I know one thing they will see when they self scout this month, CJ Donaldson is a damn near 100% tell.

When he's in, he's in for pass pro.

Outside the red zone, 100%. When he came in outside of the red zone the first time I mentioned that to the people we were watching with. There was one play, however, they leaked him into the soft zone like they have run with Jackson many times this year.

These PE partners putting this together don't believe in any form of win-win partnership. These are shallow, money-obsessed sociopaths whose sole obsession is with how many zeroes are in their bank account. They've run the numbers and schemed exactly how to rape the B1G schools dry and leave their rotting carcasses behind. This is stupid, and I'm sickened that Slapshot is providing zero leadership to halt it.

He's yet to show YOU anything. The truth is Diebler is starting to get elite recruits, they're just not here yet. He also did coach the team well during his time as interim coach - there was an immediate turnaround and it was a breath of fresh air compared with Holtmann coaching the exact same team. So to say there's nothing to show he's not a continuation of Holtmann is objectively false. While not a 5-star, Bynum looks like a recruiting hit, and Mobley was an OK recruit as well, so perhaps the high school recruits are becoming more hits and less misses. Holtmann never got a 5-star recruit to commit to OSU, not once. I do believe wholeheartedly that NIL has been hampering this program, and that - along with Meechie Johnson's flake-out & Ojianwuna not recovering quickly from injury - has helped torpedo Diebler's first couple of seasons.

As a recruiter sure he's clearly better than Holtmann, But as an actual basketball coach? we still see a lot of the same problems that plagued the last couple years of Holtmann going on way too often.

The advantage we have over a team like Indiana is depth. Indiana has a great first team defense. It's defensive depth is very spotty. Playing slow enabled those guys to catch their breath. Even early on, you could see their DTs sucking wind on the field. A great defense with poor depth is exactly who you should be running tempo against.

Some perspective after last night using a mix of BCFtoys (what you have done on the field) CFB graphs data (how you have done it):

SUMMARY TABLE — DEFENSIVE QUALITY (OSU SIDE ONLY)​


Team DFEI Rank DSR Rank DAY Rank Overall Danger to OSU
Indiana #3 #3 #5 Very High
Miami #7 #10 #7 Moderate
Georgia #13 #12 #17 Moderate–Low
Texas A&M #14 #15 #17 Low
Ole Miss #22 #15–20 #15 Low
Tulane #30+ #25+ #35+ Negligible
IU is far and away the best defense we will face before a possible rematch with it.

None of:
-Georgia
-Miami
-A&M
-Ole Miss
are even close.

Indiana:
best early-down efficiency
top-tier drive denial
elite finishing drives allowed
elite available-yards suppression
elite FEI stability
best red-zone constraints
best suited for OSU’s style (this is the killer)

Georgia/Miami/A&M simply cannot replicate the same "structural discomfort" IU can create.

Great data. I bet Georgia is trending upwards though over last 4-5 games. Not a shock but I think Indiana (#1 seed) and Georgia (#3 seed) are the biggest threats to OSU.

I still have confidence. I dont think our O-line is as good as it was in Ann Arbor, nor as bad as it was against Indiana. As long as they can give you just a B performance we have a good shot
Click to expand...

Performance is relative though. That's why I put that chart up there to help people be a little more confident.

Our guys played better in AA in large part because they played a weaker opponent.

Opponent strength (or lack there of) matters. A lot.

tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Would opine that many/if not all of us project what WE'd do with that kind of jingle at 18 years old. Some of us were collecting pop bottles to turn in for 5 cents to take our dolly out to a movie and popcorn. What some of these kids are getting is life-changing money. At least for an 18 year old. Times have certainly changed, and age/income level of parents certainly factors in. Certainly don't mean to imply that these kids come from homes with dirt-packed floors, but closer to that than to being transported here and there by a Bentley. Anyway, have tried to infuse with our daughter the need to invest at an early age, for her retirement (decades away), but am suggesting that mayhaps there's a larger need at home in the present.....anyway, guess trying to paint a broad-brush scenario without a ton of knowledge.....

He doesn’t get a pass because we’ve had other mediocre and worse kickers and we don’t get a pass for having had so many mediocre and worse kickers. There’s this thing called to transfer portal now and we seem to use it magnificently for most other positions. Go out and get a fucking kicker. It’s just not as difficult as we’re making it look.
