Particularly when it comes the offensive line play.
That was the first time they've gone up against a line comparable to what the Buckeyes can offer, and they got absolutely mauled for about 2 1/2 full quarters of football. And, frankly, their poor play did seem like it started to get to Rourke. Sarratt let him down a couple times, but he was also fairly erratic for most of the last 40 minutes or so. The complete miss on the wide-open swing pass to Ellison (on the play where we got called for holding, but still) with no pressure and no one near him, in particular, raised a few red flags.
