He has played 3 games against top 25 run defenses and in each of them, he's been held to under 5 YPC and under 100 total yards. He's bullied run defenses like Miss St that aren't top 50 in the country thus far, and certainly is a guy to watch out for, but stats do not support much worry. The...
Running the football is one of the easiest possible things for a true freshman to step in and do without any reps. We've seen it many times over the years. If needed, I wouldn't completely shocked if a guy with virtually no reps this year like Tatum or Sawchuk had a solid day on the ground (if...
There have been plenty of issues with the RB room under DeMarco, but Tawee has been on three different teams in three different years for a reason. He's not what we need.
The playoffs start in a month and end in two. I don't expect him to return in the regular season but would expect him to be able to return in 1-2 months.
We are incredibly thin at CB. One more injury could spell disaster.
Barnes played 4 games and has disappeared, which is starting to feel like a broken record in the 4 game redshirt era. As a senior with no chance at the NFL, my expectation has been that he'll maintain his redshirt year and transfer out, which is still likely the best plan for him if he still...
Our offense outplayed theirs.
Would be devastating.
He hasn't tailed off at all. I caught a lot of flack on here for calling into question how much running past Illinois State players meant, but the fact remains that he's had 3 YPC or less in 6 of his 7 P5 games.
I love his potential, but...
No doubt. This program under Lon/Moser is barely recognizable compared to the Tubbs/Sampson program I grew up with. The standard has dropped with each successive hire. Mediocrity was officially accepted under Lon and now is on the verge of being celebrated.
Agreed, but basically everybody outside of Ohio State has very low odds of winning it all. For the teams not getting a bye, the odds are likely not above 5% for any team to win 4 straight against the best teams in the country. Even playing each game as 50/50 would put the odds at 3.125%...
Gonna let the season play out. Every time Moser seems like a dead man walking, we go on a win streak. And any time he seems to have turned a corner, we go on a losing streak. I would happily lose every noncon game if we got a winning record in conference play.
If he doesn't make the NCAA...
Mateer isn't as good as he was made out to be early in the season, but he's not as bad as people are making him out to be after rushing back from injury. With Arnold at QB, we are likely 5-5, and in no scenario would we be better than 6-4. Mateer did what he needed to do with no turnovers on...
I don't really understand this complaint. Our run/pass ratio was basically 50/50. And we averaged twice as many yards on passing attempts vs rushing attempts with no turnovers. When we run for 2.6 ypc, I just don't see how more of that was the right answer.
