I love Iggy’s IDGAF attitude. Him and Natthews are absolute showboating dogs, I hope we have others like these two in the pipeline.

Sounds like Day checked his feelings heading into the playoffs. Jayden is on a very short leash.

Everyone back to their roots. Day playcalling. Hartline coaching up his WRs on the details during the game.

I do not choose to discuss it
I’m rewatching the SMU Miami game (I’ll watch tonight’s bowl games later and fast forward through commercials).
SMU missed a field goal to tie the game 20-20 with 6:24 left in the 4th quarter. Miami starts the next drive and the announcers say (paraphrasing) “now is the time for Miami to impose their will with Fletcher behind that massive offensive line.”
Knowing the outcome of the game, this amused me because, spoiler alert, they lost. Between the Louisville game and the SMU game, both defenses basically did nothing special other than keeping track of where Toney is (and Louisville made some nice plays on bad throws to get interceptions).
But the more I watch the Miami team, the more I think it was complete coaching malpractice for A&M to go all out blitzing… it’s completely unnecessary, especially in that wind.
Ohio State can and should dial up pressure tomorrow, but I don’t think they need to go crazy blitzing. First of all, the Miami OL isn’t elite (especially run blocking) and I think the Buckeyes can get pressure consistently enough with a four man rush. Second, just bringing one guy from a creative place once and awhile should do wonders, most obviously Reese.

That was the most animated I’d been for probably 3+ years when he missed that shot. Wide open running across the field.
For as good as Julian’s been this year he’s missed a bunch of throws down the field where he hasn’t seen them. He especially tends to miss Brandon Innis.

People mistake fat and tall for elite OL. All week I’ve heard how they have three guys over 330 pounds on the OL. That doesn’t mean shit. Our 2002-2003 OL was massive and once we lost MoC we couldn’t do a damned thing running the ball.

3 of those guys were drafted and had multi year NFL careers.
The problem was the back up running backs more than the OL just sucking.

That's the encouraging thing for me. As a Freshman, as good as Julian is in reading and reacting (and he may be the best in CFB) there is still room for him to improve. Hopefully he takes that next step tomorrow night under the lights.

Mfers making me work tomorrow. I won't be doing shit besides walking around talking football. Maybe I'll just sit outside and cruise BP. Maybe get paid to post. Live the dream.
