i think youre missing my point a bit….he really didn’t have any need to come to OSU except to develop and get better. He got bypassed on the chart but has been a good teammate. This is a kid who could’ve just entered the draft and made decent money as a 2nd or 3rd rd draft pick. He came to...

Onianwa may not pan out at OSU, but I’m not giving up on him yet. OSU took a flyer on him, and he took a flyer on coming to OSU when he could’ve stayed at Rice and likely been a 2nd rd pick. Blocking schemes were completely different and he needed to change his body composition. Everything...

There are so many studs in the portal that could be instant impact players at OSU without breaking the bank… I put a lot of trust in Mark Pantoni, so let’s give him some space to work…..I hope. His job is more important than ever before. I’ve got a list of incredible players that produced at...

This one actually hurts me more than most… This is the type of situation where you expected the id to wait and develop because you took a chance on him. It backfired and the time spent on him isn’t necessarily a “waste” but it makes the program wonder if they need to bring in developmental...

I dont think it’s weird….i don’t have specific knowledge in this situation, but I’m telling everyone…..this position has been secured for next year. Just be a bit patient….will be known soon.

I strongly disagree.

Well, yeah…. He missed (2) TD throws. Max Klare over the middle after he underthrew Jeremiah Smith on the deep ball (that should’ve been a TD as well but I digress) and he missed Carnell Tate streaking down the middle bc he came off him to early and dumped it the RB instead. And I’m not...

I mean, agreed. I think it’s pretty well known Leavitt is going to one of three schools, depending on Dante Moore’s decision. KY is a solid first visit because they’ll come heavy knowing they aren’t a serious contender unless they make a MASSIVE offer by NIL standards. It’ll be nice to walk...

I think what Indiana and Miami exposed though, is OSU may be more talented in nearly every position group, but all it takes is a defensive line to wreck the efficiency if the offensive line cannot hold up….and once they offensive line cannot hold up consistently, it dramatically effects our...

Lolz…..I mean, I guess it’s smart. Just get a huge bag on the table to start with so you can set the bar with the real players.

I think the variable at play here though, is protecting a weakness (in this case the offensive line) by going uptempo to slow down a pass rush. There’s definitely a “balance” IMO. We didn’t find it in time this year… I’d also state, of the teams remaining, all mix in variations of tempo...

I’m not ever sure about this anymore….at least in regards to reps for backups. Our local reporters are even commenting on the potential negative recruiting aspects of it. Kids want to play….if OSU wants to minimize STARTER reps to keep them fresh, I get it. But when we’re up 30 on Ohio...

This is the exact type of player I referenced in a different thread…I’m sure he’d be good under the new DC, but this is a kid who has been learning how to play in a specific system (Ravens defense) and ready to step in as a leader and tackling machine. I can’t speak to the similarities of the...

I mostly agree, but thought Miami showed right off the bat, we weren’t going to win with efficiency. Once Rueben Bain wrecked our offensive line, IMO, you have basically now conceded the efficiency game on that side of the ball. I touched on this in another thread, but the problem with going...

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but watching a ton of bowl games, it’s wild how many good kickers there are at lower level teams. Dudes just knocking kicks down from 50+ with relative ease. I have to think we’ve got something lined up here…
