Serious question from friendly rival....

[OrionPaxAPunch]

What is going on Lincoln? Y’all look like real contenders sometime and then sometimes you fall flat like this? On National Television.

Is it a mental thing at this point? Frost seems like he’s a good coach and will turn you around. I just don’t get why the formula seems the same from coach to coach.

 

[Dean Pope]

Nobody knows. There's something cultural going on that's spanned three staffs. When this team gets hit hard in the mouth by an opponent they secretly believe is superior, they do not respond well. Blow out city.

 

[Shoxsker]

yes, its mental. Maybe we arent on their level but from top to bottom this is mental. As stated above they dont respond well to adversity in high profile games. As well we are still a brand that gets peoples best shot while we arent a roster that deserves that so you see THIS SH$#

 

[OrionPaxAPunch]

It’s bizarre. The tools and resources are there. I say show patience with frost and let him do the work.

 

[c3o]

We are probably in the 60s or there ranking-wise. They may be #1. That’s what you’re watching

I’ll believe they’re number one when they beat Wiscy and Penn State.

As will I. They have some work

Weak mentality at QB. Filters down to the rest of the team.

Coach is in love with his athleticism, but can't see that it is ruining the confidence of the entire team now.. so instead of replacing 1 guy, you have an entire team that has lost their mojo.

Frost was a great player.. not the best judge of character to lead his team it would seem.

I would like to know more about this “sometime.”

I don't agree with that. He was running for his life the whole night. Our WRs couldn't get separation and we couldn't consistently run the ball early. OSU is regarded by MANY college football analysts as the best team in the country. We weren't ranked. What did you expect. I figured we were going to be in for a long year starting a freshman center who's never played the position. Then when I found out we were starting a soph walk on at O guard it only multiplied my concern. This rebuild is going to take some time. Riley left a HUGE hole in our O line recruiting IMO.

 

[NikkiSixx_rivals269993]

I don't agree with that.

that's cool, but I have seen it clear as day since last year.

Hard to say, Saban took some *** whippings his first few years at Sparty, Dabo got 70 hung on him in a bowl game early. Nobody reasonably thought we could match talent with OSU, we ran into a talented and focused team and played the same we have all year so far which means mistake filled.

Hopefully these happen less often and then go away, maybe tOSU wins a natty this year, they are really really good.

Did you watch last week’s game? Sure some impressive offensive stats, but there’s a reason it was only a 4 point game.

We have some young talent, but this team is not deep.

 

[Bold Words]

Confidence. They need it badly.

Serious question here because I usually don’t completely disagree with what you have to say... but I have been seeing you talk a lot of trash about 2AM, can you please explain why you feel so strongly of him? Did you feel that way about him before the season? I’m asking cuz I’m genuinely interested in what spurs that from you

Those 3 interceptions were all just bad passes, one of them horrendously bad. That's on the QB.

Confidence is earned.

it's about match-ups, we look ok if we are a lil better then another team, but when out classed we fold pretty quick. but I think gradually we will get better. ohio has just has a lot more horses

I saw this in him last year, and of course was brutalized on this forum for it. Remember, just a short while ago, people were foolishly talking heisman..

I haven't really talked much trash about him, I tell the same story week after week.

The reason I am so passionate about it, is because I want it changed. I don't want to sit here and go through this season, and another, and another with this kid running the show back there.

I think Adrian is a nice young man. I hold no animosity to him personally or as a citizen. He just isn't cut out for this job.

The sooner that get's through the stubborn head coaches mind, the better.. but it seems this is going to drag on and on.

That tOSU team is #1 in the nation!

Martinez had an opportunity to make some plays early, well called plays by Frost, and he choked.

He isn't nearly as good as hyped by me and everyone else around the Program.

This team is average. Recruiting needs to really, really step up...we need bigger, faster DL and LBs and WRs.

Hopefully the next Qb coupled with more development and a big upgrade overall will be ready to compete for the West in 3-5 years.

 

[jteten]

Let’s cut the ****. We don’t have enough talent. Look at who wins on a high level and who gets drafted. We don’t have those guys. I could coach that OSU talent to greatness. Whatever our recruiting budget is....double it or stfu.

He's deer in the headlights, for sure, this year. He panics, and he's lost a lot of touch on his balls. He makes bad decisions.

It's a shame I thought he was going to make major strides and really keep us in ballgames. I was friggin praying/willing it to happen! No dice.

This team is 3-5 years away from being good. Talk to me at the end of the year and we'll see how our class looks. Need some hogs on the DL and some speed/size/pass rushers at LB. Need bigger WR. Hopefully Smothers or McCaffrey is the answer in 3-5 years.

Well stated. In this game, the biggest mismatch was our right tackle vs. a future #1 draft pick, and the coaching decision to leave him one on one with him. Immediate pressure from Chase Young caused at least two of the early interceptions.

2AM had a poor game but having joe Montana back there would not have made any difference when the opponent is better than you at every position. Would have been unfair to anybody to put them in during that disaster. Kind of like when Cally started putting backups in vs Texas tech one year when we got beat 77-6 or whatever it was.

I am just not sure we have anything better. Let's face it ain't Vedral, and Luke couldn't even crack the starting lineup until his senior season, on a **** small Christian academy in bumfuck CO.
