NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

After watching several; NFL games; I became a fan of their "dynamic kickoff". It puts a premium on the kicker being able to kick the ball as close to the goal line as possible without going over it and there a whole lot more runbacks on the kickoff, etc. I think the NCAA should adopt it or something very similar.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

A lot of it is going to come down to play calling and how aggressive they want to be with Sayin. Sayin had training wheels on entire year, and for as good as Klare, Smith, and Tate were, they were all underutilized IMO…..Day opted to keep everything “safe” as can be and it minimized opportunity.

If we open up the offense even a little bit, we could see more production in terms of catches and yards from a receiver with nowhere near the overall skill of a Carnell Tate.

I’d love to see that happen because it means Day has opened the offense back up.

Training wheels cost us a NC imo. I liked the training wheels for the first 4 weeks. After that you needed to put more on him. He just looked so unprepared the last 2 games

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

WR is interesting. For me you have to decide how much value you invent for unrealized potential (especially Mylan). It's such a new era that losing the next wave of stars is painful, but if you value that, you begin comparing the newcomers against a standard that the departing WRs never achieved.

If you compare what OSU had in 25 to what they could have in 26, it's a clear upgrade, because they didn't trust Graham and barely used Porter. That has no relevance to how much they lost, but rather how the unit changes from 25.

25 Smith < 26 Smith
25 Tate > Henry
25 Porter < Jones
25 Graham ??? Guiford
25 Rodgers = Bell ???
25 Inniss = 26 Iniss

Jones, Henry and one of Guilford/Bell do not have to rise to the level of Tate as a group.

They also have to perform better as a unit with Sayin, who should have a pretty significant jump that most QBs enjoy from year 1 to 2. By the end of the year, the OL + QB were bigger factors than the WR depth. Howard had 1/5th of Julian's passing potential, but was so much more comfortable in his role in the postseason, like you would expect given their age. We just got teased with a QB that seemed to be way beyond his years earlier in 2025 (and frankly still was, just not to the level that our selfishness would prefer)

I’ll say it.

Offense will be much better.

QB is back, all starters on the OL are back (miss me with Tegra being missed), we get a more traditional TE room, RB is back, 2 of our top 3 WR are back. Then we add 1,000 yards in the portal at WR too.

I love the transfers we got. They’re elite underneath in the screen game and that compliments Smith and Henry very well.

The offense is the tip of the spear next year. They need to act like it.

If we don’t then this might not go as well as we hope.

The OC decision is paramount

Say what you want about McGuff as a coach, and both good and bad has been said, but the last timeout of the 3rd quarter he told his team both teams were tired and it would come down to toughness. The ladies responded to the challenge.

I did love that but that interview post game with Chance standing there was seriously cringe. What was that?

I think we basically held serve on the defensive side. Considering that we lost four 1st team AAs to graduation/draft, that's outstanding. I feel a lot better about the lineup and depth than I did a week ago.

There’s no doubt we are downgrading tremendously at LB. There will be a downgrade from Downs to Moore (but not to the extent we probably think). But I do think the DL will be fine and that’s what matters.

I also think we will upgrade at CB (Matthews 25 to Matthews 26), Sanchez over IGB, and Little over Styles.

The secondary should be tremendous, the DL should be versatile and strong, but it all depends what the LBs do. With who we have coaching them?

I know we will be a top 5 defense.

What a victory!!
Not to take any credit, but I turned it on when I saw @Bestbuck36 posting and the ladies were down 10. They then managed to outscore the lizards in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters. Just sayin'. (Ok, maybe I am trying to take a little credit.)
