I think Urban was a little over emotional and I think Day is a little under emotional

Thanks, This looks so much better that the other one and taking out the commercials and leaving the intro and game summary is truly a better quality. Had to download this one and remove the other and watch it again after the USC game. Hope the Oregon game goes better.I decided to take the full 12GB video and clip it as well as remux it for a lower bitrate/file size while keeping my normal encoding parameters and I think it turned out pretty good. Mostly because the stupid local FOX channel had the freeze warning at the top of my feed's screen (they always do this, super annoying).

The bolded text...us following recruiting all knew OL misses would likely rear its ugly head, particularly when what we got in the Portal was borderline wasted scholarships after misses in the Portal as well. I thought this year actually wouldn't be the year that caught up to us so bad with some of the guys we had returning with Moore, Montgomery and Siereveld. But it takes 5 and a spare (or two). Case study is Miami - they cleaned up on OL in the Portal and it's no miracle they are doing so well.
A few things stand out here:
- Grady needs a lot more than 8 snaps.
- Beau dropped to 5 snaps.
- Russaw had 33.
I'd like to see 12 Russaw, 20 Grady, 11 WIlder next week.
If the LBs are going to make mistakes, and all of them are, I'd rather it be off-set with splash plays.
Alliegro and Pettijohn can change the game for you.
Pierce is not reliable enough to keep Pettijohn on the bench as much as he does. Live with the mistakes that Riley has, and weigh them against the game changing plays. A defense that has to account for Alliegro and Pettijohn might actually sweat a little in pass protection, particularly if Grady and WIlder are in front of them. If they need to lean on Russaw more on early downs, so be it, but those 4 on 3rd and long would change the complexion of the d.
Seeing zero snaps for Calhoun is something, and the kind of thing the social media trolls say Day won't do.
There's just no way around the colossal loss of Timmons. Yes the safeties need to play better, but they don't have 6 quality DBs. Virtually no one does in the NIL era.
USC won that game because OSU didn't recruit or bring an OL. Their secondary got worked a lot harder than OSU's, but they had to cover a lot shorter time.
If you had just said Fahey was fine, I would agree unreservedly. But when you say “statistically” you bring in everyone else involved in the passing offense. The drops and the poor protection resulted in the worst pass efficiency against USC by any team that doesn’t have “Fresno” in their name. So yeah, I also agree with “the team was not ready to follow his lead”. Everything before and after “statistically” is fine. That word doesn’t belongI agree “look out blocks” way too often. Fahey was fine statistically but it didn’t look like the team was ready to follow his lead. Austin mentioned cadence issue.

Who am I to judge?They guess on the hole way too often.
I saw the thread title and clicked in saying the same thing.The game we lost to Clemson? Why would anyone ask for this
Sadly, pretty much ever since the Holtmann was hired, OSU recruiting basically forgot that you really need defense to elevate the program beyond mediocrity. EJ Liddell may be the only real plus defender the team has added since then, and it's not a coincidence that there have been no Big Ten championships. Thad Matta at least understood the level of athlete you want to have to win Big Ten championships, but I'm not sure the coaching staffs we've had since his departure have ever quite figured it out. They have pretty consistently prioritized offensive skillset while devaluing strength, athleticism and physicality. Last year they at least had Bruce and Royal to bring some strength, grit and toughness, but with this group I think they've taken a clear step backwards in those areas.They are going to have to find a lock down defender. I'm no lt sure I saw one last night that could take anyone away. And we at least need to be able to take one player away
What's with this talk of America possibly being without electrical power for 90 days? Hopefully it's just an asinine conspiracy theory
I don't believe anything endorsed by any state with more livestock than people.
Hayes Fawcett? It could be something legit, or it could be a 3 star committed to Wichita State.
Supposedly the affect of the Super El Nino. Cooler and wetter in the south and warmer and drier up north.75 and sunny here in NE Ohio. And that is not a typo. This has been the best October weather I can recall in years.
yeah but then when it was revealed they were cheating, it should cure it
