The biggest advantage Smith will have at Ohio State relative to his NFL offenses is the talent he inherits at quarterback and wide receiver. While his best quarterbacks in Atlanta and Pittsburgh were players at the tail end of their careers in Ryan and Rodgers, he’ll enter 2026 with arguably college football’s best quarterback in Julian Sayin, the only one of last year’s Heisman Trophy finalists who’s still playing college football. He’ll also have one of the nation’s most talented receiving corps, led by a superstar in Jeremiah Smith, while most of his NFL offenses had limited depth at wideout.

Ffrench is going to be one of the more comical wastes of money of this portal cycle. The #2 WR in Whittingham and his OCs offense is like the 4th option at best.

Oh yeah, I'm super stupid for seeing what I think is a bad option and being able to say it's a bad option before spending the energy and time on figuring out the right option. I'm the embodiment of the downfall of society.

I’m waiting for a player ruled ineligible to just start playing and see what they do. Particularly if it’s a wealthier school. Outside of the 60 minutes of game time do we have any enforceable rules?

I hated the LJ hire because Penn St
I didn't think Day was the right choice because he'd never done it before, and I didn't think a HC should learn on the job at OSU
I hated the Patricia hire more than the LJ hire because of the reasons I've mentioned

But I also knew Paterno was a fraud way before he pooped his pants, so I got that going for me.
