Tressel is STILL the worst play caller in college football history and needs to give up the offense immediately. He is the reason we had a chance to LOSE at the end. Hate his play-not-to-lose mentality that keeps EVERY oppenent in the game till the end.

[Mary]

We need to win on the national stage now. We got lucky on this one and they were playing with a 2nd string quarterback.

[Sharon Nale]

I think our Defense played well all year. Our offense had some great moments. Terrell had some great moments. The one thing that was consistent was Coach Tressell's conservative play calling. We will not win the Rose Bowl unless he loosens up a bit.

[Sharon Nale]

Another thing- why hand the ball to Herron four times in a row when Saine was doing very well? Didn't see Saine get the ball the last quarter. Was he hurt?

[Drill Baby Drill]

Fire Tress and get a coach that go on 4th and one.
he has no ^&*(&(, Tress suks!

2009 season has not concluded yet. If we lose the Rose Bowl, then it's again a disappointing season. We need some upgrades on the O-Line coaches. Watching Iowa's O-line man handles a talented buckeye D-line makes me really jealous.

[friendlyphil]

The season is a success, but why don't I feel good about it? It could have been so much better. Losing to USC just ruined it for me.

[Sports Fan]

It seems like freshman quarterbacks come in here and play well against the Bucks. Matt Barclay did it and now James Vanderberg. What is up with that? And, Tressel almost cost the Bucks the game. Please hire an offensive coordinator and new offensive line coach!

[Carnivore]

I consider the Defense to be the heart of the team, do I think TP has grown well yes. Was the season a loss no not really? Were we disappointed a little as fans “yes”? Do we always want more “yes”? We will be good in the Rose Bowl if the same team we watched tonight shows up. TP still needs to work on shutting his mouth! Great job Buckeyes! Keep up the great work, and to bad it will not be USC in the bowl game...lol...

He won't be second string anymore...Stanzi will be lucky to ever see any playing time behind Vandenberg, who looked really good. He actually has better throwing technique than Pryor.

Normally, I would have said nothing until after the Michigan game. But, Michigan is in a downward spiral and I think we can win that one up North. IF not, we will all be scratching our heads again, wondering which OSU will make an appearance at the Rose Bowl.

[Godzilla]

Still need to beat Michigan though.

[Larry]

I've been as hard as anyone on Tressel but going for it on your own 29 are you crazy? He did that in the NC game w/Beanie Wells, got stopped he learned that lesson. Up-grade the O-line? We had 2 count them 2 backs run for 100 yards (Herron 97). What is the goal of any football game? WIN, did we win? Man some of you armchair coaches need to get a clue before you start spoutin' off & and showing how little you really know what it takes to win ball games!

[Glen Virginia]

The season is not and will not be a success until we Beat Michigan! End of Story.

[Ellen]

As soon as we beat Michigan it will be a very very good season.

[Not yet]

We still need to beat Meechicken

[AngelBear_OH]

No! Not a success! OSU still has that 900-pound gorilla on their backs called "Can't Beat Top Five Out of Conference Teams". And taking care of business on next week's Wolverine Stomping Day will do nothing to change that!

[Not yet]

wee still need to beat meechicken

[Mr B]

Tressel is indeed the worst play caller I've seen in many years. He was seriously out-coached in this game. OSU won, despite Tressel's play calling. There is a reason why his record against top ten teams stinks, he doesn't play to win,he plays not to lose.

[scsecaur]

Rose Bowl appearance. How could it NOT be a success?
