2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

[Tanner]

I dont understand why people are criticizing Henry for the pick. The ball was tipped. If the play is on anyone its on Fahey for throwing into coverage

It's pretty funny Bey clearly has some maturing to do on and off the field but the coaches are like "god damn man when this guy gets the football I dont know what to tell you"

But tbh, Henry should've caught that ball even if it were tipped...

He needs to spend some time with the JUGS à la Marvin Harrison.

Definitely some areas to improve (penalties / OL blocking in 1st half) but it's hard to criticize a team that scored 56 pts and gained nearly 700 yds and got 32 first downs.

BTW, THEE was a perfect 5-5 in the red zone against Ball St. This was an area we all wanted to see improvement in this season.
Grade: A+

I am choosing to see the O-line's less than stellar play as a positive going into Austin. They got a lot of hype prior to Saturday, most of which I think I still believe, however, now there's no way they go into this game complacently. I'm hoping we see the nasty, aggressive line play we need this year.

Still can't believe Pete Carroll made the idiotic decision to give Chip $6 million a year to be his OC. Probably cost us a title last year and I'd rather have him than Art Smith if early returns are to be believed

Not sure he would’ve stayed anyway as I read he and Day drove each other crazy in this new dynamic and wanted to maintain their friendship.

How did we assemble a group of tight ends who aren't threats in the passing game but also aren't good blockers

I swear to god, I would just be ok if we went 4 WR and 0 tight ends.

I’m so tired of hearing about the tight ends. Especially going 13 personnel. There’s no way 3 tight ends are 3 of the top 11 players

Yeah I don't see any reason to be in that formation other than a very occasional appearance.

I’d rather run the wishbone offense then see or hear about our third tight end.

If we go deeper than 2 tight ends we are doing it wrong

 

[Tanner]

Right now our offense is kindof like an NBA team that has a guy averaging 30 but the offense itself isn't good

 

[lvbuckeye]

Can someone please explain this offense's philosophy to me? What is their base play? What is their base formation? How did Ryan Day go from "spread to run" and JK Dobbins running for 2,000 freaking yards, to packing the box with 9 or 10 defenders via 3 tight ends that apparently aren't threats in the passing game OR the running game?

Are the Buckeyes ever going to have 5 OL that can just blow the DL off the line ever again?

We had a OL last year who never even played a snap the last 6 games, and not only did Ethan Onianwa get drafted, he made the Falcons' 53 man roster. Wtf are we even doing?
