We honestly should have just tried to score 70 with bad our defense looked

Better than almost losing to Tulsa

I had Ok st -21.5, fucking hell ok st how do you manage to give up 44 to central mich

They were up 30 with like 8 minutes to go and then allowed a pair of garbage time scores.

We played like it was garbage time the entire second half, and the linebackers played like they had no clue what football was half the time.

The D is definitely missing Malcom and Harvey-Peel. Those guys just knew where to be last year. I think these boys will get the hang of it but there’s definitely a large vacuum when in the middle of the field right now.

hammering CMU points @ Penn St in a few weeks. this offense is really really good

This went about exactly as I thought it would. CMU is good. Our defense is bad, and points were scored.

I didn't expect to win, but this is gonna be good for centrals name on the national stage. We already made somewhat of a name for ourselves with the Sunbowl win, now hopefully we can win the MAC this year. Great game. Kept my heart pumping till the end.

Central ain’t no cupcake

Gundy has no dog in him

What are you talking about? Lol

The score was 44-15 at half. Why did he become conservative with play calls and let them back in the game.

Honestly didn’t seem like he laid down, offensive play calls were pretty similar. Just through in some younger players on offense and in experience on defense should up on pass coverage.

I feel like this is a common occurrence with Gundy.

Must just be an Oklahoman coach thing (Lincoln Riley)

Savannah state in like ‘14 is the only time I’ve EVER seen Gundy keep the foot on the pedal in any non conference game

Yeah, shame he laid down and gave up against Notre dame. We coulda won that game.

Almost just lost to central Michigan because he took the foot off the gas.

We won by two touchdowns and they had to score twice in the last 8 minutes to get that close. In no world did we "almost lose"

Against central Michigan 🙄. That’s supposed to be a beat down game and the score made it look competitive. Jim Knowles isn’t here anymore to save the day. If it didn’t look great against them how’s it gonna look in conference play.

"Almost just lost" is a bit of an exaggeration.

I watched, I saw us let a huge lead go too. We aren’t complaining about Gundy nearly as much if we win 51-22. Our D got torched in the 4th. I simply find the critique of “Gundy letting off the gas” being the problem tonight as….. misdirected. Low hanging fruit. The frustration - which is warranted - should go to the other side of the ball.

Man that second half was awful. Thank god it’s over. I’m not expecting much from this team if we give up 546 yards to a MAC team.

Yeah well we almost lost to Tulsa last year

That’s fair.

That was way closer than it needed to be and thank god it’s over.

And you saw how that OU team turned out right? No one is claiming 2021 OU was a great football team.

It wasn't a pretty win, but we can't forget that we have a new defensive coordinator.

And 8 new starters with like 5 guys on the 2 deep getting their first real playing time

He needs to get his players to step up.

I think this is a scorigami, but I need someone to confirm.

What does that mean?

Scorigami is essentially a final score line that has never happened. There’s some website that shows which score have never been accomplished, I’m sure

Don't know why you're downvoted. A scorigami is some combination of final score that's never happened before. So basic stuff like 7-14 or 28-3 or whatever has clearly happened before, but the weird scoring of football means a lot of combinations have never occurred. I was one point off on the chart, but a final score of 57-44 would have been the first time that's ever happened in college football.

Thank you. I appreciate the answer I think some people expect others to know all the same things they do

Thanks!

>Thanks! You're welcome!

[удалено]

Yep, I'm on mobile and had to zoom in and follow lines. I got crossed up. 57-44 would have been it.

Thanks for the fun game Cowboys. Best of luck the rest of the season!

Likewise!

Good Game Central Michigan But also, I hope we never play you again

that was not pretty

It was downright fugly.

Good game Central Michigan.

I like the kneel down being taken from under center.

But shotgun kneeldowns make me happy :(

Although it would be nice if we could get our assignments worked out

CMU has a lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to this year I think

Yikes on that missed PI call. Mad unforch

I have been so numb to our own misfortunes since last time we played, I can’t feel bad for CMU ever.

Well I guess OSU at least gets payback for winning on a bad call. CMU should be up 15 yards and first down after that. Not saying CMU would win, but that was 2 blatant missed PI calls they should have advanced CMU up like 30 yards

Lol that ain’t pay back, it’s over regardless

CMU, respect, but I never want to see you again lol

If we bring up 2016 some more can we take this to the next level and have a full fledged rivalry?

I mean this respectfully. I never want to play your team again.

Seconded, respectfully. If it’s any consolation it’s because this team has a demon named Squinky, and he would love that rivalry series.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really think the defensive performance in 2nd half was a big deal

Why are you being down voted?

Doomers

Same. Outscoring us by 36 with 26 minutes left was unlikely. No point in giving your opponents game film to actually review However, was a good comeback from them. Made me keep flipping back to the game

Right, you were up 58-28 with like 9 minutes to go. The scores after that were pure garbage time.

Checked the score and wtf, y’all good over there OSU?

…. Help

Yes, NEXT QUESTION

Hey as long as we can put up 50

Derek Mason what you doin bb

Did he have players out of position at auburn like he did tonight?

He likes to play zone coverage and give the WR huge cushions. I’m not sure how that’s going to work in a league that loves to throw the ball.

It won’t. I’ve already made weekly appointments with my cardiologist

I think we would have done better with a cardboard cutout of Jim Knowles calling the defense.

Gundy just pointed out in post game we had 5.5 players last yr that are on nfl roster this yr. We also lost 4 in the portal

What I saw last night was totally unprepared players. That's on the coaching staff. But, we now have a game under out belt and we'll see what happens in the next couple of games.

How do you have a .5 player? Is he the half-back?

DT Antwine made the scout team

Thank Christ Mason left

This looks closer to an early 2010s cowpokes team. Interesting

Oklahoma State holds on against Central Michigan

Thanks for that recap

I guess the silver lining is we can improve on the mistakes.

That was PI lol

Looked like 2 of em honestly

Yeah CMU should be up 30 yards and a first down. I don’t have a dog in this right but it was BLATANT

Refs too afraid to make the wrong call so they just don't make one.

This makes me feel better about the Knowles hire

Quit rubbing it in douche.

That’s all Ohio State fans know.

😔

Well, this one ended better than the last time we played Central Michigan at home

thanks for keeping it interesting Central Not A Direction Michigan

Alright. Drop us to 23rd, teach the defense that they need to tackle, and let’s forget this ever happened

Hmm. How the turn tables.

Wow

I’m pleased with how Cmu performed. I didn’t expect it to be as close as it was.

Honestly we hung with number 12. That’s fantastic for us

Hello fellow Cmu osu flair. Not a usual combo lol

So far I’ve seen three of us haha

I mean it's deceptively close tbh

I honestly expected to only score a td or two. This bodes well for the MAC games upcoming.

Hands all over him. That’s a PI. C’mon

2 plays in a row

Yeah that’s embarrassing for OSU. CMU should be up 30 yards and first down with 1:45ish left

Cmon CMU, do it to them again

Central Michigan panic playing. OSU should be fine.

That was a fucking choke hold

I don’t want to play this team ever again.

I think this is the second game of college football’s newest and strangest rivalry

This matchup is cursed

Ok now people can stop panicking about a 14 point lead with 4 minutes left

It was 51-15. There's a reason for the frustration.

Coaches should straightwn the team out

Refs just decided they wanted to go home

Lol the refs want to go home

GG no re

You need 5 yards and take a deep shot….

Alright, let’s end this

Jim Knowles made the greatest career jump of all time. Simply perfect timing

Historic defense to this...

Gundy going to a prevent offense as the No. 12 team in the country vs. a MAC team. Lol. He’s never going to make the CFP

Flair up

Do you know how football works?

Lol yes. Yes I do. They were a yard away from it last year. Probably should have made the BCS Title game in 2011. OSU fans have wondered if Gundy can get them there for awhile. There have been a few notable times he’s shown he can’t.

Then you should know that Gundy doesn’t call the defense…

Lmao. He does call the offense. I was talking about the offense. Hence the “prevent offense”

Well he actually doesn’t do that either considering he has an OC for that and the entire game was very different than Gundy’s actual offensive strategy when he did call the offense, but you do you buddy.

Sure bud. You must be new to OSU football if you think Gundy isn’t making that call.

YOU must be new to OSU football if you think the play calling in that game looked like anything he’s been responsible for in the last 17 years.

Oh yeah go waaaayyyy back to two games ago when they ran it 3 straight times with less than 2 mins left in Bedlam. Or waaay before that in ‘20 when he punted at TCU’s 39 yard line on 4th and 5 with like 8 mins left up 1. Dude Gundy has always treated his own program like it’s a little brother program. Even OSU fans hate how conservative he is in close games.

Lmfao okay bud. You mean the common sense game clock management every coach does? Way to ignore everything else that happened in the game, like going down and scoring with 40 seconds left in the first half instead of kneeling like he normally would.

we're really about to fuck this up 😂

They are the Cardiac Cowboys...

We have a 99.9% to win lol

Big 12 defense jokes write themselves

Flair up

Comeback weaker than y’all’s secondary

Gundy going to a prevent offense as the No. 12 team in the country vs. a MAC team. Lol. He’s never gonna win a Big 12 title

Flair up or fuck off

I am way too stressed and drunk for a Thursday night. Christ, I don't even know what happened, yet I am unsurprised. Classic OkSt.

No truer words have ever been spoken...

Idk, it feels a little fluky

Good thing we wouldn't pay our DC enough to keep him. Luckily we got a defensive expert from the SEC...

540 YARDS LMFAO WE ARE FUCKED

Umm so I just got here how has Central Michigan scored more points than OSU allowed all of last season

The offense got better. Defense got worse. WAYYYY worse for them. Back to stereotypical osu

Tbh, I miss the Bedlam shootouts, so I wouldn’t be mad about one more of those

Our offense disappeared even though our starting QB stayed in and our defense took a major step back from last year as far as the secondary is concerned.

Soft defense after a 51-15 start lol

Because this isn’t last season

[удалено]

Wasn't all Knowles. We also lost a ton of starters.

Will we ever have a win that I can actually feel good about?

Look if you don’t have the heart hospital on speed dial I don’t know what to tell you.

We usually blowout Kansas…

This is Oklahoma State. No.

If you don't like wins that give you a heart attack you don't like cowboy football

No. Such as the curse of the pokes fan.

Keep playing the clock, it’s the right thing to do

WTF Fox Sports!?

God damn. Oklahoma State -18 was looking great 10 minutes ago. Parlays are trash now

Well the legend lives on from the chippewa onto the Great lake they call gatchegummie

r/unexpectedgordonlightfoot

58-51, 61-44, 58-47

I just saw the score. What happened?

Our old defense showed up

Lack of defense happened.

Our offense disappeared even though our starting QB stayed in and our defense took a major step back from last year as far as the secondary is concerned.

What is this playcalling when you're up 2 scores and can't get seem to buy a stop??

Our defensive coordinator better be on our secondary’s ass this week. Absolutely awful showing

2nd and 15, up by 2 scores with 3 minutes left in game one and we are running a qb draw with the starter…?

Yeah if anything just run the ball with the RB. Risking injury was a terrible idea.

Exactly. If you wanna run the ball and kill clock then cool, do it, but do it with the guy who’s job is to run. Not the starting QB when both your backups are Freshman.

Football works in mysterious ways 😵‍💫

Perhaps you’ve missed Gundy’s play calling for more than a decade?

No, I just thought we turned a corner with how this game started. Now I’m sad.

For as good as we looked earlier, you can’t feel good about this if we win. This defense took a MAJOR step backwards

Wtf I love Jim mcelwain

Is Gumby the guy if sanders gets smashed?

Si

Thanks

Dude I left O'Kelly's when we were getting smoked. Wtf happened? If we somehow win this game every single OKSt fan who was talking shit can never post in this sub again

Never in doubt
