I generally don't believe the past has much to do with the present in football games, but in Buckeyland they talk about the 2010 game a lot where they took down Ohio State by getting up 21 early and holding on. The thing is, that was Tressel's Ohio State team, and if you got them down by that...

I'd say Coach Meyer has spent time with Coach Holtz.

It seems to me that Ohio State owes Indiana an epic beatdown - to remind them that they are Indiana and this is football.

I'm with you but anyone can be beat, and these college coaches are really good at finding your weaknesses and exploiting them. So you get into a situation where maybe weather isn't ideal, you throw two picks and fumble twice in the red zone, you lose special teams, the other guys can get 3-4...

I guess my worry is based not on the size of the DT's but more on what they practice against and play most of their games against (spread attacks) - and it's related to the offense's ability to score. If Ohio State's offense is not limited by weather, play-calling farts, or other disasters, I'm...

It doesn't bother me that the defense gave up 2 TD's and a FG. If they do that from here on out in the reg season, I'd suspect Ohio State will win 9 more games. The Oklahoma offense is designed to move the ball, especially between the 30's, and this past week aside, Baker Mayfield can play. I...

I didn't read much of this thread. I'm sure lots has been said about Lamar Jackson and Lville. It was hard to not be in awe of that QB. The Seminoles couldn't touch him, let alone tackle him. The Card's D was playing angry. It was impressive. I think Jackson has 2 weaknesses. One, I doubt he...

Like all Buckeyes, it's great to be alive to see this team. So much talent and a speed everywhere you look. When you add in how hungry they are, you get something really special. It's a good place to be when you know you are just better than the guys on the other side. It makes things simple -...

The ONLY thing I don't like about how this game sets up is that, in relation to the CFBP, it is do or die for the Sooners. Ohio State is going to get their best shot. But offensively, Ohio State is going to find ways to move the ball and score points, and defensively, Ohio State is going to...

There is talk out there that Tulsa's D - which was terrible last year - is much improved. I'm thinking JT and crew will temper that talk. At the same time, I don't think we will feel great about our back 7 after Saturday. If we do, Oklahoma is in some deep shit.

JT is on pace to have 72 passing and 12 rushing TD's in the reg season. If he stays on that pace he has a shot at the Heisman. Lol.

I'm trying to keep things in perspective. This was a good MAC team, but Good Lord, has Ohio State ever had this many offensive weapons? Incredible - especially for a first game performance. These guys are hungry. Let's hope they stay that way. Other unique things I'm sure no one else saw...

I guess I ask too much. Lol. Last night I prepared the sacred Ohio State bean dip and put it in the cooling ark. It's good to have football season back. Why is it that the next 13 weeks will go by faster than any other 13 week segment of the year?

Having been through a few of these game 1's as a Buckeye fan, I hope that everyone is tempering their enthusiasm a little. Everyone across the country expects OSU to throttle BG, and they will by 20-40, but there will be issues. There will be breakdowns in the OL, Weber will make the wrong...

It's like I told my son when he was 14-18 - and I told him this repeatedly: "God gave you two heads. Only one has intelligence. The other one will tell you to go places you should not go. Use and listen to the one that allows you to reason."

You have something to live up to playing that position with that name. With the Man in Black in mind, the only thing his parents could have named him that would have made him tougher would have been "Sue".

Butch Jones?

The psychology is totally different if you are being given respect than if you aren't. My sense is that it is harder to start on top and stay on top than it is to climb to the top. Most coaches I know at all kinds of levels don't want to deal with the issues that come with a high level of...

The over-rated and under-rated in the pre-season polls get to their proper place by December - with the exception being that the SEC champ (Alabama in particular) gets more grace than any other conference champion. But most years you will have 5 or 6 teams competing for 4 spots - maybe as many...

No need for a confession here. I drove my pickup truck - which has a sticker on the tailgate that says, "Breathe if you hate (Block M logo)". It's evangelization in the sense that it helps educate people on the proper way to view TTUN, and it is a reproof to all of those lost souls who root...
