Been watching OSU football closely for 40 years. Not sure I can recall a time it was up 14 and then trailed by 17 in the same game. May want to try something different in all phases.
Call me crazy, but why is this an issue? So fans can tailgate and party? TV dictates the sports schedules. B1G is aligned with Fox and its main window is noon. OSU is a huge brand. Fox & B1G doesn’t care about the fans
Another Ohio State Noon game incoming. No night games all season in 2026.
Ohio State fans deserve more than this. So I wrote about the Big Ten and FOX, their give-a-shit level for the fans being low and more.

I’m not lunatic fringe. But this has been no coaching masterpiece by the OSU staff.
Shotgun on the foot line
No sense of urgency down 3 scores
Penalties
Going for 2 down 9
Don’t like the 2-point try there. Kick it and make it a one possession game.
Now it’s still a 2 possession game and you have to rely on an onside kick.
Taking their time like there is no scoreboard in the stadium was coaching malpractice
Settling for 3 falls directly on Ryan Day and Arthur Smith. The first down play to go from shotgun was ridiculous after Fahey had just sneaked for basically 3 yards. The false start certainly compounded matters.
It’s a new season, but somethings don’t change.
Lose a game and the “lunatic fringe” is out wanting to fire everyone.
Just a lazy and ridiculous reaction.
Texas fourth and 8 conversion when it was 23-3 ultimately swung the momentum and it never swung back.
OSU was out of gas on defense cause the offense lost its rhythm
And, oh by the way, another missed FG costs OSU. Seen that before.
