Sayin keeping to the outside to keep the passes “safe” but has missed the TE up the seam twice, once in the endzone

I don’t know what happened over the last 2 games with Sayin’s vision. It’s like he can’t find the middle of the field. Regressed hard.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

90 years of beautiful tradition from Charles Csuri to Orlando Pace, and we can't unfuck our OL problems. Throw a boatload of cash at the Iowa guy provided he's not nearing retirement and give him all the NIL money he needs.

Miami and Texas Tech were the two possible opponents that worried me the most, and those worries came true. Now fix it. We all thought that Alford leaving would solve everything, but that clearly isn't the key.

I'm not sold on Bowen. He's done well as a recruiter, but I didn't see any development or significant run game designs. I also can't remember the last time OSU had an OL coach that more than 50% of the fanbase liked. It's gone Bollman > Wariner > Studrawa > Frye > Bowen. Bollman staying on for more than 5 years never made sense to me, Wariner and Frye could develop but either couldn't recruit, or wouldn't cast a wide net. It seemed like Stud could land a few big talents and struggled badly to have more than 2-3 guys commit each year.

I don't think this is a problem unique to OSU. If I've learned anything from watching football, it's that every fanbase wants to fire their OL coach every year, whether it's college or NFL. It has to be the hardest position to coach, with a longer development timeframe, and finding the right combo of 5 guys that have to play as one.

Part of the equation was just taking a greater number of more talented guys. They've started doing that. Now they need Bowen to earn his paycheck when it comes to development.

Seems to me he did a really good job first year.

One thing about it that is interesting is the fact opposing QB's seemed to get a lot of time in the pocket to scan the field, and throw the ball. Even with that Matt's crew held opps to a low scoring affair. Defense only gave up 17 points yesterday. That said, his D kept this game winnable, but the offense was out of whack, and the OL really isn't very good, nor is ST, which is why they lost the game.

I'm no DC, but I would like to see what he does (if he's still here) about more QB pressures, but even without a lot of this the D was successful. Anyhow, I'm interested to see what he does with that aspect of the game, and who he brings in via recruits/transfers over-all. All in all, I don't see him as the issue. IMHO, it's OL, ST, and some growing pains, including Sayin.

This team can learn from this and become dominate if handled correctly, but I truly have my doubts that the OL will become more assertive and dominate. I hope I'm wrong about that. Day needs to take the OL woes seriously, that's been the weak link all along IMO.

Someone implied they weren't concerned about the OL moving forward after the Indy game because allegedly no other team we would play would bring that kind of pressure.

Wrong. Weakness got found out, and exploited.

Which I utterly don't understand since not only IU but Miami and TT were in the field. IU gave the blueprint on how to beat us, and Miami followed it perfectly. I'm not a B1G! guy, but I guess I'm rooting for Oregon or IU now. I can't stomach Miami or the SEC winning it. Tech wouldn't be horrible, but they are still just a billionaire's mid-major bitch.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

BuckBackHome
It bothers me that I agree with Lanning, but for those teams that make the CFP they need to get maybe one week off after their respective conference championship game and then let the CFP start.

And of course all games before the semis are played at the home stadium of the higher ranked team. This should be a non-negotiable for any changes to the CFP format.

2025 Cotton Bowl BMW Thread: tOSU vs FairWeatherConvicts Led by this Generation's Chuck Amato

buckeyemania11
The defense did its just by not allowing a ton of points but they absolutely got gutted in the most crucial situations. The offense scoring 0 points and giving a pick 6 in the first half pretty much killed the game but in the end the defense failed to come through as well.

Wonder how much different the season would have been if they had been right in their scouting evaluation of Onianwa. If he had been an all-conference type LT, Served could have solidified one of the spots on the right side, etc. Oh well. We're on to Cincinnati

We need portal help at OL but we need to stay far away from guys from low low level programs

Eh these goals were relevant 20 years ago but it's a completely different game now. As arrogant as it sounds it's pretty much natty or bust.

Natty is the ultimate goal, but not the lone measure of success. If you live natty or bust, you're going to be disappointed much of your life.

WR Coach Cortez Hankton (Official Thread)

Has to be sour grapes. While he was there and was the WR coach and passing game coordinator, they had the number 3 passing attack in 2023 and the number 7 in 2024. It dropped off this season, but with Kelly being fired, it seemed to be bigger issues.

Yeah, its hard to know who caused what at LSU (other than Kelly). He seemed to spend more time tanning and taking acting lessons than coaching.

I know you're gone, but let me keep it simple. Goals every season:
1. Beat scUM
2. Win B1G
3. Win Natty

Goal #1 is the easiest, as it's 50/50
Goal #2 is the next easiest as it's 1/18 to make the game and then 50/50
Goal #3 is the hardest, as it is a 12/130+ chance followed by 3 or 4 50/50

Achieving any of those goals can mean some form of success. The harder the goal, the bigger the success. The more goals, the more success.

I think the real reason for the loss against Indiana and Miami was the sign-stealing. No one can ever convince me that the high-octane offense of Ohio is capable of dropping only 10 on Indiana and 14 on Miami. It is really pretty obvious.

Last year, Ohio lost to Michigan but won the "National Championship." That must have been painful and felt a tad hollow. The narrative all summer was 'The natty was all that mattered".

This year, Ohio beat Michigan, lost in the Big 10 Champ, and got clapped in round 1. The narrative all summer will be "we beat Michigan, and that is all that mattered."

So, which is it?

The entitled, whiny Ohio fan is now similar to some of your players and coaches. Soft and uncommitted.

The results:

Failure to win a Big 10 championship in 5 years.
Failure to win a "national Championship" without losing to Michigan
Failure to win a national championship after beating Michigan.

Failure all around. The reason for failure: Of course ......"Everyone cheated."

What a glorious New Year's Eve, watching Julia get thrown around like a ragdoll as you got dog walked. Simply beautiful.

"but... but...but...but .... but ... but .... they cheated," says the average soft entitled, whining Ohio "fan"
