2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

I had a coach like you once lol… it was never the scheme or the play call. It was just a lack of execution.

Any rate, I don’t mean to bother but I’m going to settle in the middle.

Yes we need to execute but we absolutely need to be more explosive and work in some different speeds. We have to be able to do it all. You can’t just do the same thing because if you need to be explosive or faster tempo then it’s something you’re not comfortable doing.

You can settle wherever you want to.

If Team A kicks off in the first half, and Team B kicks off the second, how does 1 team get 2 more possessions? Even a fumbled kickoff is a possession. An onside kick can steal a possession, but that’s really it.

Sorry, but I’m failing to see how Indiana has 12 possession to tOSU ‘s 10 (or 10 vs. 8), but if they speed up each team gets 12 possessions.

Come on.

You’ve never seen a team steal a possession at the half? By holding the ball and running out the clock at the end of the game?

You can’t get more than 1-2 edge but you can absolutely choke away the opportunities for the opponent with an efficient offense.

That said, it’s more of a per play edge that does it but given the trainwreck this has turned into I’m trying to keep it as simple as I can.

We went into each game with the better team. You aren’t going to change your approach pre game. The process would have worked with better execution.

That is what started this complete waste of my time. You have to execute.

The reason we lost wasn’t the fucking approach. It was a lack of execution.You are continuing to conflate the results you didn’t like with the approach.

I had a coach like you once lol… it was never the scheme or the play call. It was always just a lack of execution. I always took that like he was blaming the players. Maybe the lack of execution or efficiency is because we do the same things? Maybe we could stand to be more explosive and have different speeds? I shouldn’t even say Maybe because it’s more that I know it would help.

Any rate, I don’t mean to bother but I’m going to settle in the middle.

Not if you aren’t going to score on yours. Ran into this both games back to back that ended the season.

You better score or you’re going to lose. If you aren’t going to be efficient with your possessions you’d better have more of them.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

One of the biggest decision that Cig doesn’t have to make is the one Ohio State is struggling with: Where do you invest the time and money?

That’s what this has come down to for the bluest blue bloods. Do you Jeep going after stud high school recruits with NIL bags (hoping they don’t leave in 2 years), do you just keep hitting the portal hard and tailor off on recruiting, or do you (impossibly) try to do both? It’s becoming clear that college football has changed and Cig has comfortably settled on spending their cash mostly in the portal. But for how long is this sustainable year after year?

Great point. I think it’ll workout for Cig. Looks at the remaining top 4 they’re all heavy portal teams.

Cig and others who go this route get two things. First, they skip the developmental part of a kids career. They’re getting kids who can contribute from day one. Then two, they’re spending money on players who have been there done that and often times ones who have produced.

At this point you should take note of who is committing and try to figure out what they’re doing. It seems the going rate for teams is 50-65% transfers

And they’re playing a game… Coach Cig is really impressive.

To the point where it’d just be nice if he went to Alabama for a crap ton of money.

He’s just killing it.

Thats just wrong. It isn’t an opinion thing. Look at the math I did above. Stop saying you get it. You don’t.

Thats why I used actual numbers. All of that “yeah but “ bullshit is baked in. This are the real world net points per possession. They capture how good you are on both sides of the ball.

Again, go look at the math I did above.

It’s not an opinion thing. We aren’t talking about the existence of the Easter Bunny or Santa here.

If my skill gives me a per possession edge and I can manipulate the game to get more possessions than I give you then I am going to win.

Giving the opponent more possessions is about the dumbest thing the better team could do.

They aren’t stupid, but I’m sorry I just disagree with you. I get your points but if you’re the more talented team the slower or less explosive you are the longer that team hangs around. Then from there luck has a greater chance of losing you a game.

Who’s to say we’d be less efficient if we moved faster anyway? Why would that diminish and not hold true to our current percent? Also when you have the best defense in the country for the last 3 years we can afford to push the pace or throw a haymaker or two more.
