I agree man. I don't understand how we can't make in-game adjustments. Pete Carrol is known for making crucial adjustments and it shows with his teams winning.

Can anyone find a video of the interviews from after the game... including Coach Tressel, and some of the players?

I don't even know. I mean, others have outlined that we need to play Pryor and get rid of Boeckman starting NOW not next year. But is anyone else disillusioned with Tressel? What is with this guy and being so stubborn and loyal to his seniors? Screw Boeckman, guy is a stiff and we never had a chance to win a title this year or last year with him at QB. Unbelievable. Pryor is the only one making stuff happen yesterday yet he keeps taking him out to "mix it up!" with Todd freakin' Boeckman.

The playcalling was sickening and I saw no guts out there with constant punts on 4th down even when the game was out of hand. I am so disgusted.

It's hard to pick up the pieces after this one but I can't say that am shocked by this loss. Even the blow out loss does not come as too big of a surprise.

It seems clear that the 2004 and 2005 recruiting classes are just not going to come through in big games. There doesn't seem to be that desire in the upperclassmen.

Truth be told, I am somewhat relieved to be out of the National Championship picture. This team is not nearly as good as many thought it would be. At lease we don't have to wait until January to get de-pantsed by the SEC champion.

We should root for USC to win out the year and go to Miami and play the SEC champion. Ohio State can win the Big Ten and go on to play the second place Pac-10 team or an atlarge team (hopefully not from the SEC) in the Rose Bowl.

At large BCS teams team that we can realistically beat: Arizona State, Oregon, Kansas, BYU, ECU, Auburn (maybe), Texas, Texas Tech, West Virginia.

I completely agree, I don't think I can stand to see the Buckeyes get smashed on such a scale again. It seemed we could compete early on, then we just couldn't catch up. It'll take a combination of changing coaches and consistent big time recruiting to put us back in national title consideration.

However this shakes out, I hope this team regains some dignity soon. We have to go to Madison and play the badgers in 3 weeks. Also, Penn State is looking better and better every week. The Nittanies may be a real contender by the time we face them on Oct. 25.

I really am glad to be fading out of the national spotlight for the next few weeks. The sooner the nation forgets about what Ohio State did in the openning month of the season, the better we are.
