I want a defensive minded coach for a change that can actually get more fun his players. Mc Daniel wasn't bad really before the injuries dismantled the Offense but the Defense lost a ton of talent. There are pieces there but if we pass up Buckeyes again at positions of need, I might commit a crime.

16-0 run. That’s good, right?

Both defenses being useless in the last 10 minutes is getting predictable, though.

Wow, Canes completely falling apart with flags after somehow, almost incomprehensibly, didn’t have a single flag in their last game.

Bain was blatantly offside on the pick six.

Cupps with 9 pts holy shit

Up 16!

Who's the new sideline Barbie? What SEC sorority did they cull this imbecile from?

Is it Laura Rutledge? They didn't hire her for her brains. They hired her because she's a smoke show.

They don't even need to be a true run threat. Just have escaability and take yards when given. Basically Krenzel level legs.

For all the handwringing about mobile QBs, I agree and think Sayin can fill that role just fine. Looked like he tweaked his ankle against UCLA and lost some mobility and the great pocket presence he had against PSU when they were also getting a lot of pressure.

Howard’s success was more about experience and stepping up in the playoffs. I can remember more times that he slipped on the turf than had some game changing run.

Sayin running the ball wasn’t the issue against IU and Miami. He wasn’t ready for the constant pressure mixed with high level game plans. It happens and he’ll get better.

That was a damn good football game.

Boys are battling up 8 with 1155 left

CJ Stroud vs 2022 Georgia was all I wanted, scramble out of pressure or pick up some free yards if it’s there.

CJ Stroud Georgia or Utah editions win us almost every game we've played

Even Beck's bum ass made critical 3rd down conversions with his legs vs. Ole Miss and us

Just tied JJ for 7th all time on scoring. Should pass him in this next 15 minutes.

Yes….but they need to be a legitimate run threat. They don’t have to be Braxton Miller but Howard, Mendoza, Beck…..all are dangerous enough with their legs to keep drives alive

Hahaha shit. We could have that same sequence 9 more times and capitalize only that 1 out of 10.

Going forward I’m hoping for OSU to reinstate the Vic Janowicz template for future QBs. With this model, one player can run, catch, pass, kick, and punt.

With the ability to catch their own pass or scramble for an explosive play, kick a 60 yard FG, and punt on 1st down, you’re looking at the new age of total football.

Veteran quarterbacks are the future. Our 5th year QB last season was the difference. Sayin gonna be a great one, but if he would’ve been a seasoned veteran, we’d still be playing again this year. Mendoza is seasoned also.

Looks like the SEC isn’t all that dominant without Saban to save them. Take away Bama the last 20 years, and the SEC isn’t any more dominant than any other conference. And I got news for everyone….Indiana isn’t going anywhere, Oregon isn’t going anywhere, we aren’t going anywhere, and teams like USC and Miami are coming back around. I tell my sons that football runs in cycles. The one constant has been Ohio State. That’s why everyone hates us.

Definitely pulling for Oregon

7 of 8 semi-finalists in the new playoffs have been transfers. The other was Allar (2-3 year starter?).

Experienced QBs seem to matter. Beck sucked most of the night but made winning plays.

Yep more often then not experienced mid QBs seem to win out over talented but young
