HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

I was on board with the laid back efficiency-focused offense during the season, but felt sure that he could flip the switch to an attacking aggressive offense when it became necessary.

Slow pace of play is great when you’re leading but Day played himself into no margin for error with that 8 minute drive in the 4th.

I don't think they needed to go faster; they needed to convert in goal-to-go situations. Those two 7-minute drives would have been just what the Dr. ordered if they ended in seven points each. That second one, especially, would have been a perfect, back-breaking drive, with Sayin converting about three consecutive 3rd and 8s on the way to a bunch of time off the clock and 7 points.

It was obvious that Hartline had just about zero confidence in the offense's ability to pick up a yard or two with a handoff when the defense expected a run. That's a problem if he's wrong to have no confidence in it; it's a bigger problem if he's right. The only reason the slow-play, efficiency method wasn't a winner is that they weren't able to be efficient in goal-to-go situations. Maybe running some kind of hurry up inside the 20 would have helped, but if you simply can't run for 1-2 yards when the field is condensed and they're expecting a run, that's pretty limiting.

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

The more I think about it, the effort to beat TCUN and that emotional release seems to have left Ohio State flat.

I also hope that we have another place kicker. He nearly missed the first one as well. It is enough with this guy.
Yeah, I definitely think there was a bit of a scUM hangover going on. Players and coaches.

OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF)

Hart will be in Florida this week so Day said that he (Day) will get an early start on game planning. Still hoping we bring in Chip Kelly as an analyst for the playoffs.

This week? lol more like today.

Brian headed to Tampa with smile while the rest of the team is in Columbus trying to get better. I know it’s buisness, but damn…

Play Van Sickle and maybe Moore passes Daniels in practice.
The crazy thing Tshabola has it in him. There have been games where he isn't bad. But he is inconsistent, at times it appears he is either lazy, doesn't care or doesn't have that killer instinct that is especially important in a guard. Daniels may get worse when Tshabola is in and doesn't play well. Daniels will be fine.

The issue has always been Tshabola. The entire season.

They have a couple weeks to figure it out.

Notre Dame rightfully shouldn’t have got in. They played two good teams and lost both. Then they ran off 10 straight vs utter shit.

Join a conference or schedule tougher games throughout if you don’t want left out.
The only decent teams that they beat were USC and Pitt. Other than that it was a very unimpressive schedule.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I love our draw even more now that I started looking at all the numbers.

I hate that the second game would be in Glendale. Fuck me.

We could play the greater Phoenix Area Pee Wee all stars in that cursed ass place and I would expect to lose.

I'll do more later but I'd put OSU as a ~7 point fave over either Miami or TAMU. ~-3 over UGA but it will be a rock fight(just not the same kind of rock fight as last night).

Dd I mention forget all that no matter who the fuck we play in Glendale?

fuck fuck fuck
My town has not been kind to the Buckeyes. The other thing is that stadium is smack in the middle of the ghetto. There's nothing but fields and crime around that stadium. Most locals won't even go there anymore but you're likely to get robbed in the parking lot. beautiful stadium, shitty area.
