We wanted him in prison for treason. He did go 4/4 in the playoffs so we are hoping (praying) that momentum carries over into the regular season

I think it’s because in their minds Ohio State has the best secondary in CFB, and if Texas has the #1 LB room, then Ohio State has the #2 LB room. That combined with two new WRs, and 4 new OL and a new TE they aren’t expecting Texas to be able to move the ball consistently unless it’s coming from Arch’s legs

After Michigan last year, what do you guys think about your place kicker? We dealt with Auburn and his right hash issues, and decided he had to go.

Yep. Today by 5:00 EST is what I've seen.

I am also worried about this game as is Buckeye Nation. Frankly pounding the rock inside may be a recipe for success against us.. Our D-Line is new, they have experience but this will be their first year as starters. The matchups in this game are going to be fun to watch, if it is a tight one as I expect it to be, who make the better adjustments at half. We have both a new OC & DC.

🤣 I'll pass. Klatt is still concused and Urban Myer is still sniffing his finger.

My take on this: Sarks 15 play script success : bama…Michigan… A&m … it his secret to drown out 110,000 fans and neutralize genius def coordinator calls Arch is a fast - decisive… attack … play him wuick i predict Sarks goin fast fast fast … no huddle…doubling down on Arches … strengths no way he lets his qb get overwhelmed by overthinking, allowing defenses to call in plays , faking looks Sarks scripts combined with Arch could be lightening in a bottle… … Sark believes Arch is a version of Burrows… a champion.., Sark knows what he has… a Manning that is better than Peyton and Eli… eventually Sark will just keep firing… goin fast, Arch plays fast… thats who he is fundamentally worst mistake Sark could do is play Arch in a slow …read the def…, allow def coor to confuse him play him quick… fast.. scripted especially in his first big game! Play your players quick.. machine like.. full throttle less thinking, full speed those first 15 plays!

Popcorn in hand. Similar to Fox One, Hulu is another good option as well. I believe the contract ends today, correct?

Why are they talking about Arch as if he's Josh Allen? Sark isn't going to run zone read and designed run plays when he doesn't know who the backup qb is. Sure Arch may scramble here and there, but the Arch that got knocked out the game isn't the Arch Ohio State is going to see. That was just a package to get Arch in the game last year.

I'll give them a listen.

I know this was to Ironmanz but I listen to “Austin & Birm” podcast. It’s a daily podcast just like OTF. As far as content to read, you can’t go wrong with ElevenWarriors.com

I hear your logic, that you shouldn’t need any extra motivation in a game like this. But I think when you’re coming of a national championship you do whatever you have to in order to make sure your players keep that edge and don’t get complacent

Opendorse just released a report regarding positional NIL earnings in college football. I found this pretty interesting and thought I'd share with the class...

Serious question, banter aside, who in the Buckeye space can I go and listen to that isn't going to just say JJ Smith and Downs for thirty minutes? I enjoy honest assessments of our weekly matchup and so far no one I've listened to have provided anything they may have worries about, it's all sunshine and rainbows.

thanks Big G

If you have the time ... this is great stuff overall

Yessir. Obviously Texas could match or eclipse that number depending on CFP.

I'd be lying if I said I'm not worried about the offensive line. I have some pause there, but nothing outrageous. If there's one thing I'm confident this line will be able to do is get a push. This offensive line was already known to be better run blockers than pass protectors. With the was Sark operates his offense, he has something he hasn't had in a back since Roschon. That's someone who can run inside, now he has that in Baxter, Gibson, and Clark. This difference this year is he has the arm to make you pay when the safety gets caught looking in the backfield.

That's my point is all, this is not everyone out there. A lot of people are saying that Texas is overrated and are picking Ohio State. As I said, it's hard to believe this is going to be used to pump up the Ohio State players, lol. That would be a weak ass argument to make to your team. But what do I know. Best of luck to your guys and I hope they all stay healthy and that we win (you gotta give me that one lol). Either way, I think it'll be a great game.

Good Point. Frankly I think both Coaches would have preferred this to be a week 2-3 match up, but it is what it is.

Yes a still image of 3 guys converging on the guy being thrown the ball. Great shot. Just like the one Smith replied to saying they had 3 guys covering him but watching the actual clip showed differently. Don't get me wrong, he's a freak of an athlete but this narrative that goes on around that game is hilarious. He'll be a handful again, no doubt.

I may be looking through my scarlet colored glass when thinking this way, but I’m glad we have Texas week one instead of week 3 or 4. I think the unit that takes the longest to gel is the OL, so I’m glad Ohio State gets to play them with a banger out Goosby and no chance to gel.
