I would tend to agree with Mr. Elliot. Those on this thread denigrating him have no idea what they are talking about, IMO.
I’ve been following this team for a very long time, and the play calling in tonight’s game was pathetic, and I predicted at the beginning of this season that OSU would not be able to repeat as National Champions due to the fact that their previous Offensive Coordinator departed for another team. Unfortunately, I was absolutely correct.
The play calling in the game today for OSU was laughable and reflected the poor play calling all season long from a very one dimensional Offensive Coordinator that OSU decided to stick with.
It was disheartening to see one QB run after another this season (for me, an OSU fan), and unbelievably predictable for any defensive coordinator facing OSU, and tonight was particularly atrocious from a play calling standpoint. At one point, OSU ran 3 consecutive QB runs and went three and out on that series, and the fans rightfully scorned the team for such a pitiful play selection. They HAD a very good RB in Mr. Elliot and decided that he was not the answer in this game.
If Urban Meyer wants to be a force next year, he absolutely MUST replace his offensive coordinator, IMO.
OSU in 2015 reminds me of OSU in 1969 in oh so many ways.# 1 in 1968 and Consensus #1 all year in 1969 and had to play only 9 games and no bowl. A lock for the title. Until Michigan came in and exposed their weakness. They had great athletes that returned from that ‘68 championship team too, just like this year,
