Why I’m not worried about our “3rd down issues” Against Kent State we didn’t have our first 3rd down until Ohio State was winning 21-0 In the first half against Texas, Ohio State went 5 for 8 on 3rd down, converting 3rd and 13, 3rd and 10, and 3rd... and 6show more

The problem with your theory is it’s incomplete. you’re only including 2 quarters of football vs Texas. Why exclude the 2nd half when we had 3-4 3 and outs in a row? The game is played with 4 quarters. Additionally you need to include the first half vs Ball St.

What happened in the second half

Yes, thank you. It's the same shit as the "Julian won't throw in the middle of the field" thing. It's all people who don't understand the game. Pro tip for those kinds of people: ask an D1 college or NFL OC if he would EVER throw into the middle of the field if he didn't have to. They will all tell you absolutely not. If you can't figure out why on your own, it's because you don't understand the sport.

Now tell us about the second half when they blew a 20 point lead. Take the goggles off and be realistic with yourself man. This is done disgusting work

Yeah it’s a talking point that has been missed. The team sprinted to a 28-0 lead & then had issues.

You shouldn’t be worried about anything, Texas just converted 4th and 20 down to take that W. Seriously, if you’re measuring OSU’s success vs Kent St, then I think you have bigger competition perception problems. Surely the Big 10 is going to be tougher than Kent St.

Yes 3rd down & short yardage are issues / concerns. But fans don’t ask why so few 3rd downs. It because they were very efficient on 1st & 2nd downs.

ALL you gotta do is KNOW THE NAME TYLER 🗑️ 🚮 BOWEN OL COACH 🤷🏼‍♂️

We’re great at getting 4+ yards. Just awful at getting 1-2 yards.

THANK YOU. It's almost like people played down the level of the competition and the level of significance in the game.

I didn’t watch the Kent State game, they won 59-3 and we lost to the now #1 team at their stadium by 1. But what is everyone freaking out about

The problem is bro it’s only going to to smith i mean i get it he’s a 🐐 but damn someone gotta be great play Chris Henry ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Yes, by not looking at the negative facts of 3rd downs, 3rd downs are no concern, lol!

we were beating the brakes off inferior talent so execution doesn't matter, especially from a team who's bad habits tend to trend year long and never get addressed. no, until we see changes every issue is glaring.

I’m not very concerned in general. Very young team (51 new faces) lots in key roles. We lost by 1 at Texas in talent equate game where we made 8 key mistakes Learning to close out is big and missing once on that is a huge teacher We will be great this season

I’m much worried about 4th down issues. It seems like we have converted a fourth down since 2024.

yall tweaking about kent state as if the coaches or players treat it even remotely the same. We played well against a good texas team, the coaches let us down. Were fine

It may sound like an excuse… but I think once this team gets a decent lead they just stop caring 😭😭 which the coaches need to fix if that’s the case

Na. That 3rd down crap and Bo Jackson running up the middle getting big gains means nothing because they lost. Since Ohio State won by 56. 3rd downs matter!
