we scored 21 points in the first half and we come out and try to run it up the middle all second half... embarassing..

I've defended Borges in the other games where people were ranting about this, but second half play-calling has been atrocious. Not an execution issue, just predictable and asking offence to do things they just aren't built to do.

It was obvious that his timing and rythm were off in the final drive.
November 24th, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
Not using Denard and Devin at the same time is just baffling.
November 24th, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 2:55 PM ^
Seriously, what was the point of using those plays last week, if you're not going to use them vs OSU?
November 24th, 2012 at 2:57 PM ^
everytime he come in on 2nd and short we dont do anything .....Keep him out
November 24th, 2012 at 2:58 PM ^
Game over
November 24th, 2012 at 2:58 PM ^
This half of football is literally the worst called half of offense I can remember. Maybe overreaction in the moment, but seriously, this is just terrible terrible terrible. And the play calling was great in the first half! Why change everything?!
November 24th, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
great stop defense
November 24th, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:14 PM ^
This is exactly the time for thread like this.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Thank God for Mattison and the D. No way should we only be down 5.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Even my 87-year old FIL is shaking his head at our bizarre insistence on running up the middle without even the hint of any success.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:08 PM ^
At first I thought it was a stupid question, but it isn't.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Just the players and the execution
November 24th, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:37 PM ^
He sucks. I've never said that before, always defended him. He sucks. I want someone new. Don't care anymore. Over-reaction? Maybe. Don't care. Fire Borges.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
WTF SECONDHALF BORGES?
November 24th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
The game is not over. A series of off-color words apply to you and everybody else upvoting this trash.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:07 PM ^
Just because it works doesn't mean that you should reward stupidity.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:18 PM ^
I wanted to see all of Borges's play-calling in the 2nd half before I decided whether or not I could do his job better than he can.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
The interior O-line is god awful. I don't want to defend Borges but when you backs have negative rushing yards, it isn't totally your fault as the offensive coordinator
November 24th, 2012 at 3:17 PM ^
No some blame goes to Fred Jackson too.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:23 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:31 PM ^
Everybody on this blog knew before the game that running up the middle wouldnt work. So it has to be assumed that the OC should also know this fact.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:33 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:33 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:44 PM ^
Seems like it may be the second time.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:08 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
and let him get the record. Fuck this W!
November 24th, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:12 PM ^
did borges move from what was working in the first half? Yes
November 24th, 2012 at 3:13 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
Well then lets bring Rich Rod back. He never fumbled the ball either.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:11 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:13 PM ^
shut up, he calls a run up the middle every fucking time
November 24th, 2012 at 3:14 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
November 24th, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
No. But he doesn't run or throw for TD's either. Stop finding excuses for him. He sucks. This season he got lucky he had Denard and Devin. Look at our 3 QB's. Not one can throw. Look at our RB's. Not one can run effective. Play calling, I don't wanna go there. I rest my case. He's just an average OC.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:13 PM ^
No, but Borges does have Devin and Denard, and the playbook in Backyard Football would work would those two on the field at the same time...
November 24th, 2012 at 3:13 PM ^
really limits the playcalling when you can't run between the tackles or have the QB pass from the pocket.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:16 PM ^
Running play after play into the heart of your offensive weakness is poor play calling. And dreaming up an offense with Denard and Devin on the field at the same time, using it heavily against Iowa to great success, and then not using it vs Ohio State is just asinine.
