2025 tOSU Defense Discussion

If you would have told me we'd give up 30 points total on defense in the last 2 games and lose both games I would not have believed you
Yeah kind of unreal. But the offense just wasn't clicking and running an offense at a snail's pace exacerbated the issue whenever a mistake was made. Poor OL play, injuries and subpar play from Sayin all contributed to that. The defense more than did its job and really would have looked even better imo with above average play from the offense.

OL Toby Wilson (National Champion, Asst. OL Coach USF)

Former Ohio State Wide Receivers Coach Brian Hartline Hires Former Buckeye Wide Receiver K.J. Hill, Offensive Lineman Toby Wilson at South Florida

Brian Hartline is infusing some more Buckeye flavor to his first coaching staff at South Florida.

The former Ohio State wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator, now head coach of the Bulls, has hired former Buckeye wide receiver K.J. Hill as an offensive analyst and offensive lineman Toby Wilson as an assistant offensive line coach.

Wilson is the son of former Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and played for the Buckeyes for four seasons after walking on to the team in 2021. He served a depth role during his entire career, playing 12 snaps as a senior in 2024. He'll work as an offensive line assistant under USF offensive line coach Mike Sollenne, who worked as an assistant offensive line coach at OSU from 2022 through 2024.

2026 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Think of it this way. Right now the top 4 get a useless bye, then we get 2-3 P4 first round games and 1-2 games against G6 teams. If we go to 16 and 1-2 are G6 then instead of a bye the top seeds get a warm up game and we get 6-7 P4 first round games. I’ll take it.
And I always though that a coach liked a bye before playing a very good team since it gave his team the advantage of having 2 weeks to prepare.

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

I certainly get that Gee was effusive about the Schottenstein's contribution to the bball edifice, was very deserved. Also am skeptical about Bjork NOT capitalizing on naming rights, and tossing away potential millions to add to the Athletic Department's coffers. Back then, nobody could have foreseen that the venerable Schottenstein's would have taken one of their flagship companies into bankruptcy/insolvency, etc. Someone, somewhere must have built a clause or three into the contract (there's a contract for everything, folks) forseeing the 'what if' stuff that could happen. And finally, wait until we get a scoreboard that does more than share who's on the floor, making points/fouls, etc. Maybe it'll sell popcorn as well. PS, always hear about the 'new' scoreboard etc, but I'd like to hear what enhancements are being added/included. Feels like technology gone nuts....

USC Trojans (official thread)

Ex-TCU coach Gary Patterson joins USC as Lincoln Riley's DC

Longtime TCU coach Gary Patterson has agreed to become Lincoln Riley's defensive coordinator at USC.

USC announced the deal Friday with Patterson, who was part of the College Football Hall of Fame's 2026 class announced this month, recognizing his four-decade coaching career highlighted by 22 seasons as the groundbreaking head coach of the Horned Frogs. He is one of just four coaches to win The Associated Press' Coach of the Year award twice.

"As a Hall of Fame coach who is one of the game's most highly regarded defensive minds, he brings a wealth of success and experience to our program," Riley said in a statement. "His impact will be immediate, elevating our defense and strengthening the culture we've built."

P Brady Young (Official Thread)

Young, a native of Perrysburg, Ohio, began his career at Cincinnati after graduating high school in 2021. He redshirted that year and spent four total seasons with the Bearcats, but never appeared in a game. He transferred to Houston Christian ahead of his fifth season, seeking an opportunity to start at the FCS level.

In his first year as a starter with the Huskies in 2025, Young averaged 41.8 yards per punt across 69 boots, with 17 punts downed inside the opposing 20-yard line and 12 that traveled 50 yards or more. He had one punt clear 60 yards, a career-long 66-yard boot against Northern Colorado on Sept. 20.

Just sayin':
1. Anybody know how he qualifies for a 6th year? Doesn't the year at Houston Christian count?
2. Yeah, he'll get to compete for P1; however, I'll say the coaches just picked him up expecting him to be the back up punter.

Competition is really important here; this at least forces McGuire to work harder and hopefully improve some.
