PK Jackson Courville (transfer to Tulane)

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but watching a ton of bowl games, it’s wild how many good kickers there are at lower level teams. Dudes just knocking kicks down from 50+ with relative ease.

I have to think we’ve got something lined up here…

My same thoughts. There’s a few in the portal available, including the B1G kicker of the year from Illinois.

Probably grab someone with experience for immediate impact, then go hard after stud recruit for longer term,

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

Login to view embedded media
Great discussion around the 10 minute mark regarding our offensive approach. How the approach for maximum efficiency is not something we should continue doing.

That is not what they said. They touched on the basic problem when they quoted Day. If you don't execute (get first downs) then going "faster" just hands the ball back to the opponent faster.

The problem was execution, not speed. We just saw two games in a row where the young QB was visibly sped up, confused and making mistakes because of what better defenses were doing to him. Unfortunately, speeding up a guy who's not able to execute already just isn't going to work.

The problem wasn't the speed, it was the young QB's development (along with the OL issues).

Going forward, if you have a skill advantage the best strategy is efficiency. In some tactical situations you can absolutely apply tempo but as a high level approach, efficiency is the best path if you are the more skilled team.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Dahger

What the hell happened after the safety? I walked out of the room came back and somehow Georgia lined up with the ball
1 second on the clock, then Ole Miss didn't even try on the onside, so UGA got a cover with no time off the clock, setting up a 1 second play.

DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

It was mentioned in interviews at the end of the season that Styles and Reese got to decide themselves whether they blitzed or not in certain third down situations.

I think specifically, Patricia needs to adjust this dynamic in crucial down situations and make it not a player-based option whether they bring pressure or not - use your decades of experience and call an advantageous play on crucial downs in the most important games.

Empowering your players to make those adjustments pre and post snap, especially in an era that loves exit motions, is an incredibly important tool.

Making sure your 1st and 2nd level defenders communicate who has the RB is a big deal though. The prevalence of HB rail in 2025 as a staple concept that is both explosive and high percentage hurt this defense against Miami.

2026 College Football Playoffs Discussion

Football is hard. There’s luck involved.

Sometimes the best teams lose. Sometimes they lose the wrong game (see OSU in 2022, 2023, 2018).

That shouldn’t mean they don’t get a shot to prove it in a playoff.
yep, it is hard, and I agree the best team doesn't always win. But I'm tired of the deck being stacked (mostly in the SEC's favor). If we want an even playing field, then it needs to be EVEN for everyone. None of this "eye test" and hypotheticals. Make winning mean something again, that's all I ask. My fear is the more we expand, the more the regular season doesn't matter. We'll get to the point where fucking 7-6 LSU is in over some 10-2 team. Hell, we almost got there this year with arguing for Vandy. You think they wouldn't have chosen Vandy over Iowa? They'd definitely choose Missouri and Tennessee over Kennesaw and Western Michigan, who actually won a conference. None of those teams have any chance of actually winning it all, but at least 2 of them deserve the chance to try.

DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

Patricia's d also forced three fumbles, which were twice miraculously recovered. They led to 10 points for miami, one of them directly saving the fg try.

The one that bounced out wide was a prime opportunity for a scoop and score.

The back seven has elite talent, with one elite DT upfront. The other DL are Iowa guys, which is not a mockery. They are sound, physical and can make plays but they are not early draft picks. A couple of them will go later and last in the league though.

Huh, that’s interesting
