2026 tOSU Special Teams Discussion

I'd be throwing all I can at the UCLA kicker

That’s the only one that jumped out at me as chasing The Tennessee kicker may have a bigger leg than Fielding, but was not reliable at all. He was 4-6 from 30-39 and the same from 40-49. Being able to hit a 50+ fg is nice, but I’d rather have more reliable with less range every single time.

LSU Tigers (official thread)

Update: LSU starting OL returning after brief portal entry​

For about 50 minutes it looked like LSU and new coach Lane Kiffin were preparing for a compete overhaul of the offensive line, but instead were able to re-sign redshirt freshman tackle Weston Davis to a new deal after he initially appeared in the transfer portal on Sunday morning, CBS Sports' Chris Hummer and Matt Zenitz have learned.

The former four-star recruit from the 2024 class started 10 games this season.

Davis is one of six LSU offensive lineman that started in at least six games this season:
  • Josh Thompson (out of eligibility)
  • Braelin Moore (trending toward return)
  • Weston Davis (returning)
  • Tyree Adams (portal)
  • Coen Echols (portal)
  • Paul Mubenga (portal)

Just sayin': It took about 50 minutes in the portal for the LSU bagman to show up at Weston Davis' residence...... :lol:

Would it, though? In 2025, he was:

6-7 from 20-29 (Fielding was 6-7, too)
7-8 from 30-39 (Fielding was 7-8, too)
7-8 from 40-49 (Fielding was 3-4 in 2025, but was 7-8 in 2024)
0-0 from 50+ (Fielding was 0-1)

He has a career-long of 50 made in 2024. Fielding has a career-long of 49 made in 2025z

He’s never missed a “very important kick” like Fielding has, but he’s also never had the opportunity to choke in a huge situation.

On paper, he’s basically the exact same player.

Yeah, those stats are underwhelming relative to the accolades

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

Uhh did you watch this whole season we were 5 yard passes the the whole year. We weren't constantly trying for chunk plays there is a reason we were having 10-18 plays drives. Day called more chunk plays this game yes and he had them. The QB was just shook. You need both. You can't throw short all the time or teams sit on them like they they did on the screen and you start getting ints cause you compressed the field. The issue is we were missing the mid range game most of the season. It was 0-10 yard passes or deep balls. The 15 yard outs and ins the 12 yard slants etc seemed to disappear a lot.
I agree, the last 2 games were just a young QB, being a young QB. Only option he had was to try the backup, but that would have completely shattered Sayins confidence going forward. Hopefully Sayin learns alot from the last 2 games and lights it up next year

For the second time this season, Cam Little has made NFL history. The Jaguars kicker hit a 67-yard field goal against the Titans on Sunday, which set the NFL record for longest outdoor field goal. The kick comes just two months after Little set the overall NFL record with a 68-yard field goal back in Week 9 against the Raiders.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Holy shit with this guy. His latest argument:
"you realize in the sec, someone has to lose right? Kentucky could have 30% blue chip ratio. They’re still going to have to play Oklahoma, bama, tn, South Carolina, lsu, Texas, and vandy this year". I didn't even have to use any brain cells to counter that point.

What was the blue chippers ratio in the Indiana-Bama game?

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

We need a wholesale modernization of the offense, on the level of what Day brought taking the offense over from Urban. Our pass offense asks too much of the line and the QB, and gives too much initiative over to the opposing defensive coordinator to be aggressive. Everything is 2-3 reads plus a dump down, trying to give our WRs a chance to beat their guy for a big damaging play. But when we want to go from 1st and 10 to just 2nd and 5, or needing 3-5 yards on third down... we need schemed open plays that are only designed to get just that much. I think this will also take a lot of pressure off of the red zone offense, where you can't really depend on WRs beating their guy because the end zone is an extra defender.

Even at the NFL level, you see this everywhere. I watch a lot of Bears. That has been the recipe for Caleb Williams this season and the major adjustment Ben Johnson has made. You see it in SF in how they use McCaffrey and Kittle. You saw it from Miami on how they use their #10 guy (forget his name), or just how they consistently get off to a good start on first down and convert third and makeable.

In a pretty shocking turn, I think offensive schemes have left Ryan Day behind and he is now running a pretty dated scheme. I think he has always asked his QBs to do a lot... he wants to load them up with several options and reads on each play. But Mendoza (6th year senior), Beck (who knows how long he's been in college) are beating you with 1 and 2 read passing games... at some point you have to see what is working against your defense and think "maybe I should incorporate some of this".

My preference would be a young, outside hire OC who has exposure to these modern offensive systems. I think JT Barrett has learned a ton and gets rave reviews in both Detroit and now Chicago. I would give him a look. I don't really know lots of coaching trees and names... not my bag... but modernization needs to be the name of the game.

Day saw that we needed wholesale scheme changes on defense and to his credit he made good hires there back to back. He has the chance to make a similarly impactful decision now on the offensive side of the ball... but will he make it given that he sees offense as 'his' thing?
Uhh did you watch this whole season we were 5 yard passes the the whole year. We weren't constantly trying for chunk plays there is a reason we were having 10-18 plays drives. Day called more chunk plays this game yes and he had them. The QB was just shook. You need both.
