2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

If he's handling what JL and MP want him to, that's his role. A full side of athletic freaks isn't necessary. Great that we have some, but we also need someone out there to manage himself and ten other twenty-somethings, let's remember, on the field. I'm not personally qualified to say that's what's happening as I haven't played MLB since the 8th grade (everyone else grew over the summer and I moved to wingback), but it appears that this is at least part of what's going on.

Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)

With the Brewers completing the sweep the MLB has pushed the start time back from 6 to 8. Looks like they are going to try to play it even though the weather is going to be absolutely dog shit (windy AF) even if the rain stops. Guessing since they have an unopposed time slot tonight they don't want to go up against the NFL on Sunday unless they absolutely have to

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

Not sure what you mean, but these two have been arguably the most impactful in the Defense so far this season. Having them back is crucial.

Now we should have the 3 backers as Alliegro, Pettijohn and Alford and Timmons puts our Nickel back at full strength. Against Marsh and Becker that combination is our best option.

Sorry I misunderstood; I thought you were referencing the entire defense - since you didn’t quote anything in particular but I should have realized your post followed an immediate reference to them.

I agree with you then, my bad. I think Pierce is overall just really limited as a player and his IQ/instrimct/ethic won’t outweigh it at all.

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

This sport is cooked. Nobody is going to watch 8-3 WVU vs 8-3 Pitt competing for a CFP Participation Trophy.

And now nobody is going to watch the blue bloods other than their own fans, because they're guaranteed to get into the CFP no matter what.

Like UGA/Bama last week for example. Completely and utterly worthless game now. I watch games like those every Saturday and have my entire life, that's done now. Over.

The TV execs played themselves. They just fucked the sport.
Meh….this was inevitable. The moment the TV deals started having 9 zeros after the first number it was always going to happen

Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least one touchdown?

Poor OP could’ve avoided this all if only AI was around 20 years ago.

This thread came to mind because UAB beat ECU in over time. UAB had the ball first, and scored to go up 24-17. Then ECU threw a pick 6 and the defender actually ran it all back.

My first question in my mind was has that happened before? And if so how often?

Well instead of embarrassing myself on BP, I googled it and Gemini gave me the answer:
We had Google 20 years ago.

The silly cunt could have looked it up then too.

Game Thread tOSU at Indiana, Saturday Oct. 17, Noon ET, FOX

If you're gonna get Bey heavily involved get him in space on swing passes and normal outside run type plays. Wildcat nonsense is just asking for negative plays.
And for the love of god Bey....don't bounce everything outside. When defenders know your only move is jump cut to the outside, it's not really that great of a move.

Indiana's D line is not as talented as last year, and their secondary as well.

If OSU packs the box, I feel like OSU's DB's can keep things in check enough.

I feel like OSU wins this one.

Hoover is good but nowhere at the level of Mendoza.

Won't be easy but I think OSU wins this.

OL Coach Tyler Bowen (Official Thread)

Obviously with the whole countable assistants going away we need a recruiter OL coach and coaching OL coach why try to find the unicorn when you can have the relatedly common of one or the other and just hire 2 of them.
I am conflicted. They aren't horrible, but also sometimes are out of sync.

Should be better but not bad.
