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

Sayin will set a lot of records here too if he comes back next year, which right now seems like it's at least 50/50 he does

I think he should come back. But he is showing a lot of growth the last 2 games. The way he climbed the pocket and threw that long TD to Smith this week was outstanding. No way that happens last year.

Game Thread tOSU at Iowa, Sat. Oct. 3rd, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

LordJeffBuck
31-14 > 42-19. The math might not seem right, but a 31-14 road win over an undefeated ranked team with a top-10 defense certainly looked and felt better than a 42-19 home win over a team that just got their asses kicked by lowly Purdue. A deeper dive into the numbers bears this out:

The Buckeye offense was slightly worse against Iowa (31 points, 484 yards, 6.6 average) than Illinois (42 points, 518 yards, 7.6 average), but that was to be expected when playing a team with a strong defense. And the Buckeyes' numbers could have been even better but for a missed field goal, some short-yardage buffoonery, and a 16-play, 55-yard drive to grind out the final 9:30 of clock to end the game.

It was on defense where the Buckeyes clearly improved:

Outside of Iowa's final garbage time drive – 8 plays for 75 yards and a touchdown – the Buckeyes held the Hawkeyes to 163 yards on 45 plays (3.6 average), 12 for 27 (.444) passing, a pair of field goals of 40+ yards, and no trips to the red zone.

It was a case of total domination that didn't quite show on the scoreboard.

In 4+ games this season, Jeremiah Smith now has 44 receptions for 823 yards and 9 touchdowns. During the 2011 season, the Buckeyes' top three receivers COMBINED had 42 receptions for 692 yards and 11 touchdowns in 13 games.

If he isn’t playing by now I doubt it becomes meaningful at any other point this season.

I’d absolutely love to look like a fucking idiot and be wrong..trust me.

And things could still change, but if he didn’t play against KSU you knew it was not going to happen at Iowa; so unless something changed fast the season goes just as quickly,

Adopting that particular song as some lame attempt to match Sloopy or Jump Around has to be one of the great self-owns in human history. Song is literally some loser feeling sorry for himself because some other cat is balls deep in his broad.

So ironically on brand it's just classic DFBIA.

Why isn't He getting any touches?

He isn’t doing Everything in practice to earn game reps. He was a QB last year, and now needs to learn how to be effective without the ball in his hands. He needs to learn how to block, read defenses, etc. OSU can’t have Sayin get destroyed because Legend couldn’t block a blitzing LB

Proof Points From Ohio State’s Dominant Win at Iowa, Presented by High Bank Distillery​

38:02

Ohio State had control of the game early on, even if the score didn't necessarily show that. Then, by the end of the game, the score seemed closer than the game actually was.

Not only did the Buckeyes take their first lead less than three minutes into the game and never look back, but thanks to that dominant third-quarter performance by the defense, OSU wore down the Hawkeyes. In that quarter alone, Ohio State had a 9:47-5:13 advantage in time of possession.

OSU ran 74 plays for 484 yards (6.5 yards per play); Iowa had 53 plays for 238 yards (4.5 yards per play). The Buckeyes won the time of possession battle, 38:02-21:56.

After a first quarter in which Iowa had the ball for 8:21 of a possible 15 minutes, Ohio State dominated the time of possession from there.
  • First quarter: 6:39-8:21
  • Second quarter: 9:53-5:07
  • Third quarter: 9:47-5:13
  • Fourth quarter: 11:43-3:17
When they needed to make an attempt at a comeback, Iowa's offense had the ball for just 8:30 of a possible 30 minutes in the second half. Ohio State certainly took advantage of the Hawkeyes' fatigue, both through the air and on the ground, as the game went on.

Just sayin': In a road game, with a very hostile/vocal crowd, against a team with an above average (actually the NCAA #1 in opponents scoring allowing only 8 ppg through the 1st 4 games....:lol:) defense; he (i.e. the offense) dominated the time of possession with "ball control" from the 2nd quarter on, especially in the 4th quarter.

Candidly, I enjoyed the strategic use of our OL jumping off-sides requiring more plays to get first downs, thereby draining the clock when we wanted. 4-fucking-D chess.
