It was basically a hail mary playcall. Does a QB have a choice to not go deep on that kind of play? The play ended with 15 seconds left. The coaches had let so much time run off the clock that the only way score was to throw a pass like that, and Beck CALLED a pass like that. If they were just going to check down, they should have used the timeout the play before.

You're basically saying that Taylor had a choice to completely ignore his coach's playcall.

Yeah, he does. Scramble, take a sack, roll out and throw it in the stands.

I do not care what the playcall was. Taylor is presented with one of two options: 1) likely pick, good opportunity for more points for Ohio State, or 2) pack it in and live play another half.

He chose #1.

Taylor's job is to execute his coach's plan. In this case, it was the coach's awful plan that resulted in a turnover.

No, it isn't. There was no part of the plan in that play that called for a risky interception. At worst, if Taylor takes a shot, throw it somewhere that isn't covered like that.

I take it you are also against quarterbacks ever calling audibles - another situation in which the quarterback goes against his coach's plan, based on what he is seeing the defense do.

As I said earlier, I'm all about patience for Taylor, but you are really, *really* stretching in this defense of Taylor.

Bo's supposed to be a Defensive guy, what happened?

He doesn't have Bill's talent to coach. These are the players that Bo has recruited and as you see he took us back to the dark days of the Solich. And before everyone starts the retarded "Bo good, Callahan bad" BS, just look at the facts. Bo was really good with the talent he was left, now that it's gone, we can't even score worthless points at the end of the game as everyone was complaining about under Bill. Our offense and defense totally suck now. Then you throw in his tantrums and it's obvious how this is going to end. But how long depends on when TO can admit that he made a mistake. And he still hasn't admitted that Frank was a mistake, so who knows when it will be.

This is a joke. Solich had a 7-7 season. The big attrocity was the inability for a football guru like steve pederson to realize that football had changed and expecting to be the conference champ every year was not realistic. Callahan was a bad coach. He provided us with two 5 win seasons in 4 years. You can't blame Solich recruits for that. Eh....too much other crap to discuss than this old garbage....

If he would have stayed, he would have had a 5 win season. That team had zero talent, go look at that 2004 roster and think of any coach that could have a winning record with that team. There is a reason why nobody wanted the job and we had to settle for our 5th choice. No talent plus unrealistic expectations= a sh**ty job.
