LB Arvell Reese (National Champion)

Such a wild thing to complain about.

Reese is playing his responsibility in a team defense so he isn’t in on every tackle. Plus the other guys are doing their jobs before he can get there.

I’m perfectly content with him only making one tackle per game if they continue to hold the opponent to 160 yards of offense.

Sure beats the hell out of watching Ryan Shazier make 15 tackles while the team gives up 30 points. :lol:
And several of those tackles while playing with a limp, if I recall correctly.

Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

Using Fan Heart Rate per Game (FHRPG) as my metric this has been the best season in my 50 some odd years of watching.

2002 had a FHRPG score that will never be seen again (at least not by me because I will fucking die).
Absolutely agree.

The 2002 team may have been the least deserving NC in history. If six plays had gone a different way that team ccould have finished .500. And any of you young pups who aren't familiar with how those games played out you owe it to yourselves to do some research.*

But those plays didn't go the other way and that was an incredible year.

*I refreshed my own memory so here is a brief recap:

Scored with 4 minutes left against Cincinnati to win by 4.
Scored the only TD of the second half in the 4th quarter to beat Wisconsin by 5.
Needed a Chris Gamble interception return (which could have been called for interference) to beat PSU BY 6.
If you aren't familiar with "Holy Buckeye" against Purdue why are you even here? That was a 4th and ball game call to win by 4.
Beat Illinois by 7 - in frickin OT.
Intercepted a pass in the endzone with one second left to beat UM by 5. And this after taking the lead with less than 5 minutes remaining.
And the tension in the Fiesta Bowl itself was beyond description. The McGahee injury, the Doss interception, the Dorsey funble, the Clarett strip, the holding on Gamble. Just a few of the plays that decided that game.

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

Just sayin': Just an amazing coaching job this year and it shows the depth that Ohio state had with numerous players really stepping up to fill almost 2/3 of the starting positions

At the end of last season (and Ohio State had 14 players drafted by the NFL) who really believed that the 2025 team might be even better than the team that just won the national Championship?

WR Emeka Egbuka – 1st Round, No. 19 Overall / Tampa Bay Buccaneers
OL Donovan Jackson – 1st Round, No. 24 Overall / Minnesota Vikings
DT Tyleik Williams – 1st Round, No. 28 Overall / Detroit Lions
OT Josh Simmons – 1st Round, No. 32 Overall / Kansas City Chiefs
RB Quinshon Judkins – 2nd Round, No. 36 Overall / Cleveland Browns
RB TreVeyon Henderson – 2nd Round, No. 38 Overall / New England Patriots
DE JT Tuimoloau – 2nd Round, No. 45 / Indianapolis Colts
LB Cody Simon – 4th Round, No. 115 Overall / Arizona Cardinals
SAF Lathan Ransom – 4th Round, No. 122 Overall / Carolina Panthers
DE Jack Sawyer – 4th Round, No. 123 Overall / Pittsburgh Steelers
DT Ty Hamilton – 5th Round, No. 148 Overall / Los Angeles Rams
CB Jordan Hancock – 5th Round, No. 170 Overall / Buffalo Bills
CB Denzel Burke – 5th Round, No. 174 Overall / Arizona Cardinals
QB Will Howard – 6th Round, No. 185 Overall / Pittsburgh Steelers
And don't forget Josh Fryar who was UDFA but is currently starting for the Cardinals.......really wish he had been taken in draft so we'd have set record for most picks.

Pat Fitzgerald (HC Michigan St.)

So now you are going to have (in no particular order)

MSU
tsun
Iowa
Minny
Wisky
Northwestern
Illinois
Nebraska

All basically be the same team, with the same style and the same kind of coach just fluctuating talent/experience on the roster in any given year.

We should go back to divisions and call this one the plain, cold oatmeal division.

Yawn
So the Big Ten West 2.0

2026 CA WR Chris Henry Jr. is a Buckeye!!!

As long as OSU keeps Henry and the kid from Texas, they should be good.

The issue I see is I don't think Hartline can guarantee he will be around to the kids he recruits any longer.
The way its looking in CFB, I don't think any coach can promise that

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

Ryan Day said that very thing in multiple interviews from last spring through the summer.

This season you hear the word efficiency coming from players and coaches after every game. I believe this is the mantra/slogan/concept that coach Day can use as both motivation and explanation to every member of the organization. I think he can hang his legacy on that one word. I would not be sad to see OSU become known as Thee Ohio State University of Efficiency! Regardless of my frivolous conjecture, whatever is working, may it continue unabated throughout his tenure.
Efficient me to the Natty Coach Day ....
