Meyer is not a gracious guy. Very full of himself. Gives Sark some backhanded compliments, but adds, "Who couldn't win at Texas or USC?" Well, Urban, we've seen our share of those who couldn't, but Sark rebuilt UT in three years if getting to the CFP is a measure. We dodged a bullet with Urban (Team isn't performing well -- I'm having sudden health issues) Meyer.

Yea, Ohio state doesn’t have to pay for recruits…they all come free. You just had the most expensive roster in college football last year as reported by all the national sports news stations. You’re a 🤡. No wonder yall have such a bad reputation as a fan base. Pretty sure the record is 2-2 little kid.

"Not as soft ass yankee" You're an idiot Maybe the OU/UT rivalry is different, but we don't play that. If you're a Michigan fan talking sh*t about our coach and his family and paying for recruits, we're not nearly as soft to let you just come into our stadium. Also, you're just Penn State to us. Win before you start going out calling other programs soft when you can't match the physicality of Georgia or Ohio State. We're going to find out a lot about who is softer on Saturday. 5/5 of Ohio State's OL are from the North. 4/5 are from the state of Ohio. Max Klare is from Ohio. Both of our linebackers are from Ohio, and 3/4 of our starting secondary are from the North. We'll see you on Saturday.

How is banning someone from the stadium “behind the scenes.” Now you’re stretching. It’s ok wet tissue paper. I’d say it’s pretty soft to create an account on another fan base’s site just to respond to anyone that disparages your team as well, but I’m a Texan and not a soft ass yankee so maybe the metrics are different.

For sure, can't argue with anything you just stated

Without Emmett Mosley I feel light at receiver (feels like he isn’t playing). Wingo, Moore, Livingstone, Endries, Baxter, Wisner might be the only pass catchers / targets this game. Maybe Dylan McCutcheon sees game time. Only 5 players caught a pass at Michigan last year. Had 9 against Ohio State last year.

Point taken. But again your best guy was not a second unit guy. Neither was your other tackle. I’m not certain why we played a guy at less 100%, but it bit us in the end. You previously referenced out playing our Oline. That likely played a part. The screen pass was good execution on your part, poor recognition on ours more so than our play call. Then our attempt at tackle was poor and took out a secondary tackler.

Ok. You won in spite of one guy.

Where as the offensive success was based around the OL, it wasn't Denzel Burke leading the defensive success. It was more scheme and DL + Caleb Downs and the rest of the secondary.

I tend to agree. Sark has gone 4-wide with a TE as part of that. We will see how Endries fits in with that. Based on what I’ve seen earlier, at least last year, yall go to Man defense more than we do. I previously mentioned our variability. I think that’s our approach to coverage - mix it up and allow flexibility. So is Burke national championship caliber or not? He won one so he must be. But it’s almost like are saying he’s not good enough or not OSU good.

I'm going to move forward with the assumption Mosley will miss Saturday's game. I am also going to move forward with the assumption that Goosby WILL PLAY on Saturday. Will Goosby start? Is that the expectation, or just play at some point? Day is typically very secretive about injuries. Usually we don't find out until the 11am Gameday availability report, but so far there are no rumored injuries that Ohio State is dealing with.

But yet, Ohio State is soft?

Bro, if ya'll allowed OU boosters behind the scenes of your football program, that would be idiotic.

Steve Sarkisian participated in today’s SEC Football Coaches Weekly Media Teleconference. The teleconference is a much tighter window than Sarkisian’s Monday press conference or his Thursday Zoom call (his portion of the call lasted less than six minutes). Still, Sarkisian’s comments on Wednesday addressed a few key topics ahead of No. 1 Texas opening the 2025 season on Saturday against No. 3 Ohio State (11 a.m., Fox). — When asked if Emmett Mosley V will be available for Saturday’s game, Sarkisian said the Stanford wide receiver transfer is “limited this week.” He didn’t elaborate further. Presumably, the first three wideouts to see the field against the Buckeyes will be DeAndre Moore Jr., Ryan Wingo and Parker Livingstone. If Mosley doesn’t play, the wide receiver rotation will be filled out by players the staff trusts. “At the end of the day, it's not about ability; it's what you're able to do,” Sarkisian said. “What you're able to do is what ultimately you show us, and then if you can do it consistently, that earns our trust. When you have our trust, we're going to play you." — What is Sarkisian hoping to learn about his team inside the Horseshoe against the Buckeyes? “Everything,” he said. “It's a new team. New people doing new things. New roles, new responsibilities. Everybody's had to elevate their game from last year to the next, whether it's a third-year player to a senior player, a second-year player to a third-year player, from a special teams guy playing more on offense or defense, from kids who were in high school now playing for us in college. I'm curious about it all. It's going to be fun to get answers to a lot of things that we have questions about, which, quite frankly, is just about everything.” — This isn’t the first time in Sarkisian’s career as a head coach when he’s had to open a season against the opponent his team played to end the previous season. Washington’s 2012 season ended with a 28-26 loss to No. 20 Boise State in the Las Vegas Bowl, but Sarkisian’s fifth campaign in 2013 started with the Huskies welcoming the Broncos to Seattle, a game Washington won convincingly, 38-6. Sarkisian’s Huskies also avenged a 56-21 loss to No. 8 Nebraska in the third game of the 2010 season with a 19-7 win over 17th-ranked Huskers in the Holiday Bowl, which wrapped up his second season at Washington with the program’s first winning record (7-6) in eight years. For Sarkisian, going 232 days between meetings with a non-conference opponent, even one as talented as the reigning national champions, isn’t foreign. “Part of it is, schematically, how much are people really going to change? Names and faces, some of them can remain the same. Some of them are new. How do people evolve and grow in their roles — some of the returning faces? There's challenges to it all,” Sarkisian said. “I think, at the end of the day, there's some commonalities, I'm sure, that they'll be, that they do. There'll be some new things. Maybe they move some pieces around, some people in different spots. What do they do with Jeremiah [Smith]? Do they use them the same way? Do they use him differently? Do they use them on punt returns? Do they use him on kick returns? How much did they do with Caleb Downs? Sonny Styles? A lot of similar names from last year, it's just, how much do they evolve? Then, how much have we evolved with some of the people in our organization and some of the schemes? That's part of the process of [a season opener]. That's always one of the challenges of Game 1 is the unknowns, and then trying to put your players in the best position to have some success.” View full news story

The all-22 is the way to watch a game. That's a really cool perspective. I'm excited to see these two behemoths face-off again. I'm going to miss our Jaydon Blue cheat-code catching seams out of the backfield.

Don’t like that Mosley is injured, but this is a great opportunity for the young WRs Chris Jackson recruited from high school to step up. That experience will bode well for them when they get into conference play and beyond.

Is it purely injury related or something else? Sark’s answers haven’t made that super clear. Thanks for the update.

Probably the question that needs to be asked.

It seems like the question isn’t will he play Saturday but will he be available against the OOC schedule or even Florida.

Considering he hasn't been practicing, I don't think this is the plan.

Yep, hasn't practice all fall. McCutcheon, Butler, Lockett are the next three up.

Not move on, but the goal is 16 games and we're going to need him more later. We don't want whatever is ailing him to linger like Bond.

This might be a dumb question, but given that Sark has been so nonspecific and short in his answers about Mosley for the last week or two, is it possible this is a tactical move to avoid giving any clarity? Is it possible Mosley is further along than we realize and Sark is trying not to give anything away to OSU for their game planning?

Well done lol
