I believe that Browning, Mitchell and Pope will all play a lot at LB this year. Perhaps Gant as well.

Both men deserve a lot of playing time this season.  However, NPF also deserves a lot.  If he is not the starting RT, he should be the backup at both Tackle positions.  I believe that his will be a very solid OL and quite deep.  Cupp also deserves some PT.

How ironic for Jim Harbaugh to criticize Meyer for leaving controversy in his wake. Is he ignoring his own problems in SF and the NFL?

Day has the correct philosophy. Fields clearly has the ability, but Gunnar Hoak has more experience and plenty of ability as well. No one is just handed the QB job at TOSU. By earning it, one of them will also earn the respect of his teammates and the right to be the team’s leader. No one can simply be handed those reins. If Joe Burrow was still here, he would be the team leader and even someone with Fields’ ability would be hard-pressed to win the job. I hope that Hoak is also participating in these throwing sessions.

If these excellent coaches can get the returning players plus some incoming freshmen to play up to their abilities, we will have a top 15 defense or better. And, that’s all we’ll need. Go Bucks!

We are very fortunate that Coach Day has succeeded Coach Meyer.  Both are great Coaches.  Both hired great Assistant Coaches and those Assistants know how to recruit and coach.  We now have the number 2 Class in the Country with several more great recruits to come.  Welcome to Buckeye Nation to all of these young men.  I look forward to watching them play as Buckeyes over the next five seasons.

He is a great person. He is and was a great Coach. We were very fortunate to have him as the leader of our program. 

Happy 4th of July to all of Buckeye Nation!

Welcome to Buckeye Nation!

The good news is that Fields should be here for two or more seasons. Better news is that the two guys who will succeed him are great QBs. Best news is that Day is a great offensive mind and he will plan to score both outside and inside the red zone. Let’s stop worrying about perceived problems. 71 days until opening day!

Andre has also, often, been expected to guard the other team's biggest scoring threat.  As with everything else, he has done this pretty well.  With his height and strength, I see him as more of a defensive specialist, who can score when necessary.  Agree that he needs to cut down on TOs, as does everyone.  I am glad that he is on our team and I look forward to him being the leader.  He'll get his ring(s) this season!

This young man sounds like a great prospect. Buckeyes should be a very good team the next three seasons. We need guys like Moody, Liddel, Carton, Walker and Gaffney to arrive ready to play immediately and to score consistently. And we need Washington and Ahrens to take big leaps forward this year offensively and especially defensively. Already getting excited about BB thanks to Coach Holtman.

Welcome to Buckeye Nation!

Welcome to Buckeye Nation!

Just saw NBC Sports team grades for draft. Giants graded D mainly for passing on Haskins and instead drafting Jones. Washington A+ (highest grade of any team) because of Haskins and McLaurin.

Welcome (back) to Buckeye Nation! Great for us and, I think, great for you too!

One of the good things about Hoak is that he has two years of eligibility remaining,  Hopefully, he joins us with the possibility of being the starter if Fields is hurt or struggles or turns pro after next season.  

What is the status with Gunner Hoak.

Welcome to Buckeye Nation young man!

How about Greg Oden?  They still need another assistant Coach.

Is there any chance that Giddens also joins us next season?

Welcome to Buckeye Nation!

This means that it is critically important for us to get both Giddens and Diallo. 

As a Giants fan, I would love to see Haskins as their QB of the future. He clearly needs a year to mature and the Giants seem committed to Eli for one more year. But, I am afraid the Giants won’t pull the trigger. As a longtime Patriots hater, I find it hard to say this but Haskins would be a premier backup to Brady until Brady retires. I could see The Pats moving up to take him. But I also could see the Dolphins doing the same thing.

Why did he not take a medical redshirt last season? If he did, can he take a redshirt this season to fully recover if he plays in no more than four games?
