Uh, no. If Bronny is good enough to play for the Buckeyes, he should come to Ohio State. Regardless of the state of the program, which we can all debate, it is still Ohio State. In my opinion, it is the best school for any number of reasons (not including athletics) and second place isn't even close.

Go Buckeyes!

In Jim Knowles' safety-driven defense, Ohio State needs athletes who can make plays from sideline to sideline. They have that with Styles and Stokes. Both are athletic specimens with tremendous upside at the position, and I can't wait to see how the Mad Scientist plans to utilize their strengths in Year 2 of his master plan for the Silver Bullets.

Knowles is still the DC right? How about a little less mad scientist and a little more solid, fundamental football. Need to be WAY better against elite teams and elite coaches.

I can't disagree, but I can add this, no one ever had to tell me to play harder. Even in the old dads pick up games, I played hard. SMH

I was going to post something similar. Why does Coach have to tell the players to push the ball? I was never very good, but even I wanted to push the ball up the court. A layup was the only shot I had a chance at making. It blew my mind when I heard Coach telling Sueing to play harder. He's in his 6th year of college basketball. He shouldn't need to be told to play hard.

The live mic actually increased my confidence in the coaching staff, but SIGNIFICANTLY decreased my confidence in the players. The loss had little to do with the bogus call. It had everything to do with the players.

Ask me in another year...

But, yeah, let's boost up Penn State for Allar while knocking down Ohio State for McCord and Brown.

@Chase, Pat Forde did exactly what he wanted, got you (and others) to talk about his article two days in a row. It is better for the national media to underrate the Buckeyes than to overrate them, because it gets more clicks and generates more conversation.

Per 247, Drew Allar was rated .9851 and Kyle McCord was rated .9858. Seems pretty even and Kyle is one year older.

I think your number 1 point carries the most weight. Need to get the silver bullets back to being silver bullets. If our defense had the respect of the national media, we'd be top 2 in every poll. 

That's the 1960's foot dance. Have you not seen someone in their 70's dancing at a wedding? Lots of them do it! lol

Let's see what Holtmann, Sensabaugh and Co. are made of as we head into the dark days of winter in January.

We need to get Justice Sueing playing like the alpha male on this team. He's got the skills and he's got the body to dominate the college game, but it seems something is missing. Hopefully he finds "it" before the end of February.

Who thought Okpara was going to be KEY to our season (pun intended)? I assume most of us didn't think he see many minutes. I've been impressed and he now becomes one of the most important Buckeyes until we can get Zed back. Go Buckeyes!!!

We're still the #1 recruiting school in the B1G. We may even have more 5 stars on our squad than the rest of the B1G combined. Day is still learning how to be a head coach. Knowles is still learning how to coach a team of freakish athletes.

We'll be fine in 2023.

Agreed. Plus a healthy WR room, plus a healthy TE room, plus a healthy OL room, plus a healthy DB room... Year after year we suffer debilitating injuries that take our players forever to recover from. I know it's football and injuries happen, but I am firmly convinced that our strength and conditioning program lacks injury prevention and injury recovery skills. 

I'm thrilled that Miyan is coming back!

 john cooper all over again.

The Buckeye beat reporters are not going to like that comment. However, having been a student for the first 3 Cooper years, I tend to agree.

I see it this way. With lessor talent at Duke and Ok State, you have to take risks and gamble a lot. With top talent like we have, you have to play sound fundamental defense, with some unique blitzes and coverages thrown in when the situation calls for it. Knowles has to adapt his philosophy and game calling to the talent.

I didn’t watch the game but wish I had been paying closer attention because had I realized they were playing at Northwestern, I would have gone to the game.

I have high hopes for this team. I wrote on 11W last spring that I thought this year’s team would be better than last years… and I didn’t realize at the time that we have a one and done freshman. Need 3 studs and a few role players to make a big run. We might have them.

I logged on specifically to see if anyone had entered the portal yet. I didn’t think the first would be the long snapper, but it makes sense. This is going to be a weird off-season.

or field goals. Extra points, and plenty of them!

Well... you clicked it. I clicked it. And hundreds/thousands of us clicked it. lol

The writers on the Buckeye beat know content is king, so we get full posts dedicated to the transfer long snapper because they know we'll read it.

I also love his point about Ohio State taking shots to the end zone once they reach midfield. The offense has a proven track record of success when throwing the deep ball, so please, for all that is holy, I want to see it frequently in Atlanta. Because it works! Even against good teams!

I was watching our receivers not named Marvin Harrison, Jr, during the TTUN game. They were constantly lazy in their routes. Maybe it was due to nagging injury, maybe due to some other reason. Our receivers at 100% are unguardable. Our receivers at 50% equals Marvin Harrison, Jr double and triple teams all night.

Go hard all game please! and Go Buckeyes!!

And the best part is that Harrison still has a whole career ahead of him, which is as exciting for Ohio State fans and whatever NFL team drafts Harrison

My advice to everyone is to just enjoy the ride because the future isn’t a given. We’ve learned that lesson again with JSN.

Welcome aboard kid! Go Buckeyes!!!

If we're not going to jump into the portal because of "cultural fit" reasons, it is time to sign 30 freshmen to each class knowing full well that 8-10 will transfer out. The era of free agency is crazy.

Good luck Dunn, do your family proud wherever you end up.

There is a trend if you look closely at the data.

Win or lose, you probably shouldn't read the comments on 11W after the game. I have absolute confidence in the 11W community to overreact. lol

Go Buckeyes!!
