I couldn't agree more. I can understand the hesitancy of OSU fans because of the last few years; I've felt the pain along side of you (sometimes worse, not even along side you... I live in LA and had tickets to the OSU-USC game but a drunk lost friend with the ticket + bad cellphone reception =...

13 - 0. I'm out on the westcoast and I think people are seriously underestimating how significant USC QB and Off/Def Coordinator shifts will affect them. Even Mark Sanchez and Colt McCoy struggled in their first few games. Add that to our DBs/DL & to the amount of talent/speed (4.3s...

Like you said, interesting but not a great comparison. Here's why: 1) Pryor ran after passing, throwing 5 times as much. Tebow ran with designed runs. One's 5-15 yards behind line of scrimmage; other is running forward with blockers. Many of those sacks, whether poor blocking or poor...

I think what k2onprimetime is saying is that Troy Smith might have gone too far in proving he was a throwing quarterback by his senior year that he abandoned his running abilities too much. Unfortunately for Ohio State that year, it didn't cost us until the BCS Title game, where clearly...

I entirely agree with you. Last year, he did show the same thing in the spring game and SHOULD have gotten playing time back then. Tressel is a great coach but he is human like the rest of us. He made the same mistake not playing Troy Smith because of his inconsistency in practice but as we...

Probably one of the funniest comments I've heard. A classic.:osu:

2008 does not equal 2002. I loved OSU winning the National Championship as much as every other Buckeye but that was 6 years ago. Think about how much has changed since then. Text messaging, MySpace, Rivals.com, etc. The same has happened with the game of football and that is why teams like WVU...

To clarify, I am suggesting that we find out who is our Chris Leak in the Leak/Tebow combination. Although that may entail splitting Boeckman's reps so that we can see Bauserman or Henton against a team's 1st string defense in the first two games, it should not be seen as a permanent solution...

I agree that the QB position is very significant in terms of a team's psyche, which makes it even more important that this issue be settled sooner rather than later, lest OSU 2005 happen again. The rest of the team saw what happened at the Spring game and there is nothing more demoralizing than...

One fact that has not been brought up as much is that Boeckman was lucky against inferior competition early last year that he didn't have another handful of interceptions. I can remember several passes (Akron and/or YSU, UW, etc.) that went through the hands of defenders rather than being...

The psychological variable must be factored in. Last year, they lost to a team they shouldn't have (App St) then beat a team they weren't supposed to (Florida). If there is anything we learned from last year, it is that you never know how a team (or their opponent) is going to respond and that...

I am not saying that they should or will play Henton in the NC game, it should be more like a backup plan. I agree that playing him would be risky. But if Tressel only takes the gameplan that he is going to run Beanie 40 times and not pass that much, that is also risky (especially in this day...

FROM ESPN.com (after Auburn/Clemson Bowl Game) Freshman quarterback Kodi Burns, receiving an expanded role in Auburn's new spread offense, scored on a 7-yard run in overtime to give the Tigers a 23-20 victory over Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Monday night. Burns, who shared snaps with...

I wouldn't be so sure. Remember an Old Miss (0-8 in SEC) team used a dual-threat qb very effectively against LSU, outgaining them 466-to-396. LSU could not stop him and if it wasn't for 4 turnovers (1 fumble at goalline, 1 int by other qb who was brought in on goalline, 1 legit int by qb, and 1...
