On the latest edition of The Game 365, Seth Shaner and Brian Inglis try (unsuccessfully) to move on from the Texas loss. They preview what to expect against Kent State, talk about Michigan's win over…

what i've been seeing and like a lot of buckeyes chatting with my friends and people you encounter during the day is there's almost uniformity in the idea about why do the adults in the room insist on losing the same way and it's just the idea of you've lost three of four now and you just can't score touchdowns against real teams especially in second halves and i've heard a lot of people actually contrast that fairly with kurt cignetti in indiana when it just seems like their idea is when there's blood in the water you just you outscore your opponent to the point where they cannot come back.
And I think a lot of people in Columbus with the offensive players that Ohio state has, and the fact that their head coach made his bones as a offensive quote unquote genius and play caller, people don't understand why they can't just put the accelerator down and bury teams when they have them down.
Number one, you could say, hey, even as a top five program each year, you're going to come up against teams that are as good or have maybe something that can exploit what you lack.
It's just a matter of If they would have lost a game where it kind of – just unfolded like a heavyweight bout, like back and forth, haymakers thrown and you know, whoever had the ball last was going to win.
And that's what reminds me as much as we love Jim Trestle here and, ohio it reminds me of his last four or five years of it was the same formula.
He, he had a loss here there that were almost unexplainable, but that's where it starting to feel almost.
It's, it's like sometimes it's bad to become comfortable, right? Like you don't want to become comfortable.
I would say maybe even our Meyer became comfortable at times with the way he did things.
But what I would say is this isn't so much comfortable, I wouldn't think, as it is just kind of doomed to repeat itself.
I've heard a lot of – even from you, actually, in our conversations, there's a lot of questioning of Julian's saying, and that's somewhat fair.
