Be careful with that week old gas station sushi.

They won’t get rid of CCGs, but I don’t think the better seed is usually going to make up for the extra wear and tear right before the playoff.

Hoping for this to happen. Hinzman was playing well at guard and his experience at center is valuable, but him starting there puts the OL and offense at a disadvantage. Hopefully Padilla can be ready in a few weeks. The depth on the OL isn't there (although OSU has rarely had great OL depth...

Outside of games in which there were injuries where backups had to play, backup QB playing time hasn't changed much in the last 10+ years. Playing backups to prep for injury and next year remains a luxury. 2001 - not sure how to divide the snaps so leaving this one alone 2002 - 31 attempts 2003...

Also mentioned in Kelly's thread, how do people feel about Gatech or ASUs OCs?

If I was optimistic about a replacement and they weren't already shuffling so much around I could see it. Still time with the break.

@Mike80 mentioned giving Padilla a chance at center. With the lead up I'd rather see this and move Hinzman back to guard where he appears to play much more naturally. They're not winning anything with the current OL. Don't blame the guys, they're in a tough spot, but the center and the left...

Outside of Hartline, do you have any names in mind? Not asking as a gotcha, moreso because I don't have a long list of OC candidates I know of. One name I was thinking of is Buster Faulkner (GaTech OC). Wouldn't deviate far from some of what Kelly's system but should have different ideas and...

Nows the time with weeks to reset.

They tried Hartline in '23 and he wasn't up to the task. If he was ready to take over from Day he would've this year. They need a real OC to replace Kelly. No idea why they didn't try more hurry up, it doesn't make sense. I don't think coaches randomly have their brains fall out during games...

I see what you mean. A better planned transition would've been good.

I'm 100% fine with hiring whatever dipshit coach people were making fun of a month ago. Go get Campbell. If he makes this team and program better, I'll happily eat crow. If he fails and turns OSU into a 9-3 program with worse recruiting while maybe beating Michigan, I'll be depressed but...

In his profile "Michigan State Student “Athlete” | 3x Deans List | “The Face of Michigan State” | Satire"

Why? I get raging at Kelly, but why does anyone want Hartline at OC? He's a star recruiter and developer, not a coordinator. Nothing that happened in '23 gave me any notion that he's the future at OC.

I don't think he was every ready in '23. Specifically against Purdue he was calling some plays but wasn't doing it quickly enough. At one point you can see Day lose it and say something like "give me the fucking sheet, I'll do it." Maybe he's ready now, but the answer isn't hoping he is. If you...

Just to note it, I wasn't asking to be a dick, I was trying to think of years that I had forgotten. If you include '02 and 03 you obviously have some of the best DLs OSU has seen, but the '03 OL and running game was worse than anything we've seen since. I'd argue that '06 was more finesse and...

Honestly, which Tressel OLs were great? I keep hearing about his great OLs and run game and the OL was almost always a mess and the run game took the whole season to gel. And I'd argue his DL dropped off after Cooper's players left. Disagree about the players, agree on the coach.

Right and Tressel was only competitive on a national stage with Cooper's players. If we're looking at it the same way, as the talent and mentality of Cooper's players filtered out, they were replaced by Tressel's players who got blown out in every big game and could only hang their hat on...

I think it was the perfect time to move on from Meyer. He was slowly losing his grip on the program and numerous position groups and coaches were failing. I want Campbell nowhere near this program. What makes you think he'd be able to win 10 games every year? Or recruit. It's definitely part...

People wanted Knowles' head on a pike 5 weeks ago. Now he's HC material? And Hartline is not OC material. That experiment fizzled out midway through last season. People must have short memories wanting guys that were considered dead men walking a month ago. The change needs to be total, and it...
