I think your first statement is key.

I did find it odd that the OL was working toward their blocking assignments at the second level and basically letting someone on the DL crash through. I wonder if it was assumed that the back would have enough shake and bake to get past that guy to benefit from the block(s) at the second level. They were in close enough a few times where if they focused on blocking the first level the RB would have gained yardage and perhaps would have scored.

I did see someone mention having a FB in the game for that situation. OL takes first level, FB takes the LB who crashes and RB scoots through based on even numbers and / or prayer. Feels like, dare I say it? Old school football.

Speaking of old school, the formation for the Pedsters last score, where they easily scored outside left tackle, looked somewhat like Woody’s old ‘T’ formation - 3 backs almost straight across.

I’m not advocating a return to that goal line offense, but as a change of pace, and to put something else on film to make other teams spend time preparing for it, I wouldn’t be against it.

Yup. Agreed. There’s a point when the triple option will be the next big thing and we’ll all be looking at the Academies thinking they are brilliant, LOL. But you’re 100% right. If all Day shows is running between guards on the goal line, that’s all anyone will prepare for. What we saw made zero sense to me because we hardly tried to run off tackle all night. It almost seemed intentional. The reasoning for that? I guess we can all speculate… give the OL a challenge, call out their manhood? Not show cards until Day wants to? Dunno… but like I said, it seemed like the edge was available on the ground all night, and not just on the goal line.

Do you think we’ll see a reappearance of Dave? Or maybe even a read-option as a Thanksgiving desert on our way to #Hang100?

You have to really appreciate the fact that the Teague family knows the value of a good education.



It's really great that Master will (probably) be leaving THE Ohio State University with a Masters Degree in Architecture. It's rally a dirty rotten shame that more "student-athletes" don't take advantages of the educational opportunity like Master Teague is doing and/or did.

In fact, fewer than 2% of NCAA student-athletes go on to become professional athletes. And among those, even fewer will make that “set-for-life” kind of money.

According the the NFL Players Association, the average career of an NFL player is 3.3 years. Running backs have the shortest average careers of just 2.57 years. The players left the NFL for a variety of reasons. These include injury, retirement and being cut by their team.

Even those that do make it to the NFL, the odds are that they will make more if they have completed your degree, i.e. actually graduated:

According to the NFL Players Association, NFL players with college degrees make between 20% and 30% more than players who left school early to enter the NFL. The NFLPA also reports that players with degrees have careers that last about 50% longer than those without degrees. This is because most NFL players need the time in college to mature.

With a Masters Degree in Architecture, Master Teague should have 30 to 40 year (professional) career in his chosen field and will essentially be "set for life" financially. In addition, he can choose for who he wants to work for and/or where he wants to live, etc.; all this without the worry of being hit by a linebacker (on any play) and getting a career ending knee injury.

I think that college football players with the character of Teague are few and far between. Most CFB players going to big name programs are solely focused in becoming a pro. Teague seemed destined to align his future past football the entire time. And I could also see him being a minister down the line

Not me. I see him being an architect. Why get a M.Arch. otherwise?
