He played 2 series at the end of the half down 17 points. Any player that can run for a 21 yard gain on UGa’s defense deserves to be on the field.

I think that just comes natural for Ohio State fans. Quinn Ewers was a sitting duck in the pocket and Will Howard could escape, that was the difference. Still, a 7 pt game with goal to go 2 minutes left in the game isn’t domination in any form. You tOsU and Big10 fans are masters of hyperbole. Win 2 nattys in a row and all of a sudden you are dominating. Meanwhile, when the SEC was rattling off 7 in a row, etc, you were crying about media bias

Dude you’re just trolling now. Hard

100 meter sprint times this guy- 10.7 Ryan Williams- 10.49

OU secondary exploitable confirmed

Nebraska hasn’t been a contending team since 2001. USC hasn’t been a contending team since 2005. USC has potential to get back to a perennial contender if a coach can emerge that just locks down California recruiting and can poach nationally. I do not think Nebraska can ever get back to their heyday. They’ve only ever won with one style and that style is gone. No elite recruits actually want to live in Nebraska. I can see 5 teams from the Big10 ever actually winning a modern title: Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon and USC. I’d be willing to bet good money no other team from the Big10 will win a championship in the next 10 years at least. In the SEC, there’s 8 teams (Bama, UGA, Texas, OU, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee) that have won since 1998. That’s literally half the conference. I could also see TAMU or Ole Miss contending for national titles in the next 10 years.

Do me a favor and count how many current current Big10 teams have won championships in the last 30 years. Do the same with current SEC teams and get back to me.

I wouldn't call it "typical" if it's four ranked P5 teams at home over the span of 13 years. Texas played Ohio State in regular season OOC 20 years ago- not the recent past. I will grant that they are starting to play more in the future. Though y'all's OOC schedule last year was weak.

Still, 1-1 is the same win %. Small sample size- tOSU doesn't commonly play strong OOC competition during the regular season, home or away.

Camp is a zero sum game. A dominant DL may also indicate the OL is having issues

I was curious- since the start of the Urban Meyer era Ohio State has played four games against OOC P5 teams at home that were ranked at the time of playing or at the end of the season (OU in 2017, TCU in 2018, Oregon in 2021 and ND in 2022). 2-2 in those games. Also a home loss to VaTech sprinkled in there. Not quite the indomitable fortress it's made out to be.

Dan Lanning- every sugar daddy needs an Oregon mom

Lol you FOR SURE don’t watch much Texas football. Arch Manning played 5 snaps vs UGA with 1:24 to go in the first half. He was pressured to move the ball down the field against an elite defense and the first thing he did was run for 21 yds and take us across the 50 for the first time in the game. Yeah, he took 2 sacks and fumbled a few plays later. It’s a different story actually starting the game with a script vs coming in down 17 pts with 1:24 left in the first half, wouldn’t you say? I guarantee you Arch has been in scarier situations than he will be in in Columbus. Sayin hasn’t.

4 of 5, including 2 first rounders. Moved the LG out to LT

Literally nothing I’ve ever seen about Sayin says indicates he has above average arm strength, including his HS tapes and the fact that he’s a skinny 5’11’’. He is accurate and has good arm talent. You’ll need to show me evidence to convince his actual arm strength is a strength. I haven’t even seen that in writing.

We’ll see how athletic he is in real game time against a fast defense. Tua wasn’t immensely athletic compared to Quinn. Quinn was “sneaky” athletic himself. I don’t think Quinn’s athleticism was his weakness. Pocket presence and deep ball accuracy. Tua was absolutely better than Quinn on those two fronts (though it’s kind of an unfair comparison with Bama’s OL in front of him). I will need to see Sayin have success throwing deep before I compare him to Tua (that was Tua’s defining trait). If he is a short and intermediate range merchant with “arm talent”, he’s closer to Quinn.

I wasn’t replying to you. I was replying to the Buckeye fan.

I haven’t even seen Sayin be great at throwing long personally. And I agree, I haven’t seen any evidence either of throwing bullets into tight windows. He looks like Quinn Ewers to me. Like very much. If his pocket presence is better with better deep ball accuracy, he could be very good. He had a lot of time to throw in the spring game. He didn’t look fast on scrambles.

Were they keeping his arm strength under wraps during the spring game? I think you might be confusing arm strength with arm talent/accuracy. https://youtu.be/mNHG4ZSQ0Tk?si=o8BAvzK2KoufZsTN

tOSU is replacing 2 1st rounders on the OL and will be as good or better? Highly doubt it lol Simmons was a part time player last year as a Freshman. I get your take though: all of tOSU’s first year starters will shock the world and all of Texas’ returning stars and first year starters will disappoint. 😂

Better cross your fingers that your new OL is ready in week one for the best pass rush they will face all year 🤞

lol yeah, that is definitely a biased opinion. Wishful thinking comes to mind. I don’t think you will be booted- wishful thinking isn’t against the rules. It’s also wishful thinking to think Ohio State’s defense will be better than the Texas defense Arch has faced for 2+ years. Texas’ defense has been better than Ohio State’s the last two years and tOSU lost what, 8 starters, on defense from last year? If you think the Texas defense wasn’t better than Ohio State’s defense last year, please explain 1 catch for 3 yards by Jeremiah Smith. Texas essentially had one busted play on defense that was the difference in the game, plus sack fumble Quinn. I will easily grant you that tOSU’s offense was better than Texas’ and the best in the country last year. But again, lost a lot of key starters. Y’all essentially had the #1 and #2 backs in the country last year. Will not be the case this year.

99% of QBs are bigger than Kyler Murray. 😂 How does the speed compare? I’m willing to bet his 40 time is about 0.3 seconds slower at best.

Based on what exactly? The 12 pass attempts Sayin has had in his career to this point? 😂

A new coach has about 2-3 years to start having solid seasons (10+ wins) and about 5 years to start winning titles (conference or national). Georgia won the SEC in Kirby’s second year and made the national title game. That gave Kirby some leeway for a few years before crossing the finish line. Ohio State has been on a trajectory of one national title every ten years since 2002. Their fans and program want more frequent championships, but one every 10 years is a better rate than 90%+ of programs. On top of that, they’re perennially in the mix for conference titles and have finished national runner up several other times. That is enough to sustain recruiting. Oregon has been consistently in the mix for conference titles since Chip Kelly and has made the national title game- that plus daddy warbucks is enough to sustain recruiting. Michigan’s recruiting wasn’t ever stellar- they just recruited good enough, developed and retained so that they had good enough talent and exceptional experience, plus they didn’t have to play a very tough schedule (except for tOSU). Plus Connor Stallions. Alabama won a national title in Saban’s 3rd year and 3 in his first 6 years. A fairly incomparable situation, wouldn’t you say? The Aggies are actually exactly the modern program/recruiting nightmare that can happen when the recruiting blank checks run out before you capitalize on quality recruiting classes with conference or national titles. IMO, we need to at least make the title game with Arch. Preferably this year.
