We utterly wasted one of the greatest defenses this school will ever see with that mediocre ass fucking offense.

Miracle worker with this putrid most overated oline  in the history of the sport. 

Running to the sideline for a 6 yard loss ended the game. It was retarded.

He is too clever by half when the right playcall is obvious. He needs to have a long conversation with Saban, and before this conversation he needs to check his ego at the door.

FUCK YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT! THIS FUCKING PLAYCALLING AT THE 1 YARD LINE WAS FUCKING DOG SHIT YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKER!
I feel you. I've been on Quinn all year long. And for good reason.

Now let's take a long hard look at Sark. He's a huge liability in these games.

Where was Arch?

1st and goal from the 1 should have been Arch time. It gives the defense another running threat to worry about. Arch picked up a first down in his only appearance in the game

Some of you seem very angry. I know, let’s have a spelling contest.

Sark told his o-line - you aren't good enough, RBs you aren't good enough with those play calls. Absolutely no faith in his beloved run game

The moment I heard "jumbo package" and a defensive player's name, 2023 OU flashed in big bright alarm lights in my head.

<sigh>

Arch on 1st and goal dumbass

It’s just that simple. :((((((

Don’t understand all the doom and gloom talk. We’re probably having a completely different conversation if Baxter doesn’t get injured.

Could have FB Dive'd it 4 times and even if you don't get it the Buckeyes are at their own 1 yard line.  Potential safety or you're getting the ball back with plenty of time on their side of the field.  But nah, we'd rather run some long developing outside runs against an elite defense.  Don't know where the idea Sark is some genius playcaller ever came from.

Yep. Run the damn ball DOWN HILL! If you can't get a yard with 4 tries you do not deserve to be here.

Ohio State lost their All-American center to an ACL tear against Michigan, and are now playing for the national title.

Everyone is dealing with injuries, this is a silly conversation to be having.

This loss is on Quinn.

You're a fucking dipshit. 

Sark the offensive genius who can barely score 14 points in any big game we have. Next year will really show if it’s a Sark or Quinn problem

We weren't getting in up the middle. MAYBE off tackle, but Sark had no faith in his OL there. I didn't like the toss play, but who can you fucking rely on to block?

Tough sequence there. I probably stick with throwing and give Quinn the green light to run.

One thing missed on Sark is the play calling with good field position after the Gbenda INT. Again it was the 2nd down run call that was stupid . Stupid stupid stupid

Either dive x3 from the 1 or have Arch get out there to power left or toss over the top to 85. The pitch was just stupid ass fuck. 

How are you going to preach culture and NOT TRUST YOUR GUYS TO GET ONE FUCKING YARD

The impact of not having a larger bodied running back to Sarks offense, coupled with an immobile QB is bigger than you think.

You should never go into a shot gun, take the ball from the 1 yard line to the 5 in .03 seconds period. dont matter if its vs Southwest Texas State in late August or vs Ohio St for a right to play for a national championship

 

dumbest thing a playcaller can do. 

 

and thats before you run a god awful slow developing pitch play for a loss of 6

Arch might have been dinged up???

Remember it was Sark who took Reggie Bush off the field on 4th and 2 against Texas in 2006.  He isn't going to win big as the Head Coach and OC.  He needs lots of help and I don't see him hiring experienced coaches to help.

So is not having a center.

How do we know? We only tried 1 fucking time then did the dumbest fucking playcall i've ever seen

Sark is the fucking man. We just went b2b national semifinals - i.e. where Texas should be. 

We came up short but that shit happens. 

I think next season with Arch under center we're going to fuck and a lot of you are going to eat your words.

The correct play was called (Len Dale White), we were just better.

The loss is on the coach. 

Then go coach the team, fuckface.

Arch and a healthy IZ game is going to make this offense look unbeatable at times next year.

The final score is not indicative of how close this game was despite all the adversity. 

Hell of a game by Sark to have a chance to get it done late, not great play calls at the 1, but our OL is not good at short yardage at all and OSU is elite at stopping it.

Edited by Atticus

Disagree with using Gibson on the 1st down call. True freshman with ball safety issues who gets maybe 2-3 carries a game only when we need short yardage and he always gets the ball. I wonder where the fuck the ball is going?

The red zone play calling was bad.  But, in fairness, if we run it between the tackles 4 times and get stuffed, the *exact same people here* are losing their minds about how you can't do that against Ohio St, blah, blah.

Look, the offense underperformed the second half of the year.  It was also missing three running backs and it had QB1 and WR1 playing hurt, linemen were going down, etc.  Go look at the box scores from the first half when we were healthier -- 30+ on Michigan and OU, and 50+ on everybody else.  Then we got beat up and it ground to a halt.

As for going out in the semis two years in a row, some of y'all seem to think that's some kind of a failure.  Well, Ohio State has been consistently excellent for like 25 years, right?  They have two titles, maybe about to be three.  They have a shitload of near misses.  Maybe it's just really hard to finish the deal?  Like maybe all 4 of the final 4 teams are really freaking good, and expecting to win the whole thing more than 1 time in 4 is being unrealistic?

Sark has us where we need to be.  Next year, Arch and CJ are gonna light up scoreboards.  We are winning at least one of the next three national championships.  It's coming.  Y'all chill.

Good lord. It was a derpy play call but get a hold of yourself. 

It was more than derpy. Sark needs to consider restructuring game day responsibilities or give up play calling duties all together. He struggles with momentum and management during the games and it needs to be addressed.

 

 

15 points vs. Georgia

16 points vs. Georgia (after 4Q)

14 points vs. Ohio State

Gross

I will point out if we don't give up the TD with 20 seconds left in the half from the 25 yard line on that screen pass, the score is 14-14 there and we kick the field goal. Well, try to kick the field goal in any case. Then it's on the defense to stop them. 

That TD on the screen pass changed the complexion of everything.

That was Lane Kiffin’s call.

Great point.  Just like the “all gas no brakes” hogwash, the “culture” line is hollow too

Also OP is a fucking clown and should be banned from starting threads.

Behold!  Sark's play calling genius!  In all its glory!

 

 

I figured he would try to get cute after running up the gut on first down didn't go anywhere. Again, the wrinkle he should have used was putting Arch under center.
