Also when it comes to the Dline/Pass Rush

It appears Colorado State just has about the worst oline you'll ever see. Western Kentucky 9 Sacks/13 TFLs & Washington State 7 Sacks/12 TFLS against them

scUM since their 7 sacks/11 TFL performance vs Colorado State. vs Hawaii 1 sacks/2 TFL vs Uconn 0 sacks/5 TFL

Wait... that can't be right. Colorado State gave up MORE sacks to Western Kentucky than they did to *ichigan???
And just as many sacks to Washington State, and more tackles for loss?
*ichigan must have purposely been avoiding the sacks.

The stats look good on paper but scUMs oline had quite a few breakdowns and looked suspect at times against 3 of the worst teams in FBS. Will be interesting to see them against a defense with some kind of order and speed/athleticism where they won't be able to get by on just being faster and more athletic.

Unfortunately, Penn State's D looks legit. Their offense is kinda pathetic with 73rd year senior Sean I'll-show-Ohio-State-what-they-missed Clifford....so Auburn must suck. But that match up will be one of my favorites again, because one of them has to lose, and usually they both look stupid doing it.

I like your optimism, but I'm convinced both teams are legit and both games with them will be dog fights. The rest of the Big Ten looks mediocre to awful.

Pedsters look legit, but we really won't know what last week really means until Auburn gets a few games under their belt. tsun just ran through the literal three worst teams in fbs. Domers, Pig State or Toledo would all beat those three easily. They're still a complete open book, and their September NC and Heisman mean nothing.

Hopefully those 3 schlubs have created a complete false sense of complacency for scUM and they come out and lay a egg against Maryland.

Maryland appears to be not a very good team overall, their passing offense can be nice but the defense and everything else is meh. There is at least some actual talent and direction there though. It'll be a completely different world from playing Colorado State, Hawaii & Uconn.

When you play 3 nonconference teams that a good high school in Texas, Florida, or Ohio could probably beat:

Colorado State: 0-3, also lost to Middle Tennessee State and Wazzou. Outscored by an average of 41-11. One of the worst handful of teams in FBS.
Hawaii: 1-3, beat FCS Duquesne (huzzah!) 24-14, also lost to Vanderbilt 63-10 and Western Kentucky 49-17. Outscored by a average of 46-16. One of the worst handful of teams in FBS.
UCONN: 1-3, beat FCS Central Connecticut State (Yippee!), also lost to really bad Utah State 31-20 and 'Cuse 48-14. Outscored by an average of 35-16 (they held their FCS freebee to 3 points). One of the worst handful of teams in FBS.

Those are, literally, 3 of the worst 5 or 6 teams in FBS. All 3 of them will struggle to win 2 games this year. I would like to see a major program that played 3 shittier teams to start the year. The SEC is looking down their nose at that September schedule.

Next up is Turtle who has a very iffy defense and perpetually shits the bed against ranked opponents. After that? A bunch of B1G tin cans. Their only real test before coming to Columbus will be the pedtards, but who knows if they're for real. I want to say Sparty, but they just got rag dolled by frickin' Washington.

They love keeping up the great facade that scUM is constantly cranking out star NFL QBs and Ohio State is some pit of QB misery.

The only one they have is Brady. And he is a asterisk because of how Brady was actually treated there.

The whole fluff about McCarthy and scUM "doing it the NFL way!!!" is pretty hilarious in itself. Considering their QB performance overall under Harbaugh. Which is nothing above average.

The Michigan Difference, compared to the other guys.

As a lifelong Bears fan, my immediate reax to the trade to get Fields was: "NOOOO!" To paraphrase a joke from Airplane!, "Here is a pamphlet on great OSU QBs in the NFL." Only, there isn't enough information to fill out even a pamphlet. I have made this reference before, but in case you didn't see: Name the only OSU QB who took a snap as QB in a Superbowl? Mike Tomczak (bet you didn't know that, or, don't know of him at all). (Fourth quarter third-string mop-up duty for Da Bears in SB XX over Pats... back in 1986). Or, the only OSU QB who started in the Superbowl? It's a trick question, it's Tom Tupa... but he started as a punter.

One more datapoint. OSU decided Fields was better than that other guy, who then transfers to LSU, becomes the greatest college QB ever, goes #1, and is in the Superbowl two years later. That doesn't make OSU's decision-making process for QB look very good.

My point is, the list of great OSU QBs is ever-evolving. But the list of great OSU QBs who go on to NFL stardom is waiting to have its first entry. Why do these great QBs go there? Guess that rookie contract for a couple years looks awesome.

Also big shock that highly regarded QB recruits want to play in a explosive open offense and not Harbaugh's leather helmet scheme.

Sure, you can't fill out a pamphlet on great Ohio State quarterbacks. But, piggybacking on your point, who is on *ichigan's pamphlet? Brady, of course, and that asterisk is acceptable. But who else? Brian Griese? Was he "great"? (Seriously - I don't know the answer to that.) Other than Brady, does *ichigan have a quarterback that started in the Super Bowl?

I can't explain why Ohio State quarterbacks don't do well in the NFL. I really thought Haskins would be better than he was. Fields still has time, and he may be better. I can't think of any recent quarterbacks who were "typical" "NFL quarterbacks".

Brian Griese started 83 games throughout 11 seasons. 119 TD 99 INT. He was about a meh to "ok" NFL QB. Maybe not terrible by nowhere near anything spectacular.
