True

Not much choice there

Welcome to the fam Quinton! He just finds a way to get to the ball, whether in space 1v1, in coverage or attacking behind the LOS. He can excel at being in a 2 LB set that OSU has been utilizing since he can cover from side to side

I seriously believe Hartline is the one calling the plays yes.

Of course he has influence on the game plan. There literally isn't a head coach on the planet who doesn't on offense OR defense. And please bring up the play card in his hand and ignore the fact that he has a defensive one too.....

Do you seriously think he's calling the defense too? Or is it only because you don't see Hartline using the walkie talkie like Patricia does?

What I’ve heard is that Hartline now runs the offensive game planning meetings, where they decide which plays they are going to run and the strategy for the game. Prior to last year Day always ran these meetings and it was a huge time suck that he shouldn’t do as a HC. This season Day still attends most of the meetings, is heavily involved in the planning and has the final sign off on the game plan. To me it’s less about the in game play calling and more about the offensive strategy decided during the week. That’s when they decide on the pool of red zone plays that they will use. That’s when it gets decided that we will pull smith and Tate for TE 3 and TE4.

My frustration is like many with questioning why our best players are taken off the field at crucial times. And Im probably wrong that Hartline is the one calling the plays, but Day gets the blame. in the end, win the games. But I think the offense should be put in better position at opportune times to put 7 on the board

You misheard. FIFY.

Welcome to Buckeyes Nation Quinton!!!

UNC Verbal

reclassified to 2026

Bama has flipped back to a slight 'dog tonight at OU.

Bama at plus money is a bet I will take. OU didn't shut down the Bama offense last time, they capitalized on turnovers. That's harder to do twice.

Worth a small gamble imo.

My $.02

1). I trust Marcell Reed and his legs more than I trust Carson Beck when things go to shit. Even in a slopfest, rockfight game - I imagine he'll pick up 2-3 First Downs/half just scrambling alone.

2). Outside of Caleb Downs, Rueben Bain might be the best defensive player in the playoffs (Mason Thomas of OU is #3). That said, I rate TAMU's defense deeper and more effective at home.

3). Long story short - if you can't go into SMU and with on the road, I have SIGNIFICANT doubts about you going into Kyle Field and winning on the road.
