Challenging for Day and Buckeyes for sure.

But Brian still gets my love! Watched him play, watched him ascend the coaching rank. It’s been fun. Grateful for finishing this season the right way. Let’s go get another natty!!!

Lucky we had him as long as we did.

Be grateful.

Because of a horrible rushing attack and defense.

Look at the WR for the 2021, 2022, 2023 champions.

You can win a Natty with the 2018 WR group. Just will be easier with a group like the last 5 years.

Probably worth a discussion outside the kids thread.

Days offense is built around 1) WR mismatch + 2) NFL scheme and reads. His QB's constantly find open WR's which allows 3) run game and formation to be lethal because of the WR driven pass game.

He wins per play because his WR's destroy matchups, shred coverage shells and make defenses predictable.

You can win with mediocre WR's but that is not how Day tries to win.

2018 would be an example of an elite Day passing attack with a good, but not great WR group.
Hopefully, we land somewhere between that group and what we’ve had the past 5 years.
If we can land Henry and keep Jamier Brown, we’ll be set up for the next few years.
We won’t stack talent like Hartline did but, with the right hire, we should still have an elite passing attack.

and that 2018 team wasn't a NC contender either.

This day and age the dominant WR is what the stud RB used to be. Yeah you can have good RB's but there is a difference between very good and elite. Antonio Pittman was very, very good but he wasn't Beanie Wells.

Hopefully we can stay elite at WR but there is seemingly no way we stay at the absurd level Hartline had us at.

The unique thing about Hartline was his ability to recruit studs every year, with many knowing they’d have to “wait their turn”.

Thats unusual in today’s landscape but just getting an invite to the WR room was seen as “elite”. And the development while you waited was usually well worth it.

Where OSU now takes a dip, is the standard ups and downs around WR classes and kids looking at available PT. Hartline was so good, the depth chart didn’t matter…

So that’ll kinda suck…..
