“WE HAVEN’T HAD A BETTER PRACTICE THAN TODAY ALL YEAR”: GARRETT WILSON, THREE OTHER PLAYERS TALK ABOUT ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE WEEK 3 MATCHUP WITH TULSA



“We started slow and we finished slow. You can say what you want about defense. We feel like we didn’t do enough on the offense side.”



“You know we’re hungry. This is a learning experience for all of us. This is a time for us to learn from our mistakes. We’re hungry and ready to compete again.”



“The offense is picking up for me more. It’s easier to read the defense now. It’s kind of like being the quarterback but not throwing the ball.”

Ohio State's defense has struggled in its first two games this season. Do you think Tulsa is capable of taking advantage? What are the Golden Hurricane's strengths and weaknesses on offense?

Hines: Tulsa's offense remains a work in progress, and that makes Saturday a challenge especially considering Ohio State is probably re-evaluating everything defensively. The strength for the Hurricane is going to be on the ground, led by at least two capable running backs and a veteran offensive line. The weakness is more of a lack of experience, with Brin still early in his time as a starter and needing more games to settle in.

Ohio State opened as a 31-point favorite for Saturday's game, though the line has since dropped to 24.5 points. Do you think Tulsa can keep this game competitive? What would you consider to be a good outcome for Tulsa in this game?

Hines: Aside from leaving Columbus with major injuries that could jeopardize the rest of the season, Tulsa doesn't have much to lose. The athletic department gets a $1 million paycheck and the Hurricane gets to play on a big stage in front of 100,000 people. I think there's the chance for the game to be interesting in the early going, but Ohio State coming off a disappointing performance probably makes it more formidable.

Line dropped 7 points? Thank you very much I'll take that You figure Bucks should put up 50 or more this week if they dont go for it on 4th down and fail every time. So even if Tulsa scores 28 pts 24 seems doable.

Got to recoup some of that beating last week. Over looks good too

I suspected that was the case. 31pt was the original open beginning of the season. This week it's been between 25 and 27. its 24.5/25 now between 8 oddsmakers.

It seems as though whenever Urban Meyer's Buckeyes lost a game, that next team better shit their pants, or Ohio State was going to do it for them.
Their first loss was to Michigan State in 2013, and followed that up with a loss to Clemson. And then the season ended, so don't look at that part.
2014 - loss to Virginia Tech, then beat Kent State 66-0.
2015 - loss to Michigan State, then beat Michigan 42-13.
2016 - loss to Penn State, then beat Northwestern 24-20. Okay, so my theory didn't work that time.
2017 - loss to Oklahoma, then beat Army 38-7. I think Army held the ball for about 57 of the 60 minutes that game, so this is a blowout.
2017 - loss to Iowa, then beat Michigan State 48-3. I think Ohio State was #10 and Michigan State was #11. Or the other way around.
2018 - loss to Purdue, then beat Nebraska 36-31. Okay, again my theory didn't work that time.
2019 - loss to Clemson to end the year. (Also not an Urban Meyer team, anymore.)
2020 - loss to Alabama to end the year. (Also not an Urban Meyer team.)

So I guess my theory isn't full of holes. Oh well.

Good recall tho. You also listed the years sequentially so you get points for that.

Say whatever that was was confidently, mix in something about moxie/physicality or being in space and you could be a professional football analyst.

You should play poker with me because I don't have a good poker face. I lose a lot.
I remembered that other than the 2 losses in 2013, they never lost 2 in a row. I remembered that they crushed Michigan in 2015 after losing to Michigan State in that rainy suck of a day, and in 2017 they crushed Michigan State right after losing to Iowa. The others were more guesses than anything. I had to look them all up.
