Buckeyes suffer first loss of season in Ann Arbor I The Bobby Carpenter Show w/ Anthony Schlegel 

Hope to see Bobby and Schlegs back next season because you guys have the best show on Buckeye football hands down.

I really hate saying this but "Kyle McChord has no command presence on the field, he has no pocket presence, he doesn't have a strong arm, he can't run, he is oftentimes inaccurate, he makes horrible decisions. I think Ryan did all he could to bring that young man along but there's only so much Day can do. I knew we couldn't do it when during the Wisconsin game and with a 10-0 lead and first and 10 inside Wisconsin's 15 yard line, McChord rolls out and throws into triple coverage and ball is intercepted. Sorry folks but that's JV reserve football type of crap and won't make it against quality D1 programs.

It comes down to the QBs. JJ made plays with 80% completions and critical runs whereas Kyle threw 2 interceptions. That’s the game right there!

CAN WE GET SCHLAGH ON STAFF?!?! HE HAS THE FIRE HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!

Special Teams are NOT Special 😢ZERO creativity with play calls💯

Listen Ohio played their butts off. Michigan fan here. Hats off but Ryan should have kept running the ball. An to be honest Michigan played like a team. Ohio looked like a bunch of players.

Neither of these dudes brought up the fact that JJ McCarthy is a DOG and was happy to crack the bucknuts

Both teams are almost even except Michigan had the better quarterback.

You know Michigan is running it to kill the clock the last 7 minutes. Last years game got ohio scared to go all in on stopping the run, but that was the moment to do it during those last 7 minutes. When your 9 million dollar coach can’t beat our 1 million dollar interim coach.

1457 days! Cheers to another 365!

42:55 Schlegs with the rant of the year

Oh and lets talk about the golden boy Brian Hartline. Great recruiter without question. Where is development. Flemmings is the only wide receiver that can block, and what happen to the best wide receiver room in the country. What a joke. Egbuka dropping passes all year. Even MHJ dropping passes. And where is the separation? Go watch other teams in the country. They all have wideouts that get open. Also, can someone please tell me why our offense looks like it is playing in a phone booth? Whoever gets the ball, there are 2-4 defenders right there for the tackle. Again watch other teams, they get playmakers the ball in space and they make one guy miss and they got room to run. Where is this for our team. Where is development? Where is spreading the field? Where is the creative play calling? Just a joke.

I think a 53 yard fg in college is too far and I don’t think he kicked one over 50 all year

You guys are GREAT to listen to every week. Thanks.

McCord is not Ohio State material as a starter

What has changed since 2018? Urban was H.C. and Day was O.C. where he is most comfortable and Urban’s QBs were allowed to run to extend drives. Finally, McCord does not have top D1 instincts. His high school rating was because he had Marvin Harrison, Jr. to throw to.

I understand the reasoning but still don’t agree with the FG attempt at the end of the first half. We don’t have a kicker proven to hit from that distance. And the reason we were down to 37 seconds is because Ryan Day misused timeouts at the beginning of the half which he does all the time. This time it came back to bite him. Not sure why that’s not talked about more. It’s one thing to have to waste 1 timeout but he regularly wastes 2 early in the first half.

Always love the Buckeyes but are they the most underachieving program in the past 20 years? Too many good players to not win big games. If I were to dwell on some of the big games lost in recent memory, itd be hard to have hope that theyll win anything again soon. Still, at some point give Michigan credit for putting together good teams that play cohesive football and maximize potential. 12 team playoff can't come soon enough.

Michigan fan here. It was a great game that easily could have been won by the Buckeyes in the final seconds. Hat’s off to OSU football.

It never felt like Ohio was going to win.

Michigan fan here. Really good, thoughtful discussion from you guys. My take is that Day and staff seem a little shell shocked in their coaching of this game. Look at how the staff coached against Penn State vs. how they coached in this game, and there just seemed to be a reluctance to do anything bold and risky. Maybe they really believed the only reason OSU lost last year was five big plays. But that seems myopic to me and filled with a little hubris. Day just needs to be bolder in his approach next year.

Michigan fan here. I feel the difference at the end of the day was Michigan's running game. They only averaged 4 yards per carry, but they were doing that over and over for 6-7 minutes per drive.

You can also say there are 5 or 6 things Michigan could have done to open this game up. It goes BOTH WAYS.

Love the show. My opinion McCord is a C level QB on an A level team. As long as McCord is the starting QB ohio state will NEVER get to where they wanna go unless OSU has the best OL in the country and we know that's not even close to a fact with what we've seen from the OL.

Rumor has it, Ryan Day is still standing on third base.

4 plays. Came down to 4 plays; 1. McHonda throws to unopen Marvin, giving TCUN 1st and goal at 7. tOSU did make them go 4 downs to score. 2. Burke INT overturned 3. Missing FG granted 50+ yarder. 4. Styles over pursues in hole misses tackle on Corum to score

Michigan looked pretty fast and physical- need to reassess both the O and D lines

At the end of day...Day doesn't know how to recruit...Rob Moore (interception to end the game) is from Ohio... didn't get an offer from Ohio...JJ WAS an Ohio fanatic!!! Day passed on HIM for Kyle McCord😂 Donovan Edwards....was 50/50 between us n Ohio...Ohio gets commits from Henderson n Williams...THIS shit chest n Ohio playing checkers🤣😂

Also - You people that are blasting Kyle McCord - Grow up. If he won the game - you'd be singing his praises. Would love to see any of you put in that situation. How about placing it on piss-poor play-calling and game management - on both sides of the ball.

No Devin Brown Tebow package, No pop passes, No swing passes to Henderson, no crossing routes like 2019, No trick plays. NO MUTHERFREAKING JUICE.

I can't imagine mccord is any better next year without Marv. I imagine he'll actually be worse.. so maybe we let someone else take the reigns.

Tired of the x player fan boys for Ryan Day! 7 minutes off the clock is not acceptable. Under 2 minutes our 2 deep running into the end zone and not towards the los was mind blowing! Our coach is soft and it reflects in big games.

I’m done. No more college football. Tired watching of watching our quarterback give interceptions to the other team. Pitiful

Love you guys. ❤ ty.

Kyle McCord - Just another game! J.J McCarthy - This game is everything!!! Thats The Difference

The battle here is within Ryan day's mind.. he looks to the past sees the success as offensive coordinator and feels that he can still do that as head coach when obviously he cannot.. we need someone who can call the plays upstairs for the offense not a greedy, has been offensive coordinator. If you want to call offensive plays go back down to offensive coordinator and let another head coach step in. Someone who isn't stubborn and is flexible and can learn from their mistakes.

I'm proud that they never gave up. And I will not say anything negative about them. I've already heard enough from the so called fans and media. 2 greats teams. And the Buckeyes gave it there all!

Buckeyes, learn how to control the clock and thus control the game. Coaching, coaching, coaching.

THK U FOR ANOTHERSEASON OF COVERAGE . SEE U IN LATE DEC OR JAN : 3 losses in arow is too much to stomach.

McCord does not understand OSU v UM. Interception to start the game doomed the Bucks. Day also does not understand OSU v UM. HE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL COACH EXCEPT IN THE GAME.

Where's Ryan days creative plays? Too conservative

The sad truth is that people are coddling Kyle McCord. Next season is already doomed McCord will not have Marvin Harrison as a safety valve. This season was determined the minute Ryan Day lied about having a fair QB competition.

Good points, im a michigan fan you guys broke the game down fair to both teams.

1. Replace McHonda with duel threat QB with ACCURACY. Lincoln, Air or Devin. 2. Get 4-5 star O Lineman. 3. Get big heavy DT, agile aggressive DE and LB 4. Coaches play to Win not to lose.

VRABEL for head coach if Titans make change! If not, Hartline. Day is a great recruiter, and I hated the premature Day hate, BUT this.. final straw. Many things were wrong w this gm, and that's the point. We need a strong leader, who's not passive! Love the personality and content guys. 🍻🤜🤛 O-H-I-O 4Life!

It was there to be had. We did not finish with 30 seconds left. It reminded me of Clemson game int. When we were driving Fields was intercepted. Bam game over. I thought we had them on last drive. Good game. Go Bucks !!!!

For the future of our Buckeyes I think we need to miss the playoffs so Dsy really has to change some things instead of go to the playoffs & get bailed out & not do anything again because they can still beat anyone. OSUs toughness is a problem

Officials kept Ohio in the game by letting them hold Michigan’s DL all game. So add in 5 hold calls and UM rushes for another 100 yds and adds at least 7 more points.

I'd like to self report. Michigan pushed McCord into going to Ohio State so he could tank this game for us. Go ahead and suspend Harbaugh for the next 3 games. Maybe we can win a bowl game then.

Lots of ifs ands buts and maybes boys…haha. I LOVE it. 365 more of Buckeye baby tears 😭

Day loses to an Interim coach, let that sink in. The most important game in forever and Day still loses. Admit it he is simply James Franklin 2.0. I hope you look forward to more great running backs, Can't wait to see Jordan Marshall "Archbishop Moeller" baby carry the rock and a big shout out to Rod Moore out of Northmont High School!

The HARD reality: Ryan Day is too prideful and too stubborn to humble himself and accept it takes a dual-threat QB to win the Big 10, ...aka stubborn is as stubborn does!

Day needs to find an offensive coordinator. Hartline is not ready yet. Hire Philbin as a co offensive coordinator along with hartline.

The game was closer, OSU had a more disciplined defense, better. But if OSU couldn't beat Michigan with Stroud, how are they going to win with McCord?

OSU wins the stat line but, 2 interceptions killed us. Giving ttun a 7 yard scoring drive, you can't do that against the #3 ranked team that was the play that killed the Buckeyes.

Ryan Day is 26 more points away from hanging 100 on Michigan. Maybe by year 4 you will get there.

Knowles needs to get younger players in the game more frequently because now we are facing a rebuild with players that have little experience.

Pretty disappointed, but The Game showed flaws we have been seeing all year! Where is the Ryan Day fire we saw vs. Georgia? Need the Fire and intensity from coaching staff and the players. Get hyped! McCord inconsistency! Offensive line, pocket awareness, footwork, read the blitz, and Run! Again, Be aggressive! It’s not just another game, it’s The Game. This years offense just seemed like a compressed spring. We saw flashes but never saw it unleashed when it needed. Felt to conservative

Day was too conservative and out coached by Moore.

McCord really is Honda McCord!! 😊

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if the committee puts TTUN at 1 tonite.

Fact that we are 5-17 against ohio this century still sucks. Ohio??!!

I wish you guys worked on the staff with the defense, I feel it would bring them back to the silver bullet glory days.

Auburn rushing 2 guys was the dumbest thing I ever seen

Love yew boys 🤟 thanks for breaking it down go buckeyes

Totally agree on RD.... OSU has gotten "there" with his leadership and a play here or there OSU would have 2 more Nattys.

Hope we get better

Day has to realize one more thing. OSU v UM is the last game and the “voters” around the country will ALWAYS want to knock the Bucks down. that one loss is NEVER acceptable.

I almost feel sorry for the buckeyes - not really tho

But how good is OSU right now? Realistically they should have lost to Notre Dame. They got real lucky Notre Dame gave it away.

Always next year definitely in 12 team playoffs!

Most sharpest weapons in the team was never utilized effectively just like last year defeat. Team up north has better game plan.

Thank you for actually respecting Michigan and calling them by their actual name. Mr Carpenter.

OMG just watched that last McCord pick. Left Guard straight on his back chillen on the ground lol

All year long I've had to watch you general Bobby carpenter on my beloved Pat Mcafee show it's so nice to know that everyone on that show is against Michigan 😂😂 I can't wait to see your updated top 10 Go Blue😂

...and yes, the punt game was horrible!

It became clear early on that Ohio's defense couldn't stop Michigan.

It took Schlegs the entire show to say Bumpy. I was about to be disappointed. You guys are great!

Thats right! They wanted to change from Jim Harbaugh just 4 years ago.

Ryan Day is a good coach, he could be elite if he gave more play calling duties away. His plate is so full because his ego wont let him dictate duties to other staff. Fire Parker Fleming, hire Laurinaitis for LB coach (which frees up Knowles), and hire Shawn Lewis from Colorado and let him call the plays. Every head coach has issues letting go because of their ego and it literally cost us a natty, possible years. Fire Denis, fire Parker, hire James and Shawn and be a manager. He is overloaded and no creativity on offense. Look at Jimbo, same ego issue. Also Day didnt want to lsoe Marv so he named Kyle the starter, when most people knew Devin had the higher ceiling.

I guess Michigan did not need any sign stealing to beat Ohio this year. Ryan Day was out coached by a backup head coach. GO BLUE!💙💛

16:30 Bobby Carpenter paraphrasing the Great Lou Holtz and questioning this team's toughness.

The game comes down to passion. Football is a very emotional game. Mccarthy said before the game he used to love the buckeyes now he wants to kill them. McCord said before the game. We'll it's just another game. There is the difference.

Anyone else notice this game was suspiciously close? unlike last years game? But last years team had CJ Stroud who is now TORCHING THE NFL and almost beat Georgia! Damn stupid cheaters.

The Ryan Day era is nog going to miraculously get better. Buckeyes need a hard nosed tough minded new head coach . Find a way to get Mike Vrabel up here to begin a championship run and renewed stomping of Michigan. Day needs to go to NFL where he can better use his finesse philosophy

Love the show you guys are both awesome. Yes I am spoiled, I understand that. But man this is getting old. How does Ryan Day not see that McCord didn't get better all year. ALL YEAR. He is not the guy. And I have to agree with Zack Smith on this one, there are no dogs on Ryan Day led teams. Ryan Day better get with the program and if he doesn't fix the glaring issues that were there all year, then he has to go.

We don't have a qb boys its that simple ps we don't deserve to b in playoffs

Anyone saying OSU doesn't have dogs is totally clueless. They don't have a roster full of softies. That stuff is built within your culture because you prepare and practice that way. That comes from the top down. I said Day was soft when he was hired and that's who he is. He won't ever be that kinda guy, PERIOD!

Is Morotti job on the line? The bodies of the O and D lineman look a little pudgy compared to the lineman of Georgia, Alabama and even Michigan.

Go to transfer portal and hopefully we can upgrade the qb position.

There were too many mistakes for the buckeyes to overcome. They just kept mounting up. It always starts with the coaching. Whether it is in game management. YOU HAVE TO READ THE REST.Not able to make adjustments during the game on both sides of the ball. Bad quarterback play being inconsistent. The kicking game wasn’t good. Inside linebackers out of place which left the tight ends wide open to get first downs. Loosing some top recruits to other schools has to stop. Well meaning recruiting for a certain type of well behaved players is great. But not at the expense of loosing out on Alfa players that truly makes a game changing difference. It has to start with both o-line and d-line players. They have to be good players to begin with. Top recruits. We’ll see how the next two recruiting classes turn thins around. Buckeyes as of now has the 2nd ranked 2024 class. And up there close to the top in the 2025 class. Now we can loose all of those or most of those players if the buckeyes get rid of Day. They’ll flip or transfer to other teams. Then it will take years to even get back to where we are now. Even loosing to more than just Michigan. Greed is not your friend. Hate isn’t either. I’m not happy with how Day is doing against Michigan now, but I’m not going to be hateful and greedy knowing it can be worse without Day for a few years. You’re not going to get Meyer, Trussel to come back. Never going to get a top coach away from a team that they are already having success with. The answer is this. You fire Day who you gonna get that’s going to get the team to a better place in a short amount of time. YOUR NOT! So if you do fire him, AGAIN, the next few years are going to be crapper than now. AT LEAST!

that was a horrible call that put the QB in a position to fail, we should have run the ball, deep in our territory. Another thing, if you watch the film, the db jumped the route and beat our 5 star receiver TO THE BALL unaccpetable. This was the difference in a win vs a loss

Them refs killed us and whoever did the instant replays sucked

Texas losing ain’t that far fetched.. there aren’t as good in the 2nd half of the season

Truthfully, if you go back and listen to what you said in all this.. MOst all of it pointed out to one very important thing.. EXPERIENCE! Think of all the Michigan players who could have been gone but came back for this game again. The experience level on Michigans side was huge compared to Ohio State overall. That alone was the real difference. I credit the kids of Michigan who wanted more. Not just another opportunity to win THE GAME, but to try and win a Natty, Not many kids stick together these days to do such things. Hell most skip out on their team even come bowl game time. They have a culture and a group of kids that simply are just more committed to THE GAME!

when a company loses money three years in a row to its top competitor! What happens, heads will roll from the top down and the owners will take a hard look at the overall business and come up with a new strategy.

I really only saw one major issue.... McCord isn't CJ Stroud.... but you're not going to have a #2 pick in the draft @ QB every year...

😅I wonder if there is any time in practice for wide receivers to be coached in defense>. Marvin was close to a possible break up of both Ints.

The lbs were so awful

Ryan Day has a special relationship with Kyle McCord and his family. According to the people around the program and kyle will be our QB again next year. We need to learn to accept the coaches decisions. He is the coach. Remember that.
