Maybe it's bc Stroud followed Fields... But (and I know I'm in the minority) I haven't really been all that high on Stroud.

You’re not alone. CJ has put up some gaudy numbers against bad competition but I didn’t see the development from last year to this year that I was expecting. His numbers wouldn’t be as good without Harrison out there making circus catches. He’s often hesitant and indecisive. I’ve heard him interviewed and frankly I don’t think he sounds like the sharpest knife in the drawer.

worse stomping this year by far. 11-0 team, in our house, year of talking, talking, talking, $2M DC, more mature team, fair weather. Sure was a pretty day in late November to get our teeth kicked in.

Nah that's still Oregon vs Georgia or SC vs Tennessee.

This was exactly like last year. 2 late TDs made it look worse then it was. We weren't winning that game. But it should have been 7-10 pt loss.

Jeez, sometimes Noon games suck because you have the entire day to stay pissed off because your team lost.

It's only like 5 p.m.

You can say that again. Especially when you carve out your Saturdays for CFB. Now I have to either find something constructive to do (that doesn't involve showering) or watch USC-ND. Who do you root for in that game?! I guess meteor bc neither is a good option

Good game (I always say this, win or lose; so not trolling for the new Buckeyes on this forum).

I thought your secondary could be exploited; I just didn't think it would be Michigan doing it. I'm also surprised that Knowles was stubborn with his defense. He didn't change it up and got exploited. It reminds me of Don Brown when you guys blasted us with 62 in 2018.

I was worried about a quick start by OSU. Michigan has been a second half team all year, so OSU missed some opportunities (especially in the redzone) along with not running the ball more often. You guys had success with it, so I'm not sure why you didn't run more in the first half. Michigan just wears on you and the holes opened up with the running game in the second half.

Finally, the discipline just wasn't there. The penalties and unsportsmanlike conduct. I thought we got bailed out with the pass interference call in the end zone. It was pass interreference, but the tacky stuff doesn't need to be called. Other than that, they let both teams play. I was frustrated because our dine was getting held, especially Mazi. But we got away with holds as well. In this game, just let both teams play and don't call the ticky tack shit.

Anyways, see you guys in Ann Arbor for next year. You still have Egbuka, Harrison, and the running backs coming back along with high end talent. So, I don't think this thing is swinging our way yet. There needs to be more of a sample size plus Jimmy may flirt with the NFL.

With his mentality, you couldn't tell if he played good or bad...and that's a major issue (with me).

Watching Fields in Chicago taking every bad outing last year as a personal disgrace (even though he was set up to fail) and taking personal responsibility for every loss this year (even though he played his heart out injured) is so different than CJ. You can't coach that...not at this point. It's fucking instilled early. Maybe the difference between hardcore Georgia HS football and finesse SoCal football.
