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

It takes approximately three years to learn the Knowles defense.
Chaz will be in year two. Will be interesting to see if there's a translation.

I was thinking about the portal frequency and Knowles D in general.
If it truly takes that long to learn, then perennially, I would expect his defenses to be lower tier performers.

What year was Ohio State's best offense? What year was Ohio State's best defense?

Offense: 2014 team. After starting sort of slow (scored 34 in a win against Navy and 21 in the only loss of the year to Va Tech), they scored 42+ points a game in 13 of their 15 final games (the two they didn't were both 31-point games against Penn State and Minnesota). They scored 672 points totals for the year (44.8 ppg) and 617 points (47.5 ppg) after their "slow start".

Defense: 1973 team, and it's not even close. They gave up two TDs and two FGs total in their first eight games, and of those only one TD in a five-game stretch. I'll say that again: The defense gave up a single score in a five-game stretch. In their final two regular seasons games, they gave up 13 to Iowa and 10 to Michigan. For the regular season--10 games--they surrendered a grand total of 43 points. They did give up 21 to USC in the Rose Bowl, but their offense scored 42 points.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Just watched the Landis and Lesmerises recap to punish myself some more. It's hard to win when your coaches, your offensive line and your quarterback all shit the bed. That's how you end up with 14 points.
A lot of false positives throughout the year
