The red zone play calling was bad. But, in fairness, if we run it between the tackles 4 times and get stuffed, the *exact same people here* are losing their minds about how you can't do that against Ohio St, blah, blah.
Look, the offense underperformed the second half of the year. It was also missing three running backs and it had QB1 and WR1 playing hurt, linemen were going down, etc. Go look at the box scores from the first half when we were healthier -- 30+ on Michigan and OU, and 50+ on everybody else. Then we got beat up and it ground to a halt.
As for going out in the semis two years in a row, some of y'all seem to think that's some kind of a failure. Well, Ohio State has been consistently excellent for like 25 years, right? They have two titles, maybe about to be three. They have a shitload of near misses. Maybe it's just really hard to finish the deal? Like maybe all 4 of the final 4 teams are really freaking good, and expecting to win the whole thing more than 1 time in 4 is being unrealistic?
Sark has us where we need to be. Next year, Arch and CJ are gonna light up scoreboards. We are winning at least one of the next three national championships. It's coming. Y'all chill.
