  Watching this game I’m thinking tOSU’s offense looks just as bad as ours. Not sure what string the QB is that they’re playing but he doesn’t look much different than Barnes.
  
  Starting to feel a little better about my Utes.

  Was thinking the same. I think Devin Brown was the backup and he went down. So it’s 3rd string QB in.
  
  Kind of funny and certainly familiar watching Missouri stack the box knowing tOSU is going to run it and not have much of a passing threat.

  What!?!? A team on their third/fourth string QB struggles!?!?

    Exactly. The Cotton Bowl shows us what happens to a top 10 team than goes deep into the QB room for a starter and sends a couple of players to the NFL draft before the bowl game. Imagine what Ohio State looks like if you add Utah level injuries.
    
    Missouri had an awesome WR, Luther Burden III. I wondered if he could be any relation to Luther “Ticky” Burden who was a very good shooting guard for Utah back in the 70s?

      Another example of how all the “Fire Ludwig”people are nuts. Dude should get a raise after last year.

      Florida State also struggles just going 1 notch down the QB picking order. Complement it with a couple of other missing pieces on the team and a top 10 team looks like outside the top 40. Many don’t understand how hard it is to loose several key players and maintain expected outcomes.

    Except that BB wasn’t our 3rd/4th string, he was our 1st string…

      Exactly. tOSU had offensive problems with the 2nd string QB who got injured in the second quarter and then the 3rd string freshman with zero experience. Barnes played in and started a majority of our games this year. Our offense looked just as pathetic in the bowl game as it did against Florida in game 1.

        You guys are seeing the light. If healthy, Rose wasn’t going to be QB2. Barnes was Whit’s QB2 all along, Whit’s contingency plan for Rising.
        
        Turns out Whit overestimated Barnes’ ability and potential. And by no means did Whit and Lud make QB lemonade out of an unfair and uncontrollable set of lemons. They made the lemons.

  With that Rose Bowl that set records for offense to now with each in their bowl games with a combined 10 points.
  
  LOL.
