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

Ohio State @ Oregon, Thursday Jan. 8, 1030pm EST, BTN

Too late of a game to be stay up to watch on a work night but I just watched the highlights without knowing what happened and was shocked when Ohio State went from like a 3 point lead to 24 in a blink of the eye in the 2nd half.

Very nice road win I didn't expect them to get. It be nice if Ohio State makes the tournament considering Kentucky blows this year and has no shot.

2025 Bowl Upset Contest (won by Wadcutter)

Translation: "I was covered in lotion and feathers while watching Asian midget porn"
I should sue you for libel. There were definitely no feathers involved.

And, please, the website is called ‘Asian Little People Porn”. They may be shameless and horny, but they have feelings.

WR Devin McCuin (Official Thread)

They lost to Miami directly because of perimeter blocking. They grind to a 24-14 victory if they do that.

Instead Jeremiah whiffed on his man and Miami ran the other way with the pass.

This is not a murderers row of teams. A little perimeter blocking elevates them beyond Miami, Ole Miss and IU.

Yup, this team wasn't quite as good as I thought they were, but they were absolutely good enough to win it all.

Hope McCuin likes doing the dirty work, we need that energy on O.

Washington Huskies (official thread)

Agent drops Demond Williams Jr. amid QB's portal dispute​

Demond Williams Jr. has been dropped by his agent, Doug Hendrickson, in the wake of the former Washington quarterback's announcement that he will enter the transfer portal.

"I have made the decision to end my representation of Demond Williams Jr. effective immediately due to philosophical differences," Hendrickson posted Thursday on social media. "Demond is an incredible talent and we wish him and his family the best in their future endeavors."

In response to this, Williams has retained sports attorney Darren Heitner as legal counsel, Heitner announced on social media.

OL Sam Greer (Official Thread)

Given the 'apparent' lack of tOSU participation in the OL portal recruitments, are one or all of the above guys good enough/ready enough to compete at the B10 level? Always thought that QB and OL needed time to 'season' and/or learn position. Certainly OL needed time to mold their bodies, build strength, learn blocking schemes, etc before they were put into the fire. PS, Day cannot afford to have a mediocre OL enlistment from the portal this year, given last year's bust(s). And 2025's performance on the field. Surprising, since our OL went up some pretty darn good DE's on a daily basis. Go Bucks!
