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"

Returning the entire OL is more of a concern than a net positive imo.

Also, what do we think we have in Bowen now that he’s got a full cycle in with us?

I just posted yesterday that OSU probably has to get a portal WR. I agree.

He didn’t have a great night last night, if this is his last game. Really seemed to shy away from taking a hit an alligator armed a few. I don’t recall him doing that throughout the season, so maybe just a bad game.

Will be missed for sure. We will have fond memories

The entire offensive mentality needs overhauled. I assume that comes with a new veteran OC, need a slam dunk hire.

The “limit possessions,” slow, plodding, lack of explosion deal on offense needs to be thrown in the trash can. It only ever made sense if they were doing it to keep them fresh and would turn it up when the time came. That was the bill of goods we were sold.

Turns out it was all BS. So… what was the actual reason for lack of explosives with this talent? What was the reason for playing so miserably slow and limiting your possessions so severely? These are all questions that need answered, and addressed, and I presume a new playcaller will be the first domino to addressing them.

We were never going to utilize his best skill anyway. Hopefully he goes out of conference and not to someone like Indiana or something.

Very intrigued with what we do. Starting tomorrow the portal officially opens and you have to think we are going to be adding kids within this first week.

On defense you have to add 2-4 kids with two being can’t miss starters. I’d argue you need to add potentially a LB and a Safety too. I know they like the safety kids but if there’s someone out there better than what we have we need to add someone that can make up for the drop off of Downs.

I’m in the minority here in this but I think we need to add another WR or two. This offense returns everyone next year so imo make it unfair to teams. Imagine rolling out Smith, Innis, Coleman and then adding Chris Henry to the fold. No one has the CB depth to stop that.

The more I calm down from yesterday the more I think we are going to be fine on the OL. IMO you move Moore to starting LT and push Austin inside.
