Is this for real?

Would hate to see him go but he’s been playing now for 10 years, his body has been through hell (And that’s not counting his collegiate career).

I'm at the point now where I'm not quite as invested in college football as I used to be. Feels really stale now with all the changes. Doesn't help that we laid an egg at the end of the season.

I think it’s exciting. I think those that transferred out .. the position coach gave them what next year might be. Some will stay and bet on themselves others see the writing on the wall and move on. Caleb Downs ended up one of my favorite Buckeyes ..

We didn’t think the Rose Bowl would be a blowout either though.

I don’t think it’ll matter because they aren’t beating Tech or Oregon.

They already beat the Ducks by 10 in Eugene.

Purdue's Braden Smith broke the B1G career assist record (previously held by MSU great Cassius Winston) in the victory yesterday against Wisconsin. He has a shot to break Bobby Hurley's NCAA assist record, but he will have to maintain averaging almost 10 apg and likely will need a handful of postseason games in order to pull it off.

The Ohio State men's soccer team was preseason #3. Offer some NIL money for one of those guys to come kick for the football team.

Ha! I had 9 years of soccer experience by senior year in high school with a rather powerful soccer leg. I tried being the kicker on the football team that summer. Didn't turn out really well. Kicking a football is different. Coach once said, "Well his kicks are... interesting." Went back to the soccer team after a month.

Yes actually. Both have breath taking roundhouse kicks. Sign me up for this young man. Welcome home!

Taylor still employed?

I saw some coaching summary as stating Taylor was “safe”.

Yeah I hear ya but he’s got basically no experience. Not sure you can just hope that works out,

But we’ll see what they do! We are going to have to add some veteran players regardless but it’ll be interesting to see where they think we are solid. Who knows maybe they love our safety room.

He had 1 to 2 extra games to get it.

Watt and Garrett played two games vs. the Bengals. Advantage Strahan.

Come on.

You’ve never seen a team steal a possession at the half? By holding the ball and running out the clock at the end of the game?

You can’t get more than 1-2 edge but you can absolutely choke away the opportunities for the opponent with an efficient offense.

That said, it’s more of a per play edge that does it but given the trainwreck this has turned into I’m trying to keep it as simple as I can.

We got 9 months man let’s keep this train wreck going!

Has to be either us or Miami since that’s where his previous DC is.

With Downs going in the first round and how we used him I think it’d be pretty dumb to turn this opportunity down.

I don't know enough about scheme to know whether Day's offense is outdated, but the experience of Howard, burst of Judkins and Henderson, and a stable right side of the OL was the difference between last year and this one.

Click to expand...

This.

Day's offense has ranked inside the top 4 in efficiency 6 times in the 8 years he's been primary OC & HC.

The two years it was outside the top 4 he had McCord at QB and rFR Sayin at QB.

The 6 years of top 4 he had Fields, Stroud and Howard.

I'm going to roll with "It's the Quarterback stupid" mixed with a little bit of "not all first year QB's are CJ Stroud" and not lose any sleep over Day's "outdated" offense or Sayin's eventual development

4 days into the off season and I already hate it more than the loss to Miami. Some truly epic nonsense being spewed already.
