That's interesting

JSN so close to 1800 receiving yards on the season. Hope he ends up leading the league.

Kickers man…..

Miami is going to be so pissed when they find this out later

I finally saw this game. First of all, a bit surprised Evan Turner repeatedly pronounced Devin Royal's name as "Royale" ... anyways, it really was a team effort in this game with a number of Buckeyes contributing at times offensively, and that's really critical for this or any team really. I don't think anyone here mentioned it, but Diebler strategically switched to a 1-3-1 zone defense, which pushed Rutgers guards past the 3-point arc, and it worked really well. I think certainly being able to adapt and change as necessary is vital for this team being able to win games like this. Diebler also has been pretty good at getting these guys to score out of timeouts, and it happened again in this game. Ogbole for Rutgers was a beast on the glass - very big, strong, quick and high motor - so I can see why OSU struggled with offensive rebounds against him - that being said, you don't want to give up that many offensive rebounds. I would have liked to seen Bynum in particular go a little harder on pursuing defensive rebounds. Tilly I think always is going to struggle a little bit on the glass in a particularly frustrating way, but it is what it is.

Snapping the ball faster than the defense can get set is what I mean by tempo.

The '24 offense would often hurry up to the line after a decently long play and snap the ball before the defense could make any substitutions or stunt/blitz calls, ESPECIALLY in the playoff. I can't recall the '25 offense doing that very often.

The '25 offense ran like a 1991 Ford Tempo: pretty reliable, but slow as balls.

The OL shouldn't have even been part of the discussion. They returned three starters and were projected to be a strength. Alas, as I've stated many times before, you can't run 5 receivers every play. But you need 5 offensive linemen every play. Ryan Day needs to find the OL version of Brian Hartline.

2024 also regularly false started when trying to go tempo.

And what you are neglecting is the QB needs to be comfortable with the plays to go tempo how often did this year we see Sayin walk to the line to adjust protections 3 or 4 times
