Outside of a very limited group Shedur was always viewed as a backup. Add that into the "daddy" issue and his draft stock plummeted. No one was willing to chance a high draft pick on a possible locker room/PR nightmare.
OSU showed to be a terrible matchup for pretty much anyone with the exception of their egg laid with MI. The UGA argument has some legs. Honestly UGA didn't have a real standout at WR on offense. They used our aggressive nature and exploited it. UGA made adjustments and locked our offense down...
Those guys run track for a reason most of the time. Most track guys that I have ever met shy away from contact. Not to mention a lot of these track guys have olympic dreams. The days of a dual sport athlete are almost all but gone.
I don't think anything is easier with the portal or the NIL. It does seem like it has opened up the ability for some non blue blood teams to have a decent run. I don't know how sustainable it is for a non blue blood to play with the big boys yearly though. I just don't think the donors are ready...
People forget that that we have reduced scholarships through 2028 because of that idiot bammer that was hired. While yes it is only 2-3 yearly that plays a huge part in recruiting when it comes to trench players. The early success was a double edged sword. It 100% helped overall in being able to...
Can we just take this L with some class and quit complaining? We flirted with this type of game all season with our terrible first half starts. OSU came out on fire and whipped us up front all night. Our defense was out of position on almost every play all game.
How physical are they going to let DB's play is the? I have a feeling this defense comes out trying to bully OSU early. Worked well for them in most games this season. I expect to see a lot of man press early.
The wild thing in all of this to me is normally things like this are just fan fodder or a pipe dream. This feels a little different though. You have the Uni Pres coming out basically begging his fans to come out. Then you have a lot of non UT media talking about it on top of things.
If UT...
I am not saying that we would be the majority. I am saying if UT brings 20-30K fans then this game doesn't have the same home game atmosphere for OSU that normal home games do. Sorry if I didn't make a good explanation originally. That's why I am saying it give it a semi neutral site feel.
This!!! UT fans didn't find out the donor code and leak it to bring 5-7K fans. Right now the OSU fans are pretty depressed with that MI loss again this year. I 100% could see this looking more like a semi neutral site game. Kind of like a UGA in the Benz atmosphere. Yeah the majority will be...
The biggest issue this year on offense is the execution. How many turnovers have they had once they are past the 50? These turnovers kill the momentum and it takes time to regain composure. I was frustrated at times this season with what felt like vanilla play-calling. Although oddly enough most...
Could be proven wrong. Although sure feels like an odd hire to me for both sides. You had Mac Brown who was fired at 73. You now hire Belichick who is 72. If its true that the AD was on the fence I can 100% see why. That is a terrible long term plan for your program. Add that into the fact that...
