Yep. For those with better sense than me who don't go over there and read the stupidity, try and wrap your head around this;

  • Half (for easy math) of a recruiting class is gone via transfer and a couple of desperation early NFL entries (not high round early entry guys mind you).
  • DFBIA looks down and says "well, they weren't really producing anything anyway" Which is by and large true
  • DFBIA does some math, carries the two, and spits out this result; no production from a class + 1/2 of class is gone = Win! there is no problem here, nothing to see. Move on. Frees up more spots for, one can only assume , similar talent development.
It's just hard to comprehend being that myopic and unwilling to even recognize there might be something less than "ZOMG! Best EVAH!!!" about the tsun football program and St Jim of the Undiagnosed.

They're split about 50/50 between the "bargaining" phase (your example) and the "depression" stage (Deace, any remaining fans with a triple digit IQ).

By the by, I can buy the narrative that the Jim Harbaugh tenure failed to reach escape velocity with that 1st down call. Who knows what things would be like today if they beat us in C-bus that day. I don't think they'd be dominating or anything, but maybe they're a little more competitive with us and nationally nationally.

But they didn't. And it isn't solely because of that call. tOSU tried desperately to hand them that game for 3.5 quarters. Tried DESPERATELY. Instead, Harbrau did Harbrau things and peed his khakis. They went into an absolute shell in the second half and did nothing. Ohio State was playing like absolute garbage and the best and most talented team Jim Harbaugh has had and ever will have up there couldn't grab it. tOSU had no business being the the position for a 4th down call going their way turning the tides. That was an epic choke.

They would've made the playoffs, got routed by Clemson or Alabama, been in exactly the same spot as they are now except with a year of bragging rights.

That game was a Tresselball Special - strong defense (3.9 yards per play; 3 turnovers) and excellent punting (6 punts averaging 46.0 per punt, 2 inside the 20).

In regulation, Ohio State had 280 yards of total offense (3.7 yards per play); scored 10 points on offense (and another 7 on a pick six); missed two short FG (21 yards, 37 yards); and was 3 of 16 (.188) on third downs. J.T. Barrett was 15/32 passing for 124 yards (3.9 yards per attempt) with no TDs, 1 interception, and 8 sacks.

Harbaugh was never able to gain control of the momentum despite all the Buckeye efforts to piss that game away, and his team literally quit after that 4th down call. All scUM needed was three defensive stops to force a FG attempt (with a very shaky PK) and a 3rd OT period. Instead, Curtis Samuel housed it from 15 yards out on the very next play.

God damn those offensive stats for OSU are way worse than I remember, and I do remember the offense being absolute garbage for almost the entirety of regulation. Yeah I do think that 2016 probably broke Harbaugh in some way.

It's actually even worse than I originally described....

128 of Ohio State's 280 total yards (45.7%) came in the final 10:32 (17.6%) of the game.

Ohio State's last two drives went for 128 yards on 21 plays, which is 64 yards per drive and 6.1 yards per play.

Ohio State's previous ten drives (not counting kneel down at end of first half) went for 152 yards on 52 plays, which is 15.2 yards per drive and 2.9 yards per play.

Take out Ohio State's first drive (9 plays, 62 yards, missed FG), and the middle nine drives went for 90 yards on 43 plays, which is 10 yards per drive and 2.1 yards per play.

I don't think it broke him so much as his crazy 4th quarter antics and even crazier post game press conference sounded the alarm bells in that sublimely pr conscious administration in AA. After that was when he got the tard wrangler and, in my opinion, he was put on meds. Thus appeared the catatonic, breathing through his mouth, 1000 yard stare Harbaugh that we've seen ever since. I'm not so sure that we broke his crazy ass so much as I think his own bosses broke it.

100% agree

You don't break retarded. You chemically lobotomize it.
