One more bizarre stat. SCum did not complete a single pass in the 4th quarter. 11 rushes for 174 yards & 3 rushing TDs * - Barrett777 [16:19:16 11/30/22] (6)
- Should also add their 3 4th quarter TD's to OSU's 0 made it 9 Scum rush TD's over last two games to only 1 from OSU* - Barrett777 [16:41:49 11/30/22] (0)

  - I think there was only one run play called after OSU gave up the lead Q3. 1st&35 obviously affected calls - drdoublee [14:57:18 11/30/22] (3)
    - Michigan eating up an entire quarter on offense while building a double digit lead did that. * - Centauri2 [14:59:38 11/30/22] (2)
      - You still need to mix in the run. OSU abandoned the run completely. CJ being a non threat to run when he drops back (m) - Barrett777 [15:54:16 11/30/22] (1)
        
        OSU ran fine on Saturday, at 5 YPC. The clock is what stopped the run. - Centauri2 [16:36:58 11/30/22] (0)
  - Many have said OSU was in it until late. Why then was running not viable? * - Barrett777 [14:50:00 11/30/22] (10)
    - First 2 drives in the 2nd half were 4 pass 5 run. 3rd drive was 4th quarter down by 11 when passing became necessary. * - Centauri2 [14:57:59 11/30/22] (7)
      - Yeah the run narrative is dumb. OSU blew the opening drives of the 2nd half of the last 2 game by hammering - Hanawi [15:03:46 11/30/22] (5)
        
        So you are admitting that SCum had the superior run game? (m) - Barrett777 [15:45:20 11/30/22] (1)
        
        Perhaps my favorite post from Saturday was someone saying we should run it more. We literally ran it three plays in a - JK's Jump Cut [15:08:40 11/30/22] (2)
        
        SCum had several series where the run did not work. Yet they stayed committed to it (m) - Barrett777 [15:47:26 11/30/22] (1)
        
        Much easier to run the ball with the lead. Even you will admit to that. * - Centauri2 [16:37:47 11/30/22] (0)

Within this thoroughgoing zeitgeist of angst, I’d offer that Day deserves credit both for calling the fake punt and - Mr.C [14:26:50 11/30/22] (49)

        Urban's methods, while successful, have not proven to be sustainable. Saban's have.* - drdoublee [15:05:38 11/30/22] (4)
        
        Urban had a long career. Had great success at several stops. Saban's career was only great at Bama (m) - Barrett777 [15:49:49 11/30/22] (3)
        
        Can’t discount LSU’s first NC in nearly 50 years. * - Nashville [17:40:54 11/30/22] (0)
        
        It was reproducible, but not sustainable. Stops at UF, OSU, and Jags ended with drama, scandal and/or health issues - drdoublee [16:11:50 11/30/22] (0)
        
        Well, and briefly at LSU * - Mr.C [16:01:00 11/30/22] (0)
        
        Why is it more impressive to beat a mediocre Michigan team, but lose by 30 to a crappy team? - DaytonBuck [14:56:23 11/30/22] (1)
        
        SCum game is WAY more important than any other game on the regular season schedule* - Barrett777 [15:48:30 11/30/22] (0)
        
        I'm not comparing the two, I just saying that all three of Urban's NCs followed the same pattern. - Mr.C [14:55:50 11/30/22] (0)
    - Hell to pay when Urban's team lost. There was a reason that players did not "like" to play for him (m) - Barrett777 [14:41:06 11/30/22] (3)
      - I disagree. After that Purd fiasco I expected some players who totally gave up late to be on bench (M) - QueensBuck [14:57:11 11/30/22] (1)
        
        Agree it was a train wreck. Urban was a dead man walking after the Prez/BoT neutered him (m) - Barrett777 [15:41:51 11/30/22] (0)
    - He was pretty nice to Iowa and Purdue as well. Should have been meaner to them. * - DaytonBuck [14:39:54 11/30/22] (11)

        Do you believe Urban called 73 pass plays versus Purdue in 2018? * - Barrett777 [14:50:35 11/30/22] (8)
        
        Do you believe he was powerless to stop it? If day has to own Knowles, Urban has to own Day. * - OSUgradinGA [14:54:05 11/30/22] (1)
        
        Do you forget Urban missed final Fall practice and the first 3 games? (m) - Barrett777 [15:11:13 11/30/22] (0)
        
        We were rushing for 3 yards a clip in that game, we weren't winning that way. * - DaytonBuck [14:54:03 11/30/22] (1)
        
        Because of Day going in with RPO's for most plays. Huge change* - Barrett777 [15:06:28 11/30/22] (0)
        
        Do you think he was already retired by that point? Even if Day was calling the plays - Mr.C [14:53:51 11/30/22] (3)
        
        Urban sat out the first number of games. Of course he could have said to stop it (m) - Barrett777 [15:05:48 11/30/22] (2)

        You seem to think Meyer got suspended during fall camp and Day rearranged the whole program to his liking. - Mr.C [15:57:54 11/30/22] (0)
