I'm a Buckeye too, and i agree. The coach for calling the play, and the O line for failing to protect their QB. Ewers did what he could with what he had.
Yall just don't understand Sark watches film and we're just fans the series of events at the goal-line is what Ohio st has done to everyone even the teams that beat Ohio St 😂 without refs help Texas would've been boat raced💯
@joeressa - As a 60-plus year Ohio State fan (I'm from Columbus, OH), let me respond by saying that even though my beloved Buckeyes won by two TDs, I wouldn't say they "crushed" Texas! They were in this game all the way until the last few minutes of the 4th quarter, thanks in part to uncommon sloppy play and dumb penalties by Ohio State! That 75-yard TD screen pass to Henderson just before the half and that 82-yard scoop and score by Sawyer in the closing minutes of the game were the ultimate difference! Both teams played well, made some highlight-film plays during the game and it was a dog fight! Atrocious play calling by Texas on the goal line in that last few minutes did them in!
@tonyginnetti5828 only because Ohio state isn't disciplined the fouls kept an overrated Texas team in the game. If they play Notre Dame like that it's over for the buckeyes also the Texas d held them to only 80 rushing yards that doesn't look good at all looking ahead to playing Notre Dame if they don't step up. It will be even more 1 dimensional. That Notre Dama d line is something else
Nobody crushed anybody. Texas was 1 yard away from either sending the game to overtime, or maybe even getting a stop and having a shot at a field goal to win it. The coaches had a collective brain cramp with the play selection. Notre Dame will put an end to the Ohio State nonsense.
So, I know Texas believes itself to be the center of the football world but let me tell you that here in Ohio we've been doing football a lot longer than you guys in Texas. We helped develop the game
@IsaiahRangel-zr3ly He's speaking historically. Ohio and the rust belt region had some of the most impactful innovations to the game of football that still exist to this day.
I don’t mean any disrespect by my comment so please don’t take it that way. I’m not an unrealistic Buckeye fan but a true bleeder of the Scarlet and Gray. I watched 2 great teams battle it out last night and thankfully we pulled it out. I’m glad that it wasn’t a blowout either way. I truly think this is our year! Congrats to Texas for an amazing season.
yeah i suppose he did. I would put the blame on the right tackle but I’m a buckeye so I’ll take it either way. Texas best shot was right between the tackles I believe and pretty amazed that wasn’t what happened.
I'm missing the part where Ewers did this. The right tackle missed on his block and it was fourth down. There wasn't going to be a fifth. Throwing the ball away to avoid the sack wasn't an option.
@@cjmike1024 exactly! And even if they did not make it on 4 tries, Ohio State would have had to start on their own 1-yard line. Texas still had 2 timeouts with over 2 minutes to play. They could have gotten the ball back with some time on the clock. Hope Sark does not plan on going to the NFL with that kind of mindset! HORRIBLE!!!
I know Quinn Ewers is going to get the blame. But wrongly so. The truth of the matter is that offensive line got their manhood ripped from them by the Georgia defensive line not once but twice. They had never been the same. At the offensive genius that is Steve Sarkisian, his offense has been very offensive at times! That's about all...
Mannnn.....as a Buckeye fan, I can tell you I felt just like you on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, brother. Will looked bad, our offense was anemic, the playcalling was atrocious... I know them feels. Not gonna tell you not to feel them. I am gonna say that y'all showed up, and this game was so much closer than the final score made it out to be. I think UT has a lot to be proud of, and something tells me you will be right back here next season. 👊
So Much On Texas On At First Winning The SEC ( They Choked Doing That ) And Now Getting Punked Out By Ohio State , So Longhorn Nation Y'all Just Go Ahead And Sing That Beloved Texas Song " There's A Tear In My Beer " That's A Song Cowboys & Longhorn Are Used To Singing 😢😢😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Listen, as a Buckeye fan who has been here where you are now, put most of the blame on the right tackle who let Sawyer come right around him to get to Ewers. Gotta give him time there. Or blame the play call. Why not bring Arch in the game again to run the ball?
Bro how are you blaming Ewers? Sawyer wasn't even blocked. Heck the Texas oline wasn't very good the entire game. The LT projected top 10 NFL pick was getting destroyed by JTT until he got hurt.
I'm a buckeye fan. You can't Blane Quinn on that one. Your right tackle doesn't even get two hands on Jack Sawyer. Quinn had no chance. He was getting saced either way
I’m not a Texas Fan. OSU all the way! But if I was a Texas fan….the Texas HeadCoach needs to be fired. I’m sorry. That’s just inexcusable. Why would you do a shotgun toss pass wide left when you know the defense will get there anyway??? Doesn’t matter. Go Bucks!!! Natty all the way!
He didn't step into the pocket ge stepped out and he never wins a big game. It's always been ewers his red zone efficiency is terrible the last few years with amazing talent around him and he can't get it done. Dude sucks.
@@michaeljohnson-bq8muThe right tackle let one of the best edge rushers in the nation go unblocked. It was fourth down, so the throw had to go in the end zone. There’s really nothing Ewers could do there.

@@ScottCleve33Trey Owens tush push under center 4 plays would have got Texas TD. Sark needs to fire his idiotic OC and hire a real OC. Trey Owens is 6'5" 220lbs and can handle a tush push 4 consecutive plays and pick up 2 yards on 1st and goal from 1 yard line without risking injury to Manning.
Never ever run a toss at the one you can hand off outside but you just loss too much speed and give a packed tight defense more time to get through and that’s exactly what happened
Now Texas fans know how Buckeye fans felt awhile back when Mike Nugent missed his only field goal of the season in the waning seconds against Texas that would have won the game. Hats off to Texas though-they are a stout outfit.
that 1st down at the 1 playaction pass TE over the middle or RPO pass to TE coming across maybe? or trips to the far side pull defenders away and then statue of liberty? the problem is if your at the 1, expectation is - so close just punch it in up the middle, but OSU goal line stand like a brickwall ... I would start with a fake dive and come back to it if nothing else worked...
The tried running it between the tackles on 1st and goal. Back didn't even make it to the line of scrimmage. Then a sweep that had worked further back for 7yd loss. Then Sawyer was in Ewers face on 3rd. Finally, the coup de gras. Horns got hooked. A good team, just not as good as T-OSU.
Crazy how y'all blame Quinn when he drove y'all down the field from the 1 yard line. Texas head coach had terrible play calls and the right tackle gave up a game ending sack. Had y'all scored nobody would say anything.
That was not Ewer's fault, he didn't even get to see Sawyer. He got blindsided because #56 was not paying attention to his man pre-snap and when he finally moved to Sawyer, he was already off balanced and unable to grab Sawyer. If you are going to blame someone, blame the coach on the previous call or #56 for been worried about everyone on the field except the man he had to block.
Blame the line that didn’t stop Sawyers’s on Ewers blind side and the coaches for bad play calling on the one trying to get outside on a defense that fast should have went straight up the middle
Rewatch the play, surely wasn’t Quinn’s fault if you know what you’re talking about!. The right tackle had problems all night keeping Jack out of the backfield.
People blaming Ewers are dumb. Offensive lineman didn't barely even touch the pass rusher.

Exactly. As a Texas fan it’s not Ewers fault.

As an avid OSU fan, Ewers didn't lose the game, the coach did.
I'm a Buckeye too, and i agree. The coach for calling the play, and the O line for failing to protect their QB. Ewers did what he could with what he had.
Yeah, not a good call there
that pitch to the running back that lost 7 yards was a dumb call. Don't worry Day has done it in the past also.
