Opinion: What Ohio State did wrong against Purdue last night

1. Couldn't score a touchdown in the redzone the whole game. In the first half, Ohio State had 2 field goals, one missed field goal, and one turnover on downs. 2. RBs couldn’t get going at all. Less than 100 yards rushing in the game 3. O-line was horrendous. They wouldn’t block at all.... 4. Special teams need some work. Dixon almost let up a safety. The kicking team also let up BIG returns. Missed an FG. Allowed a fake FG to eventually lead to a TD. 5. Too many penalties. Costed Ohio St multiple drives and brought Purdue back to life on their respective drives. 6. Parris Campbell couldn’t get going at all. They only threw bubble screens to him THE WHOLE GAME. 7. Linebackers were bad as usual. Continue to let up BIG running plays. Especially in the 4th quarter. 8. Corners didn’t know what they were doing. Blough had a field day passing. 9. Defense was confused on many Purdue possessions. A leader would be nice for them. 10. Got to the QB only once or twice in the whole game. They have to do a better job at pressuring the QB. 11. Coaching staff wasn’t communicating well. I think Urban Meyer is organizing the play calls. Ryan Day needs to have more of a say. 12. Gave up way too many TDs at the end of the game. Score was still kind of close until the defense fell apart late. 13. Why is it that “Hospital stuff” always showcased when Ohio State plays this type of game? Is it on purpose? Have you ever seen other teams do it?

FINAL THOUGHT: Ohio State was outcoached, outplayed, and definitely NOT ready for this game against Purdue. The QB and WRs are the only people that showed up for Ohio State. The Bye Week should help them get things sorted out. I expect a drubbing versus Nebraska in 2 weeks.

FINAL SCORE: Purdue: 49 Ohio St.: 20
