Not even close. Stroud is actually a passer (not bad for a guy a significant portion of this base would have benched after week 3 two seasons ago). Duggan's one moment, the open bomb, was an under thrown ball. He is a running quarterback who throws it some. He is a better version of Denard Robinson. Don't get me wrong, the kid has the heart of a champion, he just isn't a passing QB, and I think he has a very dim future at the next level. I have said this a million times, but beware of B12 QB's with gaudy numbers, most of them don't work out (Mayfield, Rudolph, Murray, to name a few). Mahomes is the exception to the rule...
You are entitled to you own opinion, not your own facts.
I checked out MGO yesterday. We aren't winning this one. Remember, their championship is "Ohio State not winning it all." I get being happy you beat OSU, but many were posting yesterday "you think we are suffering, what about Ohio State fans." Me, I didn't think about the weasels at all yesterday because I don't give a fuck about them (save one day a year). Oh, and amidst rumors of his departure and NCAA violations, a small but round faction are calling for Jimmy to be fired again. No, I'm not kidding.
You are entitled to you own opinion, not your own facts.
Steele chambers was the best interview every time he was in front of the mic. OSU didn’t let anything slip away. They gave the national champs all they could handle while playing with one hand behind their back and one eye closed. Be proud of how they competed and hope that the injury bug gets squashed.
We as a fan base have to try and put the "what could've been" mindset out of our heads as quick as we can and start turning the page for the 23 season.
But seriously... Ohio State makes ass clowns out of that Horned Frogs team.
The Excellence of Execution, the Best there is, the Best there was, the Best there ever will be!
So, the CFP got it wrong..... Clearly, the Buckeyes should have played TTUN and TCU should have got steam-rolled first round by UGA. CFP needs to stop with "not wanting rematches" in first round and do whats right for college football. Just my humble opinion.
Stover had some issues late in the season because of injuries. We will probably never know how beat up he was but the elbow brace, along with a leg injury, seemed to hamper him.
One request for Stover going into next season…quit trying to leap defensive players. He took several hard hits/landings during the season which probably accumulated over time. Stay on the ground and avoid getting flipped and landing awkwardly.
I'm kinda surprised it hasn't been banned yet. When it's pulled off, yeah it looks cool but as far as a player safety issue it's almost always a bad idea.
Oh shocker that Brice Sensabaugh, another future one and done mba player is being wasted by Chris Holtmanns game management again. Just like Malaki Branham last year.
Sorry, it's time for a new coach, his end of ge adjustments are garbage, and apparently they don't teach press breaking in practice, in fact at this point I'm pretty sure Chris Holtman can't even spell press break
Successful people do what they have to, whether they feel like it or not
If some one and done’s would be two and done’s the teams would be a lot better. The sport would be a lot better. The results would be a lot better. Imagine trying replace stroud every year.
Use to be a huge fan of college bball. Not so much anymore. I will watch some games in the tournament, but the "one and done" players just don't add a lot of value to a program. Ohio State has had a few of them recently, yet the program has failed to really improve during that time frame. So what is being accomplished as a TEAM?
Or maybe a 6th year senior could quit playing like a freshman vs the press? A 6 year veteran should not be stressed breaking the press. What’s going on with Likelele? He was the one bringing the ball up the court until he had personal issues.
God, if all the people bitching about Holtmann, the portal, NIL, etc would just follow through on their threats of not watching, what a wonderful comment section this would be.

This rings true with many things, but then consternation and varying opinions are what drive this site.
For sure. Whole site would be bobble head yes men. How boring would that be? I like some educated counter conversation, makes one think. The ranting I get and have done on occasion when frustrated. I chalk it up to that, frustration. Occasional some go over the top. Just counter and/or dv or just scroll on by. No skin off my back.
Nice that Sensabaugh is getting some props from the best coach in the B1G. Have a hard time seeing ten more wins for this B-Bucks squad on the schedule in a fairly weak B1G this season let alone get an invite to the dance.
Without winners there wouldn't be any gosh darn civilization. We make no apologies for winning or for aiming our entire program toward that goal. - Woody Hayes
TCU was overmatched at every position on the field. Cant wait to see what Texas and OU will look like when they join the SEC. going to be some lean years for those two programs and i think in the end they will regret joining the SEC. dont see them sniffing and SEC championship and they had a better shot getting in the playoff in the BIG 12. I could see Texas making a few waves because of the Texas recruiting base and the donor money, but not sure Sark will last long enough to reap those benefits.
Ah but remember we are going to a 12 team playoff so they just need to be the 3rd and 4th best team in SEC and they will get in every year. Right now it's only Bama and GA that are powerhouses in the SEC so they should easily be 3rd and 4th...well maybe not UO they are garbage.
Not so sure about that. I think LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee, and probably Texas A&M (Jimbo cant continue to fuck it up can he?) are better than Texas or OU. There could be up and down years where they sneak in, but I think they are in for a long slog. Texas will get there faster due to its financial resources, but it will take them a while. Hell, Ole Miss and Auburn may make the turn around before Texas/OU sniff the playoffs.
Depends who you ask. They aren't joining the SEC because it increases their championship odds. This was about $, pure and simple. And they won't regret cashing those fat checks. This is again another fan looking at this from only a fan's perspective.
You are entitled to you own opinion, not your own facts.
Nice to have Stover back but SCum trumped it with getting Blake Corum back.
Their Transfer Portal pickups also put OSU to shame. Maybe, someone can wake up Frye & tell him his dream of Johnson & Jones coming back at OT is just that, a dream.
Corum is a fool coming back. Though, teams will probably question his top end speed and he can’t prove it with a bum knee. He just seems like he is ready…and I don’t want to face him either haha.

Corum is Mike Hart 2.0, and according to our local ttun media guy, he didn't get a favorable grade from the NFL...and with his NIL in play, this was an easy choice.
that being said, take your transfer portal bs over to M-GoBlow where it--and you--belong
Hart couldn't run away from LBers. I don't think Corum is THAT slow. He supposedly ran a 4.44 in High School, I would say he's right around 4.5 all day. I don't think Hart could run under a 4.6.
Hmmm. I've heard of "The Dougie," "The Moonwalk," "The Twist," "The Carlton," "Single Ladies," "The Mashed Potato," and "Happy Feet," but I've never heard of a dance called "The Foot Dance." I've seen old folks dance like Mama Cass, but have never heard someone say, "Look, he's doing 'The Foot Dance'!" I wanted to know if those foot moves had a name, so I guess I'm still mystified.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game. -- Michael Jordan
For my part, it's not "pain" per se, it's the frustration of having to try and explain "why" bad calls make the difference in big games (CONSISTENTLY!!) when OSU is playing on a big stage such as the 2019 semi vs Clemson or this year's semi vs TTDS (that team down south which is what I'm calling them now, fam. We have a NEW rival. Fuck Georgia). You could point to plenty other games where massively bad calls seemingly go ONLY one way, and at the most crucial parts of the game, but I'd defy you to explain them in any way that doesn't suggest a big ole conspiracy. But the reality is that it is NOT a few calls during gameplay, it's the entire effing calendar year! It's beginning TODAY. The narrative of TTDS being "unstoppable" is happening LIVE on ESPN today! It's already "TTDS vs Alabama" and is TTDS the new dynasty? You'd THINK just for some sort of conversational topic "how the Buckeyes managed to play TTDS so well" and "were the Buckeyes actually really good and should we have them in the same conversation with TTDS and Alabama" even to keep things interesting. BUT NO! It's just a big SEC circle jerk. It wouldn't matter but for the fact that THESE are the folks that run college football. They run the bowls, the media, the polls, EVERYTHING. I'm telling you, we've already lost the propaganda war for 2023's football season and the season hasn't even started yet. OHIO AGAINST THE WORLD.
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.
OK, its over. I DO NOT want to see or hear the word (run up the score no class) Georgia for at least 9 months.
Stetson "Old Man" Bennett with be nothing more than a Camp arm and (following in the steps of the oh so vaunted Aaron Murray) a clipboard holder. Oh, excuse me, a sponsored Microsoft Surface holder.
And now, for some reason known ONLY to God Almighty, SECSPN is actually debating whether or not the Bears should trade Justin "The only bright spot in Chicago" Fields and draft Bryce Young. I kid you not. These guys are just completely insane. SEC is like crack cocaine to them and they cannot get enough. IF the Bears are STUPID enough to get rid of Fields and draft the Five foot 10 150 pound future CFL QB, then they deserve what they get. All of it. I only wish the Browns were going to do something SMART for once like draft CJ Stroud. But no, we're handcuffed to a creepy, underperforming, washed up has been/never was QB that some idiot guaranteed $230 million to. FML. It's so bad to be a Browns fan...
and now, for some reason known ONLY to God Almighty, SECSPN is actually debating whether or not the Bears should trade Justin "The only bright spot in Chicago" Fields and draft Bryce Young.
actually, it was only Mike Tannenbaum who was suggesting this, and he was absolutely roasted by Jay Will & Keyshawn (Kellerman doesn't count--he's a fricking weirdo)
Kirby didn't have any trouble running up the score so his second team - especially QB - could get some real game experience. We need to try it.
Corum is coming back so harbaugh can run him 40 times a game and have him worn out for November. That should really help his draft stock for next year. But then again, perhaps harbaugh is playing 4D chess and plans to intentionally drive his draft stock down so he can draft him for whatever nfl team he ends coaching. LOL
Kirby didn't have any trouble running up the score
IMO, there is no such thing as "running up the score" in the NC game...you score, score, and then score again--and don't let up until the clock says 0:00
UGA got it done. Good for Dawgs fans. Annoyance at the refs aside, OSU should have won that game. They had plenty of opportunities despite any bad calls and still didn't get it done. If you want to win championships, you have to capitalize on opportunities as they're presented - UGA did, OSU didn't, simple as that. Call it sour grapes, fairweather, whatever you want, but I am done going into any season with expectations of OSU winning a title. Throughout my 38 years OSU has fumbled the bag more than any team in CFB - 95, 96, 98, 03, 06, 07, 10, 13, 15, 19, 20, 22. All are years where OSU legitimately could/should have won the title and flopped. And yes, I know most teams flop and winning the title is hard and only one team can win each year, but OSU has had more legitimate opportunities and has consistently been on the cusp more than any other program over that stretch and has an incredibly high choke rate. 98, 06, 13, 15, 19, and now 22 are especially egregious.
I don't see any official result numbers as of yet but I am willing to bet that the viewership for last nights CFP game was lower than that of the OSU UGA game on NYE. If nothing else we can maybe still claim our title for bringing the eyeballs to games. Then we can say "at least we've got that going for us, which is nice"
I think the UGA vs OSU game was one of the highest rated CFB games in TV history so yes, I would be shocked if last nights game was anywhere close to it.
Marvin Harrison is head and shoulders better than JSN. Seeing how Marvin showed up in his first start in the Rose Bowl, makes you wonder what could have been if they played him last year as a freshman all year. We knew his greatness was there during the year, his work ethic - It showed in his workout videos.
Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect - Woody Hayes
I think he was talent wise better, his workout videos showed the talent he had before the season began.
Yes, I do agree, he wouldn't have started over JSN's experience. JSN wasn't targeted much until about the Nebraska game, that's when he showed out, as coaches began to cover Olave and Wilson more. MJH should have had more playing time last year over JSN. Harrison is the best recevier most of us will ever see.
Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect - Woody Hayes
Fair number. I think last 2 years we haven't rotated enough at WR. I could be wrong, need ot look at numbers. I understand it when you got those studs you ride them from start to finish. Just thought there was plenty of snaps go around. We hear about Dline rotation to keep them fresh, what about keeping WR legs fresh? Anyway WR room super deep next year, we'll see who sticks and who bounces.
This is just silly. Head and Shoulders? Above the guy Garrett Wilson called "the best receiver he's ever seen" really? Dude averaged almost 200 yards in his final 5 full games. He has the ability to make something happen after the catch that Marvin has yet to show. MHJ will be the best WR in CFB next year, but the JSN disrespect is absurd. Generally speaking, on-field production tells a more compelling story than workout videos / routes on air.
Cade Stover isn’t a top 5 TE in the NFL draft. He was a very nice weapon in the pass game this year but his blocking abilities were suspect. Very happy he’s returning for the 2023 season to help the Buckeyes and help his draft stock.
Stover's return is not only major for the program, but also for his draft eligibility. As mentioned, he's going to be one of only two premier draft eligible tight ends next year. Great move on his end. Oftentimes I think high-end players should take the opportunity to join the League, but this is one of the exceptions. Good job Buckeyes!

And yet, the B1G champions lost to them. OSU had no business losing to Michigan, and we had Georgia on the ropes, but somehow let it slip away.

Yea I don't get it since RBs have a very limited life (on average)in the NFL because of the number of hits. I hate to see this for him.
Corum announcing his return likely means that Crazy Jimmy ain't going anywhere.
Quick! Name the best most productive game changing running back in the playoffs that played a big role in their team winning…..I’ll wait
If only it was still 2014

OK, its over. I DO NOT want to see or hear the word (run up the score no class) Georgia for at least 9 months.

And now, for some reason known ONLY to God Almighty, SECSPN is actually debating whether or not the Bears should trade Justin "The only bright spot in Chicago" Fields and draft Bryce Young. I kid you not. These guys are just completely insane. SEC is like crack cocaine to them and they cannot get enough. IF the Bears are STUPID enough to get rid of Fields and draft the Five foot 10 150 pound future CFL QB, then they deserve what they get. All of it. I only wish the Browns were going to do something SMART for once like draft CJ Stroud. But no, we're handcuffed to a creepy, underperforming, washed up has been/never was QB that some idiot guaranteed $230 million to. FML. It's so bad to be a Browns fan...
Round on the ends and "HI" in the middle. O-HI-O.
Agree. I believe Fields can play as well as Hurts with the same talent around him. Just look at the difference with the Eagles adding Brown.

actually, it was only Mike Tannenbaum who was suggesting this, and he was absolutely roasted by Jay Will & Keyshawn (Kellerman doesn't count--he's a fricking weirdo)
Faster, tougher, and more violent...
I watched that. Tannenbaum is just horrible which has been proven numerous times already.
...which is why he is no longer a GM

Please trade Justin to Miami.

Kirby didn't have any trouble running up the score so his second team - especially QB - could get some real game experience. We need to try it.
Corum is coming back so harbaugh can run him 40 times a game and have him worn out for November. That should really help his draft stock for next year. But then again, perhaps harbaugh is playing 4D chess and plans to intentionally drive his draft stock down so he can draft him for whatever nfl team he ends coaching. LOL
IMO, there is no such thing as "running up the score" in the NC game...you score, score, and then score again--and don't let up until the clock says 0:00

UGA got it done. Good for Dawgs fans. Annoyance at the refs aside, OSU should have won that game. They had plenty of opportunities despite any bad calls and still didn't get it done. If you want to win championships, you have to capitalize on opportunities as they're presented - UGA did, OSU didn't, simple as that. Call it sour grapes, fairweather, whatever you want, but I am done going into any season with expectations of OSU winning a title. Throughout my 38 years OSU has fumbled the bag more than any team in CFB - 95, 96, 98, 03, 06, 07, 10, 13, 15, 19, 20, 22. All are years where OSU legitimately could/should have won the title and flopped. And yes, I know most teams flop and winning the title is hard and only one team can win each year, but OSU has had more legitimate opportunities and has consistently been on the cusp more than any other program over that stretch and has an incredibly high choke rate. 98, 06, 13, 15, 19, and now 22 are especially egregious.
I don't see any official result numbers as of yet but I am willing to bet that the viewership for last nights CFP game was lower than that of the OSU UGA game on NYE. If nothing else we can maybe still claim our title for bringing the eyeballs to games. Then we can say "at least we've got that going for us, which is nice"
I think the UGA vs OSU game was one of the highest rated CFB games in TV history so yes, I would be shocked if last nights game was anywhere close to it.

Marvin Harrison is head and shoulders better than JSN. Seeing how Marvin showed up in his first start in the Rose Bowl, makes you wonder what could have been if they played him last year as a freshman all year. We knew his greatness was there during the year, his work ethic - It showed in his workout videos.

I get what you are saying, but who would he have played over? I doubt he was head and shoulders above JSN, Wilson, or Olave in fall camp last year.
I think he was talent wise better, his workout videos showed the talent he had before the season began.
Yes, I do agree, he wouldn't have started over JSN's experience. JSN wasn't targeted much until about the Nebraska game, that's when he showed out, as coaches began to cover Olave and Wilson more. MJH should have had more playing time last year over JSN. Harrison is the best recevier most of us will ever see.

And even if Olave had declared for the NFL draft after his junior year, Williams would have been the starter.
Lots of snaps for a rotation. How many snaps did Marv get at Nebraska when Olave was out? Can;t recall?
Muck Fichigan
36/88 snaps. Fleming was used more in the WR3 role because of his extra year of experience
Fair number. I think last 2 years we haven't rotated enough at WR. I could be wrong, need ot look at numbers. I understand it when you got those studs you ride them from start to finish. Just thought there was plenty of snaps go around. We hear about Dline rotation to keep them fresh, what about keeping WR legs fresh? Anyway WR room super deep next year, we'll see who sticks and who bounces.

This is just silly. Head and Shoulders? Above the guy Garrett Wilson called "the best receiver he's ever seen" really? Dude averaged almost 200 yards in his final 5 full games. He has the ability to make something happen after the catch that Marvin has yet to show. MHJ will be the best WR in CFB next year, but the JSN disrespect is absurd. Generally speaking, on-field production tells a more compelling story than workout videos / routes on air.

Cade Stover isn’t a top 5 TE in the NFL draft. He was a very nice weapon in the pass game this year but his blocking abilities were suspect. Very happy he’s returning for the 2023 season to help the Buckeyes and help his draft stock.
Chase, sometimes your humor doesn't make Sensatall.
Brice is gone already, and I definitely don't blame him whatsoever.

Stover's return is not only major for the program, but also for his draft eligibility. As mentioned, he's going to be one of only two premier draft eligible tight ends next year. Great move on his end. Oftentimes I think high-end players should take the opportunity to join the League, but this is one of the exceptions. Good job Buckeyes!
OH...
Knowles will get us to a top 10 defense next year, and our offense will be #1. 2023 will be a year of complete OSU domination.

I believe we had a top ten 10 statistically this year regular season, even with last game
