Off-the field antics aside, Rose (who I'm not fond of, despite growing up as a Reds fan) has a much stronger case for enshrinement than Hornung, who basically was a merely a good multi-dimensional player on a great team.

Hartline has mentioned that he he so prepared that he has all the answers in the WR room.

Now only "what," but "why"

I couldn't have said it better myself (or shorter)

Protecting the QB was excellent, with sacks occurring less than 4% of the time, even though the QB wasn't a proficient scrambler, and even though we passed so often the defense could expect it was coming. run blocking was sub-par by Ohio State standards, probably due to a number of factors, one of which was having tackles (I.e., pass protectors) across the line.

It's 2020 when i'd worry about depth at OT, particularly if Munford leaves early for NFL. In 2019 depth at OT is a strength.

I'm late to the party, but congrats to both. Just keep those stripes coming off.

The major "recruiting expense," even if it's not tracked as such, is really the share of coaching salaries for the share of coaches' time that goes into recruiting. That's where Ohio State excels - at least in quality and likely in quantity.

Not in normal tomes, no. But in that season, in those circumstances, it would have been. One man's opinion, obviously.

I don't claim it was a good or reasonable prediction at the time, which is why, after the fact, it amazes me how close we came to having a respectable season of, say, 9 wins.

He can't really be any good; he was merely a 3-star recruit. /s

Congratulations to Bryson!

I thought Fick's 2011 Buckeyes would win at least 10, and have a shot at a 12-0 regular season.

It wasn't THAT far-fetched, with 6 of the 7 losses coming by 7 points or less, but the lack of an offense under Bollman and Siciliano doomed them.

I read where Dabo had given Wilkins a "talking to" afterwards, but there were no other apparent repercussions. And his teammate, Boulware was quoted saying that it was a thing Clemson players had been doing all season.  Yep, Dabo insists upon upstanding conduct by his players.

I'm going all in - 15 and 0 for the national championship, with a top 5 offense and top 10 defense. Go Bucks!

I think he's saying that second loss comes in the playoffs.

I realize I don't whenever I read one of the x and o articles here.

There are just so many reasons to be disturbed by that "BLAME" system.

... bitterly disappointed.

Love seeing the fire from Fick.

Actually, bacteria that consume feces are pretty darned useful. I suggest you find another low bar for comparison.

I think his first session with Coach Mick would be a good time to start his lessons.

And I'm sure he's free to spill pretty much whatever information anybody here might want know, if he were asked.  Day wouldn't mind.

Jump out to an early lead, and stay there.

Early signing day isn't until December. Let Dobbins rush for 100+ per game at 6+ per rush, as the Buckeyes streak to an undefeated season and Big Ten championship, and maybe Day gets a flip. A national championship would then lock down recruiting for the next cycle. There! See how easy that is?

Does this mean a vote for SeanforHeisman is no longer a possibility? In any case, best wishes to him as he pursues his alternate Plan A. He will do well in lufe.
