Wow. Just wow. ND has a cap on it. LSU is a better job. Can you imagine thinking that in 1994?
Fickell possibly to be reunited with Freeman? That is too much.
"Every time you think you set this program backwards." - Luke Fickell, running LB drills while on Tressel's staff
OKL and ND on the clock. OSU assistant coaching staff a shambles with Wilson rumored to be taking a HC job.
What a crazy three days. Just waiting for the last pins to drop with playoff expansion and OKL and TEX to the SEC officially.

Who ends up coaching here? Does Fickell leave Cincy? I read reports that Kingsbury is a target for OKL but no way he leaves the Cardinals.
Who is the fav for LSU? Do they target Fickell?
I will say Matt Campbell ends up at OKL and they will lose 5-7 games a year forever because they aren't built to battle those SEC lines week in and week out. Also Lincoln is gonna shut down any pipelines they had in the Sunshine state. It looks bad for OKL.

If Oklahoma State doesn't make the playoffs that would be a neat matchup. Or Bama if Georgia beats them.

Hmm live in Norman, Oklahoma and recruit Cali QBs or live in LA and recruit Cali QBs. Seems like an easy call to me.

There were no adjustments. We were begging the D to just play man on their WRs and load the box ala VA Tech vs JT Barrett in 2014 but they kept lining up base and getting the ball shoved down their throat. At some point you HAVE to sell out against the run. If they go Bombs over Baghdad well so be it.
Just a disappointing performance but we weren't going to beat UM every year forever. Everything lined up for them to get a big home win and they did. We basically played 2 good teams this year and BOF A DEM ran the ball down our throat with no resistance. That stings a bit and is a bit worrisome moving forward. I have been a vocal critic of Urbs but one thing about his teams they were mostly gd tough.

Also it is good for College Football if OSU, CLEM, and ALA all miss the playoffs in some ways. Sucks for OSU but that 5h1t was getting old.

We just weren't a tough team this year. Oregon popped us in the mouth and then we never really faced a team with any teeth til UM. Sad performance by the D line. Our LBs have been hot trash for years which is disappointing given the tradition of studs (see: the Katzenmonster) that position has employed. Just not tough. It's been a theme all year. I called them out before the MSU game. Even mentally, the constant false starts. If someone mentions Dawand Jones and Orlando Pace in the same sentence again I will puke in my mouth. The entire defensive coaching staff needs to be turned over. I really like Al Washington but it's been bad for awhile. I like Coombs as a DB coach but not anything else. I don't know if he would leave the pros but I would kick the tires hard on Chris Ash as a. D coordinator. Or if we can pry our dude from ND that would be slick. I think the realists among us realized awhile ago this is just not a great OSU team it is just a great OSU passing attack. Big difference.

UM o line is mauling and their d is putting on a tackling clinic.
Also not a newsflash when a position transfer is ur best player but our LBs are turrible.

Don't understand the slow down O inside your opponent's 5 yard line but OSUs body language is awful and the cold is affecting our passing game. Stroud terrible pass to Olave and Olave with alligator arms. Concerning. Line it up and POUND THE GD ROCK RYAN!

Day's 100 point threat was in response to Harbaugh calling us cheaters, not in response to them coviding all over themselves.

UM has a decent QB and WRs who can turn a completion into a long td. Their o line is ok and their run game is meh and our d line has improved but i have seen us get run on too many times before to hang my hat on another 50 total rushing yard performance from our D. The weather also worries me and i also worry what happens to CJ the first time he gets popped. This is the first non-JT Barrett game i have been slightly concerned about in awhile. UM is more than capable of a win on Saturday. They're gonna beat us someday. It would be hilarious tho to watch UM win on Saturday then lose the B10 title game haha. Hopefully this is not the case and we get decent weather and a clean Buckeye pocket.

Their d line is legit and an area of concern. Also the game is in Michigan. This isn't a slam dunk game.

God's ballz. It is pretty obvious Stroud was playing hurt early in the season. He is slingin' it.

IF you're speaking of Ryan Day....he isn't demanding of his players and program? Of course I’m speaking of Day, if the defense doesn’t look better than it has at the end of the season, I am curious to see how he responds. Will he make Barnes the full time DC? Will be move on from any defensive coaches? Saban isn’t afraid to do those things and that’s why he’s been so successful. I am hearing that Day has already told high level recruits in some instances that Coombs will not be back as DC. Whether or not Coombs remains on the staff is also doubtful to me because the same folks I hear this from have also said Coombs has turned over his recruits to other more firmly entrenched staff members.

Just win baby. The 2014 team didn't look like world beaters at this point either.
Stroud has to make some plays with his legs. He just has to. If for no other reason than to make the defense think he will/can run.

If OSU wins out they are in. I'm not sure we get there the way our o-line played.
If i was voting for the Heisman i would vote for Caleb Williams and it ain't even close.

Penn State played really well, especially on D. We played terribly, especially the O line. Sooo many false starts. When push came to shove we ran our true Frosh rb into a brick wall all night and hoped he would break one and thank goodness he did.
All it takes is one naked bootleg and you get that on film and at least the threat is there. The arm talent is extremely obvious. I didn't ike the way CJ ran out of bounds 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage on the down field holding. You can't take that for granted and even if you see it and know you have a free play at least plant and fire one.
Great win, not a particularly inspiring performance. Georgia's D-line would slaughter us atm imho.

The offense has also looked pathetic. No run game. The offensive line has been getting destroyed. Stroud won’t run to save his life. Yeah his body language is weird sometimes. And be seems to move around well. He should have ran for it on the Miyan Williams catch/near fumble. I wonder if he is still injured or he is being told not to run or if it just ain't in him. It would really help and there are opportunities there.
