The worst defensive showing I've seen from an Ohio St. team in a long time, just awful all the way around.

Schiano freakin' blows.  He got lucky with a couple of decent draft classes at Rutgers, and has now made a career and small fortune for being a great double talker.

Yes at or very near one of the most pitiful defensive showings I've seen. 

Over 10 yards a carry !!!!!

I jumped in the car this afternoon expecting it was over, and the Sirius radio was on the channel so I heard everything that transpired in OT.

I was just watching the recording, and it ended just as Maryland was about to take the lead at the end of the game.

How did the offense look going down to tie the game?

Efficient? Or was it luck that they tied it?

The National Championship team that wasn't, Cooper had a couple of them.

Is Meyer in constant pain during the games, or is he just perplexed that the defense continues to make superstars out of nobodies?

The reason I'm curious, is that there is much speculation, in many circles, that Meyer will step away at the end of the season. So much to the point that there is even a rumored "short list" of desired candidates to take over for Urban Meyer, with Iowa St's Matt Campbell at the top, and OSU's Ryan Dey being a close second. I'm beginning to wonder if this whole thing isn't already a "done-deal", and the health issues just provide a graceful way for Urban to step away, similar to how he left Florida?

It's pretty common knowledge that wealthy alumni donors are who really pull the levers for big decisions in these major college programs, and the rumor coming from the alumni whispers that Urban is out.

I can't quite sum it up in 25 words or less but I fully believe these coaches, except Dey have lost the players. There's just something not right, the connection is broken, the desire isn't there among the players.

I wouldn't have dreamed I'd being saying this a couple years ago but I think Meyer needs to go.
