Post vids? Saw things live but I think the switch after Hartline was ill-timed

Oh the switch didn't help but it we could have still won that game.

But I'm sure everyone has seen this one at least he also had innis open on the sideline for 8+ same play.

There is another vid from us backed up down 14 that he misses Tate wide open up the seem and instead drops it off to donalson. I can't find that clip though as the thread it was in seems gone.

Thewn there a few other plays the one he got baited to jeremaiah he had tate open and deeper. A few plays he could have ran if he had Mendoza's legs etc.

IDK, man. When my kids and I talk about what they pay for haircuts my head spins like the exorcist. I don't even like spending $30 and they are talking b/w 80, and $120.... Shit, every two weeks and now it is a shitty car payment.

This probably going to be another beat down.

We have mendoza that game and we win. That's not a knock on Julian that's a RS frosh vs a 4th year player.

I keep thinking along the same lines - teams with most experienced starters wins. We won last year dominated by seniors. The team that will not be named was full of players in their 20th year of eligibility the season before. Just feels like a shift to have a stronger emphasis on portal transfers than loading up with freshmen. But what do I know.

Oh, I’ll take an IU win any day over Oregon.

With the season now complete, it’s back to the recruiting grind for Ohio State’s coaching staff​

Landing Jacobs this week was huge for the 2027 class, but the only thing better than one elite defensive line target out of Georgia for the Buckeyes would of course be another, and so far so good when it comes to Justin Weeks.

The No. 179 player nationally and the 22nd best edge rusher in the class per the 247Sports Composite, Weeks has well over 20 offers to his name, but has made it clear Georgia and Ohio State are the schools that at least currently are sticking out the most for him and his recruitment.

Day needs to bring in someone who can actually fix the OL situation. I think we've been very poor at evaluation. A guy can be the biggest most physical dude but if he's a stiff who plays in quicksand and lacks the more basic skills he's gonna have a hard time against more athletic pass rushers

They don't get to talk that smack ever again. The Buckeyes pounded them into the ice in AA this year. They ran it down their throats again and again.

Sign Illinois kicker, he entered portal. HM all big 10 first two years

My homer take. If Hartline didn't decide to bolt to be a HC we win another Natty.

I don’t think it makes that big a difference, but they’re clearly better off than they were.

Don’t forget the non existent hold call that stopped a solid drive.

The Buckeyes were robbed. That ref should have been forced to come in and kick our field goal.

They were lined up offside on that one play.

We shouldn’t get over this for about 23 years!

Jesus, man! You act like they would have won if the refs didn’t screw us over so badly on that one play. Good god. Never forget.

It happens tho. Tywone Malone this year for example

Right and Ty was fine but he wasn’t a first rounder either.

I wonder what the disconnect was here

You haven't see the post game vids then. Day drew up quite a few winners Sayin just missed and the running for 1at downs would have made a huge difference.

Yes Day could have done more to help him out but it's not nearly as bad as it felt post game.

You know how everyone thinks the first round and quarterfinals should be on campus at the higher ranked school? Now imagine Bama having to go Bloomington Indiana today instead of California.

would have been glorious. Also, we beat Miami at home, for sure, maybe.

This thread title is, uh, pretty shockingly appropriate now.
