Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

Can't find it now but someone did a breakdown of the amount of seasons each Indiana starter has played and it's pretty glaring how much older they are. It's like a carbon copy of the 22-23 ttun squads. Almost every guy is 23ish years old

Just sayin': I like the "Our Lads" depth charts. It doesn't give their specific age; however, it has almost everything else. including all the players eligibility status, who is a transfer, and some stats, etc.

Re: Cortez Hankton is an upgrade over Brian Hartline.

Just sayin': A likely home run hire YES; but, even though I seriously hope he is, I doubt that he is an upgrade over Hartline.

If you think logically and this means that they are retaining Matthews and bringing in a guy like Lee it's a no brainer move for both of them.

Guys don't have to sit around and "wait their turn" anymore. In that scenario West/Scott are likely the #4 Corner at best, you really expect them to sit and be a rotational sub for another year? Not happening in any world now

Reese waited his turn. Cha-Ching.

What I’ve heard is that with Sanchez passing him, Matthew's also could return. And don’t think that he was as consistent as coaches would’ve wanted and I believe he like West expected to start, and also expected to start. You can’t demand that in this climate unless you starred in the prior year

That was a shit foul call. During the shot guy wasn't even touched didn't look like. Should have thrown his chair at the guy like Bobby Knight

It was a bullshit foul, and it certainly affected the end of regulation. That being said, college coaches shouldn't be acting like babies - that includes Bob Knight.

CB Aaron Scott Jr. (National Champion, transfer to Oregon)

Definitely sucks but generally players who transfer out never really seem to bite OSU. The only transfer that ever hurt was Jamo and he left because the current favorite for NFL Offensive Player of the Year took his spot. Day has faults but I never doubt for a minute he isn't playing the best players.

Edit: Forgot about Joe Burrow but no way he was starting over Haskins so eh.

My opinion is that Day saw his defense suck royal ass for his first 4 years of being the sole play caller/OC. Now the question is did he go that fast because he had to?

Regardless, I see a guy who, after losing The Game 2021 and almost the Rose Bowl to Utah, said screw this and changed. Nothing happens in a vacuum, he changed coordinators but he also slowed the offense down.

I see 2022 on as 4 years of his new approach with 4 different QB's.

Two are really good, one is really bad, one is bad by OSU standards.

Game Thread Ball State at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 5th, TBA

BB73
The Buckeyes open by hosting the Ball State Cardinals, a team they have never faced before.

Ball State was 4-8 in 2025. They finished the shortened 2020 season at 7-1 after achieving their first and only bowl victory that year over San Jose State, and actually finished at #23 in the AP poll. Since then they have had 5 straight losing seasons.

In 2008 they were 12-2 under Brady Hoke, who then went to San Diego State for 2 seasons before getting the head job for TTUN.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

ScriptOhio
BuckBackHome said:
When a player announces he is transferring and also says "do not contact" what does that mean?

Are schools only supposed to contact the agent?

Is the player simply wanting to renegotiate with his current school?

Has he already decided where he is going?

Something else entirely?

Crump's brother said:
From what I have gathered, it means he already knows where he is going.
Click to expand...

Yeah, that's what an article on 24/7 says about the basketball transfer portal. I'm sure it applies to football too:

  • The players can place a "do not contact" designation on their entry, which means they don't want coaches to reach out, and they must initiate contact with schools they are interested in. This is typically used when a kid already knows where he's going.
  • It can move very fast. With backchannel conversations already happening, some players will have offers lined up before they officially enter the portal. Expect high-profile commitments within days—sometimes even hours—of a player entering.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Jaxbuck said:
I'm still processing to be honest.

I do know this is the least amount of upset I have been after a loss in forever. Possibly ever.

Is that because of The Game or because of the recent NC? Little of both probably.
Click to expand...
In the same boat. Winning The Game felt full circle and I said I would be happy if the ended then, so I need to hold myself to that. And you can't win a NC every year, especially with the playoff system. It hurts because the play calling was pretty abysmal and to be immediately out of the playoffs looking as bad as we did is a big yikes.

One of the potentially bigger concerns with not making a bigger run is what we are likely to have left on the team after early departures, graduation and transfers, in addition to pretty large gaps in recruiting between us and the teams paying big NIL... the divide is going to be real starting next year imo. Seeing it in action with Miami is just the start if we don't adjust our NIL strategy, but that's for another thread.
