harveycmd Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Specifically, I want to get some feedback on Will Howard. I've watched some Ohio State fans gush on this guy, but I don't get it. He was an average Big 12 QB. He transferred because he wasn't going to even start in 2024. He personally lost the game to OK State in 2023. This is the glaring hole for the Buckeyes in 2024. If we face them in the playoff, I hope Will Howard is their QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Leininger Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Going to be interesting to see how OSU adjusts to having to play more than 1 game a season with the expanded B1G. I mean holy poop that OOC schedule is embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got Julian Sayin and I know true freshmen starting is rare and rarely works out, but think he could beat out Howard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard will have one of his multiple interception games and the OSU fanbase will go bucknuts. I don't see Sayin taking over. Probably be Devin Brown.

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 7 Moderators Share Posted March 7 For me, Riley Leonard was the biggest portal win for any team … ND. To this point in their college career’s, zero comparison between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Leonard being good enough to elevate them to true national title contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the scheduled to get to the 12 team playoff with a season opening win at Texas A&M, however. at Texas A&M Northern Illinois at Purdue Miami (Ohio) Louisville Stanford at Georgia Tech Navy (N) Florida State Virginia Army (N) at USC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Leonard making a big difference because they don't have the skill players to compete with the highest level SEC and Big 10 teams. I'm sure they will make the playoff if they win ten games. That would likely mean they went 2-2 against the four potentially tough teams they play (A&M, Louisville, Florida State and USC). That said, there is a very good chance none of those four teams will make the playoff, so I seriously doubt ND belongs even if they go 10-2. That will be much more of a TV decision than Alabama was over Florida State in 2023. Edited March 7 by harveycmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookem97 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I think Dillon Gabriel will surprise a lot of people. I give it to him as the biggest portal win. A lot a lot of weapons at Oregon. Evan Stewart is just the cherry on top for Lanning. Dillon Gabriel will replace Nix like Nix never left IMO. I hope to see Oregon in the CFP next year. Hook'em.

Hookem97 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Cam Ward @ Miami IMO could make some noise as well. I put Ward & Gabriel above Will Howard. Will Howard is like a Mac Jones to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
