Ok, I wasn't blown away by his kick return in the all-american game, but this was extraordinary, showing every skill a receiver needs at 10 out of 10. He will be special, and should be in the starting rotation from the jump.

This. The old regime leaves a parting gift they won't be around to enforce. Each new regime can do whatever they want to do themselves, so it's still a bit early, although could subject to change every 4 years and isn't necessarily a partisan issue either.

Yes, it's pointless to have a scheme that allows you to dominate against slow athletes, yet gets you beat against teams that can match your speed. What about the Michigan Defense brought over from the Ravens? That's different than this MINT scheme isn't it?

They isn't too much wrong with Savage at Nickel or boundary safety, we just need a speedy field safety.

Will is going to have to have a better playbook for second and long and 3rd and long, because think Moore is going to take more sacks, and his lack of running threat will reduce the YPC of the running game, putting us behind the sticks more often. It was already bad this year when getting 3rd and long, now it will happen more often.

You guys are awesome. A'Mauri Washington has always impressed me that he jumps forward at the snap so quickly I always think he jumped offsides.

That's a bummer. Who is our boat anchor NT for next year?

All of that is true, but the lack of preparedness by the Defense in the last 2 games is unacceptable for any program, and it falls on the coaches. Players that have played all season shouldn't look lost like that. DL said schematically their game plan was wrong for what OSU did schematically, which was exactly what they did to Tennessee, which means our coaches were too distracted to game plan and coach the plan to the players thoroughly. DL and the coordinators need to think long and hard about how they balance coaching and recruiting after the last regular season game. We're never going to win 3-4 post season games in a row to get a Natty if their approach doesn't change during that window.

Does Bedford have another year of eligibility?

Just imagine how easy our path would have been last year since we lost the CCG /sarc.

It is conceivable. Notre Dame is a great team this year, but I'd bet on the seniors of Ohio State to come to play and shut down the Notre Dame offense. In other news, 5 of the 6 NFL wildcard games were blowouts. Division weekend will hopefully be a bit better.

B1G YouTubers were loving the viewer support from Duck fans this season.

Forget Last Vegas, Deon want Dallas!

It makes a lot of sense for Sanders to move on to another Coaching job that appears to be a step up. With his son and Hunter off to the NFL and having had a respectable season, he needs to jump now, to avoid risk of his coaching being questioned. Anybody on the Buffs we want in the second round of the portal? I thought they snagged a high end OL from signing with us, so maybe he'll come over now.

Yeah, the qualifier being "really good"Oregon teams. Georgia could be blamed on talent deficiency, which turned out to not be that bad, so I think it had more to do with the team jelling, but Ohio State is mostly on coaching prep, game plan, scheme and the long break.

Chargers game is a tough watch, with the OL getting beat bad and pressure getting to Herbert who has 3 picks, nearly as many he made all season in 250 throws per the stats. Only 6 points with 12 minutes left. Aways games aren't easy, even in the pros.

I'm going to start a topic at some point exploring the hypothetical of Ohio State NOT losing to Michigan and how things would have played out in that scenario.

I'll be excited about Moore if Dan doesn't take a portal QB. So far, so good..

31-16 OSU 3 9 289

Drew and Franklin are a perfect match. Neither has clutch. They just do it completely opposite. Franklin withdraws into his shell, and Allar loses his discipline.

I think ND is probably a bit better, but we play the games for a reason. I hope PSU wins and we have 2 teams that we beat playing for the NC.

Charles admits he picked OBD over his wife. Does it get any more dedicated than that?! LoL My wife's coming, gotta go...

I think the best team since 2014 was the 2023 team. It was better than our 2024 team in hindsight.

Hawaii is the only week 0 team we should consider scheduling, and we just dumped them for little bro, so not really interested.

It's tough to be dominant at 5'10" unless you 1st name is Tez your last name is Johnson, because you can't teach height and catch radius, you have to make up for it with obscene change of direction and speed and ability He may be Evan Stewart 2.0 without 700 thousand crazy female Instagram followers.. I hope he ends up living up to his ranking as the best WR in the class though, you can't win championships without difference makers.
