Pound that a55. I freaking hate Penn State. Plant a flag in the dirt and send Franklin to the West Coast. Turn Happy Valley into Nebraska East.

No one needs to do anything to get in. There is no criteria except to be one of the 4 best teams. A team can be 3-10 and get in the committee thinks they are one of the 4 best teams.
If we run the table we will get in. We will get in over an undefeated Cincy. It's Cincy.
2023 Buckeyes shaping up to be particularly scary.
Three two a cheat code. Already the best back in the country.

Fleming didn't get a single snap? Unreal.
Egbuka and Harrison Jr. are gangsters.

So glad we planted a flag in Clemson's ace last year and put Dabbo out to pasture. Their run is ov-uh. Lol losing to PIT.

Fleming is the 6th best wr on this team and would be 7th if not for kid transferring to Bama. Would not be surprised to see him enter the portal at some point. He is not going to take plays from Njigba/Egbuka/Harrison moving forward either.

Fickell's loss to UM was not on him. He inherited a Poop deal and took one for his alma mater. Good grief. And Pryor was still the QB when he accepted. So glad he got a signature win vs WISCY and future HOF Russell Wilson and did it with a true frosh at QB. Fickell will always be my fav OSU coach because of that season. You are not only a moron (which we all knew) now you are cherry picking to take a shot at one of the most standup OSU alums ever.
Be better.

Belichik WITH Tom Brady or Bill Belichik withOUT Tom Brady?
There isn't a bigger Fickell fan than me but I don't understand why Day has to be inept in this metaphor. I watched Urban lose at home to a 2nd string MSU QB because he didn't want to win with a QB he didn't recruit. At least Oregon was ranked. Coombs as DC is the bigger issue. Ed Warinner 2.0

Our LBs have been mediocre for years. If you are a senior LB and you can't ball out enough to keep some underclassmen and a gd running back on the bench then gtfo and go play for Pitt. Double deuces.

It is hard to evaluate the qbs because our wr are so gd good. That td pass to Njigba was underthrown. Neither qb has impressed much. Just goes to show how lucky we have been the last two decades at qb with legit ballers every year since Troy Smith took over for Zwick. Interrupted only briefly by Todd Boeckman.
I even give Bauserman a baller score for his passing chart. Troy/Pryor/Braxton/Barrett/Cardale/Simba/Fields. That is a sick run and not really matched by any other University over that period. Stroud and McCord do not appear ready for primetime yet which is a bummer of sorts given our WR corps.

The story here is fix the D. D line is a mess. LBs have sucked for awhile now. DBs are all injured. If the D doesn't suck so bad we don't have to go for it on 4th down vs ORE every time.
BUT we better maximize what we get out of the QB position because I don't see the D getting a lot better moving forward. Teams are just Biakabatuing the bejeezus out of us and PSU and UM are licking their chops I am sure. 2018 redux for sure so Stroud better keep slinging, it took 50 tds from Simba to keep us afloat that year.

Henderson was about the only bright spot. Also, what happened to Miyan Williams? Who cares lol

My concern with Stroud(obviously low sample size) is his throws on the run. Look at how far off or not even close his throws on the run were. When his feet were set or throwing from the pocket he seemed fine. Hopefully that just gets better with more experience. he seemed fine to me when guys were running wild open, but he was clean all night and did not impress of course, it's a small sample size from a first time starter who threw 4 tds so...maybe we are just a bit spoiled (Pryor/Braxton/Barrett/Fields) and it is the "comparison is the thief of joy" effect i am just being honest though, he just did not impress me in the way i expected he would more worried about the D though than Stroud, although again, SSS and started a bunch of true and redshirt Frosh Good game though, can't wait to play Oregon. We have some things to button down though for sure, and the first thing on my priority list if I am Coach Day is to get Henderson caught up in the protection packages so he can get 15-20 touches a game, he needs to have the ball. Teague is who we thought he is (a 4th-1 hammer) and Miyan deserves his share, but it was clear to me that Henderson is even more elite than I thought and he needs to get the ball as often as he can.

Coombs is a concern. Think we pegged this one when the hire was made tho.
Stroud was disappointing to be honest. For whatever reason, legit or not. He was.
Henderson looks like a faster, more agile Dobbins with better hands. Gd terrifying with this OL. I look for him to command more touches.

Pound the rock with Teague and Miyan. Stop trying to showcase the QB position. Don't go all 2015 MSU on us.

i think the Gophers are gonna be ready, we are going to have to win this game they are not going to punk out and lose it
stoked to see Stroud who I think throws one of the better balls I have ever seen
ALSO stoked to see Miyan Williams (hopefully) get some carries.

dunno how many of you are following what might actually be the looniest sports story i've ever heard with IMG playing a HS team last week that turned out to be fake
awfulannouncing.com/espn/we-learned-more-about-how-bishop-sycamore-ended-up-playing-on-espn-and-its-only-getting-shadier.html
great article here ^^^^^^^^
some excerpts below from 11 Warriors:
"-There is very little evidence that this school even exists in any capacity.
-There is no such person as "Bishop Sycamore;" it's just arbitrarily named.
-This team played two games in a span of three days using the same players, many of which played both sides of the ball.
-The vast majority of the players aren't even in high school; they're graduated.
-The team claims to have multiple players with Division I offers, but there's absolutely no evidence of that.
-There are players on the roster with fake identities.
-The team was unable to give the broadcast team covering the game an official roster.
-The team does not appear to even have an away uniform or enough helmets for the entire team.
-They played IMG Academy last year... And IMG thought it was a good idea to just run it back on national television?
-The team appears to have absolutely no money, to the point that they ghosted multiple hotels before getting kicked out of another one."
Also a great take on the Tuesday Skull Session at 11 Warriors.
