To be fair, the only time I've heard anyone talk is Jeremiah. And the few times JJ has talked shit he's backed it up emphatically. Wished he would've chirped before the B1G Championship. :slappy:

Very true! I suppose it didn’t go well for AM so I’m a little unnerved by a couple of our guys talking a bit. They’re not saying anything wild but for sure more than normal.

McDonald basically predicted a win vs Miami and said he can’t be blocked. Not exactly great.

My one and only comment in this thread. (Completely uninformed, maybe ESPN will hire me).

We have the personnel on D to stop their run game. Pletcher had a good game after wearing down A&M. But if the D can slow/stop it, then Beck becomes the main weapon on O to distribute. Beck needs to be quick and precise, like he's trying to get with another OF girl. It won't happen, but I would love to see Caleb on Toney all game. He's the main weapon. They have a few other guys in the passing game to help. But, meh.

Their D is what could keep them in the game. Great DL play. They put a lot of pressure on the OL and disrupt shit. No clue on their LB's. The DB's have been solid and can cause turnovers. OSU OL play will determine the outcome more than anything. If Julian has time, game over.

Special teams hopefully doesn't need to play a role. Our punter doesn't outkick the coverage and needs to stop Toney if he gets a crack. FG's, F*#$ me. It's indoors, but still.

OSU 31 - Miami, FL 13

Doug and Bill show does great with their breakdowns. On their defense they described the DL is great obviously but doesn’t do as well with gap runs which we do a lot of. They also said while their nickle back might be their best defensive player their LBs are not good in coverage. Then oddly had not much to say (positive or negative) about their secondary otherwise.

I don't care for the chirping either. Zero reason to ever hand an underdog extra motivation

Agree. Tate saying they are going to win it all, Smith saying they are going to have a rematch with Indiana, etc. I'd prefer to not put those things out there. But maybe they can back them up, we'll see

Not how I’d handle it, but some of these guys are confident and vocal. I actually hadn’t heard much of it so I don’t think it’s anything disrespectful. Back it up or learn an important lesson.
