Ohio State vs. Grambling St., Tuesday Dec. 23, 2pm EST, BTN

In the midst of another rough stretch. Outscored 7-0 in the last 3+ minutes cutting the lead back to 12 by committing 2 turnovers, missing two 3s, and missing two layups.

But there's back-to-back 3s from Mobley and its back to 20!

There are way too many stretches game to game that are like this, it's been like this dating back to Holtmann. I know some people want to act like we have zero talent; this roster isn't the best in a national title contender type sense but it's not like MAC caliber either. I think a coach who knows what he's doing could get a lot more out of this group.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Group of Five schools belong in the College Football Playoff, but a modern Cinderella is unlikely

Why modern college football is not built for the 'little guy' anymore​

A mere mention of the term "Group of Five" makes certain sects of the college football fandom flare up. There is a seemingly eternal debate -- especially around the College Football Playoff -- surrounding whether Group of Five programs deserve the same level of access as their Power Four counterparts.

The arguments can become impassioned and are often the source of long chains of back-and-forth on social media. Make no mistake: this writer stands firmly on the side that the Group of Five needs some sort of representation in the College Football Playoff. Anything less would completely delegitimize over half the schools in the FBS.

Thanks to some ACC shenanigans, an unprecedented two Group of Five squads made the 12-team field. No. 11 Tulane suffered a 41-10 loss to No. 6 Ole Miss and No. 12 James Madison put up a good fight in a 51-34 road defeat at the hands of No. 5 Oregon. The Dukes did fall behind 34-6 late in the second quarter.

Neither Tulane nor James Madison performed terribly, even if the final scores tell a different story. The Green Wave moved the ball well offensively -- they had 421 yards of total offense to Ole Miss' 497 -- but several back-breaking mistakes prevented them from capitalizing. James Madison could have rolled over after digging itself into a deep hole early. Instead, the Dukes outscored Oregon, which kept its first team on the field for a majority of the game, 28-17 in the second half.

Moral victories don't count for much in a single-elimination format. Unfortunately for the Group of Five, moral victories are the closest it will get to College Football Playoff success. Modern college football isn't built to support Cinderellas.

Expanding the College Football Playoff field won't fix this issue. College football's postseason isn't March Madness, where a smaller team can get hot while making an inspiring run deep into the tournament.

Hatred aside, just problem solving-they'd have to clean house up to the President/BOT level and do it very publicly.

You do that and bring in a guy like Wittingham then you are on the road to "redemption" and respectability. We, as OSU fans, will never buy any of it of course but to the rest of the world, it would seem that way.
My friend who lives in SLC and attends Utes games has shared with me that Kyle is signed on as a consultant for some time. However, that doesn't mean he is limited from considering other things. Definitely sounds like it was a parting that happened due to the amount of time spent together. He didn't want to go out after last year's results.

South Florida - USF (Official Thread)

Brian Hartline attempting to flip Ohio State commits to South Florida

Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline is still with the Buckeyes, but he's trying to bring a top recruit to USF.

Well, this isn't exactly the way you want to end your reputation with the Ohio State fanbase.

After accepting a position to join the University of South Florida as the program's new head coach, Brian Hartline is starting to turn heads from the Buckeye fans that was once ever-so faithful to him.

On Saturday, Dec. 20, it was announced that Hartline had offered a scholarship to safety Angelo Smith, who committed to join Ohio State back on Sept. 21. The three-star defender had been given offers from Miami (Fla.) and Oklahoma State before choosing Columbus. He's considered to be a hard commit to the Buckeyes by 247Sports.

But with Hartline offering Smith, he may end up reconsidering where he wants to go to college.

"He taught me so many things that other coaches haven't taught me at the college level,” Angelo said of Hartline. “And when your coach knows what he's doing and teaching you, that's gonna separate you from other receivers.”
