Shit, nobody fears a team that you are a 53 point favorite to beat......:slappy:

O/U is 67 ½, so it is Ohio State 60 - Akron 7

OSU is not scoring 60, and they aren't covering a 50+ point spread either.

I think Day is going to attempt a lot of long, old-school Woody scoring drives to keep our D off the field. I wouldn't touch a 60 point over and 50 point spread.

Tricky part is, Bucks may bust a few long ones doing just that and you know Day isnt going to neglect his passing game completely, not his style. First time in a long time, it's a bit of a crap shoot on both sides of the ball. Ugh

Yeah. Against a shit by MAC standards defense, I could see Henderson busting out some long TD runs. Maybe I'll do a $10 combo bet. I probably should. After Ohio State shitting on me the last two weeks, I'd hate for them to finally cover everything in a week that I pass on betting on them. Not much else jumping out at me anyways. I'll still be a little on Rutgers because fuck Michigan, that's why. Though, I'll probably have more money on the two McLaren drivers to win on Sunday than I will have on CFB on Saturday.

RYAN DAY
  • Day says having interactions with the players and making sideline adjustments were two reasons Matt Barnes was moved down to the field.
  • On the field turf: "We looked at our cleats to make sure we have the right footwear. We have had some guys go down."
  • On TreVeyon Henderson: "He certainly is gonna have a bigger role," but Day does not guarantee he will be the starter moving forward.
  • "We'll look to see if we can possibly get that done this week," Day on getting backups into the game against Akron, although he doesn't feel pressure to do so.
  • Day says a lot of experience walked out of the building last year. "Those four linebackers that left, they all played almost every snap last year." Day says several guys that are stepping into big roles this season didn't play last season.
  • On Ronnie Hickman: "It's exciting to start hearing those names ... you're starting to see Ronnie make some plays." Day talks about the impact of Denzel Burke, Cam Martinez and Tyleik Williams. Day says "now they know that they can do it."
  • On two safety looks: "I thought we did a better job" of mixing things up.
  • Day says Bryson Shaw played better this week because he's gaining some experience.
  • Could Kyle McCord or Jack Miller get into the game? "I don't know about all that." Day says he won't "arbitrarily" put a different quarterback in the game.
  • On C.J. Stroud's shoulder injury, Day says "there's something there, for sure," and that there have been a lot of conversations about it.
  • Day on pass coverage: "I think we did cover pretty decent the other day."
  • On Kerry Coombs: "He's a professional, he's an Ohio guy, he has an incredible record." Day says Coombs has done "an incredible job of just pushing forward" and is still a big part of the defense.
  • Day says he had no expectations about what the team could be coming into this season. Day hopes to see "a lot of growth" when he looks back in a few weeks.
  • On the running back rotation: "Having depth at that position is critical," but Day says the team hasn't found the right balance yet.
  • Day says Martinez "wasn't sure about making that move" to DB, and that the team worked him out at wide receiver at first.
  • Day says the plan is for Stroud to practice right now, despite his shoulder. "If it works out, we'll do it," Day says about the chance to get other quarterbacks into the game.
  • "I think there's a lot of great football ahead for C.J. Stroud, I just do."
  • Day on the defense: "I think the scheme has been good at times, but could be better. And then same with the coaching."
  • Day says the team can't have fake confidence, it needs to have "real confidence" going into conference play.
  • Day says "maybe once" the Buckeyes have lost a game when they were "just beat" by an opponent and says other times it has been more about Ohio State itself.
  • Day says if you want to play in the NFL at the QB position, dealing with criticism is something that comes with the territory.
  • Day is going to "trust the experts" on the turf issue, and says it's something that he hasn't thought about much until just now.
  • On Quinn Ewers: "I think he would tell you it's been hard for him ... there's a lot of catching up to do there." Day says he's not getting enough reps to be able to play.
