Booger eater is calling plays for the title game? Lol
My dad thought it was because they didn't wanna show too much before the NC. Who knows though?I don't. Did you see the way Kiffin just sabotaged that gameplan let alone Hurts? He knew better about that. Why in the fuck did he NOT utilize a 2TE 2 RB set when the Huskies was running cornerback blitz almost 60% of the game, then you want to get cute by trying to run trick plays? He did the same shit against Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl back in 2015
How much of JT's regression was because the skill position talent is not where it was his first two years? Curtis Samuel is obviously really good, but Mike Weber is no Zeke Elliott, and I'm not sure I could name another OSU receiver from this year.
His regression is actually pretty surprising to me. I thought he had a shot at being one of the best ever QBs at OSU after his first year. That year was insane for a freshman. But it's been downhill since.
How much of his regression is dedicated to Meyer screwing up the QB position by not making a damn decision between him and Carsales Jones last year?How much of JT's regression was because the skill position talent is not where it was his first two years?

But yes. OSU's talent level took a significant decline from 2015/2014 levels. It bring up an interesting point on Meyer on if his run is going to continue at OSU, or if the program starts trending down hill as it did in 09-10 at Florida. Just like the '14 Buckeyes, '08 Florida was one of the more underrated teams in terms of pure overall talent. The recruiting dragged after that initial surge, Meyer completely blew the QB situation (Brantley over Cam) and the coaching changes on each side of the ball (Mullen and Strong both leaving in consecutive years) really dragged and the talent couldnt keep up. Plus you know.. DA GERD. If theres one flaw on him, hes yet to show he can maintain a program, but he can sure as hell build it up.
I don't know which one of the brain trust of beck and warriner was calling plays, but I do know Beck was qb Coach and jt regressed during becks 2 years. He also coached down Taylor Martinez in Nebraska so it seems obvious he has no idea how to coach a qb.
Apparently Ryan day will be the new qb Coach. I don't know enough about him to have an opinion, but apparently he was qb Coach in San Francisco and Philadelphia recently.
I mean its pretty clear Im coming into this argument with an extreme level of bias, but this is the same thing I remember hearing in 2008-2009 when Florida lost 2 games over 2 seasons.It's difficult to imagine Meyer not sustaining success at OSU given how shitty the Big Ten is. Michigan is the only team in the conference that will have similar talent. But we're now digging out of a Hoke recruiting mess for the next year or two, plus we're never going to get Ohio kids like OSU does. Penn State could have some years with a better team than OSU. Other than that, no one is really going to be able to challenge them. Easily pencil them in with 10 wins for as long as Meyer is there.
Their recruiting right now is on Alabama's level, too. Maybe OSU isn't a national title contender every year like they have been since Meyer took over, but I doubt OSU turns into Florida.
Well yeah, that is pretty great.Kevin Wilson named o-cordinator today so hopefully that stuff gets cleaned up.
Wilson might solve some of OSU's problems just by going fast. God damn that talent and a hurry up system will be devastating. They'd probably only need 4 plays to be successful - power, zone read, bubble screen, and some type of deep pass.
Good news for Tennessee. Awful news for Indiana. Guess they're going back to being 2-10 for a while.

@DeadMan It seems like Urban doesn't have too much hands-on control of the offense unlike other head coaches, which makes it a good sign that they hired Wilson who has a proven track record of having great offenses. For instance you know with the HC/OC dual types like Chip Kelly, Mike Leach, Bobby Petrino, Mike Gundy, etc. that no matter who is token OC you're pretty much getting the same production year after year. Without Mullen or Herman there was a significant drop-off in production under Meyer. Even not considering this year, how was Ohio State's offense #41 overall last year? It's not like Major Applewhite was lighting up scoreboards as OC before Herman hired him at Houston, either. I don't think he'll have any problem with Beck as OC. It seems like Meyer is more of a head coach who lets his assistants do their jobs than others who specialize on one side of the ball.
That's fair, but Meyer has faced him enough that I'm sure he's considered it going in. He seems pretty flexible mixing it up. I think he'll be a huge success.Meyer probably sets the parameters of the offense though. Power spread, run first, no huddle but not super fast, all have been constants under him. Maybe that changes with Wilson, I suppose. It's been more about getting an OC that can thrive in that style. But Wilson's spread is pretty different from Meyer's, except that he'll go to a run first when he has the right personnel. Wilson isn't going to be running 20 outside zone plays in a row with 7 seconds in between plays at OSU like he did at Indiana.
Tracy Claeys out at Minnesota, or nah?

+ 'CRUITINIf Darboh makes one more catch against Iowa or FSU, those games are wins.
He's out.. that's a shockerTracy Claeys out at Minnesota, or nah?
I stopped caring about Minnesota football when they gang-raped a chick. Everyone involved entirely deserves whatever happens to them. To be fair, I hope the AD and President get fired too.Who the fuck cares? FB is just a diversion, in the state, until High School Ice Hockey season starts.
@adchester
Speight also missed a ton of open looks in the osu and FSU games. So from a pure playcalling perspective, we had the looks and open WRs, they were just missed or dropped some balls.Just pointing out how close Michigan was, despite their offense falling off a cliff. Come on @Brick. We're not talking about them needing to go from an offense ranked in the 100s to a top 10 offense. We're talking about improving them from an okay/slightly above average offense to a good offense.
Claeys out at Minnesota. @TonyGin&Juice in.
Can you just save the bandwidth and give us who you weren't mistaken for? The last set of donations only gonna take us so far man.
