That was one of the more dominant performances I have seen from a DB here. Arnette has always been talented and now the coaching is there. There was about 3 or 4 instances where I saw improvements to his awareness while the ball was in the air, the coaching is just so much better. Coaching aside, Damon has seriously stepped it up and I love it. We have 3 starting corners right now that any team would die to have.

That is an amazingly profound quote from a 21-22 year old.

Lockeroom focused on pushing themselves and their mission for each other.

I kind of wonder if this is a positive effect of Day's mentality. I get the impression that Meyer was at his best when he felt he had enemies, real or imagined, and I don't get that same vibe from Day. In general, I prefer Day's mentality if I'm right about what it is ... so long as he doesn't forget to channel and instill in his teams his inner @Jaxbuck when it comes to scUM and as necessary otherwise.

Yeah. If rainbows and unicorns work 11 weeks of the year then so be it.

They damn well better be able to switch gears into blind hate and foil on the knuckles that last week though.

I have to believe that even just 2 years under Urban (and with Urban still on speed dial) was enough to teach Day exactly how you deal with those pricks.

DAMON ARNETTE FEELING BETTER THAN EVER ABOUT DECISION TO STAY AT OHIO STATE AFTER INTERCEPTION RETURN TOUCHDOWN AT INDIANA

106863_h.jpg


Damon Arnette nearly left Ohio State after last season to enter the 2019 NFL draft.

As Arnette scampered into the end zone at the end of his 96-yard interception return touchdown in Ohio State’s 51-10 win over Indiana on Saturday, Fox play-by-play commentator Gus Johnson reminded the TV viewers at home about the fifth-year senior cornerback’s last-minute change of heart.

“Damon Arnette stayed in school!” Johnson exclaimed in his signature call from Saturday’s game. “Cris Carter said you weren’t ready. Well, hey, Hall of Famer, I’m getting ready!”



As Arnette first told Eleven Warriors in February, he was planning to go pro at the end of last season – to the point that he had already said a final goodbye to his teammates and had made plans to move to Dallas for his pre-draft training – until a call from Carter and a meeting with new Ohio State co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach Jeff Hafley convinced Arnette that staying in Columbus for his final year of collegiate eligibility would be in his best interest.

Arnette made that decision with the goal of becoming an All-American this season and an early-round NFL draft pick in 2020, and with visions of making plays just like that which he made in Bloomington.

“That’s the biggest play I’ve made in my life,” Arnette said Tuesday about the pick-six.



While Arnette is confident he would be on an NFL roster right now if he had stuck with his original decision, he says he hasn’t any second thoughts about whether to stay at Ohio State instead, especially in the first three weeks since the season began.

“First game, getting ready for the FAU, I was like that’s what you came back for, to be here with all your brothers,” Arnette said. “I looked around and see just everybody I wanted to be here with. So that first game coming out of the tunnel is when I realized I made the right decision.”

"“I’m just excited because I think we’re going to win the natty,” Arnette said. “I’m just speaking it into existence. I’m just excited because I have great teammates. Every time we go into practice, I’m around great athletes, great people and just the whole environment of being in the Woody, it’s just great. It’s fun being out here, no matter how bad my body’s hurting or whatever, knowing I can come and just to be a part of this team, it’s like ‘Don’t be that guy’ to complain right now.”

Left here for posterity.
