QB Kirk ‘Nightmare On’ Herbstreit (Frosted Quips, False Narratives Clown, Afraid of THE Lunatic Fringe)

Straight down the middle independent. I like to stay out of politics and not have an opinion on the matter. Doesn't matter the politicians I follow on X - I don't know how they got there. One of my sons runs my social media posts. Etc., etc.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

This is a rebuilding year. You ain't nothing special until you prove it on the field.

Day should have been lowering expectations before the year. He should have reacted to a #1 ranking with some questions in public and challenged his players to own it quietly. There is a LOT of talent on both sides of the ball, but the team lacks battle hardening as units and have inexperienced cogs in the wheel this early in the season. Day could have managed public expectations much more strategically so that Ohio State didn't walk onto the field in Texas with so much to lose and much less to win.

The beginning of that game gifted Ohio State two scores, in large part. Day should have told his team at half time that the game was not won and that they needed to come out winning. Pre-season, we heard was that Julian Sayin was leading the team and performing at a higher level than ever. In truth, he performed well below expectations in the 4th quarter when the pressure rose. We could say the same thing about the defensive line.

Perhaps I am wrong, and I understand and agree with the central premise, but Coach Day needs to rethink his strategy of cutting the number of plays to save his players for the final championship run. We all know that he has stud ponies that want to be ridden but rotating more players on the field accomplishes the same player health goals. If there aren't more players ready to play, even in a rebuilding year, then recruiting and readiness strategies need attention.

This is a disappointing loss because of the way it happened. Championships are still on the table, but so is the possibility that they roll into The Game with three losses.
All good points but I don't think he was really limiting the number of plays against Texas like we saw last year. They DID rotate a lot of players trying to keep guys as fresh as possible in the heat.

2027 OH RB Jordan Hall (Miami, OH Decommit, Verbal Offer)

Looks like Lakota West has a box score available with stats.

Jordan Hall: 13 carries for 83 yards and 2 TDs. 2 receptions for 27 yards.

Looks like they gave the long rushing TD to the QB Torbert, but I noticed conflicting info on Twitter indicating it was Hall. We'll see if that gets corrected.

For instance, this outlet is crediting Hall with 3 TDs:

Week 3 Game Discussion Thread

Just sayin': Miami looked unbeatable in the 1st half; however, they actually looked mediocre in the 2nd half. Wake Forrest outscored Miami in the 2nd half. Wake Forrest actually had several chances to score more TDs in the 2nd half (which could have won the game); but they just "blew it". In addition, most the the official's calls seemed to go against them too.
Yeah I was beginning to think… haven’t I seen this movie just recently?
