Great... why not say this in the game thread?

 

Because it’s a recurring season-long problem which is deserving of its own thread.

ric likes to be the center of attention.   his opinion is always so significant that it has to have it's own thread.   

 

Yeah, because having opinions different from others...on a DISCUSSION BOARD...is merely attention whoring.

They’ve been consistently terrible all season. I have to think we would have tried an onside kick at the end if our kicker could be trusted. 

I feel like if you have 3 min and two TO and you know they are going to run it you should be able to get that stop so I’m +\- on trying an onside there. But yes our ST is an embarrassment

Yes, the lack of improvement and seeming total lack of attempt at special teams is very concerning. It would be the one knock on this staff so far. Our piss poor ST’s play was very likely the difference between a win and loss today. Frost needs to quit paying it lip service and fix that sh#t. We can blame a lack of jimmies and joes for a lot of our woes but ST is a direct result of how much emphasis the coaches put (or don’t put) on it. If it was just bad it would be one thing but it has been much worse than that.

Yeah we have plenty of talent to field a competent ST squad and you know, not kick a kickoff backwards and follow it up with a uncontested blocked punt and a kick out of bounds. Then there is the always vital 30 yard punt avg. on the day. We can look at a lot of things that would’ve changed the outcome today but the ST play probably was enough to turn this from a win to a loss and really had nothing to do with OSU having better players
