Cannot wait for another QB next year. What an amazing QB stable Hoke left us..
Speight lost the game. 2 ints, pick 6, fumble at the goal line. I think the suckeye fans should praise Speight for his contributions towards their win..Cannot wait for another QB next year. What an amazing QB stable Hoke left us..

We got 1 5 star and 4 high 4 star players in our favor through recruiting on the OL along with several from last class. I think we will be fine. Hoke didn't get many good offensive linemen except Kalis whom was a bust.Honestly, I'm more concerned about the OL that was left to us. Kalis was beat like a red-headed step child nearly all game. He failed to pick up 5McMillan on the blitz that caused the pick 6 and hasn't been very good at opening holes to run. Once again, we have a chance to ice the game with a few first downs and failed to do so.

Not that I'm a big defender of his, but Speight did things to help us win and things that contributed to the loss. What I'm more angry about is the officiating. They missed call after call that should have gone against the home team. Some of the big ones came in OT. They missed a PI on a 3rd down pass. Missed a holding call on 3rd and long that set up 4th and 1. And, I'm still saying he was short of the first.
There should be an open competition for the QB job next year and not just given to Speight. I am not sold at all on this stiff.It was the kid's first year as starter, and he was playing hurt. Not mention not everything was on Speight. Consider the pick-six, he was rushed as Smith missed picking up the block on a blitzing line-backer. And best of all, he was able to shrug off the mistake and drive down for a score, that is something that cannot be taught.

Yeah I get it but, I think there should just be turnover. Too many upperclassmen not playing up to their ability. Speight(I guess he just sucked), Kalis, Smith and even at times Chesson and Darboh. I assume the younger guys will be developed more than the Hoke players. I do like that he righted the ship on a lot of them though because they looked really soft and terrible in Hoke's final years. Captain No set really whiffed on developing players.And I wouldn't disagree on that. Honestly, there should ALWAYS been an open competition, for every position.
Football should be a meritocracy, and the players that give the team the best chance to win should get the snaps. And I have faith that's how Harbaugh runs things.
I'm just saying don't be surprised if Speight is still the starting QB next year.

I'm kinda more hopeful that Peters is the bomb.Yeah.......one of the areas Hoke really failed was in development of players. So for the upperclassmen, there was only so much Harbaugh could do to make up for lost time. Which don't get me wrong, he has done a phenomenal job with that, but it shows when they play a team that has had better development.
And again, don't forget, as to Speight, this is his first year as starter and since he redshirted, has plenty of time to improve. One shouldn't be judged on just what is their worst day (and that goes for more than football), look at the whole body of work. And with Speight, there is a lot to be hopeful with.

What pisses me off more is the line judge coming from the other side of the field to overrule the line judge who had the better vantage point and spotted the ball damn near a half yard past what they needed. He did that a couple other times in the game. Theye just went ahead and gave them the first with no need to measure.
TBH there was no way those refs were going to reverse that call and end OSUs season on their field. They wanted no part of the shit show that would have caused
