Going to be interesting. Must, absolutely must beat Wiscy and State Penn. Win our division and make the Championship game. Don't win our division and it's off to Orlando or worse. I'm not optimistic right now.

I am.

I am too...as long as JT is at the helm WE ARE GREAT!

It's against my nature to be optimistic, but I am for next year's football season. This team will slug through the first 5 games and then come on like gangbusters at the end with a giant chip on its shoulder.

id like to see a faster tempoed offense next year. in 2010 ohio state ran 59 offensive plays per game, compare to oklahomas 88. i understand the difficulties with a system where you can go three and out in less than 25 seconds, but personally i think this is the deepest, fastest and the team with the most compete in the big ten (not sure on conditioning etc). i think running another dozen or so plays would put more pressure on other teams depth as the game wears on. the impact of clock, rules changes has been significant over the past 10 or so years, when in the mid 90s most teams were running on average of 80-85 plays a game.

northwestern and michigan lead the conference with 74 or so plays a game, running 80 or so in home games.
ohio state ranked 113 with 59 plays a game, down from 64 the year prior.

If that stat puts michigan and northwestern at the top of the big ten then your argument is not worth much. Ohio State has great defenses, run the football, own the clock, give your defense good field position, make their offense earn it, that's Buckeye football.

I'm not optimistic right now.

When have you ever been?

5. Ohio State
Buzz:: The Buckeyes will be missing five key players, including QB Terrelle Pryor, for the first five games of the season. How much of an impact is that going to have? Despite the suspensions, the Buckeyes again will be the team to beat in the Big Ten.

I love seeing how much attention OU is getting after beating powerhouse UConn.

Should have seen that one coming a mile away...

One interesting thing going into spring is that, with the signing of Carter, we are at 86 on scholarship. Someone isn't coming back and we should find out who it is when spring practices start.
