2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

Been seeing a lot of people weirdly lukewarm on the defense which is surprising to me I guess. Yeah they didn't look like a generational defense from the jump but they definitely looked like they'll be a Top 5 unit by the end of the year. They honestly looked better than I thought. Other than the trick play there weren't any huge busts like we'd usually see.

I think people will overreact to things they see, and Ohio State fans (I know everyone does) tend to forget the other team is going to give Ohio State its best shot right out of the gate, even in bodybag games.

I seriously doubt the defense did anything but basic stuff yesterday - I didn't get to watch much until the 4th quarter. If Ball State's coaches have any talent whatsoever, they know there would be some basic cover 3 defense going on most the day with not a lot of blitzing. Again I didn't see a lot, but if the tackling was good, the schematic stuff doesn't bother me much.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

He needs to play. The narrative that he’s going to “force himself on the field looks to hold true.”

I’d imagine those swing and flare routes are a really simple and nice way to acclimate him o the passing game.

If the secondary drops back and doesn’t sit in a zone, fling him the ball for an easy 5-8 yards. You can eat teams alive all night with the commitment they’re going to have to make against Smith and McCuin.

Some mental dinosaurs will refuse to accept but Day > Meyer and it’s not close. Meyer ain’t winning at this clip in this era….he’s 3 heart attacks and a stroke deep at least 2019-2026.

Meyer is a more versatile and superior coach for more situations in college, but he burns out himself and his effectiveness.

Day is a superior CEO/coach, both in longevity and adaptability. Considerably different leader as well, particularly on the hiring and delegation front.

There's a giant schematic advantage too heavily in Ryan's favor. They both have flaws there, but Ryan is not stuck in another decade.

Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

Wealthy influencer Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo, also known as Denisi or Ego, died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure during a luxury vacation in Thailand with his wife ... and a coroner says the cosmetic treatment caused a fatal embolism.

The 43-year-old British-Nigerian businessman had 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at an unnamed Thai clinic in March, according to an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court.

Igho was staying at a Marriott hotel in Bangkok with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen. After the procedure, the couple went for a massage, where Igho complained of chest pain and passed out twice.

He was taken to Sukhumvit Hospital by ambulance and was initially able to answer questions. Danielle told doctors about the filler injections, but Igho lost consciousness before a recommended CT scan could be performed.

Doctors determined he had suffered a pulmonary embolism — a clot blocking a blood vessel in the lungs — and transferred him to intensive care. Medics performed CPR for more than 100 minutes, but Igho died in the early hours of March 6.

A U.K. postmortem found cellular material in his lungs matching the hyaluronic acid used in the injection. Coroner Jean Harkin ruled that Igho died from a pulmonary embolism caused by the cosmetic procedure.

Igho had about 185,000 Instagram followers and was known for his lavish lifestyle. He owned a $1.1 million home in Los Angeles’ Crenshaw neighborhood and a $600,000 apartment in London. He and Danielle, a fashion designer and socialite, married in a lavish $473,000 ceremony in Zimbabwe in 2022.

There is more velocity on the ball and it is noticeable to me. Looks very comfortable out there and the emergence of McCuin is really going to help, they have great chemistry already. Absolute stud, I hope he has an iconic performance next week.

Florida Gators (official thread)

Florida's 'gator bait' cheer, banned in '20, revived at opener​

The University of Florida revived its "gator bait" cheer Saturday night during its season opener, bringing it back more than six years after the school banned it because of "horrific historic racist imagery" associated with the phrase.

New school president Stuart Bell said in June that "traditions matter" and hinted that the cheer could return because "it's meaningful to the Gator family."

It returned to the Swamp early in the first quarter against Florida Atlantic and was welcomed with a raucous reception. It was far from a surprise because clips of Florida's band practicing the accompanying tune were shared on social media this week.

Former Florida president Kent Fuchs announced in June 2020 that Florida's band would no longer play the musical cue prompting fans to chant "gator bait" because of concerns about possible racial undertones. Art depicting alligator hunters using Black babies to lure the animals into the open was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The most interesting numbers from Ohio State’s 56-3 win over Ball State

There were some pretty interesting numbers that came out of Saturday’s destruction of the Cardinals by the Buckeyes.
www.landgrantholyland.com www.landgrantholyland.com

With eight catches for 151 yards and two scores on Saturday, Jeremiah Smith continued his rise up Ohio State’s record books. The junior now sits just seven receiving touchdowns away from breaking Chris Olave’s school record of 35 receiving touchdowns, and is 189 yards away from besting Michael Jenkins’ career yardage mark of 2,898 yards. Smith notched his 12th career game of at least 100 yards receiving, which is three away from tying Marvin Harrison Jr. for the most in school history.
Along with where he stacks up on Ohio State’s career lists, Smith is also making a mockery of the Big Ten receiving records. Smith finished last season with the most receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns in conference history through two seasons, and the Buckeye receiver looks even better as he enters his third season of college football.

There were some pretty interesting numbers that came out of Saturday’s destruction of the Cardinals by the Buckeyes.
www.landgrantholyland.com www.landgrantholyland.com
Ohio State’s victory over Ball State was the 27th consecutive season-opening win for the Buckeyes, which is the longest active streak in the country. The last time Ohio State lost in their first game of the season came against the Miami Hurricanes in the Kickoff Classic in 1999. The 27 straight wins also tie Florida for the second-longest winning streak in season openers in Division I history. The Buckeyes now just need wins in their next two season openers to tie Nebraska’s streak of 29 straight from 1986 to 2014.
