I’m finding out right now that there’s an entire sect of this fanbase that was completely content with the Cooper years and had they had their way, Tress never would’ve stepped foot in Columbus
When you take a second to think about the game plan Chip and Day put together, it might go down as one of the most mental crayon eating game plans in The Game you will ever watch.
Rolling in with a Frankenstein OL that's on its 5th combination of starters. The ops had 2 1st round DT's but noooooo "we got to win the rushing battle" so let's run it 14x right at them. While we are at it, lets run another dozen stretch plays to the boundary where they outnumber you. There were so many wasted plays.
All the while, you had whatever you wanted in the passing game. They played slow tempo football. The moment they did speed it up and go vertical boom they went through Michigan's defense like a street taco after the bar.
@MekkaDonMusic Not really. The only thing that holds the team back is Ryan Day’s ego. On the days he lets that shit go (see: Georgia game), he can beat damn near anyone.
But that’s a tremendous Achilles heel.
@MrOH1O It’s the equivalent of failing every final but still graduating with a 2.0. Like at the end of the day, congrats but have you proven that you have taken that next step? I guess…
@AdamHutt1984 @BobbyCarpShow It’s consistently the guys that he’s buddies with that can’t coach. Combs, Fleming, Frye, Kelly…the list goes on. If the decision is made for him to come back, he need to have someone help him fill out his staff.
@CFBwSam With those teams, the gameplan is the gameplan. With Michigan, the gameplan is “let me prove how tough I am.”
If you want people to quit calling you soft, then just beat them. By any means possible.
@OsuRecruiting2 All Ryan Day has to do is say “stretch the ball vertically and get outside the hashes;” hell, when we did, we were getting 15 yards a pop. Shit is mind boggling.
