Stop panicking. This is not last year.

[Coreyh14]

Last year Week 1 was Ohio State and Arch was still raw. This year is different.

We’ve got a clearly better offensive line, a stronger running back room, and a deeper, more talented receiver group. We also get a softer Week 1 opponent to let things gel before Ohio State comes to DKR — a massive home-field advantage.

The linebacker concerns are being overblown. Yes, depth could be tested at times, but that’s just college football. How many teams actually have two full lines of reliable LBs? Panic would be justified if we hadn’t landed Biles and Cryer. We did. Plus two freakish rookies. Meanwhile Bo Mascoe and Phillips are playing so consistently well that they barely even get mentioned.

People need to relax and be patient. Sark cutting a player shows real strength in the locker room and confidence in the depth. Admit it — weak locker rooms will tolerate much worse situations—-NIL times you can’t turn off donors with detrimental conduct   SECURE THE BAGS! 

And one more thing: no QB scrambles in the scrimmage. That’s a defensive coordinator’s wet dream in real games. Nobody wants to have to account for Arch as a run threat.
