This loss vs. Wisconsin is on Langsdorf...

Play calling was bad in OT. Thought we should have gotten the ball to Stanley around the first down marker, not the endzone. The loss is not entirely on Langs, but it is weird that when the defense has a good game the offense doesn't carry its weight. Wiscy's defense is better then OSU's but I expect the offense to improve this week because we need to be consistent on O.

You do realize when Morgan gets the ball is (once again) on the QB and how he executes the play. Not the guy who called the play. That is the funny part us that while Langs isn't perfect, no play caller is, but 99% of what people on here bash him for is TA's lack of vision and unwillingness to just get first downs, he wants to make the big play, every play. Which is an admirable trait, but it doesn't work most times. If TA could have learned some patience, then the same people who are bashing Langs for his "play calling" would be giving him credit for calling a great drive. It's hard to sustain a drive when you have a QB that is only thinking end zone in OT, same thing happened last year in Miami.

 
I still think Morgan ran a bad finish to his route on that last play. If he tracks the ball, he at least draws pass interference, if not makes the catch against the smaller defender.

The game is a hard one. Both teams are on scholarship. I agree with the poster above who notes that no single player can ever be responsible for a win or loss.
