How about some grades?

I saw Tuli on the sidelines in a jersey, no pads.backthepack said:Taki, McDuffie, Bain, Curne, Molden, KT, Gordon, and ZTF played well.
Did Tuli get hurt? It seems like he hardly played -
You were far too generous with your C- grade to the WR's. At the absolute very best, I would have given them a D, but more realistically, that was an F performance.
That aside, i'm more or less of the same mind when it comes to the rest of the grades. -
Tuli and Latu didn't suit up

I was hanging out with family and listened to most of the game on tunein. It sounded like Bynum had one bad drop too. I think it was the third down play before the botched punt-TD for osu.
A lot of first game jitter shit and iver substitution at RB were the problems I sensed with the offense. The 1-2 at running back should be McGrew and Davis. Newton is what I've always said he is. Pleasant is a big back that doeant run like a big back.
Offwnsive grades from mainly listening:
Game plan: B...I love I formation. There should have been a couple of longer shots down the field on play action.
OL: C-...seemed inconsistent as usual and the fucking penalties... I think the lack of down field passing was more due to fear of Morris handling pressure than him making unforced errors.
RB: B-...McGrew is a fucking stud. He should be the guy most of the time unless Davis is too good to keep in the bench. The other two guys are fine backups.
WR: D-...Fucking shitshow. They still can't catch and still aren't translating all those awesome measurables and recruiting stars into impressive play.
TE: INC...Did they play? Maybe they blocked some?
QB: B...The play calling was awful conservative against a ahitty defense that stacked the box against an offense featuring more 4.4 receivers over 6' than I can even remember all the names of. Maybe it's because Morris can't handle more? Whatever. He seemed to be making the throws he was asked to.
The offense has been shitty for a while now and the loser mentality is still hanging over it. Escaping last night's mess might be just the kick in the nuts that gets it going.
Or not. It might be interesting though. -

The OL was solid, especially given the experience we had out there. OSUs DL isn't scaring anyone.
TEs blocked pretty well, but didn't seem to be super involved in the passing game yet. Westover and Otton had a few eraser blocks that I saw.
RBs were:
McGrew A-
Pleasant B IMHO he looked like Lavon Coleman
Davis B could be higher but needed to see a bit more
Newton D+
WRs sucked. Part of it was the game plan, but the drops were inexcusable.
QB was a solid C. No mistakes, but no defense is going to be scared by what they saw. Morris looked like the ultimate game manager. That isn't a compliment, but I guess it's ok.
We need more explosive plays. I would trade a couple more 3 and outs for us taking more shots 15+ yards downfield. Teams are just going to stack the box against us, and our 2nd half ineptness was the result of that.
