is not working in these situations... are they really just going to sit back and let this happen again?

Watching this team is like being kicked in the crotch over and over again..
I knew the moment OSU made that 48 yard FG to cut the lead to 4 that this was what was going to happen. Our offense would be unable to do anything to put some points on the board, OSU would get the ball back and score a TD. Ballgame.

I agree, this ******** of bend but don't break isn't working. A LB on a WR and we are going to get beat everytime, but I guess I don't make $100,000 and can't figure that out.

I disagree. 20 points to OSU is hardly a poor performance. If you're going to call out the D, then at least call out the QB who again fails to make good decisions on a drive where they have to make first downs. Instead, 3 and out, D back on the field, and the rest is history.
I'm tired of watching Stanzi this year. I know that's an unpopular opinion, but he is a poor decision maker.

*On the whole* I'd say he's been a better decision maker - he threw way too many bad INTs last year.
But he had the testicular fortitude to make all the throws, and that won us games.
That fortitude has been ripped away by KOK, he who is QB coach and offensive coordinator.

defense for 3 quarters does a good job. OSU also had a lot of drops today that would have changed the game, but that's part of the game.
Still, we give up a FG (could be considered a stop), and we have a decent return out to the 30 yard line. We have a penalty called, and we're back to the 19.
then our offense goes into WTF mode and we pass and stanzi takes the sack. Coker had been running great and we decide to be cute.
I know people will say well if we run we're conservative. Nothing wrong with running on 1st down to see how it goes, at least we're looking at worst a 2nd and 11 with the way Coker had been running. Instead we're 2nd and 17 and we can't convert.
that was the start of us losing the ball game.
