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

and the one you usually leave out there with the 3 TEs is a much weaker blocker than his backup.
Not only that but my one pet peeve with Day even before the 3-4TE's sets of this year. Is he's obsessed with motioning our number 3 and therefore usually smallest reciever into block on 3rd and short. Dude you are a smart guy stop making the numbers worse.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

I’m all on board the “fuck ND in perpetuity” train, but what an absolute joke to swap Miami and ND when neither team played yesterday. Hell, the only team playing yesterday that either team played this season was Boise who won by 17 - and that would only strengthen ND’s schedule.

Just making shit up to justify what they want to do. Some arbitrary shit. I’d be pissed if I was an ND fan.

That being said….dont lose two games and give the committee the opportunity to leave you out. Oh, and join a conference you big, baby bitches.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Well, there's no doubt that neither Miami nor ND is the best 4 teams, but the more we expand, the more we push where the controversy line is.
Right. All the arguing is over who should get to lose to the eventual champion. So really, just about who collects the first round money.

NFL Discussion (Official Thread)

Using Brady Cook and Tyrod Taylor as benchmarks isn't the argument you think it is.

The NYJ largest offensive roster issue is the QB position.

I understand the natural inclination to defend our Buckeyes, I get it. But they're professionals now. We need to have a more sensible, logical and level-headed approach to our evaluations.
Oh I get it JF isn’t the answer. I’m making fun of the Owner who made it about JF. Glenn who also brought him there basically threw him under the bus as well. The organization is a clusterfuck and has been for years under his ownership. They have lot more issues than the QB. Ask Rodgers.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

The biggest joke is Bama getting nuked in the SEC title game and not even moving at all.

Not gonna shed tears for ND but they really did get screwed by the shuffle to protect Bamas playoff spot that was set up last week when they all of a sudden put Bama ahead of them for no logical football reason when ND had been ahead of them for weeks.

It's more clear than ever that they just make shit up week to week depending on the narrative they want set.
Yeah that was clearly the SEC crying about it and saying we'll end our championship game if you do this. Maybe don't get housed when you're on the bubble dipships

Bo Jackson is a good solid back. But he's not a game changer (at least not now---I dont know if people thought Zeke would become what he became fwiw) but I'm sure other teams are fine with him getting 20 carries a game
Of the issues that exist in last night's game, Bo Jackson is not one of them.
I think he did just fine considering the right side of the O line and the TEs couldn't block for shit.

Bo would be a very nice change of pace back behind Peoples, if projections held up properly. It's not his fault that Alford (and other circumstances) have left OSU's depth chart so thin most of the past decade.

Yes, Fields was the problem

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, National Champion)

They sped him up in the pocket and delayed his reads consistently. All night.

There is no such thing as "delaying reads" There are progressions that aren't viable as you make reads. There are muddled reads. But there is no "delay" you get into your progression and/or triangle... the difference is the speed.

When your time to throw is shortened, your processor must speed up.

This game was more on coaches imo. IU guys had a better game plan and our guys didn't catch up until it was too late (and still almost won).

There are ways I agree. But I saw missed execution on the OL and QB early and late. There was a collective, top-down failure last night on the offense (sans WRs)

Learning experience. Nothing foundationally wrong.

The OL getting their asses whipped is absolutely a foundational issue. How we see Julian progress in playoff prep will reveal more. But there were things scUM threw at him that IU did as well. Both defenses were successful in those deployments, IU especially because of their DL.

Indiana is a damn good team. No shame in losing to them. But our redzone offense, lack of an identity in short yardage situations, and kicker who's scared of his own shadow are deeply troubling. Hopefully we get a similar flip of the switch as last year's playoffs, otherwise we will go home early
