Ohio State defense

Today's debacle wasn't all on the defense.  They had a couple of opportunities to take command of this game, and force Nebraska to become one dimensional.  Instead, they turned the ball over, both on downs and on fumbles, not to mention an INT in the end zone the opening possession of the second half.

Now, I'm not saying that the defense isn't without it's faults.  A targeting foul, many, many missed tackles and blown coverages, not to mention allowing Nebraska to continue gaining positive yardage on the ground.  Schiano is terrible, it's past time for him to go.

Dad and I were talking during the 1st half, we both agree that it's time for Urban to either step down or just plain retire.  Sure, you can point to the number of his assistants that have left for head coaching gigs, but the team just seems to not have that "fighting spirit" that they had early on, while he was serving his suspension.  Yeah, they got up for the Penn St. game, nice job.  But, since then, it's been a steady decline in both determination and execution, on both sides of the ball.
