Right. Scoring 66 on Wagner didn’t bother a single person on this site.
Ryan day made a cheap move
- Thread starter Anteid
- Start date
Ohio State didn't even score as a result of that play and some people are going on and on about how horrible it was.
Did we fake punt against Wagner? Also we pay to play them. It's pretty much a scrimmage/tune up game as there are no preseason games allowed in cfb. At no point did we rub the victory in their faces.
I am a PSU fan, but I agree with you 100%. I actually came over here to see why he was ejected. I have seen late hits that were far worse than that get 15 yards and that's it. There is no way a player from Ohio State gets ejected for that hit on a Rutgers player. The punter decided to put himself in harms way and he got what was coming to him.
Yea …. me and about 100 others pushed back at him. You started the attack by telling me “ not to get my panties in a bunch”. Now if we’re going to be talking about panties … better look in that mirror within your bedroom. I don’t give a shat where this kid’s head was at and besides he’s no longer a kid if I’m not mistaken. I’m not comparing what some rugby clown coach says. Oh and I do love Rugby. See skillet you are no different than you were back in the days of the pandemics . You either disapprove of the actions of this player from OSU or you don’t . Stop the BS about “ well I said this but then I said that.” Remember you began the name calling distortion towards me. You may be educated , intelligent and a nice guy to those who share your same thought process. But you can’t admit what you said was just your subtle attempt to give you license to criticize my take on that play. Enjoy your day .
A lot of biased responses above. So many of our own fans hate RU and probably themselves so throw those out. Others are being pro RU so here is my objective response since the game was over and we all know it:
1. Not a cheap move by Day
2. Punter made a good decision though didn’t need to do it because the game was over and he knew it.
3. If Punter didn’t want to get hit he could have stopped running full speed as soon as he got the 1st down. He got what he deserved there.
4. At full speed I thought that was a late hit but after seeing photos above it was a marginal late hit. Our guy turned his body and the Punter did not.
5. The Punter got what he deserved there.
6. if officials reviewed that’s a simple 15 yard penalty at most.
7. Coaches blew off steam no big deal.

One more time - it wasn't a FAKE PUNT. The punter was sent in to punt it and took off on his own. Jesus !
This is the same as people who complain about about a backup RB breaking a run and scoring late in a game when they are already up big. Kid is a kid and saw an opportunity to make a play, he absolutely should make that play.
Of all the things for Rutgers fan's to complain about this is just sad. Maybe you should be more concerned with not having a QB, or the opposing RB gaining more yards than you ENTIRE team? Did Ohio State even score off this "fake" punt? This kind of bitching is why the rest of the B1G looks down at RU.

Agree with all, but need to add - Day yapping to our players was out of line. It did nothing but escalate the issue. You got a problem? Yell at the Ref or yell at the RU coaches. TBH - I thought he was going to apologize for that, not the stupid punter move.
No the two scenarios are completely different. This is more liken to a trick play or on sides kick. You don't see coaches slinging it all over the field up 49-10 late in the 4th. That's because this isn't Xbox football where you're trying to rub it in to your buddy on the couch. Crocidile Dundee was wrong and Day knew it, which is why he apologized to Schiano. A lot of times I wonder if fans actually understand what they're watching and this is one of those times.
Fake punt, flea flicker, reverse or whatever they do to keep possession doesn’t matter. Down doesn’t matter. Score doesn’t matter. Clock doesn’t matter. Nothing sacred about 4th down. Play to the end.
The defense screwed up and OSU took advantage.
And don’t forget, cupcake, blowout games like Saturday matter for their national brand, polls, and recruiting. We aren’t their competition. Alabama is. Georgia is. Clemson is.
Suggesting the Wagner game is different because we paid them for the beat down is the most ridiculous argument you could attempt since that has nothing at all to do with sportsmanship.
Y’all just want their pity. Lame. How about instead of pity you expect better from our own coaches. We pay our guy 4 mil a year and get mad at the other guy for embarrassing us ?

Lol thanks for proving my point that you don't post anything of value by posting something with no value.
That's not necessarily why Schiano ran over there. That's a d bag post. On the other hand, we could use the vagisil for some of our posters.
brg…true, not certain. But I think it was. The embarrassment was too much to handle. Lost his cool. Sideline scraps happen often and I’ve never seen a coach do that.
Who knows? We have message board lip readers telling us what was said and, as always on the internet, sure they're right. I won't claim to know so I won't hammer him for it. But we know why some posters here are upset.
This thread is chock full of internet testosterone. 
Watch your blood pressures, guys. It's just a game and you're not actually playing in it.

Yes I know. Korsak doesn't run for a first down against Wagner in this same situation. He just wouldn't do that. We also had all our backups in. We had a 160 lb player in at RB. In no way did we rub it in their face.
The punter got what he deserved.
Yes it was a fake punt. Maybe the coach didn’t call it but it’s a fake punt. Football 101.
I started nothing with you. Nada. Read the thread. I posted saying maybe the kid was channeling his rugby/Aussie rules background and didn't realize that his move would be considered bad form in gridiron. Didn't address you in any way. Is your ego really that divorced from reality that you think everyone is commenting on what you say?
And then you attacked me with: "Total nonsense from you on the Aussie and excusing it as something they do. Stick to what you claim to know...."
Once again, if you can't take it, stay out of the discussion. Simple as.
You know, at the outset, I figured it was a call from the sidelines as you gotta figure Day runs a pretty tight ship. But the Aussie punter is a big kid and what looks like a very good athlete and was running right as part of his punt and then saw nothing but green and took off.
Reminded me of doing something somewhat similar to a QB in high school (shortly after the Earth cooled when I was playing). I had run all the way across the field chasing this jerk and he throws the ball and runs out of bounds at the last second. And my thought process was pretty much along the lines of "Screw it, I'm hittin' him." Not proud of it in retrospect, but ....
