    RB Lamar "Bo" Jackson (Official Thread)

    There's some recency bias at play with MoC comparisons. If he'd played three seasons, he'd be our #2 behind Archie. BJ2 notched 108 and 109 in consecutive games as a freshman against Grambling and OU. That's fantastic and we definitely need it, but he's not anywhere near MoC: 175 yds and 3...

    QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

    Agree entirely. Similar to my point in the Arvell thread about the tackling angle he chose to take, the really good ones learn what they can do and what they can do in different circumstances.

    2025 tOSU Defense Discussion

    And he took a decent angle. It was still a little too inside for me, but he knows his speed and I'm thinking that he could chase Navarro down outside, but didn't want to give up the cut-back. Brah is a player. Period. Parenthetically, why did no one mention Navarro kicking at McDonald like a...

    RB Lamar "Bo" Jackson (Official Thread)

    Kid is a baller, no doubt. Acceleration and footwork are great and he seems to have some vision, too. I can't yet get with you on the MoC comparison, but I'm not disagreeing with Peoples=Lydell. CJD showed me who he is more than any other play on the reception and bullrush for the TD that was...

    QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

    I don't see anything that makes me worry. He has missed a few reads, but not lost composure. That's ridiculous for a kid this young. Buying time and throwing that off-platform TD pass to Klare accurately was a thing of beauty. A lot of guys sail that ball under those circumstances...

    LB Coach James Laurinaitis (2x B1G DPOY, 2006 Nagurski, 2007 Butkus, 2008 Lott, 3x All-American, OSU HOF, National Champion)

    The adage is that stars can't coach and there's more than a lot of truth to that. The best coaches are usually backup or (See Day, Ryan) small school QBs, not QB1s. Stars who can coach are outliers and it's statistically absurd that we have three who were Buckeye star players who are now...

    RB Lamar "Bo" Jackson (Official Thread)

    I've made this plea every year at least since Cooper. Rotation, rotation, rotation. Assuming that they earn it in practice, it seems to me like we have four of them same RB, with CJD bringing more size. No reason not to play them all early and keep rotating during the season and wearing down...

    Game Thread Ohio at #1 tOSU, Sat. Sept. 13th, 7 ET on Peacock

    Ordered Peacock for $10.99. That's a $150 savings from what we would've spent watching at the neighborhood pub.

    QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

    Of course he "didn't repeat the mistake." That was his last ball, lab partner. For fuck's sake, that's why he was 18 of 19, duh.

    WR Bryson Rodgers (National Champion)

    I think it's too early to tell. We're two games into the season with BI as a starter and the first was a limited game plan against the then #1 team and the second was a rout with the starters only playing a half. We got years of Fleming doing nothing.

    QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

    That stat line is absurd against anyone. You shouldn’t be able to go 18 of 19 against air.

    QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

    What the actual fuck? Even against Grambling, Brah just doesn’t get rattled. Loving the California vibe.

    DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

    He’s come in and installed a multiple pro-style defense, but did so by explaining and teaching it in way that the players can understand and execute it. Vivid counterpoint to an evil genius who sits in a room and schemes up how to deploy his system that requires incremental progress over two or...

    DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

    I felt like the vibe going in was that they believed in each other, and MP. Now, it's, as Urban would say, testimony not theory. The rest of the schedule better look the fuck out. This defense will be better than last year's.

    TE Will Kacmarek (National Champion)

    Um, what? Elite? He whiffed the first block and was lucky the guy slipped. Then, he turned all the way around so that he couldn’t even see where the guy was, was lucky to be able to make contact again and whiffed the block again, although not quite as badly as the first one. Wtf? We’re...

    That’s a real defense he was playing and he never seemed to lose it. Outstanding.
