1. The false start when we were going for it on 4th and 2 at mid field which resulted in us having to punt instead, was an absolute killer. We just needed 2 yards and we were getting exactly two yards on every freaking running play, so it was meant to be!! 
Seriously though, that lack of discipline started the snowball!
2. Catch the ball! Seriously, just catch the damn ball. Once you do, secure it like it actually means something to you! Gentry was awful today. I feel sorry for the kid. He will be thinking about those brutal drops for a while.
3. The lack of a pass rush was almost comical after a while. Haskins was LITERALLY never hurried and never touched!! Not one guy beat his man and got a run at him during the entire game!! Not one!! Not once!! Sure, you don't want to get burned, but you would think that a blitz now and then would have been nice!
4. Brandon Watson..... bless his heart. The bully picked him out of the lunch line the entire game and just got fat eating his lunch! It reminded me of that Football movie where there is an onside kick and the kicker looks at all of the players on defense and spots the one who is sweating and trembling and decides to kick it at him. The buckeyes were smart and took advantage of a huge weakness today and we had no answer for it!
5. 3rd and 8, 3rd and 7, 3rd and 11 etc, etc. You aren't going to win a lot of games when you are consistently 3rd and long. We ran on first and second down right up the gut all damn day for minuscule gains and put ourselves in horrible positions on 3rd down. This "we will wear them down and then have success in the 4th quarter" crap is just a fairy tale against an OSU team.
On a positive note..... thank you Jake Moody for stepping up and not wetting the bed in the big moments these last two weeks. You were a rock star! Great job Nico Collins as well!
