I could almost see this ending up like Tommy Tuberville at Cincinnati

Yeah the DFBIA might not have come to grips with it yet but he was brought in to be a stabilizer of the program, mostly off field, and nothing more.

I guarantee they had to not only over pay him, they had to contractually guarantee him he wouldn't get fired for on field performance.

He's going to steer them to their historic norm of 3-4 losses a yeat, AT BEST, and the fans bitching will have no impact whatsoever. The administration brought him in for a purpose and that isn't to be another win at all cost-NC or bust-where's my Connor Stallions- blaze of glory guy.

He's there to keep them on the rails, keep the money flowing and win what he can (which won't be a lot with that offense and that QB).

I also got a 9.

if y'all really want to piss off the SEC, you could change the school name to "the William Tecumseh Sherman University". We'll even give you a deal on licensing "the".

Ryan Day Radio Show:​

On Arthur Smith​

• Day said he’s enjoyed working with Arthur Smith so far.
• Day said Smith has been crafting a great game plan for Texas.
• “He knows what he’s doing. He’s really good schematically. He’s good with the guys. The calls come in quickly. He can identify what’s going on in game. It was a good start.”

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don’t remember reading or hearing about Day ever having said this about Hartline - regarding the calls and schematic quality

Daniel's does have a beef with Simmons because of Simmons running his mouth last year with the name calling. Hopefully that will serve as extra motivation in his prep this week.

That shouldn't matter if he is truly focusing on his own job, the amount of times he gets beat is not up to (my) elite player standards. heck i called him names all last year lol

Ryan Day Radio Show:​

On facing Texas on the road​

• Day said there will be “an electric environment” in Austin on Saturday.
• Day said Ohio State’s coaches and players have been waiting for this game for a long time.
• “I think we’re all fired up to get down there.”
• Day said Ohio State’s players just need to do what they’ve done in practice this week and win the game in the fourth quarter. He said that’s not simple, but it’s necessary to win on the road against a premier opponent.
• Day said Ohio State benefited from playing Ball State before Texas because the Buckeyes were able to “flush out” some early-season mistakes against the Cardinals. Day said his team is fresh coming out of the Week 1 win.

On playing depth against Ball State​

• Day called Ohio State’s win over Ball State “a good start.”
• Day said “we need everybody” against Texas, from the starters to the scout team.
• Day said the Buckeyes “will have to play depth in this game, no question.”
• On his goals entering the Texas game
• “The No. 1 thing here in this game is we got to win the game. Period.”
• “There’s so much involved with this game… but at the end of the day we got to get on that plane with a win.”

On Ohio State’s freshmen class​

• “There are some young freshmen here that I’m really high on. I love the look in their eye. I like the approach that they have. The future is bright with this class. Fired up to see where this goes by the end of the year. Where we are now with them is not where we’ll be midway through the season or at the end of the season, but bright futures there.”

On using the Texas game as a measuring stick​

• “Where are we? Where is this group right now? We want to prove where we are right now. It’s an important game for a lot of reasons. That’s the first thing we got to make sure everybody recognizes in the entire program. This is an important game for so many reasons. We have our goals, and one of the goals is to win the national championship. We know that. There’s no question that this is an important game, first off to get there, because this is not the same as Ball State when the CFP looks at it, so that’s important, and then the other part of it is the seeding in the end.
• “We all know that this is a nonconference game that is gonna have a major impact (on the postseason).”
• “We’ve been hard towards it, and obviously we are gonna get great feedback coming out of the game.

On Julian Sayin and Arch Manning​

• “They worked really hard to get to where they are right now.”
• Day said Ohio State vs. Texas will be much different because of the experience Sayin and Manning have now compared to last year.
• “Both now have a lot more experience going into it.”
• Day said he learned that Sayin has composure after Ohio State beat Texas in the season opener last year. “He’s in a different place now than he was last year.”
• Day said Arthur Smith is “excited about where we are” with the offense, largely due to Sayin’s leadership.
• “This is the first start in becoming road warriors this year.”

On how film helps his team prepare​

• When asked which position group watches the most film, Day said every Ohio State player is responsible for watching film. The more film a player watches, the better prepared they’ll be for the game.
• Day later said the quarterbacks probably watch the most film as a group, but some players from other positions watch a lot of film, too.
• Day said watching film helps players anticipate instead of react.

On the extreme heat in Austin this weekend​

• Day said Ohio State’s nutrition and sports science staffs have been helping the Buckeyes prepare for the intense heat expected in Austin this week.
• “We’ve spent time preparing for it the best you can without making it a bigger deal than it is. We just got to go play football.”
• Day said Ohio State’s players need to be hydrated and prepared for the game.
• “At the end of the day, it’s gonna come down to football. It’s the same for both sides. Yeah, we’re gonna have to play some depth early, but other than that, it’s gonna be like any other game.”

On Devin McCuin​

• Day said McCuin “has really had a nice preseason and done a really good job.”
• Day said McCuin has earned his teammates' confidence because of how he performs in practice.
• “We’re gonna need him.”
• Day said McCuin has put himself in a position to be “a key contributor” for the Buckeyes. Given the attention Texas will direct toward Jeremiah Smith, Day said Ohio State will need a big performance from McCuin.

I'm just an unfrozen caveman and your science confuses and frightens me.

i’m looking at his math problem that he’s calling science and just praying i don’t somehow end up taking Latin as a foreign language.

Washington St

Lmao, they said that scums longest run of the game vs Western was called back due to holding.... by Bruce fucking Underwood! What other QB is so inept and selfish that he can even ruin his RBs best play of the day.? Shitbag.

Jeremiah dropped his first catch (which also would have been a TD).

Chris dropped 2, ergo, he'll be twice the player as JJ.

It's freaking science JWins!

I think even more shocking about Underwood looking so bad, is the run game being so bad. Thats been the strength of scUM forever, and it arguably was the worst I've ever seen.
And imo, Underwoods legs were supposed to help the RBs similar to what Dampier did at Utah. And you're probably right, the staff doesnt feel confident with Underwood. But the fact they couldn't get Marshall and Hiter going should be terrifying for that staff.

And if Ffrench was a bag chaser, he'd stay at UT. ScUM isnt paying or offering more than UT. He was the guy wanting the Lamborghini deal if I recall when OSU was recruiting him. ScUM is getting him a Mustang or Charger

I'm assuming he left Texas because they didn't see enough out of him to assure him more money, he went to scUM 100% to secure another pay day.

I think the OL is a legit issue for scUM. They got pushed around all game by WMU. I know we had some struggles with Ball State but at least we were able to open it in the second half, scUM was getting dogged by WMUs DL all 4 quarters. It's going to be hard to get the running game going with a struggling OL when defenses can just tee off in the box because Underwood is of zero threat to beat them with his arm or legs.

I see Elly is getting himself warmed up to his future home this week. Nice
