Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

Ok so people use numbers to be scary sometimes but let's think about this.

136 teams in FBS
105 players per team by rule
14,280 players
3,300 in portal now, could go up could stay flat, who knows?

That is 2.3% of the population. Sound a lot less eyeball grabbing that way doesn't it? Every team might not have the full 105? Ok, fine, fucking double it (you'd be over estimating) but let's double it.

"Over 95% of the D1 football players in 2025 are staying with their team" just doesn't have that same-whiny ass, look how bad everything is, the sport is collapsing, let's get the government involved, please click on my click bait- ring to it now does it?

MEANWHILE.....

32 head coaches changed jobs in the 136 team FBS universe.
That's 24% for those keeping score at home

but let's keep this tired ass narrative focused on the athletes that actually do the work, take the physical punishment and provide the fucking entertainment....somethings gotta be done!!! They are ruining the sport!!!

Ohio State @ Rutgers, Friday Jan. 2, 8pm EST, Peacock

Good road win! Still think Diebler needs to stick with 8 man rotation unless he needs to use the bench for foul situations. Mobley and Bynum, while they do need occasional breaks, shouldn’t spend more than 2 minutes each half on the bench. Just my opinion. While Mobley may be a liability on D at times, we get absolutely no offensive output from the couple they bring off the bench.

This was also an OL replacing 2 1st round picks and the Rimington award winner. IU and Cryami have aggressive, nasty front 7's too. Let's not overreact to the last 2 games

The chicken littles will run out of steam here sooner or later. Right now, since Ohio State didn't immediately sign the hyped up portal guys, that means the world is ending. In effect we're getting a secondary freak out from the usual elements.

OL Devontae Armstrong (National Champion, transfer to ???)

As bad as the offensive line played, everyone should’ve got a shot. Hell, Diebler plays the whole damn team in basketball. Brothers always play good together and generally pick each other up. Now, we probably lose both. This team is starting to have very little depth at a position that already underwhelms a lot!

Thanks for the chicken little take.

In the meantime, these guys have both been in the system for 3 years now and are no closer to playing now than they were in 2023. Sometimes guys just need a new start to develop and play - they weren't going to get that here. This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Indiana Hoosiers (your shinebox, go f'n get it)

Can't find it now but someone did a breakdown of the amount of seasons each Indiana starter has played and it's pretty glaring how much older they are. It's like a carbon copy of the 22-23 ttun squads. Almost every guy is 23ish years old

Not saying they'll go back to winning 4 games but this type of success is not the norm. They are almost as old as some NFL teams

Yes, he is done. We have no kicker on the roster. This makes the transfer from lat year leading kind of weird.

I dont think it’s weird….i don’t have specific knowledge in this situation, but I’m telling everyone…..this position has been secured for next year. Just be a bit patient….will be known soon.

Chaz Coleman (DE Penn St., transfer to ???)

From Ohio, family, etc… as long as the financial is in the ball park it’ll be enough imo.
Click to expand...

From Ohio means absolutely nothing in the current landscape. People need to really start accepting that and stop wishful thinking with that crutch

Would you take huge money and more promised playing time or come to Ohio State for less money and a rotational situational role? Think about that in the shoes of this kid.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

woofermazing
billmac91 said:
I think what Indiana and Miami exposed though, is OSU may be more talented in nearly every position group, but all it takes is a defensive line to wreck the efficiency if the offensive line cannot hold up….and once they offensive line cannot hold up consistently, it dramatically effects our freshman QB even when his protection isn’t bad.

In this case, using tempo can help a weakness compared to the other team (our offensive line versus their defensive line), and maximize our talent at positions where we do have the advantage (go tempo so the defense plays a “base” coverage that allows our offense to exploit our advantages more easily).

I think where the argument to play as slow as Day is, fundamentally breaks down, is when we cannot execute because we just aren’t more talented in one facet of the game. I was rolling with it until Indiana made Swiss cheese of our o-line and then Miami basically did the same thing with stunts.

I guess, IMO, I’m not cutting my nose off in spite of my face…..I feel like Day let Indiana and Miami beat us with (1) position group….i guess (2) if you count special teams. But defensive lines wrecked our season. And you can gameplan around elite defensive lines…..we just didn’t for the most part.

Defensive line depth also seems to be a big issue for every program in the NIL era, so hurry up has the double benefit of wearing those guys out, especially if they are looping around on stunts constantly.
