we scored 21 points in the first half and we come out and try to run it up the middle all second half... embarassing..
November 24th, 2012 at 2:51 PM ^
I agree with this for the first time. This is the worst called game I've ever seen. I've never been so frustrated.
November 24th, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
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.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:23 PM ^
And taking devin out every other play kills his momentum. by the time Borges figured it out, devin had to come in cold to win the game and couldn't.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:26 PM ^
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 ^
Denard + Devin ? Yes please.
Denard instead of Devin? Never again.
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 ^
He has to go. He chokes in every big game.
November 24th, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
great stop defense
November 24th, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
MODS DELETE ASAP
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 ^
My FIL keeps asking me why they stopped calling the plays that worked in the first half.
At first I thought it was a stupid question, but it isn't.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
I'm really butthurt right now.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Mattison is bailing Borges fat ass out.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Just the players and the execution
November 24th, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
He sucks
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 ^
Concur. Hope you're not negged for this. He makes Roushar look like Nostradamus mixed with Jesus.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
This will likely be deleted, but regardless:
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 ^
Do you want to applaud Borges play calling in the second half?
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 ^
But that is the point. The interior of our line was not the strength, but on third and short 3 times, they ran right the middle. Right to our weakness and right into their strength....... That is good coaching?
November 24th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
Our interior OL does suck! So maybe not run it up the middle with your 5''6" 165 lb RB????!!!!!
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 ^
This is the first time im happy we are replacing over half the o-line. They o line was beyond terrible and the only thing worse was the playcalling
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 ^
If Borges can just adjust and take us down the field with goo play calls. I will never criticize another play call as long as he is calling plays.
November 24th, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
and let him get the record. Fuck this W!
November 24th, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
Fumble the ball?
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 ^
Called Indiana so he could call plays for them to lose to Purdue today. Hail hail to ol Purdue
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 ^
Throw that pass?
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 ^
Jerkoff
November 24th, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
I flamed... I meant dick face,
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.
