Tressel is universally regarded as a good coach. Ever think that maybe he made the right calls and the team just failed to execute? Because that's sure what it looked like to me.
Dude, have some common sense. ANd I mean that in the nicest way possible so please don't get upset. You have the lead by more than a touchdown. All you need to do is keep them out of the endzone. You should ALWAYS have 2 guys on the goal line protecting that shit. It's common sense. You don't blitz when you ahve the lead and there is only 20 seconds in a game left.
How can the players fail to execute on an all out blitz? They never had a chance. Colt was gonna get the ball out before he even was done taking his 3 steps backwards. Just about every sack or hit on colt in the backfield was result of good coverage in the game , not from blitzing 8 in the box. But that's besides the point, making a defensive call like that is assinine. There was no reason to have man coverage on a spread wide receiver formation. There's a reason they were one of the best offensive passing teams all year and there was a reason they were the best team in CFB that executed the big plays. It's because their wideouts and QB are fuckign sick. You have to protect the goal line there. Any coach with a fucking idea of how football works shouldn't expect their defensive backs to cover man to man on a long drive like that where the defense is tired. I can talk to any person with an idea of how football works and they will agree with me.
Listen Tressel is a fine coach, but they will never beat a team that has talent on offense and knows how to use it with the stupid defensive play calling and the conservative play calling. Cause teams in college football that are high powered offenses will get their points, I can guarantee you that. A 6-3 halftime lead ain't shit against a Texas/OU/Florida/Georgia/USC/Penn St.....
He's got to learn how to use the offensive ttalent in a more effective way. That's just not me who thinks this....it's everyone that follows College Football.

Running down the middle on a 2nd and long is not a good call.
Grimes I'm not sure if you're referring to what I posted?
I said on the final OSU drive it was 2nd and short with about 2:25 left. If they just get the first down and dive on the ground they can run the clock out and waste texas' two timeouts and then kick the field goal. Seriously...all they had to do was get the first and just take 3 knees. Would have brought the clock to atleast 1:15. WOuld have rested the defense to make a stand.
But I"m not too upset about that becaues not many coaches or players think like that. Although like I said earlier, Westbrook in the NFL was smart enough to do something similar.
And I think Tressel is fine coach but he doesn't use the talent as well as he should.
If I were a wide receiver, I would stay the fuck away from the Buckeyes. I feel sorry for Cris carters son. Our leading wide receiver this year had like 25 receptions. Chris Wells didn't even carry the ball that often throughout the the year due to injuries.....
That just leaves me with one question....WHAT THE FUCK WERE WE DOING ON OFFENSE? It's sad man, they look like fucking retards on offense. It's just watch Pryor avoid two tackles and run down the field. That shit isn't gonna win any game worth a damn in the long run.
Looked like shit against USC (Spare me the Pryor was out comments or even Wells, you still shouldn't look that shitty.
Looked like shit against Penn St. Looked like shit against Texas. Their offense is absolute shit and Tressel needs to hire a coach to help him and his fucking ego.
