What plays in Buckeye History rank with the Scoop ‘n Sawyer, aka The Texas JackSaw Massacre?

I know it was a losing effort, but Sawyer's end zone pick in the SCUM game last year was genuinely one of the most incredible plays I've ever witnessed.

Still pisses me off this play resides in a L......FUCK

SF/PF Devin Royal (Official Thread)

Devin doesn't look quite comfortable at the 3 right now. Time will help him acclimate. Keeps looking toward the paint, but he'll recognize that playing outside will give him a better look at the angle of the shot, and subsequently the angle of the rebound, and where he needs to go. Expect him to get some mid-range jumpers.....Still glad he's a Buckeye.
I think he is better suited for the 4 for sure; however, who would OSU start at the 3 if Devin were the 4? That's the problem, there's no obviously better option because you don't want to put a non-scorer out there. Somehow we managed to lose a strong starter at SF and not add another SF in his place, which is bizarre. I realize maybe they had some hope for Puff Johnson, but it's still wild to me that they lost a very good player in Parrish and didn't have a better plan than slim/no chance Puff and Devin Royal changing positions. I could still see Devin sliding down to the 4 possibly if they play a lineup with Bruce & Mobley & mix and match with White or Cupps against smaller, quicker teams.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Okay, so Devil's Advocate here...
Which is more impressive for a conference?
- One great team that wins everything, plus a couple of "good" teams that get in the playoffs. 3 teams in the playoff, total. One with a first-round exit, a second with a second-round exit. The third team wins the championship. You got MAYBE one more that some people claim should have been in the playoff, but no one takes them seriously. All the other teams in the conference play football like they hate the smell of their own farts.
- A bunch of "good" teams that get in the playoff. Let's say 5 teams in the playoff. One with a first-round exit. Two with second-round exits. And the last two with a third-round exit (semifinals). No teams get to the finals.

You gotta think like a SEC SEC SEC! hack here. Postseason results may only be used to point out strength when the SEC does well. If the SEC does not do well "you can't judge them based on the postseason!"

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Champion)

@charlohiottean I didn’t want to post this in the MP thread. But the Sayin/Brees comparison has been a real one for a while. And him working out with Brees just made the comparison stronger

Ohio State DC Matt Patricia compares QB Julian Sayin to an NFL legend and his similar run in the Big Ten

Patricia's comparison holds up in more ways than one​

While Julian Sayin may currently be one of college football's best players, Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is also comparing the redshirt freshman quarterback to one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time.

Patricia, a longtime NFL coach who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, said that Sayin reminds him of a fellow Big Ten quarterback who went onto enjoy a Hall of Fame NFL career.

"Very efficient, really good leader, smart with the football," Patricia said of Sayin on the Downs 2 Business podcast. "He's doing a good job of getting the ball out to those guys, too. So maybe that's a young Drew Brees. Maybe that's where we're headed with it."

From a numbers standpoint, Patricia's comparison holds up.

During his three seasons as a starter at Purdue, Brees led the Big Ten in completions three times and in completion percentage on two occasions. In his first year as Ohio State's starting quarterback, Sayin is currently pacing the Big Ten in completions and completion percentage.

Sayin, who has completed a staggering 80.9% of his passes this season, is on pace to set a new NCAA single-season record for completion percentage.

Both quarterbacks parlayed their individual success into team success. During his senior season (2000), Brees led the Boilermakers to a share of the Big Ten title and the school's first trip to the Rose Bowl in 34 years. In fact, it was a 64-yard, game-winning touchdown pass from Brees against the Buckeyes that season that spearheaded Purdue's conference championship. It also contributed to the end of John Cooper's long and largely successful run as the Buckeyes' coach.

This season, Sayin has helped the defending national champions get off to a 9-0 start entering Saturday night's home game against UCLA. Last week, against Brees' alma mater, Sayin completed a whopping 81.8% of his throws for 303 yards with a touchdown and an interception while helping lead the Buckeyes to a 34-10 win.
