Ellarbee needs to go. He’s a recruiting liability. Pope I’ll give some pass… as I think our WR Telnet just isn’t great. Love Bru but the broken leg hobbled him and he ain’t the same athlete, Squirrel can’t stay healthy and falls down every catch, Thornton could be the best WR in the nation but he’s hobbled most the time, honestly Brazzel hasn’t impressed, Matthew’s and Staley needed more PT all year. Tonight was a tough spot for them with limited experience. Bottom line we need a talent injection to Safety, LB, WR, and OL.

I agree tonight but there’s 50 other QBs out there that would have played better than him tonight. He’s done squat all year, I don’t get the optimism with him. Excuse me, he sure beat the hell out of those first 4 cupcakes on our schedule.

What game were you watching? Nico was the only bright spot tonight. Dude was getting almost no help from his OL or his receivers.

Painful end to an otherwise great season. We overachieved, but entering year 5 and we’ve landed a few top 10 classes.

Time to take the next step, either in recruiting or on the field. Play calling since Alex left has been predictable & uninspired.

I’m still not on the Halzle train. As InVol is to Banks, I am to Halzle.

He’s got the talent, and I don’t know how anyone can deny that. Unlike Milton, this was his first season. He just needs to grow. First freshman to win 10 games at UT. Heupel is going to develop his QB’s and not bring in a one year portal one. He’s stacking them now.

OSU has won at least 11 games 11 of the past 12 years…TN was fighting for bowl eligibility just 3 years ago.

The level of talent OSU has accumulated over time because of that success is why tonight happened. Being that talented doesn’t happen overnight, but I get why most fans are impatient. I believe the talent will come.

Anyone blaming Nico for this needs to go back and watch this game. Nico played the best he can, but when no one is open and your o-line is missing blocks every down, what did you expect? This loss is on our secondary and our offensive game planning.

Thank you. We are not on the same talent level at all. Jeremiah Smith alone is the best player we faced all year.

Pope needs to go also. I don’t like calling for jobs, but we could get a much better recruiter and developer in that spot.

The Ellarbee thing is almost self-evident, at this point.

And I don’t like giving the Golesh cheerleaders ammo, but Heup could probably use a steadier hand at OC.

Sometimes I forget how deep the hole was that we've been trying to climb out of

We descended on Ohio State as a scalp we could claim on our rise.

Boy did they prove that they remain a healthier program in many ways. Even when they are down, they are dangerous. No matter how bad we want it as a fanbase.

Like all other things that are worth a damn in life, there is no easy button

We still have a ways to go

I think we have given Heupel some grace but something tells me that we will demand more, Heupel included, I have no doubts DW will open the check book. How fortunate is OSU to have CHIP KELLY as OC? I think Danny White will green light all the spending. Fans give their absolute all but we could do better. Vol Club still doesn’t have the that many members.
