Against Iowa:

We had 3 scoring drives of 60 or more yards that = 21 points

We had 4 scoring drives of 40 or more yards that = 28 points

Wolverines had 3 scoring drives of 60 or more yards that = 17

Wolverines had 4 scoring drives of 40 or more yards that = 20

One of my favorite things about seeing a game live is getting a refresher on how athletic these guys really are and the details you miss watching the game on tv. Take it for what it’s worth.

The Good:
1. The future at cornerback looks really good. Hancock looked pretty healthy after all that time off, he and JK look like prototypes. I’m judging Walton’s early tenure on how good he gets JK because he’s a bit raw. Burke is very talented and I think he knows it a bit too much haha
2. Lathan Ransom is so good. After the preseason hype and ND game I have no idea why he wasn’t the clear starter since then.
3. Cade Stover is the best tight end we’ve had in a very long time. Still shocked how natural he looks catching the ball.

Bad/We’re Spoiled:
1. He’s clearly good so don’t get me wrong, but I understand the trepidation on CJ as a pro prospect. He tends to zero in on his first read and rarely throws guys open with zip. Wasn’t wowed.
2. I have a theory why Henderson is more choppy with this footwork and doesn’t have his usual speed this year, he hates the turf. He was visibly upset after a couple runs he slipped while running full speed. I don’t think any injury is hampering him much because his fast is fast, just a lack of trust making cuts.
3. McCallister is always where he should be and a very smart player, he was running routes before the receivers were. That said, he is not the athlete like the rest of secondary is. The height/weight/speed isn’t there and I’m concerned a playoff caliber team will take advantage.

Ugly
1. Shame on the Ohio State training staff. I don’t care what any sources said, I have eyes. JSN was CLEARLY unhealthy during the pregame and had a hitch. After that corner route it was obvious re-aggravated it. I’m in the camp we’ve seen the last of a fully healthy JSN at Ohio State. I hate saying that but feel that’s the new reality.

I really enjoy this podcast but I have one complaint…. Schlegs has the voice of a wild man but looks like my insurance agent… let’s get that fixed 😂

Do any of our guys have nicknames?

I'm 41. It seems like there are fewer and fewer athletes have nicknames and I'm not really sure why.

Dudes like Marvin Harrison, Paris Johnson and Tommy Eichenberg deserve bad ass nicknames.

He's thrown an interception in each of the last 4 games. A couple of them have been really bad decisions. His combined numbers in those games after throwing the interception: 37-for49 (75.5%) for 670 yards (13.7 YPA) and 13 touchdowns. That's ... not bad.

They had one touchdown in the first 35 minutes against Iowa, and then rattled off four touchdowns in 16 minutes. There was good and bad, but figuring it out against a good defense feels encouraging

He showed some versatility lining up at tackle, and made a couple of splash plays on Saturday. More of that from Harrison could help this defense unlock more disruption and takeaways.

Hour and half until kick offs. Let’s gooo.

Point # 1.

Once again we have played another team that’s flawless on the O line.

11 Whole yards in Penalties

•Not ONE holding call.
• Not ONE Pass Interface
• Not ONE PF - Late Hit, Rouging the QB, or Unsportsmanlike on Iowa.

OSU? Did you really have any doubts? lol.

We had EVERY one of those called on us.

• Holding
• Pass Interference
• Unsportsmanlike.

The shit continues Every.—— Game.

Even with homer scarlet and gray glasses on how is it possible that we (Seemingly) (Unbelievably) play THE BEST O line in the country every fkn week. ??

Point #2 and for me THE most concerning by far is the unwilling truly mystifying decision (effort) on CJ to completely disregard the open field in front on him on 3rd and 5or6 and chuck the gotdamn ball into double coverage?!

Had a chance to watch the game and I counted NO LESS than 4 times CJ had numerous yards (over 5-6) ++ easily with no contact to gain a 1st down or get 3rd and short. Nope. Didn’t even consider it.

Honest to God a pregnant quadriplegic could have gained a 1st down with that much damn field in front of him. (not meant to offend anyone) my apologies

I just can’t understand it, these are easy no brainer run out of bounds 5-6-7 yds that make a gigantic difference in top matchups.

If we lose the Scum game because his soft ass doesn’t want to get hit I’ll personally put his balls in a Bear trap and set them in fire.

I’m elated with the big win but I’m addressing serious issues that will drastically effect our mission to go undefeated and beat the ever living dog shit out of scummers.

RUN.THE.DAMN.BALL. CJ. Please…..

My rant is over and I’m going to sleep.

45-0. Let’s get er dun.

Hey all, was at Carter's game tonight and caught up with him afterwards. He confirmed with me that he will take an official with Ohio State the weekend of November 12th. He is heading to LSU this weekend for an official visit, Tennessee will get one on Oct. 29th, and Alabama will be his last OV on Nov. 26th. Will have a video interview with Carter dropping soon.

Game day boys! Let’s get it going.

Flying all day in Wilmington Delaware and will miss the game. Feel gut shot.

I’ll need good play by play info here people!! 🥰🥰

In Escanaba, MI! GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! O-H!

That is all

And Moeller play Dante Moore and Detroit MLK tonight. Hoping to have some kind of update on Marshall’s recruitment for the morning. I know he’s visiting Penn State tomorrow.

Just curious on the longer this carry’s on do you think is better for OSU? I think we all know where he would rather go. The problem is to convince others the reason why. Is he needing more time to do some convincing?

Sigh

1. Do the Buckeyes cover the 29 point spread tomorrow?

2. Best for dipping a hot pretzel: stadium mustard, yellow mustard, nacho cheese or beer cheese?

3. Who was your favorite athlete growing up?

4. Aside from Ohio State, what game are you most looking forward to this weekend?

5. Where does Halloween rank on your list of holidays? (no, we aren’t arguing if it’s really a holiday or not)
