Chris, LA was the leading tackler tonight.

Just sayin.’

IMO, there’s only so much your defense can do when the offense turns the ball over three times & your special teams have another atrocious performance.

As for play calling, my major question is where were the TE plays that we saw all year? Not once did I see a TE drop into a passing route. For something that was so important during the season… it was weird to see it disappear. I’m not speculating, but combining the lack of TE play with Schoenhoft’s move to TE last month, and you wonder if something happened injury-wise to Ballard and/or Nichol.

That’s enough analysis for me (for now). We’ll have more later.

BTW, feel free to move your discussion over to the post-game comments section.

Laurinaitis got dominated again. Wow. Unfortunately, all those people can say what they want and I have nothing to say back. SEC is better…you’re right. SEC speed….you’re right. SEC power….you’re right. Miles is better than Tressel…you’re right. Ohio State doesn’t belong….you’re right. Thank you sir may I have another. F”k it.

I won’t bail on this team after forty years but this is really frustrating. I won’t go over the litany of errors on the field and off but I hope someone will hold this coaching staff accountable and make JT clearly explain to the OSU fans who support the team and pay their salaries, what the hell happened tonight. Talk about unimaginative play calling. And by the way, thank you Mr. Henton for effectively making yourself unavaible to help YOUR team this year when they needed you. While I’m on the soapbox, please Mr. Tressel, try to be altruistic in some other way and schedule quality opponents to prepare your team for a run at the NC the next time. LSU was beatable. Can you imagine the mindset of the next OSU team that has to face an SEC opponent in the next bowl game? What motivation tactic will JT use? JT, they were beatable.

All the defensive underclassmen have to come back next year. The defense is playing absolutely atrociously. Laurinaitis is getting schooled right now.

Frustrating! Our O-Coordinator or Tressel buckles when we are down, with how LSU is blitzing and getting in there we need to run draws, delays or anything that starts with Run. If we don’t get pressure on LSU’s QB, we’re screwed, Come-on Bucks!
