I'm convinced the Athletic Department provides every new OSU coach with the manual "how to lose in the spotlight" that is mandatory reading.

I've become accustomed to us losing in big games recently, but for me this goes all the way back to 1970 against Stanford in the Rose Bowl.

Upside is we are so good we get lots of opportunities; downside is it seems we don't take advantage.  Reality is that we are 27W-29L in bowl games all time; 13-11 in the 2000's.

can we get a 2024-2025 schedule uploaded?

ya think?

Will Berg 7'2" 260 lbs

Daniel Jacobsen 7'4" 230 lbs

four other guys 6'9" or taller.

What has made Iowa dangerous is their ability to get pressure with four linemen and cover with seven.  OL gotta stand up.

Been following OSU since 1977.  That has always been the recipe... control the LOS and pressure our QB.

please, no more 5 in the box defense.

re: backup QB, I agree.  A problem however in that the opportunity to get Sayin, who I believe to have the better upside, some time in the game has largely passed by.  No more cupcakes like the past three teams.  The only reasons to play Brown are loyalty and experience and one of those is not a good reason and the other could, to an extent, have been fixed.

you mean the second half when Marshall's QB was injured and out of the game?

terrible is a bit harsh.

His body language on the field seems to say that he is resigned to his fate, being behind a good number of more talented WR's, and when he gets an oppotunity (two weeks ago a kickoff return, yesterday's pass to him) but doesn't make the play it just reinforces that.

I can't wait to see more OSU defensive looks with 5 in the box.    The sle linebacker near the LOS is so screwed with a QB who can run.

a running QB with a passing threat gives everyone problems.  We were/are looking at the possibilities Howard brings as opposed to McCord.  Other teams can do that as well.

Kanu is listed at 305 lbs.  Moore at 305 lbs.  McDonald at 325 lbs.  They are not small DT's.

Ask Seth McLaughlin.  It gets in your head and then $$it happens.

Yes, because Gurd is more talented and is the TE of the future.

My take on Wiscy:  Fickell knows what it's going to take to be successful in the 2020's.  He needs a more dynamic offense, which requires better skill position guys.  It'll take time to go get those Florida/Texas/California recruits to sign on with Wisconsin.  For those that say they should revert to the OL and RB driven ground and pound offense, look at the 2014 B10 championship game when they played a team with great skill position talent.  63-0 IIRC.  Maybe Wiscy should set their goal to be 8-4 or 9-3.

I have no idea why anyone hires Grinch.

Buckeyes 45-10 

like it.  kid can run, has a pretty good jumper, but is willing to take it inside.  Two years, +20 lbs, to get ready for BIG10.

Gholstin, Porter, Daniels are Ohio guys who played with Orlando at OSU.  Those types aren't here anymore.  Check down south.

How can Freeze be a scumbag... he coached at Falwell's Liberty University.

Bucks 38-10.  Offense takes a little while to get on track, Akron scores on a fluke play against our 2nd/3rd teamers.

or Frye.

have they seen the field yet?

However, talent and hard work will kick both their asses.

Yep, personally I'm tired of the gritty overachieving Ohio boy narrative... especially as it pertains to the OL.

Anyhow, the thing is, you won't play at OSU if you don't work hard.  It's part of the job description.

Chase Farris and Darryl Baldwin were converted DL who played OL on the 2014 NC team.  Urban was stupid.

FWIW, Jashon Cornell was a defensive lineman and OG Tyler Gerald was from Portsmouth Ohio IIRC.

You could add OT Max Wray from TN.

My understanding is that McLaughlin entered the portal before Saban retired, while Sayin left after Saban retired.
