IIRc, he played most of the game against IU. The starting RG was no good, fwiw, so if this is his backup, that's definitely a weak spot. Whole right side is the Achilles heel of that line.

They say this backup is better and they are happy the starter is out.

But again, that could be just Ohio Taint arrogance.

See my response to @Hurracanes, but I clearly wasn't comparing OSUs run defense to A&Ms. We run blocked great against A&M. Hence, if we repeat that against OSU we will be able to run the ball against them. Gonna be a lot harder, because of how much better OSU's run defense is, but that was an impressive as **** performance by our OL and Co against A&M. I just think we shouldn't wave the white flag before the game against OSU and say we can't run on them between the tackles cause they're too good there.

OSU linebackers are the best in the country. Makes those Texas Tech linebackers look like JV players.

Which will make beating them that much sweeter.
 
This game comes down to one thing for me. Dawson/Beck vs Patrica.
Our defense is going to be fine. We can hold them under 20.
Dawson's gameplan was pure dogshlt vs aTm and he said as much. I want to see us get back to the way we looked vs ND when we were throwing it downfield and to our backs in the flat. Don't make the whole gameplan gadgets and duo.
Their edges are effort guys. We gotta sustain our blocks longer because 92 doesn't quit on plays and gets most of his production that way. Big boy in the middle is hard to move. Keep him moving horizontal and when he's subbed out, hit em with duo. Their backup interior is not impressive

I love the irony. 23 years ago we were the defending national champions, complete on both sides of the ball, an 11'point favorite. Ohio State had a terrific defense but average to slightly above average offense. It's as though the scripts have been flipped.

Let’s hope the score does ….first thing I’m gonna look to see is to make sure Terry Porter is on the officiating crew…
 
We all realize that in the 10 games OSU has lost this decade they have been outrushed in all of them? Often by quite a lot too. Is it gonna be easy to run the ball against them? **** no. Do we need to run the football against them to win? **** yes.

Edit: in their 10 losses this decade their opponents have run for 191 yards/gm and 5.1 ypc.

What we found against Texas A&M is that despite being the best freshman in America, Malachi Toney is not “HIM” yet. He will be one day tho.

When a defense schemes specifically to take him away, he’s not at the stage of his career where he can still completely take over a game. He’s a freshman and expecting him at this point to beat a defensive coordinator’s full game plan by himself just isn’t realistic.

This really falls more on the coaching staff. If teams are going to load up and scheme for Malachi, then the offense has to make other guys productive.

Until defenses are forced to pay for focusing on Malachi, they’re going to keep doing it. I anticipate Ohio state scheming him out the offense the same way A&M did.

We have to find other ways to get guys involved. To me that is one of the keys to the game.

It’s on Shannon to devise ways to free him up
It’s not Toney’s job

Shannon better get his **** straight for next week!!! It’s on him to understand what we can exploit on OSUs D and to scheme his best player open

He was likely a big OU homer and hated seeing his Sooners get torn apart by Miami year after year and that was his way of payback!!!!

I was at that game and it was total bull****
Fireworks going off
100 players and coaches on the field
Then

He decides to throw a flag from 30 yards away w a side judge ten feet away!!!

Travesty

Our Oline can block anyone
We definitely want to control clock and game
Limit possessions play bro ball and then hit em w PA

That team has not played ANYONE all season except game 1 v Texas and game 13 v Indiana
And they looked like **** in both

Day calling plays
Hartline out
Jeremiah running his mouth
They think this is an easy win
They been off for a month while Miami is battle tested road warriors for past month!

OSU is RIPE for the picking of you ask me!!!!
And if my **** Kalshi app would load right id be putting my money where my mouth is

Great take. Im in the camp that thinks that if this team plays to their capabilities, we can beat anyone. The month off does nothing but hurt them IMO. Beating TA&M did nothing but help our confidence and we escaped with no serious injuries it seems.

Did the article mention that he owned a sports bar in ******* COLUMBUS, OH?!

I hadn't read it either, but I clicked on it (JUST FOR YOU), and it's behind a paywall.

And I sure as **** ain't paying for that crap.

I had no idea that he had ties there.

That became part of the controversy and it was a rumor that I am not sure was ever validated.

From a 2010 article. “Mental Replay.”

Not to mention that the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage.

Now that you've brought it up, it sounds familiar, but I had a stroke a few years back so I'm missing big chunks of my memory. If we all knew it back then, then I am positive I also knew it at the time.
