  1. 2024 tOSU Defense Discussion

    Kind of lost in the narrative is that we had four potential INTs that we did not convert on yesterday. Simon had one and Downs had three that were possible, although at least one would have taken a hell of an effort. Ewers has been prone to throwing picks all year and seems to be regressing in...
  2. Game Thread CFP Playoff Cotton Bowl, tOSU vs Texas, Fri. Jan. 10th, 7:30 ET on ESPN

    In the past two games, I don't really recall them putting together many long, sustained drives on offense. When they weren't hitting home runs, they struggled. If our corner play continues to be elite like it has the past couple of weeks, then we hold them under 20. Their defense is really...
  3. Game Thread Rose Bowl, #8 tOSU vs #1 Oregon, Jan 1, 5:00 ET on ESPN

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I totally agree. But, it definitely feels like we are seeing formations and plays that haven't been put on tape and have been specifically saved for the playoffs. That said there was still a Grand Canyon sized gap between the offensive game plan for games 1-11 and...
  4. Game Thread Rose Bowl, #8 tOSU vs #1 Oregon, Jan 1, 5:00 ET on ESPN

    I'm curious what the percentage of plays we ran pre-snap motion in the first half of the two playoff games (until they got out of hand) is versus what it was in the regular season. It really feels like Day and Kelly have been sandbagging all season waiting to unleash this offensive beast in...
  5. Game Thread Rose Bowl, #8 tOSU vs #1 Oregon, Jan 1, 5:00 ET on ESPN

    There has been a lot of talk about what we need to do better this time to win (not give up big plays to their WRs, clean up penalties and turnovers, better run success rate, more pressure on Gabriel). Here are my thoughts on what we need to replicate in the rematch. In other words, this is...
  6. Non-CFP Bowl Games Discussion Thread

    It's a chicken and egg argument which makes it indefensible in my opinion. If he doesn't think he has a 46-48%* chance of converting a yard with his offense (which based on how the game had been going, he absolutely DID have a much higher chance to convert than that), then why does he want to...
  7. Non-CFP Bowl Games Discussion Thread

    Late to the party, but did we just witness the worst coaching decision of all time by Narduzzi? 3rd and goal from one in 2OT. TD wins it. Have been rushing with success all game. Dials up a TE to DT trick play pass. Which could have worked, but unsurprisingly did not because both passer and...
  8. 2024 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

    I'm going to need you to turn over your keyboard and your lunatic fringe badge.
  9. QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)

    Maybe I am biased by the fact that I saw a much bigger percentage of his games in the stadium versus on TV, but as good as Haskins was, he was playing on easy mode in Day's offense. It felt like 30-40% of his passing yards came from hitting guys so wide open that any QB on the roster that year...
  10. HC Ryan Day (National Champion)

    By virtue of seeding, I assume that was the last of the scarlet unis for this year. I liked the look. Edit: wrong thread.
  11. 2024 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

    After all of this football, it feels like we have almost exactly the remaining eight we thought we would. ASU over Utah is biggest surprise.
  12. CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21/24, Rocky Top Massacre 42-17

    I feel safe now in saying that after seeing the other home team all win by multiple scores, I was very fearful of us choking and being (rightfully) roasted for it. Edit: And doing so in front of a lukewarm crowd.
  13. CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21/24, Rocky Top Massacre 42-17

    25% of the way to becoming a Trivial Pursuit question. "This team won the CFB national championship the first year of both the four-team and twelve-team playoff formats."
  14. CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21/24, Rocky Top Massacre 42-17

    According to frosty tips, the Tennessee fans have overrun stadium security, they are now all 100k+ fans. Not only that, the Tennessee National Guard has actually annexed Columbus and it is now part of Tennessee
  15. CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21/24, Rocky Top Massacre 42-17

    The fact that we scored enough in 8 minutes to win that game against a comparable defense says it all.
  16. CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21/24, Rocky Top Massacre 42-17

    Whatever happens the rest of the game, I am so glad we aren't facing early adversity. I have little faith that we could have weathered it.
  17. HC Ryan Day (National Champion)

    Hey guys. This thread (as well as pretty much every other thread on this site, regardless of topic) is severely lacking in people sharing their thoughts on Coach Day. What do we think his odds are at taking home COTY this year? Sorry - couldn't resist :rofl:
  18. HC Ryan Day (National Champion)

    Day’s been very vocal about his thought process on game pacing this for the entire year. He prepared for a 16-17 game schedule. Of the many things to complain about, our offensive pacing seems like an odd choice to focus on. Could we have had more explosive plays ala prior years? Absolutely...
  19. CFP Game: #9 Tennessee at #8 tOSU, Sat 12/21/24, Rocky Top Massacre 42-17

    Pissed off but in no way surprised that the CFP will have input on our game day atmosphere/music/video next week. Including Tennessee getting an intro video when they come on the field. Per Bjork today. Home field ‘advantage’ it seems.
  20. HC Ryan Day (National Champion)

    Lanning feels like Day 2.0. Will win when he should and occasionally in even matchups. Will shit bed in biggest games.
