The goal should be finish strong and play for next year. Since the bar definitely is going after this year, so need to identify a go to guy for next year. I think Roddy Gale feels a little bit like Malachi last year, a little hesitant, early in the season. He does flash some scoring ability, so extend his minutes at the expense of these six year seniors who are adding very little.

Play for next year. Gayle, Sensabaugh and Thornton all should be playing 30+ minutes regardless. Set a starting five. Don’t worry about giving minutes to rôle players like Brown, Ice, Holden etc.
Any updates on landing him? With Jeremiah Smith committing as the #2 overall recruit in the 2024 class and the beast mode load of WRs coming in this year, have to think he could revisit OSU.
If the Basketball Bucks are anything like the Football Bucks double secret probation secrecy when it comes to injury updates, I am not even looking towards Keys return till he is on the court. I have heard that he might be on a pitch count though when he does return. His absence will only expediate the development of Felix so gotta look at the positives.
Surprising hustle and movement for someone his size. Don't be shocked if he turns into one of those third year Big Ten stars after getting more experience and weight room growth.
Lets double up on Lurch, even though he is ten feet from the basketball, he will never think to pass back out to wide open three point shooters twenty times this game ! Liked the battle from Okpara and Smith on the big fella.
Styles seems to be the Micah Parsons body type to make this position work. Curry flashed some traits to take over the Jack next year.
Is he a real upgrade to the room? Especially with Stover returning, we have some nice depth and potential. Don't need to get a dozen transfers to be successful
Screens have not been blocked well but OSU has the game changers to not to tally throw it out of the playbook. This game can go two ways.. Georgia fans think OSU is Auburn mid SEC arrogance level. Come out fast, short passing pace and Defense tackles to avoid big plays. Bucks have the capabilities to win a big game. Thurston Howell III has not convinced me. Shut down running game and put it on him to win. Offense will have to win this one for us. 2 scores either way will be the outcome.
Similar to JK Dobbins lackluster Sophomore year. We know what he did his Junior year. A healthy Henderson will ball out next year!
Keep the unions out of it! Another level of corruption is not needed. What purpose would they serve? Make it like the WNBA and subsidise the lesser players? Don't begrudge an athlete making as much as possible. Backers have to be careful of investing. Remember DJ Uiagulalei got a National Subway commercial after his early success. They lost money on that deal.
Some designed QB drop backs, then do nothing else but tuck and run up the middle if the LBs drop or are outside the pocket, must be done. Otherwise CJ will continue to hold the ball and not give Georgia something else to think about.
Would be refreshing to get rid of the Double secret probation and cloak and dagger act from coach Day. Just tell us that JSN will not be practicing or playing instead of on a pitch count. Also say Chop will be 90% at game time and Henderson cannot go etc… Fair weather fans acting like The 5 year Harbaugh haters. Jump on the Wolverine band wagon if you want. Go Bucks!
Buckeye fans deserve better.
Here is how it will play out. The Trojans will lose, and the Buckeyes will be a fourth seed and play Georgia. JSN and both backs will be playing. All you Fairweather fans. Tell me that a Full health Buckeye offense can be stopped. They will take out the Bulldogs, then oh so sweet revenge against the Wolverines . Will smash that smirky fake smile off their quarterbacks zen mug! Go Bucks!

The Maryland quarterback played out of his mind, and he plays like JJ McCarthy should. I was worried when they made the switch to him and use his running abilities but of course they go to their default of hitting the ball off to Corrum 50 times a game. There’s no way in the world the Wolverines come in if they put it on his shoulders to win the game. Our defense is set up to stop teams with good tight ends . Their receivers are much like Penn State situation. They have one guy who can possibly consistently hurt you and that’s it Ryan day won’t get beat twice in a row. Michigan has problems with teams that play with pace and upbeat .Do that the whole game and it won’t even be close.
OSU giving everyone a Red Herring. JSN will line up in the slot and ball out against the shell shocked Team up North. Three OSU receivers go over 100 yards.
My take on the rotation after three games.
Zed Key- lots of minutes
Sensabaugh- major minutes
Sueing-Holden- basically same type player, share minutes or whoever is hot
Likekele- Thornton- Split time with Likekele on floor when scoring is needed
Gayle- lots of minutes, McNeil situational and blow time
Gayle right now is a poor man’s Malaki Branham, who as the season develops, will be the Buckeyes best overall player. Sensabaugh has the makings of a one and done. Will be a fun team to watch after coach sorts his lineup out!
“Sensabaughs minutes might increase.” I guess coach has to figure that one out! Gayle also will be a difference maker.
Hayden did nice job pass blocking also. Curry is around the ball. He just feels like a future playmaker!
It’s been a long time since the Buckeyes have been nine deep in scoring threats. Going to be an interesting year.
Brown is a good depth player but Suing is needed as he is a key rotation guy.
What is Miyan’s pitch count for this game?
45-17 if OSU plays clean.
31-20 if turnovers come into play.
Fans up North running their mouths, comparing the games against Iowa, Putting the poor mouth to the Buckeyes. Keep it up . Ryan Day won’t publicize say it but he will curb stomp them this year and go Cobra Kai with the score. Go Bucks !
Just stay focused and wipe out the Hawkeyes then go in to Happy Valley and throttle Pretend State.
