This OSU team is very beatable. Our trenches are considerably better than IUs and they were consistently getting pressure on Sayin. It doesn't matter how good your receivers are if the qb can't get the ball out effectively.

Agree. Curry is the only guy that scares be on that front 4. He's better than Howell and FM will have his hands full. I don't think Jackson is that great. Malone is a guy we were after out of the portal. McDonald is a real space eater. I think we can run on them but it will be tough sledding.

After watching some film, a couple weak spots jumped out at me. The right side of their line (particularly at RG) is weak. Their CBs gave up more big plays than they should have against IU and some others.

In the IU game, Mendoza was pretty fleet footed around the pocket - his athleticism definitely helped him in some cases where Beck's will not.

Quite a few times OSU was getting home with only rushing 3 or 4, but I don't think they're gonna have the same success on FM unless they commit more to the rush.

Mendoza Def made a bunch of great plays while scrambling, but he also left a few clean pockets unnecessarily. Beck needs to settle down in this game and not panic like he did Saturday.

OSU did not handle the OZ run well against IU or Michigan, but they blew up the WR screens (we need to be careful). There are plays to be had, but this ain't a time to get too cute with slow developing trick plays.

I think Day made the right decision on this but it’s definitely a little awkward.

Well it’s like when the fanbase of a struggling offense always loves the backup QB. I don’t think Day calling plays changes things much. They lost to IU and the offense didn’t look great so the idea of a new play caller is the new shiny toy.
 
Really wish this game was another night... Bought tickets to the Stranger Things finale in theaters at this same time. Will be with you guys in spirit!

Curry is legit, he's the one i worry will cause some problems. Miami can get after their Oline and if they can cause pressure, get to sayin Miami has a real chance
 
Defense will do its job they always have against eveyone. Sayin ain’t Reed and that OL is cheeks compared to AM. They won’t score more than 21. Our offense needs to be better. But the wind was horrible. Say all you want but it affects throwing. Also the kicker….. and Dawson needs to take what works. I think we got out yips out of the way. So let it rip and play our game and we win.

It's a young team and they lost 14 draft picks last year. Only a few players had any meaningful role in last year's title run (starters: Downs, Sonny Styles, Jeremiah/Tate, Igbinosun, Hinzman, and Tegra), so there is no real advantage there for Ohio State vis a vis the rest of the playoff field. Next year was the year that most fans targeted as a national championship run coming into the season with Sayin in his second year, entire OL back, Jeremiah's last year, etc.

They were ranked #1 or 2 coming into the season wtf are you talking about. When you are ranked that high, you have championship expectations.

Ya they’ll certainly have more fans but we’re going to have a nice showing for this one (relative to our road crowds of course).

Not going to be an OSU “home game” like some of these people think.

Lmfao

Assuming this ragebait and not a confession that you are on a list that prevents you from being within 1000 feet of a school zone.
 


The level of arrogance.

Peewee Football? Setting special teams back decades?

You ******* scored 10 points vs Indiana!!! You go down in that stadium in that environment, with the crazy wind, etc.

Then they have the gaul to take a shot at us about the salary cap - what the **** are you paying Jeremiah and others?

******* hate that ******* program! Death to Ohio State! Your days of taking South Florida talent in the way you have in the past are soon over.
