Ok so the goal posts have been moved from tempo to timing of snap count and predictable play calling.

In other words you think it’s more likely that the difference between 24 results and 25 is Day as a play caller and not the QB, OL and RB personnel differences.

that actually makes sense to you?

I feel like what Bill Landis said in their post game is exactly what I’ve been trying to say. The predictability of the pace of play hurt our offense. Going slow is fine but we went slow almost exclusively and that helped the opposing defense be efficient. Using the entire play clock gave the defense time to set up and add in that their defense had our silent count figured out to where the Miami defenders could beat our tackles out of their stance.

He even mentioned something about talking about pace of play with Day and he agreed that we can’t be predictable with it. I wish I could pull his full quote but it was a 90 minute episode and I can’t remember where it was.

They keep thinking they are going to get some impact WR but why would any WR want to go play there if Marsh is still there?

Utah pretty much used 1 WR last year. Their #2 WR had 15 catches. scUMs #2 had 39 and even their #3 Semaj Morgan had 20. Utahs 2 TEs had about more catches than everyone outside of the #1 WR combined.

The offense is pretty much only friendly to a mobile QB RBs and TEs

Just sayin': Yeah, it's too bad Louisville doesn't have Notre Dame, Miami, or Clemson on their 2026 schedule. If they did I'd really be a fan.



Also, it's just in time for him to enroll in their "Spring Semester" (i.e. 7 Jan 26). Anyway, I wish him the best of luck and hope he got a nice NIL deal there too.

This would be massive for the team overall.

Figured he would head to Tampa, but I hope he kills it in Louisville. They seem super excited to get him.

Nobody of substance wants to play for Deion any more. He's assembling a low level CUSA team through the portal this time around

Funny how we hear things and believe the hype. Just a small bit of information goes a long way i guess lol.

Would be nice to have Coleman but not for something nutty like 2-3 mil a year.

At least with Koi Perich he produced like an all big ten player so I can understand money for a player like that.

Yeah, thats why once I saw LSU and Tenn pursuing him, I stopped even posting. Let them pay a few mil for a question mark. I dont blame the kid, but I wouldn't pursue further if Im OSU coaches. I'd pursue the Miami(OH) kid over him tbh

Login to view embedded media Sure, blame the kids for hitting the Portal, but ignore the Coaches who are supposed to be the grown ups who leave the kids high and dry. And this coach is actually even in a position to win an NC and left. How do you expect kids to have any loyalty when these are supposed to be the mentors?

Less than 10%. Same percentage as pre-NIL, old transfer rules. This is a whole new ball game.

Who cares about efficiency if you’re scoring 12 more points a game. More opportunities = more points.

I’d rather score 42 points a game over 30 per game.

The change was because the defense only needed 21 points to win. I think there’s a world where you can have both the 42 points per game and a top 5 defense. 2019 proves you can have both the #1 offense and defense at the same time.

That’s not my expectation btw. That’s nuts to expect the best of both. But 30 points a game is a pretty far drop from where those early Ryan Day teams were.

We didn’t win it all last year because of our tempo. We won because we were experienced and very talented.

I mean 2019 didn't win a natty lol.

Personally I just think it comes down to the OL needed to be WAY better and Sayin needing more experience. If the OL isn't getting blown up as soon as the ball is snapped, maybe Sayin sees Tate and Klare. If Sayin is a year older he may have been able to get the ball out so fast the pass rush wouldn't have mattered.

So I went back one more year and looked at OC Ryan Day in 2018:

Year	FEI Offense	rank	plays per game	points per game	DFEI	rank
2018​	0.56​	4​	82.4​	42.4​	0.23​	44​
2019​	0.91​	3​	78.6​	46.9​	0.78​	2​
2020​	0.82​	4​	73.9​	41​	0.16​	45​
2021​	0.92​	1​	71.7​	45.7​	0.27​	33​
2022​	0.8​	4​	68.3​	44.2​	0.53​	12​
2023​	0.37​	14​	66​	30.2​	0.83​	2​
2024​	0.81​	1​	62.8​	35.7​	0.83​	1​
2025​	0.65​	9​	64​	30.6​	1.06​	1​

My opinion is that Day saw his defense suck royal ass for his first 4 years of being the sole play caller/OC. Now the question is did he go that fast because he had to?

Regardless, I see a guy who, after losing The Game 2021 and almost the Rose Bowl to Utah, said screw this and changed. Nothing happens in a vacuum, he changed coordinators but he also slowed the offense down.

I see 2022 on as 4 years of his new approach with 4 different QB's.

Two are really good, one is really bad, one is bad by OSU standards.
