I doubt they have those in Oklahoma. I think 10 years old qualifies you to run farm equipment there.

Think Urban and his crew would prefer the constants of a long-term coach, opposed to someone who provides one scouting report to go on. You are over thinking and I think intentionally to make an excuse for JT Barrett. If you were Dantonio at MSU would you rather face in 2011 Jim Tressel, Luke Fickell or Urban Meyer? Interim HC's rarely become the HC because most of them are not good enough to be a HC. And you are trying to play off some 33 year old, wet behind the ears kid is going to be more difficult than Bob Stoops. Maybe Ohio State should tell Urban Meyer to sit out the first 2 games as coach to make it tougher on Oklahoma. Announce Luke Fickell as the interim HC, that will scare Oklahoma.

In this case, you are talking about an 'interim' head coach, which is merely a fill-in till the permanent replacement is named. Stoops personally picked Lincoln Riley as his successor and has been grooming him until this moment. He is his replacement, not an interim coach. I know what you are saying, Bob Stoops has a proven record over the last 18 years and a tough opponent. No question about that.
I think you understand what I am saying. Lincoln Riley, no matter how influenced he was by his mentor the past few years, will put his own footprint on this team, in some form or fashion. When you put together a scouting report, it is based on specific plays, within the context of down and situational tendencies. Most everything could change, or nothing might change. J.T. doesn't need an excuse maker, his play will stand on it's own merit.

Just read about an 11 year old being approached by college coaches......c'mon! It's nothing more than groveling at the feet of a snot nosed kid, who just learned to tie his shoe laces....lol

Since Urban Meyer was hired as head coach and resurrected the football program, applications for enrollment to Ohio State has increased 82.6%. That alone should make him the highest paid coach in the country.

That alone should make him the highest paid coach in the country. Not sure if there is an exact correlation of the two, but one can't argue against the fact Urban has elevated the Ohio State brand in a most positive and dramatic fashion. Urban's contribution to the Ohio State brand is huge, but the greater picture is also the nations best. "The Capital One Cup is awarded annually to each of the best men's and women's Division I college athletics programs in the country. Points toward the Capital One Cup are earned and tracked throughout the year based on final standings of NCAA Championships and final official coaches' polls." Ohio State receive $400,000 in student-athlete scholarships and will be recognized with their award at the ESPY Awards on July 12. The Scarlet and Gray won the men's volleyball national championship, finished top 10 in men's tennis and were the runners up in men's lacrosse to claim the top Capital One spot and seal the title as the nation's top men's athletic program. MEN’S CUP FINAL STANDINGS (Top-10) 1. Ohio State (111 points) 2. Florida (105) 3. North Carolina (100) 4. Stanford (94.5) 5. Denver (85) 6. Clemson (78) 7. Maryland (72) 8. Oklahoma (70) 9. Wisconsin (60) 10. Oregon (56)

According to an article in USA Today, the Top Ten schools to play football and get an education.
1. Ohio State 2. TCU 3. Duke 4. Notre Dame 5. Alabama 6. Wisconsin 7. Baylor 8. Clemson 9. Georgia Tech 10. USC
Michigan couldn't have missed the list because of academics.

Facts and reasoning dictate that with JT as your qb you are not going to stretch the field in your passing game. Period. There is no debating that. Therefore your offense is never going to reach its full potential with him at the helm. There is also no debating that whether you like it or bot he has lost a step since his injury. He just isn't the same runner as he used to be. Is he better than 85% or so of the other college qbs out there? Absolutely. But you cannot beat the Alabamas of this world when your offense is essentially playing inside a box of its own making.

Over half of JT's school record TD passes were thrown 15 to 50 yards in the air. IMO, the reason for the inconsistency at "stretching" the field is due to the lack of quality or very young WRs. None Since the graduation of Devin Smith have his speed and athleticism.None since Michael Thomas are great at running routes. One or both is what's need to get separation from the DBs covering them. Can you name a WR on the roster since their graduation that have their skill sets? What good is it to ATTEMPT to "stretch" the field if WRs aren't open down field?
You nor I have any idea if the QB's that would replace JT this year are better at "stretching" the field with the same set of WRs. What we do know for certain is neither of those QB's are anywhere close to the runner JT is. AND a good running QB is still the most important factor in the success of Urban's offense.
Aaron Rogers says touch is much more important than arm strength when it comes to completing passes down field.
Teddy Bridgewater was the NFL's most accurate passer due to throwing a lot of short passes. His accuracy dropped considerably when throwing the ball down field.
THE KEY to the passing game being better this year than last year is the O-line. Neophytes forget the importance of an O-line in a passing game. See the Cleveland Browns. The O-line MUST give any QB time to "stretch" the field. It's said that there are very few DBs that can cover a good WR for more than 5 seconds.

Urban made it no secret, the O-line and particularly Isiah Prince didn't perform to Buckeye standards. Urban also made no secret he was unhappy with his receivers. As MF pointed out, the deep routes need time to develop. Had it not been for J.T.'s ability to scramble around the pocket to buy extra time when he's taking undo heat, last years situation could have been much more problematic. Anyone remember the spring throwing contest that Cardale involved himself in? There was less than 3 yards separating Cardale from J.T.

Lol 15-50 yards. That is like WF saying his pecker is somewhere between 2-20 inches long. JT sucks.

WF likes to pretend that those 50 yard tds were actually thrown 50 yards in the air and not catch and runs by the receivers. He must not think that we actually watch the games too.

I'm excited and optimistic that this seasons offense will be multi-dimensional and explosive, under coach Wilson. While this offense will be quite entertaining, the defense should be one of the best Urban has ever fielded at Ohio State. I see a lot of 3 and outs for opposing offenses, giving our offense, field position advantages, while enjoying a significant snap count advantage over their counterparts.

Did you watch the video of all of his school record TD passes? Did you watch it closely?? Replaying it over and over to calculate the EXACT number of yards the ball was in the air on EVERY TD pass? I DID!!! You may friend are "The Great Pretender".

I agree with 100% of that, and none of it had anything directly connected to JT. You can't have a dominant offense without the experience, poise and leadership J.T. Barrett is going to provide. Every coach will tell you the offense begins with the center, after that the QB makes it all happen. Billy Price should uphold the fine tradition of outstanding centers of recent years, particularly Pat Elwein. Price is on the pre-season Rimington Trophy watch list and should make the short list for that award. Expect the train wreck that was the right side of the OL to be basically resolved and cease to be a problem this year. Isiah Prince was like a deer in headlights last year and got schooled on a regular basis last season, not that he didn't have the physical tools, he was simply not ready to fulfill the role of a starting RT. We have solid backups in Malcom Pridgeon and Josh Myers, that may challenge Prince for that RT spot.

Have you not heard the term manage the game. Ask Dak Prescott. Not a comparison of QBs but an example of good offense without the need for the best QB.

But, we do have one of the best QB's in the game, who reads defenses about as well as you could want at this level. It's about moving the sticks and sustaining drives, J.T. does that as well as anyone. With an invigorated, experienced line to operate behind, expect Barrett, Weber, Dobbins and Campbell to impose their will with frequency.
