Let's not forget that WVU has one of the worst defenses in the big 12 and they held us to 16... Something needs to change offensively, clearly what we are doing right now isn't working. You're not going to win a lot of games scoring 16 points
Why post this?

We are having a bad day , But OSU is getting stomped by a bottom feeder.

Terrible offense today. You hold WV to 20 and lose your offense is terrible. With a human at RB we wouldn't gain a yard rushing. This OL is horrid in the run game.

Completely got punched in the mouth. Not ready to play. Good job withstanding but this team isn't good enough to come out flat.

Great game by Heacock and the D again.

Or you get stuffed and it's never a game because you're down 10.

We had shots to beat them. Kempt threw ducks.

Kempt was a big reason they came back...missed a few times.

Run blocking was bad and will be from here on out. Anytime a defense gives up 500 some yards and whips on tackles all game it's going to be hard to win.

We had no ******* emotion in the first half, had it in the second half, but allowed to many points And our offense is still iffy. This loss stinks and Kempt is not a runner. Gotta take a step forward next week we should’ve won this one.

The bad play calling took 2 TDs off the board on underthrows?

Every other decent QB makes the throws to Ryen and Lazard and starts jogging to the endzone after they threw it because they know it's a TD.

No throwing a six yard curl on 4 and 7. 3rd and twelve and we run a drag route for 3 yards. Luckily wv bailed us out. We had other play calls that were bad. Qb keeping the ball when we needed one yard for a touchdown. Oh well

I wonder why Coach went cautious in the Redzone today. Man if we could have converted one of this, with our big receivers.

He has actually had some nice runs before. Not this game but previous ones he has gotten first downs.

The difference between tucking the ball and running when nothing's open (the defense is spread over the field giving wide open lanes even Fat Albert can run through) and called plays that the defense doesn't really even need to be sitting on to shut down.

Basically the only change is trying Lanning or Noland. I’m not necessarily advocating for that, but we’re limited. No running game and no deep threat makes it tough.

At the end of the day, Kempt is judged by how many points his unit scores. They've been awful lately.

We should never lose a game we give up 20 points.

Dang it wish they could have made it all the way back. Oh well at least they didn't fold while down by 20. Halftime adjustments helped but just didn't get over the hump. Some short yardage stuff where we took settled for field goals we just couldn't get in the end zone. Oh well onto next week.
