Julian Sayin, Tywone Malone Jr. and Caleb Downs Lead Pro Football Focus’ Highest-Graded Ohio State Players Against Michigan

Julian Sayin, Tywone Malone Jr. and Caleb Downs were Pro Football Focus’ highest-rated players for Ohio State in the Buckeyes’ 27-9 win over Michigan.

www.elevenwarriors.com

QB Julian Sayin

How dominant has Julian Sayin been this season? He has been Ohio State's highest-rated player for half of the season's 12 games. That happens when you are the best graded quarterback in overall offense (93.4) and passing (93.2) in the nation for the season.

Another category Sayin has been super in is completing passes. Not only is his completion percentage of 78.9 the best of any quarterback this season, it's the highest for any quarterback for a season ... ever.

Just sayin': He's just rsFreshman and it's his 1st year actually playing; so I'm guessing that he hasn't come close to "hitting his ceiling' yet.

Unbelievable. Sayin has the potential to leave as the greatest QB in OSU history. The comparisons of him to Brees are pretty accurate.

Goodluck to CHJ. We move on. They got lanning and we got Ryan Day. The proof of quality QBs that come into our program with the transfer portal of proven WRs moving forward we will be just fine. Still gonna pull high 4-5 star WRs. Defense looks great moving forward aswell

Sign him for 10 years 50 million lol.

Birm on 97.1 the fan just said CHJ to Oregon.

Welp, if Oregon wants a war, then a war they shall get. It's time to bury that program.

You guys really think that pointing out the absurd depth of talent at WR we have enjoyed is a good example of why Hartline will be replaced and OSU won't skip a beat?

I doubt anything we say here matters to CHJ. If he checks here out for guidance, I'd be more worried.

The point is, there is never a bad time to reminisce about great Buckeye times.

Only 573 yds passing. How can they look at themselves in the mirror? I'm talking to you, CJ, JSN. And Marvin, with only 3 TDs. geez...

Wild. I thought he'd get at least one of the 2nd teams

I thought so when we lost Olave and Wilson, then JSN, then Marvin, then JJ, ... you get the picture.

Brian will be missed, though.

I wish they played it and the CFP said "that's nice but it doesn't count. Still not getting in. Next"

It's not going well for Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti

Between his private equity deal falling apart and lack of support for his CFP format, it's been a tough run for Big Ten commish Tony Petitti.

I found the (dis)Honorable Gentleman from Washington saying congress would "fix" college sports to be the most galling/alarming/darkly comedic part of the article.

Sweet Woody in heaven do I hate politicians.

Would it shit its pants?

I've been sitting on this one since the Penn State game this year.

My brother and I came to Columbus early and met up with some friends for the OSU/PSU hockey game (the second one). We were in one of the suites. A little while into the first period, who should come doofusing a few rows in front of us, but Jay Paterno. My brother yelled "JAY" a few times to see if he'd turn around.....eventually did. Our buddy who is a Penn State fan living in Columbus walked to the edge of the suite and yelled "JAY PATERNO" and he confirmed that is indeed who it was.

My brother isn't one to shy away from heckling. He was giving him shit all game. Jay got up to leave at one point and my brother yelled "I REMEMBER WHEN YOUR DAD POOPED HIS PANTS". Jay wasn't going to let that one slide. Fun fact......the suites in the Schott are accessible from any seat in the lower level. Wanna know how I know this? Because about 10 seconds later, Jay Paterno has his arm around my brother, telling him the Paterno version of why Joe didn't actually poop his pants that day. The proof? A reporter asked him if he was embarrassed about running off the field before halftime, and Joe's answer was "not half as embarrassed as if I hadn't made it".

I was distancing myself from the whole thing, so I wasn't able to ask the very obvious follow up question of "then why did he change his pants for the second half?"

So there you have it. The Paterno family was so embarrassed by good ol Joe shitting himself that they have a locked and loaded story to tell almost TWENTY YEARS LATER. It bothered them that much. Which brings me a nice little sliver of joy.

Just sayin': As graded by Pro Football Focus (PFF) Sonny Styles has the best tackling grade in the nation (92.2). His 58 tackles without a miss are the most of any player this season.

This is just fantastically difficult to do. Absurdly implausible, even more so than some of Sayin's stats. It's absurd in a vacuum and then when you add in all the clamor going on around him (having made a lot of tackles and missed more than a few, both with and without a helmet in the past 40+ years), this statistic is incomprehensible. Well fucking done, Sir.

It would have to have the "turn the blind eye" capability installed, too.
