs an all time great bama team. Went to the playoff his first year.
@@michaelholley1361 yeah it’s ridiculous. First time head coach who in three years has made the playoffs twice and national championship once. Expectations are crazy around here.
@@michaelholley1361 I mean that one loss being That team up north. Feels like 10 losses to me, shit hurts. Call me petty but I have been a buckeye for over 2 decades, and haven’t missed a season since, even before that I knew what The game was growing up. I will agree, don’t think day is the issue.. at this point I am sure day knows there is something up with the defense and changes are coming. Buckeyes don’t play football the way the defense played Saturday. Physical and toughness has been there with day as head coach, it’s not there this season sooo let’s figure it out
Freeman has been announced as Notre Dame's new head coach. Won't be coming to Columbus.
They Game never got away from the Buckeyes,,, they got out coached and got their asses kicked for 60 minutes!!!!!
Smh the whole world can see how we lost, except our coaching staff they did nothing to stop the bleeding and we bled to death on the field.
Tim May is a grizzled vet, always liked his writing from the Columbus Dispatch back in the day.
We got beat simple as that
Stopping the run has been a problem starting with the Minnesota game
Listen fellas, when its come to officiating the last 15 yrs, the majority of non calls and bad spots in close games have went your way almost every time.
Yes, 2016 was an officiating trainwreck. We couldn't buy a call to save our lives that day. In a game where a single bounce of the ball could've changed the outcome, completely one-sided calls definitely made the difference in that game.
Stop the penaltys at bad times. Ttun wanted it more. This is a problem with recruiting nationaly they don't have the passion for the game.
I hope OSU thinks this is just a blip on the radar. Remember, streaks run in cycles. Michigan just got what they have been missing the last 10 years against OSU...CONFIDENCE. Quick question, Did Whilhelm have NFL success. Can't seem to find him.
We couldn’t completely shut them down down, but we could shut them up! Go Blue!
best podcast on ohio state. Ryan Day is the Kirby Smart of the Big10 when it comes to coaching common sense. He let Ewers go just like Kirby did Justin Fields go. Tressel played pryor instead of Beckman. Tressel played Troy instead of Justin Zwick. We didn't even let Quinn throw a ball. WTF? Should we be worried about a fake punt in the Rose Bowl? Any chance Day goes to NFL (Chicago) and Fickle comes back to OSU? Am I wrong thinking that Larry Johnson got passed over at PSU when Franklin came, and now when Day used dumb and dumber as our D coordinator's and he passed over Larry Johnson?
MSU made a few mistakes and got themselves in a hole. M didn’t. They played a great game, few mistakes. Were obviously more motivated too.
We don't run many screens because we have tackles playing guard.
Very true as to what Matt W. said. Matt wouldn't have made the tackles that he did at Ohio State if it weren't for his defensive lineman doing their job. Keeping offensive lineman from getting to Matt allowed him and all the other linebackers to make plays. Just ask Ken Dorsey of Miami.
Exactly why Larry Johnson needs to retire
@@michaelholley1361 Larry Johnson can not teach effort! If the guys don't want it more then the o-lineman that are blocking them then they get pushed out of the way, which is what happened! Watch the game again man, effort isn't on the coach, that's all they can do is prepare the players. The scheme SUCKED! Very few run blitzes, linebackers not hitting the gaps making the o-line react! Bad, just BAD!
@Buckguy 1 isn't the scheme on the coaches? I'd rather not watch that game ever again either.
@@michaelholley1361 the scheme, yes! But the effort is on the players, they didn't look like they wanted it man. Everyone else has mentioned it. The fact ttun looked fired up coming out the tunnel and osu looked like they were running laps! If you get whooped 1 play, you get up mad and fired up and make a play, not sulk about it! Just like the Oregon game, they expected to win just because it's The Ohio State Buckeyes!
You better hope this isnt the turning of the tide...next years Michigan team offensively is gonna be way better than this years team. Michigan has some stud wideouts and a great freshmen runningback.
2 lows this season. Oregon and Michigan. Hard for me to see 10-2 as a failure.
Lost the two hardest games. That's failing.
@@deeplorable8988 "Why do we fall, sir? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." You only fail if you give up. If you never give up you will eventually succeed.
At Ohio State, Alabama, & Clemson, if you miss out on the playoffs, you failed.
That short-list ebs and flows a bit over time, and Clemson may be being replaced by Georgia, and Oklahoma, before Riley left, was almost in that rarified air as well.
But, if you are a top 5 program in the country, yes, 10-2 and not making the playoffs, is failure.
Success or Failure. It’s binary. No moral victories. Nothing in between. You show up in the final four, your season was a success. If you don’t, you failed.
@@zerodarkthirty703 Let's wait to this weekend because Alabama could be bumped and should be with as a 2 lose team and too many close games against weak teams. Notre Dame and Oklahoma State are much more deserving.
Besides this is college and the only true winners are the seniors who get on NFL teams next year. A lot of Buckeyes players will be just fine cashing their multimillion dollar signing bonuses. Ying - Yang. It's all good if it doesn't kill you.
@@stevelenores5637 Mundane cliches seem like your go-to response. And yes, life is full of failure. Keep pushin forward, little fella
Just hire someone who can coach a defense. Let them hire their own assistants
I have to agree with Marlon. The Buckeyes' defense has to mirror the attitude of its head coach. You can't be the aggressor offensively and passive on defense. The DC also has to call timely defensive stunts and blitzes. I never felt like our defense has outsmarted offense all year, especially in the second half of games. That was evident when team would score on us in the second half all year. You can't castrate your athletes and expect them just make plays.
Staying in the nickel while the other team is playing two tight ends is the very definition of insanity. Watching Utah beat the shit out of Oregon in the Pac12 championship last night was another kick in the teeth. This iteration of the Buckeyes is softer than a newborn baby.
You guys and other media figures are partially to blame. Rather than ask tough questions in press conferences about changes and why the defense has been so bad all year, you kept popping rainbows and asking softball questions. Ask the tough questions
Ohio St world is going to lose their minds if they lose at home next year...lol...then it's back to back and going back to Ann Arbor...and the pressure REALLY builds:) Given THAT...the pressure is obviously already here for Ohio St...lol
They need to embrace the pressure and use it as fuel. Thank you for the idea.
Hire Utah’s DC. Those boys attack and tackle.
I love Tim! hahah He is funny!
What do you guys think about Gus Bradley calling the Defense and if Kerry doesn’t want to stay how about we try LSU DB coach. Maybe time to replace stud and Ale. Let’s see how Day Proceeds
Not sure about Bradley. If Day goes to the NFL for someone, I'd expect it to be someone he has some experience with. Corey Raymond would be a great addition if Brian Kelly doesn't keep him on.
@@cmykrantz True
@@cmykrantz Gus Bradley comes from the Pete Carol coaching tree.. he runs what day likes to run single high safety with a mix multiple defense Las Vegas raiders defense sucked balls last year check the stats this year they’re doing wonders
@@yissaskarlg4708 If they land Elias Ricks and can get Cam Martinez in more regularly at slot corner, they can play a heavy dose of single high safety. They didn't have the horses for that scheme this season.
@@cmykrantz True Let’s see what happens fingers crossed 🤞🏾
Every time OSU loses I jump for joy no matter who they're playing,thats how much I hate OSU,go blue
yes sir and hopefully they get their arses stomped again in the rose bowl. go blue
How awesome is Matt Wilhelm... On point with the full breakdown
And start by getting rid of our lb coach
Marlon Kerner was an outstanding kick blocker. He was very fast off the edge and he had great timing. I remember the FG he blocked against Wisconsin in 1993 to preserve that tie.
Best Coach! Ryan Day!!! Best sporT❤y ! OHIO STATE!!! LOL!!!
big game too big for these young bucks- really sucks, but felt like 1995 this past weekend.
Suckeye tears are so sweet. Go Blue!
Especially to Georgia 🏈 fans : Georgia 🏈 took a natty from Ohio state 🏈 December 31 2022;; migraine headache & hangover, new year eve
the Marlon guest said the suckeyes have won "9 in a row" multiple times. it's actually 8 in a row (as sad as that is). seems he'd know that before coming on the show. interesting too that all of the suckeye media ignores our domination in 70s/80s/90s while constantly talking only the historical timeblock that suits them. go blue
Our team has no balls period. No excuse at all. Blame the coaches and players. We don’t have players like young or bosa that can make plays. People need to step up and make it happen.
“Slip away”… they never had it. They were absolutely dominated and Michigan didn’t even need to play a perfect game. Thank god Ronnie Bell wasn’t even playing, it probably would have been worse.
Nah. The first half was close and Michigan had got every bounce to go their way. The second half was when the defense just sh** the bed and the offense couldn't keep up without a run game (thanks to tackles playing guard). The OSU roster is leaps and bounds better than Michigans so next year will be different
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Had our QB exercised his typical discretion, that goal line interception would've likely led to a first half blowout. His one bad decision is the only thing that kept the suckeyes in the game.
@@DB-xp9px ok. enjoy it while it lasts. This only comes around every 11 years or so for your mediocre program. Take a look at the rosters and incoming classes if you want a sneek peak
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 yea, until we figure out how to get as many 5-star recruits as the suckeyes, we're gonna have to make up for it with hard work & determination.
@@dilldowschwagginz2674😂😂
I'll take a shot at the Natty anyday....I laughed my ass off when Matt said he's glad OSU is going to the Rose Bowl rather than getting their ass handed to them again by Bama or Georgia in the playoff....Michigan is in the playoff with a chance to win it all and any self-respecting Buckeye should wish they could be there too....when your goal is to compete for the Natty the Rose Bowl. is just a consolation prize..and Day should have used the word embarassed because that "blind squirrel" kicked his team's ass in every facet of the game....not facing reality ain't going to fix what's broke but whatever floats your boat
Prescient!
Damn, you people are soft. One loss and you need to see a psychiatrist . Michigan lost 10 in a row and got killed the last two times. This is sports. You win some and you lose some.
You have no memory my man. For 5 straight years Harbaugh was strongly criticized for those teams and he made changes that paid off.
Ryan Day saw the same game all Buckeyes saw. A team that didn't just come up short on the scoreboard, but got beat on the LOS. That indicates no heart. No heart to block. No heart to occupy the A gap and tackle. Just watching Haskins drag guys down the field time after time. Is he a Heisman candidate? Should be after this game.
It's a failed season even if you our 10 - 2 because everything was on the line . Big 10 champion 🏆 and possibly a national championship game . And will never have the offensive receivers that we had this year ever a gain
Except next year we'll have better receivers
They should hire Matt Wilhelm as LB coach
A fan posted that Ohio State is 5-22 against Wishagain in the snow,
Hurry up global warming. lol
Hope Michigan doesn't want change Thanksgiving holiday weekends Ohio state 🏈 game ; either Thanksgiving holiday weekends game or Ohio state 🏈 not on regular season schedule
Ithey thought Michigan was gonna be easy money BC when u have 3 so called 1st round draft picks u think all u gotta do is show up lol.well u showed up but u got the ass kicking of ur life and OSU deserved it.go blue
Disgusting how we played this past weekend. With that being said. This is a very young team interesting to see where we go from here. Win lose or draw I will always represent The Ohio State University. Go bucks Sliver bullets get back on 🔥🔥 offense stay on schedule. Buckeyes against the 🌍 🌎.
Marcus Freeman should be the DC.
We have had a problem with the defense since two years ago against Clemson our defense needs major repair they need to get a great defenseive cordnator
@Cassidy Johnson go away, troll.
Crikey! A very very very young team had a very very very bad day. I played only high school football, but I remember that some days things just fall the wrong way. OSU had a sick QB and a blizzard and a thousand small things adding up to a nasty loss. Nine out of ten games OSU wins. One freak day and one loss does not mean we have to burn down the stadium and all those in a 100 mile radius.
For whatever reason they couldn’t find any consistency this year. Especially with the running game. And the way they called the running game. I hate to dog on the freshman running back but if he didn’t hit at 80 yard home run he wasn’t consistently getting the little yards that we needed to make first downs
Of course the games we struggled in and lost we couldn’t get pressure on the quarterback nor provide our own protection and running attack with our offensive line
Why cant our defense just adapt to the style they are playing against. Why are you playing 2 linebackers and a safety in the box? Makes no sense. I could have coached a better game
@Cassidy Johnson lmao that's pretty funny. Most consistent and winningest program the last 50 years.
The game didn't get away...You got beat!!!! LOL...how the game got away...LOL...LOL!!!
Michigan d-backs looked good even on the plays Ohio state caught the ball. Booth teams made some big catches in that cold weather.
Is Jim Heacock available for hire?
Austin is smoking that good stuff saying our LBs and Safetys played good at the end of the year.
Dude started to cry, I love my Buckeyes just as much as Steve loves Michigan but never teared like a baby when they lose. I gotta say you lost some of my respect today Steve. Still a fan though.
2 years in a row the defense/defensive staff have cost OSU a Natty, '20 season was a wash from covid but we got the same results this year and it never once improved. The answer to the defense isn't on staff, he better go get a DC and change things around real fast, lose to scUM 2 years in a row and you will lose the fanbase. We're OSU for f*cks sake, we should be able to hand pick 95% of the DC's in America, NFL or NCAA. This is a premier spot, top 3 program.
Why no Tyleke Williams?
clearly, marlon was disappointed after the next game.
Looking at the results of the five B10 common opponents between the Buckeyes and TTUN (Rutgers, Nebraska, PSU, Indiana, MSU), the Buckeyes won more convincingly in every case (emphatically so for MSU). TTUN had to come from behind late in the games against Nebraska and PSU, and they lost to MSU. Given those outcomes, I am dumbfounded by what happened in Ann Arbor. Even if there were some defensive and offensive scheme issues by the Buckeyes, that doesn't explain the total domination. It looked like the Buckeyes were shell-shocked while the TTUN simply wanted it far more. Was the perfect storm.
Precisely! This game was won by the team that wanted it more and was more determined to win. So, it looks like team preparedness and motivation. It is not a recruiting or personnel issue. We have the personnel. Our players are higher ranked across the board. It reminds me of our win over Miami in the 2002 National Championship. They were the more talented team, but OSU WANTED it more and played our game. Voila! Go Bicks!
Previous games and common opponents don't matter. It's about who performs on the field during The Game. Analytics doesn't win games, players and coaches do.
Michigan played Nebraska and PSU on the road; y'all got em at home. Same reason why comparing Maryland and PSU this past year was silly
*uck that silver bullet shit it never worked, to stop the run play a 4-4-3 defense load the box, they weren't a deep pass threat their tight ends did the most damage, we knew this going into the game. But nobody changed the scheme, we need a great DC because Ryan Day is an offensive minded head coach, somebody like Monte Kiffin, was for Tampa Bay back in the day.
this lose really hurts 💔 what bowl game you think we will get
is easy to be a ohio state fan when there winning but when you guys lose the sky is burning and people are pointing fingers.....be a real fan and stick behind your team threw the ups and downs ohio isint lways gona win every year every game thats the reality of it y dont ppl go back and look at the books and stop bein damn babies ohio hasnt always been some juggernaut againts michigan thats the hard facts
There's some delusional thinking. Sorry Matt but Michigan is n was the better team. To say this like finding a nut is more disrespect which is exactly why you lost. Everyone slept on michigan but consider this, OSU ran to run 20 more offensive plays and won the turnover battle n still lost by 15.
Michigan is the better team? That's funny. They played a better game than ohio state but not a better team
@@michaelholley1361 No one outside of Ohio believes you. Ohio had the higher ranked recruits but Michigan clearly had the better team and it’s not even close. A total beat down.
@David Force they were the better team that day I'll give you that. Not a better team. Just enjoy your one good year in the last 20.

#FireTimMay
Let’s get back to big ten football … Air raid is pretty until November comes
That's the thing: The last two Clemson games we were definitely very physical with much of the same personnel. The physicality is there, the need to figure out why they couldn't find it in themselves last Saturday or this entire season. Peach Bowl vs. Alabama if they get murdered b by Georgia? Or will they get the Sugar-tie in?
Rose bowl vs Utah
Alabama will automatically get the tie-in Sugar Bowl berth.
@@858415 Utah will punk the Buckeyes, and steal their lunch money.
@@lvbuckeye yeah, not a good match up for Ohio State
Losing Olave and Wilson is a blow, no question. The silver lining though is you get some young guys who are supremely talented back. The OL loses guys but I have never been sold on the idea that Studwara is the best OL coach OSU can have. The defensive staff needs to be looked at and changes were likely to happen had we won. The way we lost makes it clear that there needs to be a deep and complete review and changes need to be installed.
CHOOOOOOOOKE!!!!!! LMFA❌!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We had no O line or D line show up for this game 😤 and the problem was still there like in week 2 against Oregon Ryyn Day you need new coaches go get offinceive cordnator and defenseive cordnator from the NFL AND MONEY SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM TO GO AND GET THEM
I love Washington but he has to go. When Mattison left TTUN there LBs where awful under Washington. When Mattison retired from OSU the LBs where lost, confused filling wrong gaps double filling gaps ect thats on Washington......
LeCharles Bentley for offensive line coach
Tim May is hilarious
I know I’m late but do you think if the weather was better Ohio state offense could’ve save the day
It don't get cold in Ohio??
@@certifiedstoner816 lmao....I think that "Blind Squirrel" busted nuts all day...bottom line was ttun was better in all facets of the game...the weather can't be used as an excuse
😭😭
The problem on defense for the Buckeyes is certainly not a 1 yr fix. The same issues against Michigan may very well show themselves in next years game. This could get out of hand for Day!
Matt, Alabama looked like total butt vs auburn. Let's not glorify their pathetic performance against a barely bowl eligible team. That old school defense worked at times but look what Urban's Florida did to it in the title game... That was far more embarrassing than what happened last Saturday. Let's keep it real
What did they look like against Georgia?
As a Michigan fan I must say my respect for Buckeye fans and analysts (at least those on TH-cam) has increased greatly after this game. They've almost all taken it in stride, given U of M credit and look to the future to win next year. Obviously I'd love to see a return to the John Cooper era of this rivalry where Michigan was dominant, but I think a new 10 Year War environment would be awesome for this rivalry where the games are pretty much split evenly. It would be great for both schools I think and for the Big Ten as a whole. I do hate OSU but at least they're in the Big Ten; that's sort of why I've always hated Notre Dame (those arrogant pricks) more. Anyway, watch out for Utah, I watched the two games of theirs against Oregon and they look legit and they're peaking. Dear god, did I just in a round about way express that I want OSU to win the Rose Bowl?! I think I did. And I will admit I was actually rooting (and kind of getting into it during the game) for OSU vs Miami in the title game in the 2002/2003 season and when they beat Arizona St in the Rose Bowl after the '96 season. As I say to my dad, "The Buckeyes maybe bastards (sorry) but they're Big Ten bastards, not arrogant independent shamrock bastards."
As a Michigan fan, I wish we had a Colonel Sanders to do a podcast for us.
Michigan 🏈 fans ❤️ fry buckeyes
This is a very bad performance by ohio state . No holes for running backs to run. Defence poor tackling no getting off blocks it's just horrible. This always happens when ever 🙄 we get a number 1 or 2 ranking they just can not when with that pressure
A HEALTHY offensive line should have been Miller at center, Munford at LT, Paris at RG, Matt Jones at LG and NPF at right tackle. Munford is not a guard, and D. Jones was not a right tackle. Too soft and slow ... Wypler filled in at center pretty solid, esp. for a redshirt freshman. Donovan Jackson will be a starter next year, and NPF just lost his opportunity to get drafted in the first three rounds, minimum, based on last Saturday. He will be back in '22. The video showing Munford literally getting road-graded by "Aids" Hutchinson was startling. For a redshirt freshman, Stroud was incredible under those circumstances. D-linemen have to get much bigger, 300-plus pounds in the middle, and OSU needs some man-child, physical, fast, beasts at LB. They are out there...
So Kelly goes to LSU, does Freeman go with him? Or. Is he available?
move on from it .... a loss is a loss, fix it or re live it. Spring will work on the run game with Henderson, acclimate the new WR crew start JTT and Sawyer on the ends, CJ Hicks and Gabe Powers coming in. this will be a more complete team next year
Tim may is from Alabama! Of course it doesn't bother him when ohio state loses to michigan
Nice flat bill Matt...pssht
We did not win LOS on both sides of the ball. That says it all. The name of "Jon Heacock" was mentioned. He is the brother of Jim, who was D.C. at OSU for so long under Tressel. He is over 60, which may be an issue. Anyway, we need brilliant minds now on the defensive staff plus beasts for players. BTW: I like Matt's comment about the blind squirrel getting a nut sometimes. Some coaches win one rivalry game and they think they have channeled Woody Hayes!
I believe we need our old defense ways tough mostly a 4-3 defense unless it's a passing team then maybe a 3-4 but either way our defense use to be our thing Our strength and I'd like to see that more Ohio State old ways playing defense the silver bullets as they would say let's show Xichigan next year who we truly are build our defense to win games just with our defense let alone our powerful offense they are young and I can't wait to see what they do next year I can't wait OH
How come Ryan Day and Co. recruit excellent QBs and Wide Receivers but for 3 years now could not recruit excellent Defensive Backs, Safeties, Linebackers, Edge Rushers, and reliable OLs?!!! Why can't they coach up their current Offensive and Defensive players?! If they lack talent on Defense, why can't they use the Transfer Portal to get some badly needed Defensive players?!
Let's been honest has ohio state fans. Urban lost games he should have won but he brought the boom the kids were tuff you could hear the pads Crack thru the TV. I like Ryan alot and I don't dought him as a coach but the past 2 years without any defensive super stars we lost that tuff Ness. He need changes through the off season with coaching and maybe even changes personal and scheme
I didnt hear much pad cracking vs purdue which cost us a natty and against Iowa which coat us a natty
@@michaelholley1361 welp we won a natty in 2014 beat Michigan 7 years in a won the 3 big ten titles went 83 and 9 with only maybe 5 games with bad defense counting your Purdue and Iowa 🎮 This past 2 years defenses have been the weakest defenses in years at OSU. Michigan coach's called us soft not tuff really?.
@@michaelholley1361 you must not watch Ohiostate much
Now that is funny. OSU controlled the game. What world does Bill Nye the clueless guy live in. Remember OSU, when driving in bad weather, Hands should be at your record, 10 - 2.
Michigan plays a 3-4 so they have 3 defensive tackles (DT), whereas we play a 4-3 or a 4-2 with only 2 DTs. So in our scheme the DTs have to be better players (having only 2 guys instead of 3). It's also easier for Michigan to stop the run up front and bring pressure since they use a 5 man front, whereas we try to do the same with only 4.
That's not exactly how that works. A 3-4 and a 4-3 puts the same amount of defenders in the box when in their base sets. Both defenses have the same amount of guys in the box. Go back and look at Michigans alignment compared to OSU's... They're essentially the same thing
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 same numbers yes. But in a 3-4 that "7th man" is a DT, whereas in a 4-3 it's a LB (or in Ohio State's case it's a S in Ronnie Hickman). It's obvious that a 3-4 is better equipped to get in the gaps, disrupt the offensive blocking and attack the opposing teams center, because there's 5 men on the line as opposed to 4. Also, in a 4-3, you allow teams to combo block your DTs, if that's what they want to do, hoping the LBs shoot the gaps and make plays. There's no guaranteed one-on-one matchup. Unfortunately, for Ohio State the LB play right now is not good enough, it's not physical and it's not fast and they don't blitz enough.
OHIO STATE NEEDS TO GET MATT TO COACH LINEBACKERS AND RECRUIT SAME. HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT TAKES AND HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT A HIGH LEVEL IN COLLGE AND PRO BALL. AND HE IS A CHAMPION. ALSO PLAYED AND WON THE MICHIGAN GAMES. HOPEFULLY HE WILL BE ASKED AND ACCEPT. HE BLEEDS SCARLET AND GRAY. GO GET HIM.
We'll get them next year.....1 time in 10+ years. I will Take the odds. 🎼🎶🎶 We will win the game 🎶 or know the reason why..🎶🎶
so what is the reason?
😂😂
Ryan Day and his crew lost 3 critical games during the past 12 months; first humiliated by Alabama in the National Championship game in January, then unexpectedly lost to an undermanned Oregon at home in September, and now lost to Michigan on the road. That is 3 MAJOR losses in 12 months. That is in effect twice losing a chance to win a National Championship, losing a chance to win a 5th Conference Championship, and perhaps robbing his QB CJ Stroud of a chance to win a Heisman trophy.
I am saying, poor coaching has been the major problem for the Buckeyes team this season, since the bad loss to Alabama in the National Championship game
Marcus Freeman may become available. Kick the tires and see.
Hope so but highly unlikely. He’s either going to LSU with Kelly, HC at Duke, HC at ND, or replaces Fickell at Cinci if Fickell goes to ND. Freeman just isn’t in the cards.
@@Connor-8 Damn 😢😢😢. I didn't want to hear that.
We just have to admit bottom line we screwed the pooch! TUN had a better game plan and were laying in wait for us. We can only pray that this is an upset weekend coming with the main one being Iowa beating TUN. Wishful thinking but maybe the committee would consider one or two of the 2 loss teams in the playoffs.
Why do you want to see the Buckeyes in the playoff? They DO NOT DESERVE IT.
@@lvbuckeye I don't hold mean feelings about one confrence loss even if it was TUN, but I think they can beat any teams they would face in there.
