For all of you coaches out there that have no idea how to respect your apponent and manage the score.  I'm sure Frank would be able to offer you some insight on how to run your offense without putting unnecessary points on the board.     Way to respect the game O$U.....  
Went back and looked at the O$U game again.....Only 2 QB's played. At least OHIO played 3 in our win. Love how folks on this board are in support of O$U. Probably the same people we see walking around OUr campus wearing Buckeye T-shirts.

Did our 6th string tailback get in the game?

I'm a Bobcat fan.  I'm a season ticket holder for 4 sports here.  I went to school here, I live here, I work here.  What I think is sad is the amount of resentment held for another school solely because they are superior in most major sports over us.  I think it's sad that we cry about wanting respect but we don't earn it on the field when we have gone to Columbus.  I think it's sad that we champion ourselves on being close to their level yet bash them for doing the same things we do on the same weekend.  We'll always be treated like the annoying little brother as long as we act like the annoying little brother.  Tackling a mascot from behind is not how you get respect.  You get respect from winning.  Winning shuts everyone up.  Winning gets you noticed.  They figured that out at Boise St, maybe someday we will, too.

I agree with Giacmo. I'm of the belief if you don't want the other team to run up the score, stop them or don't schedule the game.  In the case of this game, just look at the line score.  Ohio state scored 34 in the first, 21 in the second, 14 in the third and 7 in the fourth quarter. They got up big and coasted.  All 32 plays they ran in the second half were running plays, including the 4th down they went for instead of kicking a FG. If they had run up the score, I think it would have been a lot more than 76.  


Also, I saw on Sports Center this game accounted for ~10% of FAMU's annual athletic budget. How many schools could FAMU play that would pay them close to $1 million for a game?
  All the plays in the second half were not run plays.     You may want to check that again. 


I guess what I'm having trouble understanding on this board is that some of the posters are saying that it's FAMU's tough luck that they got beat that bad and should learn how to play better so that it does not happen again, while others are saying this is FAMU's way to fund their athletic budget.  Then there are those that say it's both.

My reply to that is:
1. There is not one lesson a player or coach from FAMU could learn from being beat that bad.   Clearly they don't have the calibar of players that are on the Buckeys.  If they did then I would bet they would be playing for someone other than FAMU.   
2. I would agree that FAMU plays this kind of game for the funds.   However, it still does not give the Buckeyes the RIGHT to run up the score.     That's like a boss telling his workers it's ok to humiliate them because he's paying them a salary.

We don't have a 6th string QB.  I believe we only have 3 and the 3rd is a walk on.  

There is no one on here crying about the way we were treated when we went to Columbus and got waxed.   This thread has nothing to do with us.   In fact I don't recall anyone getting too upset  about it even when it happened.  The only comments I heard were about how poorly we played and we should have showed better. 
 
Again, you are failing to understand the purpose of this topic.   See title.   It's about the lack of respect for the game.  Has nothing to do with one team being superior to another or that the small school wants to be viewed on the same level as the big school.  

Tying to explain respect (especially to delusional people) and how it's a declining characteristic in today's society and seeing some of the comments in protest is proof that respect is no longer a desired attribute.

They had their 6th string tailback in the game most of the 2nd half and a QB named Cardale Jones that I have never heard of.  Exactly what more are they supposed to do?  Take 3 knees and punt?  Is that supposed to go over better with the opponent?  The only reason Florida A&M was on their schedule was because Vanderbilt backed out of their scheduled game and they had to scramble to fill the empty slot in the schedule.  I know there's a lot of anti-OSU mentality here, and I understand that, but sometimes you need to do more than just look at a final score and assume there was no sportsmanship involved.
How many passes did they throw after they were up by 35??  I can promise you that they could have controlled the score had they not been worried about losing a spot in the rankings.   

Tried to kid yourself all you want.  Maybe it will make you feel better.   


So let me just get this right: no pass attempts when the game is in hand.  Like when Vick was brought in during the 4th quarter of a game well in hand on Saturday?  Because of course we had to keep Tyler in the game through three quarters even though Austin Peay was out of it.  Yet Vick throws several pass attempts in the 4th quarter of a blowout.  But that's OK. 

"Kid yourself all you want." Wise words.  It's typical from someone who glorifies a Hocking Tech student tackling the OSU mascot, though.
Big difference between 70-0 vs 38-0.    Vick is our Back up and yes, backups need to get a bit of experience.  4th, 5th, 6th striing (as some posters mentioned) do not need the experience.   I don't recall J.D. Sprauges (sp) throwing the ball.  


So you're saying the 4th, 5th, and 6th string guys should not enter the game.  So the 1st and 2nd stringers should stay in, and somehow stop running up the score, because that's the only way to win big with sportsmanship.  Make up your mind man, you can't have it both ways.  And the big difference between 70-0 and 38-0, I'm sorry to say, is the depth of talent beyond the 2nd string in Columbus vs here.  Put a guy in the game who never sees the field and somehow you expect them to not try, to not score when they see the end zone, to take a knee and not run for 20 yards...did you ever play any form of organized athletics? 

They got up big, they subbed heavily, they kept the ball on the ground...what more are they supposed to do?  Get some players to trade jerseys and line up for FAMU in the 2nd half?


Who said that a 4th, 5th, 6th string should not get in the game?  No one  Please  Read my post  again.     
Who said that a player should not attempt to score when in the game?  No one,  Please read my post again.
I'm talking about coaches here not players.   Again, Please Read MY Posts before providing your answers...

Note:  I looked on the play by play from that game and could not see where a 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th string QB played.    I only saw the new #1 and #2. (minus Miller of course).

  Yea, and 3 is all we had on our roster if I'm not mistaken.  At least 3 is the number that would have kept us from burning a redshirt.

Ohio state only has 2 QBs that are seniors, one was hurt one starts and the second QB that played was a freshman, I believe the rest are all red shirting.

I didn't realize being an Ohio fan and following Ohio State was mutually exclusive.  I watch both, but you better believe when we were in the Shoe a few years ago I was decked out in Green.  I'm sure a few people on here can vouge I bleed green.

But  in this case, I dont see how running the ball 32 straight times in the second half is running up the score.  If it was that bad for FAMU, maybe their coaches should have pulled them off the field or maybe they shouldnt have agreed to play.

I guess where we differ if I don't see running the ball over and over as running up the score.  If they had been throwin deep or running flea flickers, I'd agree.  Should they have just punted on first down?  As long as FAMU continued to play what else were they supposed to do.

I don’t hate Ohio State for running up the score on hapless FAMU. Not when I have so many other reasons to hate them. For starters, their fan base is the most boorish and entitled I've ever encountered. Ever go to the Horseshoe as an opposing fan? I've traveled a lot as an opposing fan, and Ohio State is the worst place I’ve visited.  I hate that we have eight FBS programs in the state, and seven don’t matter to people born and raised on Bucknut propaganda. I hate that I have to hear “Hang On Sloopy” at goddamned Indians games. I hate that people assume I like a school I loathe. I hate seeing scarlet and gray in Athens. I hate when fellow alumni spend time, money and attention on Bucknut garbage and don’t see the conflict and harm it does to our programs. I hate Ohio State for all the historic and current slights against our school (Athens State renaming attempt, appropriation of “OHIO” through script Ohio and numerous other ways, Ohio lawsuit, etc.).

Last but not least, I hate the knee-jerk Bucknut reaction to all that well-deserved contempt: “You just hate us because we’re better.”

I think we can all agree though, that if Ohio State doesn't schedule these cupcake teams like the Cleveland Browns or Florida A&M, than they won't get scrutinized for running up the score. I wouldn't mind seeing them run up the score on Alabama or Oregon.  But I also wouldn't mind seeing them get destroyed by Bama or Oregon either.

We schedule our own level of cupcakes, so not sure where we have room to speak.

Our non-conference schedule (comparatively speaking and like I said before) is much more difficult than Ohio States. You HAVE to agree with that. Where are their top 10 games being schedule? Top 25 games? I already hate watching the bucknuts on TV. At least let me root for a team that has a chance against them. OHIO does not have as easy a schedule as Ohio State's.

Louisville being ranked in the top #25 is sheer coincidence, that game was scheduled way before Louisville got on this current run.  That game is also not much of a money game.  OSU schedule is not a good schedule, however ours is absolutely nothing to write home about either.  Nor is our record against teams with winning records.

I don't care at all what tOSU does or does not do.  The best thing about Saturday afternoons in the fall when tOSU is playing and Ohio is not playing is that golf courses are not busy.

I don’t hate Ohio State for running up the score on hapless FAMU. Not when I have so many other reasons to hate them. For starters, their fan base is the most boorish and entitled I've ever encountered. Ever go to the Horseshoe as an opposing fan? I've traveled a lot as an opposing fan, and Ohio State is the worst place I’ve visited.  I hate that we have eight FBS programs in the state, and seven don’t matter to people born and raised on Bucknut propaganda. I hate that I have to hear “Hang On Sloopy” at goddamned Indians games. I hate that people assume I like a school I loathe. I hate seeing scarlet and gray in Athens. I hate when fellow alumni spend time, money and attention on Bucknut garbage and don’t see the conflict and harm it does to our programs. I hate Ohio State for all the historic and current slights against our school (Athens State renaming attempt, appropriation of “OHIO” through script Ohio and numerous other ways, Ohio lawsuit, etc.).

Last but not least, I hate the knee-jerk Bucknut reaction to all that well-deserved contempt: “You just hate us because we’re better.”



This. There are a million reasons to hate osu and lazy bucknut fans always revert to "you just hate us because we're better." NO I DON'T. I hate you because your school is a football factory that is morally corrupt and ridiculously arrogant. I hate you because you disrespected us first and continue to do so. I hate you because everyone in the state of Ohio thinks that I'm a traitor for not being a fan, even though none of them went there. I hate you for a million other reasons, and none of them are jealousy. 

 

The best thing about not living in Ohio anymore is that I don't have to hear about osu every day. Penn State does not dominate the entire Commonwealth of PA the way osu does Ohio.

Disliking them is one thing, but at least be rational to your complaints, and the whining about the score from Saturday's game and the situations that led to the lopsided score is simply being petty.

For all of you coaches out there that have no idea how to respect your apponent and manage the score.  I'm sure Frank would be able to offer you some insight on how to run your offense without putting unnecessary points on the board.     Way to respect the game O$U.....  
Went back and looked at the O$U game again.....Only 2 QB's played. At least OHIO played 3 in our win. Love how folks on this board are in support of O$U. Probably the same people we see walking around OUr campus wearing Buckeye T-shirts. 


My reply to that is:
1. There is not one lesson a player or coach from FAMU could learn from being beat that bad.   Clearly they don't have the calibar of players that are on the Buckeys.  If they did then I would bet they would be playing for someone other than FAMU.   
2. I would agree that FAMU plays this kind of game for the funds.   However, it still does not give the Buckeyes the RIGHT to run up the score.     That's like a boss telling his workers it's ok to humiliate them because he's paying them a salary.

Ohio state only has 2 QBs that are seniors, one was hurt one starts and the second QB that played was a freshman, I believe the rest are all red shirting.

I didn't realize being an Ohio fan and following Ohio State was mutually exclusive.  I watch both, but you better believe when we were in the Shoe a few years ago I was decked out in Green.  I'm sure a few people on here can vouge I bleed green.

But  in this case, I dont see how running the ball 32 straight times in the second half is running up the score.  If it was that bad for FAMU, maybe their coaches should have pulled them off the field or maybe they shouldnt have agreed to play.

I guess where we differ if I don't see running the ball over and over as running up the score.  If they had been throwin deep or running flea flickers, I'd agree.  Should they have just punted on first down?  As long as FAMU continued to play what else were they supposed to do.
 
The reply about 2 QB's was in reference to someone who said they used 6 QB's.  Thats all.  

I concede.   Scoring 72 Points is not running up the score.

I agree with Giacmo. I'm of the belief if you don't want the other team to run up the score, stop them or don't schedule the game.  In the case of this game, just look at the line score.  Ohio state scored 34 in the first, 21 in the second, 14 in the third and 7 in the fourth quarter. They got up big and coasted.  All 32 plays they ran in the second half were running plays, including the 4th down they went for instead of kicking a FG. If they had run up the score, I think it would have been a lot more than 76.  


Also, I saw on Sports Center this game accounted for ~10% of FAMU's annual athletic budget. How many schools could FAMU play that would pay them close to $1 million for a game?
  All the plays in the second half were not run plays.     You may want to check that again.

So the question is to those who are convinced this is poor sportsmanship and running up the score, please tell me what the coaches and players should have done?  And you do realize several of you cannot even get the score correct, the game ended 76-0
