Maybe trade Hendrickson for a solid nose tackle since his presence obviously wouldn't improve the run D much. Throw in Jermaine Burton for another good LB... They've drafted plenty of DE's lately...
Kris Jenkins, McKinnley Jackson - where are these guys? Shouldn't they be contributing by now? I don't know how Mims is doing.

Yikes, not interested in watching Joe just run all over the place to avoid getting pounded into the turf play after play all season, and the D giving up 20 yds per carry.

Jenkins doesn't know what the offense's playcall is going to be anymore?

Ohio State bans sidewalk chalking ahead of new school year

Some people said the decision is limiting students' freedom of speech.

I thought I had a picture on my phone from last year of a sidewalk chalked with "Ted Carter is a war criminal" but I can't seem to find it!

WR??

Yup

Looks like there is a big JUCO haul onto the team this year. Makes sense with all of the outgoing transfers they had. Which probably isn't a bad thing at all.

Not in a world where money drives ethics.

sons team had a great scrimmage last Thursday, varsity played 1st half - scored 4 TD's, and gave up 0 points. Could be a special year in our little town... they've got some really solid pieces, including returning a QB that passed for over 1k yards and ran for over 1k yards - got a few sophomores that play bigger than their age, pretty excited for Friday night!

LFG!

• On Leroy Roker III and Faheem Delane: “They’ve had a really good camp. Really good camp. They’re different skillsets of those two guys, they’ve competed at a really high level, they’ve taken a ton of reps. But I’m really pleased with the trajectory of both those guys.”

• Guerrieri said Styles and fellow nickel Bryce West both have the versatility to play an expanded role like last year’s nickel, Jordan Hancock, did for the Buckeyes by dropping deep into coverages to free up Caleb Downs.

His On3 NIL value is $3M/yr
He's making.. what.. $10M/yr
that's double what his first NFL contract would be if he was drafted in the first round
He probably doesn't give a crap

That's my bad....I had a typo in there but it still came across as douchey....I'll be better.

What has me confused is arch being tabbed as the best QB in college football. He might be good but wtf is that? I get it’s likely due to his name but I just don’t get that.

He’s got 4 new starters up front, lost his three best WRs and his best RB yet he’s so kind of QB gift from heaven after having played back up snaps as a gadget QB for 2 years?

I don’t get his hype and man I’m tired of hearing about Texas being a given proven thing. Why is no one accounting for all the starters they lost? They may have lost more than we have.

Bring on the hype! Plays into our hands. More pressure on the all back of the jersey player to live up to.

Sky not falling! We have a top 3-5 roster returning after a ship and tons of draft picks. Virtually zero transfers of consequence out and cherry picked studs at areas of needs. We have the best offensive and defensive player in college football on our roster. 3 blue chip QBs and more coming. Endless pipeline of 5 star receivers and our LB / secondary recruiting is very good with OL recruiting and development pretty damn solid. Also investing a lot in coaches which yields talent development and talent retention. We have everything needed to be in playoffs every year. I see the strategy. I wouldn’t think of this era like the previous 20. Oil, software, shoe, crypto, snake $ will show up, light on fire and burn out spectacularly. We are built for continuity. We’re the hunted. Don’t overcorrect or over pursue. Be balanced.

A few areas of concern, notably DL, which I believe should be a point of emphasis with our resources.

Side note, can one of you start the next Oracle, date a hot 20 something OSU co-ed and fund us some DL talent please?

They landed a top end RB talent. Hoping he is a bust but no reason to question him for taking the biggest offer. RBs are wise to take every $ as we know they have a short shelf life. With our WR / QB recruiting and development RB isn’t as big of a priority with how to split up our $ pie.
