They could totally go 11-1, win the MAC title and be a top-25 team by bowl season. I could see it at least.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ohio State did not name a Defensive Player of the Game for Saturday’s contest. The Buckeyes allowed Toledo to score on three touchdowns of more than 20 yards, while Rockets quarterback Dequan Finn compiled 223 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns — two passing and one rushing.

Hang a Hundred on ‘Em
Look, 77 points is OK, but Ohio State left the job unfinished. You have to show these upstart in-state schools that if they’re going to come to the Horseshoe for their big payday, it’s going to come out of their flesh. How is Ryan Day going to hang a hundred on Michigan if he can’t even do it to the school from noted wannabe-Michigan city Toledo? Let Kyle McCord and Devin Brown cook, for crying out loud!
Around the country, people are going “Oh, OK” when they see the OSU-Toledo score. But triple figures? That stands out. That gets people’s attention. Some of those people are five-star recruits. Where would you rather go? Stupid Alabama, where they only score in the 60s or 70s on weaker opponents, or an Ohio State machine that reaches the century mark? I know where I’d rather go, and I wouldn’t need to grow Bama bangs or buy any houndstooth hats or other clothing items.
And while we’re on the subject of milestones, why not go for a thousand yards in a game? You’re already almost at 800. The hard part is already behind you!

I thought the 2015 Buckeyes were capable of a grand..this team is too. Won’t but could if Day was Evil.

I have misplaced my pants.
This is what will make it all the more delicious when the Buckeyes DO hang 100 on *ichigan. Ohio State couldn't put 100 on Arkansas State or Notre Dame or Toledo. Or Rutgers or Sparty or anyone else on their schedule. But on *ichigan? There's the triple-digit offense against *ichigan.

One last thing after rewatching...that Finn kid at QB for Toledo is a hell of a player. Defense could have played better but don't take credit away from Finn. He is going to have a big year for Toledo.

Don't know that I've every watched a game with this Brando / Tillman team. And, I honestly hope we never have to listen to them again. It was awkward how bad they are, both with their individual performance and complete lack of chemistry. Made the second half difficult to listen to.

What if Toledo quarterback Dequan Finn played for Ohio State?
Dequan Finn was honestly quite impressive against Ohio State, so that got me thinking— what if he had the same weapons that C.J. Stroud has?

Getting beat by 56 points doesn’t leave much room for any positives if you’re a Toledo fan. However, scoring three touchdowns against Ohio State is certainly something to celebrate, especially compared to Note Dame! Quarterback Dequan Finn was responsible for two of those scores and he was very impressive in my eyes. So, as my mind wandered during the fourth quarter — which lasted what seemed like a quarter century — I was wondering, what if he was playing for Ohio State, instead of against them?
Let me make a huge disclaimer right now: OBVIOUSLY, I would rather have C.J. Stroud than Finn. Stroud is the better QB; there is no other player in the country I’d rather have leading the Buckeyes than Stroud. I think he’s going to win the Heisman this year, but I was just curious how much better Finn could be — and how the OSU offense would change — if he was QB1 for Ohio State.
Okay, now that we have that cleared up, let’s get into it. First off, I think that it’s almost impossible for a QB not to improve after upgrading to Ohio State’s offense. I’m pretty sure Joe Schmo could find a little bit of success if he had the weapons that the Buckeye quarterbacks have to work with. However, Finn is no Joe Schmo, as he is actually quite a talented QB.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound sophomore was named to the watch list for the Maxwell Award for college football’s player of the year. He passed for over 2,000 yards last season and has only thrown two picks in his collegiate career. Finn is a dual-threat quarterback, and he definitely showed off his mobility on Saturday.
This play in particular is a great example of Finn’s quickness and ability to scramble while maintaining his ability to make a play. Although Stroud has certainly improved in this area, having a quarterback who can move like this would be just another great addition to an already unreal offense.
Here is an example of Finn being able to scamper 23 yards to the end zone for a TD. His legs are certainly a huge part of his game, and really the only element of the Rockets’ offense that was even semi-successful on Saturday. But, if he Finn had the ability to throw to Ohio State’s receivers, I wouldn’t be surprised if that part of his game drastically improved.

Yeah, I was really impressed with his athleticism too. Needless to say I'm no expert on who will and who won't make it in the NFL. Currently, I don't think he is accurate enough to be a QB1 in the NFL. However, with that being said I do think if he declares for the draft after this season and the right team drafts him he could have a NFL career like Antwaan Randle El (i.e. WR, KR, and emergency QB3). Even though this is his 4th year in college, I believe that he could return (with an extra COVID year) for 2 more seasons. If he does and makes significant improvements on his passing, the sky could be the limit for him.
