Can’t Let Today’s L Be Our Best W of the Season
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
What today showed is that Rhule hasn’t lost the team. I fully expected a 60 point beatdown in Columbus.
I don’t care about a moral victory, but I’m glad the season isn’t lost yet. Win next week and they’ll be back on track to reach some of the season benchmarks we all expected to see in year 2 of this rebuild.

I can see fans pointing to this L as some undeniable proof of progress even if we lose out
Has happened before
Can’t have that happen this year
I’m good with developing the run game. But runs on second down when we are behind schedule are NOT what we need from our idiot OC.
Bubble screens and zero routes need to be removed from his electronic playbook.
Next week will be the real test. UCLA seems to have gotten a bit of mojo and they have a bye to prepare for us.
Could have won that game but still lost. Not impressed, Frost did this dozens of times. Great performance from the defense, offense still scares nobody.
I wish I could agree but he missed 2 open WRs for TDs in the 2nd half, my fren.
Think about how beaten down you are to expect that? I don't blame you but Ohio State isn't 95 Nebraska. Defense stepped up bc they are well coached imo. Offense still can't get 300 yards.
Holy crap. UCLA beat Hawaii and Rutgers. What freaking mojo are you talking about?
I don't see him improving as a run game coordinator.. he doesn't like to do it, and when he does, it's awkward and easy to guess. Are fans and the HC going to hold his feet to the fire every week on the run game thing? I don't see that happening either. Since his family moved out, here's hoping he's finished after the season.
DR did show some fire today and emotion, that was nice to see.
I'm just here to say, I'm ok if we lose out. We just lost to OSU by 4 so that is progress enough for me.
See how stupid it sounds? Literally no one is or will be saying this.

He rose to the occasion
Missed 2 big throws but I can live with it as a true frosh
Head down and grind to be sure it doesn’t happen again
You really think our limp dick offense can overlook anyone?
Most fans - likely you and @Walleye79 included - said exactly this after going 3-9 in 2021
You’re right, it is very stupid

He needs to keep taking those 5-10 yard scrambles. It is vital to keeping the Ds LBs honest. Will open up a lot of other things for the O.
Hells no. The only thing this proves is that you are talented enough to compete with anyone. The expectation now should be 4-0 from here on out because the rest of the schedule is made up of teams not as good as this one.
Agree. If the team’s showing in Columbus is a springboard to some wins down the stretch, that will be fantastic. But if not, it’s not a consolation prize.
No, but you didn’t say anything about our offense. You claimed UCLA was on some sort of uptick.
Both balls left his hand before the WRs got separation. No doubt he would like those back. I'm not sure if he had pressure coming or not that made him turn loose as soon as he did.
Better yet, remove the playbook from his hands and give it to someone else like Thomas. It’s obvious to everyone Sat isn’t it.
The 2 dingdongs who wanted Deion to be our coach approved of this post 👀
As of right now, for me, if NU doesn't win out, it will be bad. The teams left on the schedule blow.
All bets were on us losing to both Indiana and OSU and being 5-3. The fact one was close and the other was a blowout was also very likely...they were just flipped. Hopefully we can now focus on our superbowl and get that bowl.
After what I saw today, I feel like we should beat UCLA plus a split between Iowa/Wisc. If we do at least that, I feel like we are reasonably still on track. Anything better is just gravy.
I said 7-8 wins was a logical record before the season. After watching the first 7 games I lowered my expectations to 5-6. The performance today makes me feel a little better about our chances to get to 7. We should and better beat UCLA. Wisconsin and USC should be toss ups.
UCLA is the team we need to beat. We have them at home, and they are not a very good team. But still, you have to go out and actually beat them and not yourselves. Do that, and the bowl monkey is off the back.
Then, go get what you can in the last 3 games.

If they beat UCLA and secure bowl eligibility, as they are favored to do, then there’s 3 games left to play loose with house money. And none of them are juggernauts. Win any one and the season feels like progress. Maybe it does anyway if you beat UCLA.
Yep. Was at the game and our D-Line was back to dominating. What you might not have seen on TV was their O-Line got to the point where they were just tackling our guys and nothing being called. Was ridiculous.
