Osu defense is awful, I thought the 4th and 3rd play in first half where the entire D line bailed like it was a long sss play summed up the game, neither the coaches nor players have any idea what the he’ll is going on.

Easily the worst OSU defense since Meyers first season , which it might be close but this one is worse.

Offensively it’s prob hard to knit pick 40 plus points, but I feel like so many downs are wasted running a guy straight forward for a guaranteed loss, add in penalties and assenine turnovers and this truly was a miracle win.

Maybe I’m asking too much after a great decade of football, but I just see so much undisciplined football.
I guess either way it’s been a helluva run, but it comes to an end next sat.

I guess 10-2 with all these issues isn’t too shabby.

I really was shocked at how long it took (half time) for the defensive coaching staff to adjust to what Maryland was doing. They kept doing it and running the same play, or a similar play, by moving OSU players into exact desired positions with their shifts.
They actually figured it out in the second half, but I thought it was incredibly interesting  that the announcers even mentioned at the start of the second half, when they interviewed Matt Canada he even wondered what adjustments OSU would make to respond to their shift to run at the boundary because they made no adjustments to it at all in the first half.
It killed a darn good offfensive performance ( outside of the three turnovers). 688 yards, including about 280 rushing, and over 400 passing and darn near 40 first downs.
They also ran Haskins intentionally at least 8 or 9 times, plus he scrambled 5 or 6 times and ended up with 60 yards rushing, and he ran physically.
Later this week When Eleven Warrriors  shows film of the shift Maryland was doing
offensively in the first half, it will make you even more disappointed, because OSU coaching staff NEVER made the simple adjustment required, until halftime.

Apparently Maryland QB Kasim Hill has a torn ACL and is done.  Not sure how that affects their offense, but I am worried about OSU's defense in this game.  Seems destined to give up like 4 long touchdowns.

Four?
Something obviously is amiss with that defense.  And Urban may be having health issues.

I want to read the eleven warriors take on the last play.
I think the wide open receiver was running a rub route to the inside to try and get the guy going to the outside open. Instead both OSU defenders went with the initial target. The safety was supposed to come down and defend the rub guy, but he got blocked in the end the end zone buy a lineman.
I hear people keep saying who should have run with the QB. I disagree doing that would mean he would have to do a 180, and run into the double coverage. I think he was where he was supposed to be.
The Maryland QB saw his primary target double covered, went to the rub man, but wasn't able to make a good through because an OSU defender was in the passing lane.
I think OSU made the same mistake they have been making all year, and that is being to aggressive to the primary design of the play. Example: A play is designed to go right (or disguised to look that way) OSU Crashed hard right, and the running back cuts back left to see 80 yards of open field. Last play, OSU over defended the primary target, leaving the secondary target wide open, and got lucky a defender ended up in the passing lane.

If my eyes don't deceive me, I think the main read was the shovel, following by looking over to that rub route situation. Don't know that safety that got blocked was necessarily supposed to be on that guy, just happened to end up there when he broke in. 
It probably doesn't inspire a ton of faith you had a breakdown on switching that, but bullet dodged I suppose. 

Initially posted this in the PR thread, but it actually belongs here:
Maryland has LITERALLY been up and down every week this year. Here's an image of their YPP each week:

That might read like a joke. It's not. This is an accurate graph. Lacks an x-axis, but given the trend, the games are easy to count. Last week they went back up to 6.5YPP. So versus OSU, the pattern is to drop way low again before finishing up high versus PSU.

Those are "M"s.   Isn't Michigan's the same?
Yesterday's loss was the saddest for me since hitting the goalpost on a field goal on the last play vs. NC State in 2012 (just before Hurricane Sandy).  Bummer.  Good job by Ohio State, though...
