QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

Sayin will set a lot of records here too if he comes back next year, which right now seems like it's at least 50/50 he does
I think he should come back. But he is showing a lot of growth the last 2 games. The way he climbed the pocket and threw that long TD to Smith this week was outstanding. No way that happens last year.

Proof Points From Ohio State’s Dominant Win at Iowa, Presented by High Bank Distillery​

38:02

Ohio State had control of the game early on, even if the score didn't necessarily show that. Then, by the end of the game, the score seemed closer than the game actually was.

Not only did the Buckeyes take their first lead less than three minutes into the game and never look back, but thanks to that dominant third-quarter performance by the defense, OSU wore down the Hawkeyes. In that quarter alone, Ohio State had a 9:47-5:13 advantage in time of possession.

OSU ran 74 plays for 484 yards (6.5 yards per play); Iowa had 53 plays for 238 yards (4.5 yards per play). The Buckeyes won the time of possession battle, 38:02-21:56.

After a first quarter in which Iowa had the ball for 8:21 of a possible 15 minutes, Ohio State dominated the time of possession from there.
  • First quarter: 6:39-8:21
  • Second quarter: 9:53-5:07
  • Third quarter: 9:47-5:13
  • Fourth quarter: 11:43-3:17
When they needed to make an attempt at a comeback, Iowa's offense had the ball for just 8:30 of a possible 30 minutes in the second half. Ohio State certainly took advantage of the Hawkeyes' fatigue, both through the air and on the ground, as the game went on.

Just sayin': In a road game, with a very hostile/vocal crowd, against a team with an above average (actually the NCAA #1 in opponents scoring allowing only 8 ppg through the 1st 4 games....:lol:) defense; he (i.e. the offense) dominated the time of possession with "ball control" from the 2nd quarter on, especially in the 4th quarter.
Candidly, I enjoyed the strategic use of our OL jumping off-sides requiring more plays to get first downs, thereby draining the clock when we wanted. 4-fucking-D chess.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

9 plays, 90 yards, 1:05
4 plays, 49 yards, :39
4 plays, 85 yards, :20
10 plays, 75 yards, 1:17
9 plays, 84 yards, 1:36

I don’t even know what to make of that stat. It’s like it’s a completely different team in those last 2 minutes. They can look uninspired and disinterested for the first 28 minutes and then suddenly flip a switch.
I wonder how many of those 36 plays went to #4 ?

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

Forgot about Sawyer's folks....but still opine that haven't HEARD about it, not that wasn't happening. Do agree that's a nice step towards showing how family looks to those considering the S&G.
Understand.
One of the few benefits to social media is that kids can stay connected and coordinat events and recruit one another. And the best want to play with the best. So they see each other at camps and stay in touch online and then recruit each other to schools

Colorado State Rams (official thread)

Colorado State parts ways with defensive coordinator Tyson Summers during 56-26 loss to Oregon State​

Colorado State made an abrupt change at defensive coordinator on Saturday night.

After the Rams lost 56-26 at home to Oregon State, Colorado State coach Jim Mora Jr. told reporters that the team had parted ways with defensive coordinator Tyson Summers.

However, that parting appeared to happen during the game and not after it.

Mora said that Summers was replaced as the team's defensive play caller during the first half of the blowout loss and multiple reporters noted that he did not return to the sideline.

"Tyson was relieved of his play-calling duties. He left the field and he is no longer with this football program," Mora said in his postgame media session, before following up with "that is a permanent."

Summers was replaced by assistant coach Kenny McClendon as the team's play caller. Per CBS Sports, McClendon will be the team's new defensive coordinator.

The loss dropped Colorado State to 2-3 and also further solidified the Rams' status as one of the worst defenses in the country. Entering Week 5, Colorado State ranked 129th out of 138 in scoring defense, allowing 34.2 points per game. And, somehow, the defense was letting up 7.4 yards a play.

.
Summers and Mora were in their first year together after Mora was hired as Colorado State's coach at the end of the 2025 season. Summers was Colorado State's defensive coordinator in 2025 under Jay Norvell and was the team's interim coach after Norvell was fired midway through the season. He came to CSU after numerous stops as a defensive assistant following a two-year tenure in charge of Georgia Southern in 2016 and 2017.
Welcome to the current state of college football.

I can think of a better way………..if someone will hook me up with an alibi….
How could you have done anything? I know you were in my back yard playing "house" with a couple of picnic tables at the time.
