I like the over the top that close to the goal line. It's so easy and all it takes is a short reach and jump. Way better than lowering head and hoping to get in especially when Ohio State packed 4 guys over our G-C-G. 

Yes like LaDainian Tomlinson and Priest Holmes back in the day

Both statements can be true at the same time—they aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s not about pushing a negative take, it’s about looking at the facts.

Sark didn’t have Manning prepared yesterday speaks to coaching, game planning, and execution. Even a good quarterback can struggle if the game plan is poor or the team isn’t ready.

Manning being better than a 7th round pick Quinn Ewers is about the players’ talent levels or career ceiling. Manning being a more talented or capable quarterback doesn’t automatically mean he would succeed if the preparation or system was flawed but he’d have given them the best chance had he played all of last season. 

 

 

I bet you own a Manning jersey.

The problem is Neto hasn’t played fullback. That was the line of thinking against OU at the goal line with Murphy and Sweat. There are still fundamentals and position know how to evolve. 
 

Arch has to learn the rhythm of the QB sneak, if he takes a beat slower and goes to the left at tOSU, that’s a TD. 

Who cares run dive & run right behind Neto.. Gotta try something other than what Sark is doing

Neto didn’t play that much. Stroh was better. I agree with you on trying the play call. My point is everything has to be executed. Any play can fail due to poor execution. I encourage everyone to go volunteer coach any sport, if you haven’t.

What are you talking about as a fullback on dive you blow up any defender that's coming into or that's in the gap & everyone else has to do their job.. Neto is a run blocking guard, I know he didn't play much bud..

there’s a difference in firing out of a stance, and running and hitting a moving target

He is a guard it's what he does when he moves to the second level or pulls, end of convo..

Arch will improve as he gains more experience. That is a given. To what level … we shall see.

Sark has been coaching for 25 years. Does he need 30? Or 40 years of experience to get more creative in the red zone? Anyone that watches college football sees creativity an the RZ from coast to coast

Gerry - Is it a lack of creativity—-or stubbornness on Sarks part as he has admitted to himself. 🤦🏽‍♂️
