    I would say that that goes against everything I have read about Sayin this off season. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but that is definitely not Sayin’s reputation.

    Ryan Day is a class act all the way around. He is a very good human being. Urban Meyer was an elite HC but seemed to be pretty shitty off the field.

    Sarcasm noted haha. Ohio State hasn’t had a championship caliber K in over a decade though 😞

    The IOL didn’t just play a month of football, they lead Ohio State to a national championship. That is a proven national championship winning IOL

    Yeah, he was always a guard. Him being moved to not only tackle but left tackle took everyone by surprise. However, everyone has been singing his praises all off season, we’re expecting big things from him with the way those around the program are talking about him. He supplanted Onianwa very quickly in fall camp.

    I don’t know who Juck is, but I haven’t heard that at all. Although there’s a reason he’s not the starting RT, assuming it’s even true that Phillip Daniels beat him out, nobody knows for sure yet. I admit that nobody is raving about Onianwa either. I personally think he struggled athletically against the edges and they realized quickly he’s better suited as a guard, but Ohio State has 3 unquestioned starters on the IOL

    So Ohio State’s healthy starting OL last year would have been LT Josh Simmons LG Donovan Jackson C Seth Mclaughlin RG Tegra Tshabola RT Josh Fryer The OL for the Cotton Bowl was LT Donovan Jackson LG Luke Montgomery (starting LG 8/30) C Carson Hinzman (starting C on 8/30) RG Tegra Tshabola (starting RG on 8/30) RT Josh Fryar

    Nah, he was Minnesota’s starting RT last season for the second half of their season. RS Sophomore this season.

    So according to our version of the morning show, Onianwa lost 20 pounds and has looked the part but that Phillip Daniels has exceeded expectations and has simply beat out Phillip Daniels. I obviously haven’t seen any practices so that’s all I have to go off of. Also, during player interviews they’ve all raved about how good Phillip Daniels has been this camp. We’ll find out on 8/30 if it was a case of Onianwa just not being good enough for this level or if Daniels is really that good

    Is Bobby one of the guys on the Coffee & Football podcast? If so, I’m more than happy to support them. I like this podcast a lot.

    Good luck on 8/30. It’s going to be an experience for all involved.

    Vegas set the initial line at -3.5. That’s what Vegas’ analytics are telling them. It’s the casual betting public who are moving the line right now, not Vegas. The smart money will come in Saturday morning before the game, that’s the movement to watch. The movement right now means nothing.
  13. LovingBuckeye
    I think you are going to find out the hard way on 8/30 that those guys are all experienced. Until then, we will just have to agree to disagree.
  14. LovingBuckeye
    It’s -2.5 on FD, the only book I use. The initial line and the line the morning of the game are the only lines that matter. Right now it’s just casual gamblers moving the line.
  15. LovingBuckeye
    I primarily follow FanDuel. Ohio State is -2.5. If the spread only moved .5 after the smart money came in, I would be shocked. It’s going to move a couple points the morning of the game. We won’t know how the sharps are feeling about it until then. If I wake up and Texas is -.5 or it’s an even line, I’ll be extremely nervous.
  16. LovingBuckeye
    100%. The absolute worst thing that could happen is for the game to be decided by a controversial call and that be the talk of the season, rather than how great of a game it was and how Texas or Ohio State earned that one.
  17. LovingBuckeye
    I just said on the road with 4/5 new OL my prediction is he will struggle. I also have the humility to admit I could be completely wrong and we leave that stadium as quiet as we did in 2005 😞 The line is going to move one way or the other hours before the game. It always does. You just think it’s going to go towards Texas, I think it’s going to go towards the home team. Neither prediction is off base, because it is going to move, we are both just guessing which way that will be.
  18. LovingBuckeye
    I am acting in good faith. All of those guys played prominent roles in the playoffs. I remember seeing Arch for one play and they didn’t let him throw against Ohio State. Arch’s snaps are against Mississippi State and some team from Louisiana. All of those guys’ snaps were against Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame.
  19. LovingBuckeye
    Beau Atkinson had 7.5 sacks himself last season as a backup at North Carolina. But please don’t take my “unearned hype for Arch” as the insult it comes across as. There’s a very real chance Arch earns that hype against my Buckeyes. There’s a reason Texas are the favorites to win the national championship. Vegas loves Texas’ D and Vegas believes Arch is the real deal.
  20. LovingBuckeye
    I personally don’t see the irony in it. All of those guys have played hundreds more snaps than Arch. Arch’s toughest start came vs a Mississippi State team that was blown out by Toledo.
  21. LovingBuckeye
    Playing Texas week one is much better for Ohio State though. Offensive line takes the longest to gel and become a cohesive unit.
  22. LovingBuckeye
    It could be. I think it’ll be OSU -5.5 by game-time. A lot of casual bettors right now who believe Ohio State is the only team in this matchup to lose talent from last year’s game. Also, a lot of unearned Arch hype right now. Professionals are going to let this line drop as much as possible and then hammer Ohio State at 9am on 8/30.
  23. LovingBuckeye
    Yup, 100%. There’s a reason Vegas has this under a FG line.
  24. LovingBuckeye
    I wasn’t talking about Texas fans by the way. I was talking about the set up around the stadium. The mini state fair games, the silent DJ on the hill, such a good time.
  25. LovingBuckeye
    Yup, still to this do NO LOSS has EVER effected me more than the ‘05 loss to Texas. None of the losses to Michigan, none of the losses in national championship games, that game f’d me up for a while.
