Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

We had the ball 4 times in the red zone in last year's game and only came away with 10 points. Feels like the offense sputtering in the red zone and settling for FGs has been a big problem against them lately. We have to punch it in the end zone.

QB Lincoln Kienholz (National Champion, transfer to Louisville)

RugbyBuck
There's no way he stays another year if it's about football and as much as I love tOSU, I left a PhD fellowship to go to law school somewhere else. A tOSU degree means a lot in Ohio, but if he wants to live where he grew up, it makes sense to transfer back there and make some noise for them.

On the football side, Sayin has just given TSC and tOSU the Death Star plans for what the right young player can do in his first year. TSC will be the backup next year and take over the next.

2025 tOSU Defense Discussion

I really hope, and expect, that MattyP has saved some magic for Underwood and The Game that hasn't been on film and I think we've got the spies in Reese, who's been relatively quiet lately, and Styles to keep him in check on the ground.

I think it's less about Underwood and more about all the different things they do to confuse gap soundness and run the ball.

I think you see something similar to what Penn State did and they come out and try everything known to football (formations, personnel groups, motion) to run. I don't think they will get away from it even if you stop them until they are down by more than 2 scores and in the second half.

Then you can have fun with Underwood but they aren't going to stop being themselves. They know Patrica's defense is too much for Underwood to drop back, read correctly and throw against straight up. Run to keep the OSU offense off the field. Run to set up the pass and protect your freshman QB. Run, run run.

Kelly's attorneys say that the legal wrangling and confusion have made it difficult for Kelly to pursue open head coaching jobs in college football. There are currently nine vacancies in the power conferences, with others expected to open as the coaching carousel begins after the regular season ends this weekend.

If Ohio State can get another 5 turnover game from Michigan like Northwestern did to them then this won't be a close game. Hopefully Patricia has been working on a game plan for Michigan all year to confuse Underwood like he did with Arch and Texas.

Less important than confusing Underwood is stopping the run.

Listening to the Doug and Bill podcast this morning because naturally I’m not nervous enough for this game.

They rewatched the last few season TCUN games and they made some good observations. The last few seasons we have set up the first touchdown of the game with bad turnovers. In 2023 TCUN scored on a 9 yard touchdown drive and in 2024 they scored on a 2 yard touchdown. They also laminated bad drops early in both games that would’ve gone for first downs but instead we have to punt as well.

That’s really the keys for this game isn’t it? Don’t turn the ball over and just make the routine plays. As long as we don’t help them out we are very likely going to win the game.

On the flip side, if we have a turnover early in the game or we are making unforced errors with things like drops and drive extending or drive killing penalties that’s a sign to buckle up.

It goes into the narrative of "don't play their game."

They are a team built to win 1st down and then manage 2nd & 3rd on both sides of the ball.

So win 1st down and run some tempo on them. It will catch their big guys on the field and then run their fat asses ragged with a base personnel group like USC did a lot of.

The single biggest advantage between any two units on the field this Saturday will be OSU passing game vs tsun defense. DO NOT give that away. Use the run as a change up. Fuck the most rushing yards and fuck balance.

Exploit your advantage.
