Key points
  • "Then things like this can come up." Ryan Day said everything is on the table -- coaching changes, play calling duties, personnel adjustments.
  • Nothing is in Ohio State's control anymore and two-straight losses following its bye week is on the minds of everyone.
  • Ohio State has struggled to have a consistent rushing game all season and that was no different against Oregon.

So now Ohio State sits at 6-3 overall and 4-2 in Big Ten play and the season that once had sky-high expectations is all but shattered, and the phrasing of 'on life support' almost too optimistic.

Additional details
  • Either way, it's too little too late for Day and the Buckeyes.“I think there's two games in a row where there's just really been no rhythm on offense,” Day said.
  • “If we're not going to run the ball consistently and give him easier throws and again, put him (Fahey) in better situations," Day said.
  • "I can't sit here coming out of these last two games and say we've done a good enough job in those areas." with Luke Fahey under center against USC and Oregon, the Buckeyes scored just 23 points in the first three quarters combined, and zero passing touchdowns.
  • Ohio State's fourth-quarter touchdowns came with 3:25 remaining, 2:12 remaining and 44 seconds left.
  • After 42 yards in the first quarter, the Buckeyes went for six yards, four yards and nine yards the remaining three quarters.
