And now the line is down to -8. 

I follow vegas lines all the time......what happens the day before leading up to kickoff will be hugely indicative. If line goes back up to 9 or 9.5, good news, if its keeps dropping, get ready for a legit potential upset. 

This is not the game for anyone to be walking into confident. Those players up north are going to use the motivation of last year and the idea of ruining out season as the driving force to throw everything they have at us. 

People who think we are going to blow them out are just being stupid. 

sorry but these threads are just so dumb. 

this is going to be a very very close game, and I hope this type of confidence to even contemplate running up the score isn't even in Day or the players' minds. 

Are we seriously not going to have a primetime night game all year? 

Are we still having trouble recruiting DTs? 

Every year there is a flavor.....RB is the new DT. 

LOL

the celebration was amazing, never seen a team be so excited to beat a team that almost upset the shit out if them....it was like they win a real game and a real opponent 

not true

this is all I needed to see from the year before to know Haskins was the next great Buckeye 

Whatever happens, happens. 

I am just curious what, if anything, happened in the past week. Is there something drastic that jarred Bijan and his team? Does he know something we don't? Just an explanation would be great. Every single one of our commits, every national, regional 247 and Rivals, and even our own experts (Andrew, Birm, etc.) had this locked up to us. And then, out of nowhere, to everyone's surprise, it completely flips 3 days before. 

I just want to know WTF went awry. 

If Bijan wants to play in Texas, be my guest dude. It's your life, do with it what you want. Not trying to be a OSU homer here, I just genuinely think that's a bad move. If he chose Bama, or Georgia or Clemson, I couldn't objectively say that, but Texas won't go anywhere anytime soon. 

reputable Texas A&M Insider CB's Bijan to the good guys......further validating the expectation of good news in a couple of weeks 

Birm also didn’t even mention VTech when talking about Nester, so he completing whiffed on that one. Not to say he doesn’t have good info elsewhere, but just saying if he says something doesn’t mean it’s accurate. 

I just don't see why Nester would even consider VTECH when you can come play for OSU. 

His oline coach is staying

Distance is not an issue with Columbus

Real early playing time is possible

OSU is a top 5 college football program

....and he was ALREADY committed, so he likes the school and the environment.

If he flips, it 100% has to be about hid discomfort for Day. No other reason makes sense at this point. 

What’s with the DVs? 

what I do know is that the 2014 Championship included a TTUN ass whooping. I'll take that parlay thank you very much

Where's JK?

I haven't seen him get any touches...

So we now expect insiders to post their sources? 

That is the reason they are INSIDERS...they have INSIDE information. And you know how you stay an INSIDER? By not revealing your sources. Some folks around here are just too funny. Happy Holidays ya'll. 

I think he will leave for the NFL and he will likely cash in with a mid to late first round pick. 

Objectively speaking, I honestly believe it's in his best interest to come back for one more year. I think he was finally starting to develop his pocket presence, coverage reading, and mobility skills at the tail end of the season. I think to maximize his probability of long term success in the NFL, he should stay in the college game one more year, especially considering the stability of our offensive coaching and philosophy.

With that said, there is also obviously a risk of injury. 

VICTOR SUCKS

literally one of the more overrated and underachieving recruits that has come to OSU in the past 4 years. 

1. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS? HAHAHA. Ok, we had like 10% chance when the day started. Now, it's NEGATIVE!. 

2. We are the same shitty team pre-rivalry week! 

3. If things don't seriously change this off season we are going to be in this pain for a long long time! 

No, rivalry week is always an anomaly. 

This is the same way this team has bee playing ALL year. 

People just think just because we beat a shitty UM team, that we are not Alabama-esque. We are simply showing our true colors again. 

Crappy running game, penalties out the ass, shitty defense, big plays, etc...welcome back to reality boys

I hope Schiano get's an offer and leaves ...SO BAD

I hope Davis is FIRED

homer

I don't know what happens this year, but if this defense doesn't get fixed this off season get prepared for many many many years of missing the playoffs. 

We are back!!

penalty drive killers + big running plays
