Honestly my biggest worry, for the entirety of the playoffs really, is if the offensive brain trust loses their minds when crunch time comes. As poorly as the OL played against Indiana, they still adjusted towards the end and played well enough to mount a few long drives. Then 3rd and 1 came lol. Miami's defense line is very good but from what I know about them, their secondary is mediocre. I think OL protects Sayin long enough to complete a few long bombs and that might be enough.

Yes. Miami is likely better than IU up front but the IU back 7 is far better than Miami. Give Julian time and we should be in business.

I want to see urgency from this staff on offense. If we are winning 28-7 then by all means go for a 8 minute drive. But if it’s 7-0 in the first I don’t want to see a 9 minute drive which ends in getting stopped on 4th down inside the 5 or a field goal attempt.

Pedal down man. Snap the ball with 15 seconds left, get up to the line without a huddle, and just go.

The aTm OL started it by talking about him in an interview. Bain finished the conversation. I have no problem with it, he and several other aTm players ran their mouths and couldn’t back it up.
I hate them for thinking that theyre in anyway in the same sentence of the great Miami teams. The only similarities are the colors. The last time Miami beat OSU it took OSU being down their starting QB, RB, WR and DE. Miami ain’t Indiana, closer to Illinois, they are in for quite beating

Still doesn't change the way he went about it. Fuck him, fuck Miami, and fuck Cokehead Irvin.

After the performance by the OL last time I suspect the OL wants to redeem themselves. Add that with knowing their DL is their strength and without a doubt I expect their best in 9 days.

I also think the staff isn’t going to just drop back and keep Julian stationary too. They’re going to start moving him, and certainly calling plays that aren’t as long developing. Unsure why but there were a ton of long developing plays vs IU.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

No this shit should be variable, realistically it should be 4 maybe 5 this year. We’re gonna end up with 4 more game like Aggy vs Da U and OU vs Bama. None of those 4 teams belong in the playoffs

You’re not wrong, but top tier college football is a professional sport now. So the only metric that matters for the playoff team selection process is maximizing television revenue. The playoffs are going to expand to at least 16. We’ll be lucky if it doesn’t expand beyond that. If you think it’s bad now, wait until private equity gets involved.

Ohio State vs. #12 North Carolina (in Atlanta), Saturday Dec. 20, 3pm EST, CBS

This was probably the best we've looked all season and really thought we were going to pull out the W. UNC looked pretty good but I think we're still figuring out our identity and the right guys to get the minutes they should be getting. This would have been really good for the tourney resume, but the real work is still going to be in B1G play and not losing games we shouldn't lose/pulling off a few wins where we're not favored. I have way more optimism about that happening than the past few years or so.

It's funny how crazy football stats are now. People, myself included, complain about the running game. Oh, so what were the running back's stats? Like 500 yards on 3.5 yards a carry?

Oh, no, he got 1000 yards on 6 yards a carry

Rewatching The Game, I think he's primed for some big plays. We're sure as hell going to need to run the ball against them even though their defensive strength is up front. Then again, they're probably about the same as ttun's front 7 and we took care of them for the most part.

Great write up. Only differences I would have is a narrow pure decision for Davino, same for Mendez over Echemendia, Elam only gets a major decision at 197, and Paddy loses at 165 by decision (that one is a pure toss up to me, but he could be riding momentum from the earlier matches if we start hot). So I would have team score at OSU 23 - ISU 13 (check my math on the score).

There are some definite toss ups and it's a great match on paper, hopefully we get on the momentum train like the Iowa dual and don't look back. Looking forward to tomorrow!
