DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

Ryan Day just dropped what should be taken as a breath of fresh air regarding Matt Patricia and the Ohio State Buckeyes​

Matt Patricia has been quite the addition for the Buckeyes.

Ryan Day’s admission regarding Matt Patricia is great news​

There’s no doubt that Ohio State head coach Ryan Day had to step in and make some adjustments with the defense down the stretch last year. It paid off for the Buckeyes, who couldn’t have played much better in the final five games of the season. This year, it’s been a hands-off approach — and that goes to show how good a hire Matt Patricia was.

“Not much,” Day said Thursday when asked how much he works with the defense. “Matt (Patricia) and I talk here and there just about philosophically what we’re trying to get done, but he’s doing a great job. He’s really the head coach of the defense, organizes it all, and he’s got a great staff with him.”

Just sayin': Well Mendoza (statistically) did have the more impressive game this weekend, i.e. 22/24, 299 yards, 4 TDs, and 0 Ints. However, concerning The Heisman, here is what I believe will happen and previously posted it in the UCLA game thread:

It could all come down to which QB looks better Sayin or Mendoza (head to head) in the B1G CCG. The B1G CCG could be "winner take all", i.e. the B1G Championship, #1 seed in the CFPs, and The Heisman Trophy, etc.

2025 Polls

ScriptOhio
The Top 10 in AP's Preseason poll:

1. Texas (25)
2. Penn State (23)
3. Ohio State (11)
4. Clemson (4)
5. Georgia (1)
6. Notre Dame
7. Oregon (1)
8. Alabama
9. LSU
10. Miami

Now after week 13:

1. Texas (25) 3 losses and won't make the CFPs
2. Penn State (23) 6 losses and won't make the CFPs... :lol:
3. Ohio State (11) 0 losses
4. Clemson (4) 5 losses and won't make the CFPs
5. Georgia (1) 1 loss
6. Notre Dame 2 losses
7. Oregon (1) 1 loss
8. Alabama 2 losses
9. LSU 4 losses and won't make the CFPs
10. Miami 2 losses and hanging onto CFP hopes by a thread.

Just sayin': Just about the only 3 teams the AP voters got right in the Top 10 of their Preseason Poll were Ohio State, Georgia, and Oregon. Alabama and Notre Dame may be in the Top 10; however, I don't think that the pollsters expected them to have the 2 losses that they currently have at this point in the season. The 2 surprise teams were Indiana (who was ranked #20) and Texas A&M (who was ranked #19); and are both currently undefeated.

Ryan Day delivers key update around Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate after Ohio State Buckeyes beat UCLA​

img_5343-320856.jpeg


Week 12 of the college football season had the Ohio State Buckeyes breezing past the UCLA Bruins to move to 10-0 on the season. Ohio State turned a 24-0 halftime lead into a 48-10 win, rotating through its depth for much of the second half and controlling the game throughout.

The Buckeyes answered the call despite not being as healthy as they’d like to be. Ohio State lacked some offensive firepower against UCLA, but it finally got the run game going with 222 rushing yards. The Buckeyes have been searching for that kind of ground success, and they found it through Bo Jackson, Isaiah West, and James Peoples.

Ohio State is taking the careful route with their star wideouts​

Before the game, it was known that the Buckeyes would be without junior WR Carnell Tate for the second straight week. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the Buckeye star is dealing with a short-term issue and is expected back soon. Tate was held out last week against Purdue after something popped up in warmups, and it appears the Buckeyes are simply being cautious.

“Decided to hold Carnell this week as well,” Ryan Day said after the game. “It gave us an opportunity to play a lot of the younger guys.”

If there’s one position where Ohio State can afford to be careful, it’s wide receiver. Year after year, Brian Hartline handpicks the players he wants from across the country and develops them at a higher rate than anyone else. Tate has 711 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on the season — there’s no doubt he’s one of the most important players in this offense. Going up against UCLA and a backup quarterback was never going to be a game that tested the Buckeyes much.

Mylan Graham stepped up and led the team in receiving with 41 yards on three catches. Brandon Inniss hauled in six passes for 30 yards, and Bryson Rodgers scored his first career receiving touchdown. Jeremiah Smith was questionable entering the game and played just over a quarter before resting the remainder of the afternoon. Ohio State took a cautious approach with Smith, who was seen limping at times against the Bruins. Despite the limited action, Smith caught four passes for 40 yards and made an immediate impact, including a highlight-reel one-handed grab.

“Jeremiah was just having a little bit of a nagging issue that we wanted to make sure we were being really smart with, as we know what’s coming down the road here,” Day said after the game.

Ohio State will be back in action against Rutgers next weekend before the big matchup with the Michigan Wolverines to close the regular season. The Buckeyes value getting to that game healthy — and they’re proving that’s the right approach.
