The amount of vitriol and blame directed toward him from the OSU fanbase is moronic,disturbing, and par for the course. People try to say "durr that happened here with Navarre," but it doesn't begin to approach what you'll find on OSU forums. There were multiple threads with veiled threats, wishes of death and injury, and people just plain saying that they hate him. Not just isolated posters, but the collective, including the blog writers. There were also several threads ripping Braxton Miller for being soft, because he got injured, including one popular one titled "Braxton was a bitch in high school, and always will be." I hope Brian is all over this on TWIS.

Why is Busermann getting all this crap. He was the only one that could do anything against MSU, the momentum was swinging to Neb before Miller got hurt, and the D should have been able to hold a freakin' 21 point lead, no matter the QB.

The QB is the face of a team and always gets more credit and more blame than the rest of the team.

That said, our OC has to take some crap for apparently abandoning the run with a lead and the clock as a factor. Our HC didn't use his timeouts to stop the momentum/bleeding. We have rotating captains this season, meaning we have effectively no on the field leaders. Not that I'm making excuses. I'm just agreeing that Bauserman is getting a lot of crap. He deserves some of it though, because this chart is hauntingly accurate.

The biggest mistake for OSU was to even try to throw the ball more than two or three times once Miller went out. They were running the ball well and they had a big lead. This is a game where Tresselball would have been a great idea.

I can remember when Pryor was still at OSU and opposing fans would comment that OSU was screwed if Pryor ever got injured; we were assured by Buckeye fans that Bauserman was a very good backup option if needed. Oddly, I don't hear them saying that anymore...

Does OSU have only two scholarship QBs?  I can't believe all they've got is Miller and Bauserman.  Did they not recruit anyone in between Pryor and Miller?
