They really didn’t play a prominent role. If you believe that, then you need to say we have 3/5 guys on the Oline because that’s how many have played “prominent” roles in championship or playoff games. I’m guessing a number of those reps are in the final one or two drives after it was game over. This is after you said they’ve played hundreds more snaps than Arch, which is clearly not the case. For a QB, two starts is valuable. There’s some value in the limited snaps versus UGa, A&M and OSU. For him, more than his lack of experience, is whether he gets good pass protection. Same for Sayin. Reps certainly matter, but his pedigree is wholly unique. By and large it’s evenly matched.

Anyone know of any games that would be good to check out in a couple of weeks or have a website that lists the games for the above week? Again, @Gerry Hamilton may know more than anyone about this but I thought I would ask.😁🤘

I saw where the former RB coach at Duncanville is going to my alma mater South Garland. Anyone know about his coaching ability? @Gerry Hamilton may know something. I know he used to play there in high school and was a pretty good player from what I recall. He's also hired Cedric Dockery as the offensive line coach so that will be awesome I'm sure.

If only adults could show as much grace as Arch does on a daily basis. He's all class in terms of how he has managed his situation.

Well it’s at -1.5 now big guy. Moving the wrong way for you. Vegas knows more often than not. The -3.5 was to reel in the Texas $$.

Never said it would go towards Texas. Idk how much you bet or follow it but I do closely. There’s a better chance I suit up at LT than OSU is -5.5. Barring a catastrophic injury of course. I would guess that OSU is somewhere between -1 and -3 come kick.

100%. The absolute worst thing that could happen is for the game to be decided by a controversial call and that be the talk of the season, rather than how great of a game it was and how Texas or Ohio State earned that one.

I just said on the road with 4/5 new OL my prediction is he will struggle. I also have the humility to admit I could be completely wrong and we leave that stadium as quiet as we did in 2005 😞 The line is going to move one way or the other hours before the game. It always does. You just think it’s going to go towards Texas, I think it’s going to go towards the home team. Neither prediction is off base, because it is going to move, we are both just guessing which way that will be.

I whole heartedly agree.

It means the 2024 FSU OL was awful.

I am acting in good faith. All of those guys played prominent roles in the playoffs. I remember seeing Arch for one play and they didn’t let him throw against Ohio State. Arch’s snaps are against Mississippi State and some team from Louisiana. All of those guys’ snaps were against Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame.

He’s probably a good player. Had 6 sacks in back-to-back games. Not sure what that means exactly.

It’s cosmic karma being dealt. However, as a person who had a family member’s life lost to a drunk driver, it’s in no way satisfying.

McDonald has played 247 snaps. Houston 141. Hartford 253. McLain 107. Montgomery 305. Siev 495. Peoples 94. Sayin 27. Arch 260. Either act in good faith or don’t act at all. But you are correct that not all experience is the same.

Didn’t you say earlier that Arch would struggle to pass in front of 100,000 people and likely would only have success with his legs? You can’t have it both ways my guy. And if you think OSU will be -5.5, remember one thing. Don’t Get High Off Your Own Supply.

Beau Atkinson had 7.5 sacks himself last season as a backup at North Carolina. But please don’t take my “unearned hype for Arch” as the insult it comes across as. There’s a very real chance Arch earns that hype against my Buckeyes. There’s a reason Texas are the favorites to win the national championship. Vegas loves Texas’ D and Vegas believes Arch is the real deal.

I personally don’t see the irony in it. All of those guys have played hundreds more snaps than Arch. Arch’s toughest start came vs a Mississippi State team that was blown out by Toledo.

Playing Texas week one is much better for Ohio State though. Offensive line takes the longest to gel and become a cohesive unit.

No doubt. Good Point, we lost 14 to the NFL draft. Lots of questions to be answered. Frankly, I wish we were playing you guys week 3 or 4 instead. Guessing Texas would prefer to also play us after a couple tune ups so your newer O-line has tie to gel. Minimize mistakes by the QB and solid play in the trenches or a critical turnover most likely decide the outcome.

7/87 keeps the chains moving, I call it a big game against the Long Horns. If Texas brackets Smith with help over the top again, then we will just check down to Tate/Klare/Innis or a RB. Plenty of talent to distribute the ball too. OSU is wide Receiver U. The challenge vs Texas is can we keep Sayin upright long enough to deliver the ball to our play makers and can Sayin delver on the big stage. Won't know until 8/30.... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40734302/how-ohio-state-became-wide-receiver-u

Interesting. And ironic. True on the unearned hype for Arch. Yet yall are hyping Klare and his 4 career TDs. You’re hyping your 3 returning DLine guys with their total of 8 sacks or whatever. Your interior oline. All unearned as well. You didn’t just lose talent. You lost a lot, of not just starters, but multi-year starters from your better unit.

nope, wasn't me. I'm one of those opposing fans that actually understands that the other guys can have great players also and not every player on my team is better than every player on your team. Both these teams have stacked rosters with great talent. Same with coaches, I'm a Sark fan always have been but our guy is pretty good too. Endries is a good football player and was a nice pick up for you guys. I guess we're so happy to have Klare is that's a proven talent that's gonna complement well our threats on the outside and not something we utilized alot last year. Sort of like a new toy that will goes really well with the other shiny toys in the box. I think he's going to add another dimension to the offense

Congratulations @Blake Munroe Will it be live? Got to brush up on my Southeast Texas teams(Golden Triangle) I've been asking for this guest now for 2 years. Y'all have got to get the legend Coach Ken Purcell on the show

Longview of course.
