Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted October 28 First of all, isn't he acting as many of their fans do? Projecting to the base? Second, the injuries on the offensive line are serious; picture we lose Conerly for the season, and the backup is not very good. He gets hurt and now you are down to an inexperienced sophomore? That is what the Buckeyes have experienced, thus injuries are not Day's fault. The left side was their strong side, as the right side was weak and gave up sacks before playing us. Thus their running game has dropped off, and protecting the passer is difficult. Penn State and Indiana both have good edge rushers, thus my wish of playing someone different in the B1G Championship game might come to pass.

30Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted October 28 (edited) Day is dealing with injuries, not his fault, though it seems like Oregon has been without their top defensive player for 3 games now, including the Buckeyes, and are managing to cope. Day's record doesn't come close to getting a coach fired, that's overall. But in the most important games, it hasn't gone well. Ohio State and its fans will only put up with so much, and when a coach has a scream fest on the sideline, it's getting to him.

DanLduck No. 11 Share Posted October 28 Fan bases are all the same, lose a game they think you should have won, and they become unhinged and call for heads to roll. I remember hearing rumblings after Lanning lost to UW and OSU. And then again last year after the 2 losses to UW, 'can't win the big one', 'not ready for the big leagues', but boy am I glad we got him. It is funny to watch/hear tOSU fans crying...and Day is such an immature 'nut' on the sidelines, I'll enjoy their tantrums. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOD No. 12 Share Posted October 28 (edited) Don't even really like talking about the "I word", it is such a difficult part of the sport. I've been watching much of the season finding myself thinking, "Ok, nobody get hurt, nobody get hurt, nobody get hurt!" The run to the Oregon/Auburn National Championship game was a pretty phenomenial year with health. I don't think the defensive unit missed a single game from a starter due to injury (with 21 defensive players listed as playing in all 13 games). The only offensive injury I can really recall was Kenjon Barner getting knocked out for two games after the kickoff at WSU. Really remarkable. 2014 Oregon/tOSU National Championship year wasn't quite so lucky. There were injuries early and then very unfortunate and unlucky injuries late (impacting the playoffs). From what I can remember, the season started off with starting LT Tyler Johnstone being lost for the season with what was a bad knee injury. Fisher moved over to LT and Andre Yruretagoyena was inserted at RG, where he hurt his foot in game two (and I don't think ever played much again for the Ducks before retiring from football). Ficher then hurts his knee the next week versus Wyoming. For a couple games the OL was really scrambling at OT, then in game 9 Matt Pierson who had been helping hold down OT, hurt his knee. Grasu even missed the final two games of the regular season with a bad leg. Despite that, the season is probably more remembered for Pharoah Brown's horrible leg injury game 10 against Utah where he was lost for the season tearing two ligaments in his knee and opening up an artery which cut off blood flow to the leg below the knee. Prior to the injury, Pharoah was having a breakout season as one of the Pac-12s top TEs. I also recall Thomas Tyner missing a couple games with that shoulder. On defense, of course, Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, on his way to being a very possible first round NFL draft choice, hurt his knee in the practices leading up to the Florida State game and was lost for the year. Armstead missed two games with an ankle. During the playoffs, Devon Allen tore his ACL on the opening kickoff of the Florida State game, and then, while not an injury, Darren Carrington, got suspended for the Ohio State game (Carrington in the prior two games had 14 catches for 291 yards and 3 TDs). This year, knock-on-wood, has been pretty good so far, with Burch possibly missing 4-6 weeks as the biggie. Also, as most I'm sure know (but arguably should be mentioned), Oregon has been without two projected starters in Florence and Bedford, its #4 WR in Bryant, and backup OL Luli all season. In some years past, that might have spelled considerable trouble, really amazing how well the staff and team have pushed through those absences.

Nevada Dawg No. 13 Share Posted October 28 Back to Day on the hot seat: Most on the Talkin Dawgs site think that Day will survive most scenarios this year. But (and this won't happen) Let OSU lose again to Michigan for the fourth straight year and you should expect the Mayflower Van Lines truck in front of the Day household by January 15. Not my opinion but a popular prediction from Dawg fans who seem to have as much or more fun poking fun at Cryin Day as Duck partisans do. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktmguy2018 No. 19 Share Posted October 28 A lot of the rumblings that I hear/read pertain to the fact that people "feel" Ohio State should be better. They have elite talent at multiple positions and the "feeling" is that should translate to a better product on the field. Elite talent is important, but injuries and playing together to gel are critical component (see OBD's first couple games). While the national pundits and Ohio State slobber-ers were heaping praise on the team at the beginning of the year, tOSU had not played anyone. Oregon happens and now I think there is some doubt that has crept into that locker room. This last week they played to the level of the competition. OBD has been rising above their competition and you are beginning to see the cracks in the walls in Columbus as they realize maybe, just maybe their poo stinks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augduck No. 23 Share Posted October 28 If Day loses to Penn State the calls to Mayflower could commence. Was talking to some very nice tOSU fans before the game in Eugene and one of them commented that 'the rumors' in Columbus are that a major part of the reason Day brought Chip in was because IF Day does get fired he would look to go to the NFL and take Chip with him. These fans commented that they have heard Day is getting tired of the 'BS' and the fan base in Columbus. Fact or fiction, who knows but none the less interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
