Urban Meyer didn't get Dwayne Haskins the single-game passing record, which I'm still extremely salty about, but despite the soul-sucking experience of watching a multi-touchdown underdog run the Buckeye defense ragged for the large majority of yesterday's game, I'm going to focus on the positive.
For instance: it was cool how the receiving corps played a nearly mistake-free game and came up with big catches when they were needed. It was neat that Indiana, which traditionally sucks against everyone else, continued their streak of somehow playing Ohio State much tougher than anyone else on their schedule. I enjoyed watching the athleticism of our defensive backs as they ran helplessly behind Hoosier wideouts for quarters one throu... No. No!
Ohio State won. Wins are cool and good. So are Social Reactions!

Do they need someone to shoot 3s? Because if not, no I cannot. https://t.co/eE13GuFYtE

Its hard to be taken seriously as a playoff bound team if we cant cover IU receivers...or any other teams receivers this year for that matter. Bad ball.

Tuff Borland needs to play at normal depth. If it's supposed to be a head start for him he needs to get his head out of his arse and follow the ball!!!!

All three fifth-year senior WR captains Parris Campbell, Johnnie Dixon and Terry McLaurin now have double digit TD receptions for their career. McLauren has 13, Dixon 11 and Campbell 10. All have TDs today.

The offense is continually getting better. Our defense stepped up when we needed to get stops. Obviously they didn't play their best. We didn't play our best as well. But at the end of the day we got the W. And that's all we care about. pic.twitter.com/msLtzU6Qjb
