If it's panic button time, it's time to develop this talented freshman class.  My starting five would be:

Key

McNeil

Sensabaugh

Gayle

Thornton

I'd rotate Okpara with Key and have a sub-rotation of some type with Brown, Holden, and Sueing--probably in that order off the bench.

Sueing is a slightly below-average to average wing, that is all--he shouldn't be bringing the ball up the floor or launching 3's as much as he does--that isn't his game.

That accurately describes this team. No consistent scorers except Sensabaugh, sloppy play, and a lot of standing around instead of rebounding--we must be one of the worst teams in D1 on 50-50 balls. Free throw shooting is poor, and shooting overall is consistently lacking...ugh...

LOL...got that same feeling watching him--felt like a bunch of repeated cliches.

Agreed--I thought the same thing--Holtman seemed confused and unsure what to do at times.

Some of that could have been for that atrocious foul call that cost the Buckeyes the game (potentially).

With the live look inside the huddles last night, I noticed that Holtman seemed unsure of what to do at times--maybe it is his demeanor--but I thought it seemed rather curious at times, particularly as the second half unfolded.

DCharles--this might come as a surprise to you, but the vast, overwhelming majority of Americans are not like you are suggesting they are.

DCharles--Seriously though, can we grow up and stop accusing people of "hate" just because they disagree with someone??

Chase, sometimes your humor doesn't make Sensatall.

Forty scores and seven weeks ago...

Truth right here--if you are a multi-millionaire and feel "dehumanized" by a tweet--you need therapy.

Agreed--however, many are looking for a reason to be offended at something today, unfortunately.

Super impressed with the Buckeye's defense thus far in the first half.

Doubtful the CFP Title game could live up to the Peach Bowl--but that doesn't mean TCU won't make it interesting or even pull off the upset. 

Exactly--Duke's has made mayo a conversation, which is what they wanted to accomplish.

...and Cheez-Its are easy to love :)

We will be pleasantly surprised by the Buckeyes' effort and ability to score.  Someone for the good guys will step up and deliver a surprise performance, along with significant contributions from our must-play-well players.  

Ohio State 41

Georgia 38

I would also add that if we're to win--we must create some turnovers and perhaps something special on special teams,,, punt block, k/o return, or punt return for a TD.

I remember many runs by Cardale, where he trucked defenders left and right.

Agree 100% Knarcisi -- This kid passes on having his college paid to be a Buckeye and compete for playing time.  Just the kind of 'fire in the belly' we want from players.

But in reality, what is he supposed to say? They are in unprecedented territory here with a CFP birth and perhaps a chance to play Michigan again in a few weeks--should they continue to dwell on the results of the last Saturday in November?

Amen to this.  It looked like the refs were calling little touch fouls on Ohio State while NC appeared to hammer our guys on their shots and was seldom called.

Thanks for posting this link--the part that made me laugh out loud from the guy who was Brutus:

"Says Stazen: "All I can picture is this guy's (Bobcat mascot) dorm room looking like Ray Finkle's bedroom wall in 'Ace Ventura,' with diagrams everywhere of his master plot and pictures everywhere with Brutus with devil horns."
