It's been banks since he's been here

True

 

[VOLinAL]

These receiver better be catching these balls this drive. Need 30+ by halftime.

 

[Carl Pickens]

A non contact PI call set up that TD. It still doesn’t excuse the putrid 4th down defense.

There were two receivers their QB could have gone to. The one that made the catch and another and both were wide open

 

[Vol8188]

We have the most annoying fan base in the country. It’s absurd to be upset every time we rush four and play zone.

We rushed four and played zone on the Carter sack earlier. There’s no defense in the country that only plays man

 

[molsen81]

The Ohio State scores

Banks goes to zone alot on 3rd and 4th and long. If you run a zone blitz and don't get to the QB there are huge holes to throw to. I don't get his obsession with it. We have the players to play man

As good as we are getting to the QB, he should've came after him or call a time out and regroup

 

[volbound1700]

We are fine

I tend to agree for this game. Defense seems slow.

Kind of in minority here but I think defense was a little overrated last year. Against great offenses (Georgia and Ohio State), they looked bad. Play calling from Banks is good, players just seem slow to getting to the tackle and making plays.

 

[Pride85]

A lot of confusion with the secondary audibles on that drive. Ricky Gibson seemed to be confused about where he needed to shift on two or three plays. Boo looking a bit inconsistent as well, one good play then a lackadaisical one right after.

 

[OrangeSquid]

I have a Ismaleava jersey. It’s getting burned. Boys we got ourselves a QB!

Ship it to UCLA Athletic Dept.

 

[Madscientistvol]

This was never going to be a shutout, this is part of why tune up games are good. We got film to work on now. Just win and learn from your in game mistakes.

 

[mitzustu]

Moi update? Was it serious?

 

[Swiftybaby]

I may be the minority here but I’ve never been too crazy about Bank’s defense.

It’s always great till it ain’t

 

[theroyz71]

Their QB is pretty decent.

Yes he is.

 

[Doberman]

Boom

 

[martyvols]

BOOM! Way to answer baby!

 

[rocketskates]

Man that was a beautiful throw. Joey Football! Nico who?

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Hot dam!

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

NICO COULD NEVER

 

[Vol8188]

Perfect throw

 

[vavolfan6]

[Volnbeers]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

 

[tbh]
