Ohio State fans melt down so badly over every loss is because typically the following is true when the team loses in the Day era:
- We shouldn’t have lost or at least could have avoided losing
- It was not due to a talent deficit
- It happened due to UNADDRESSED problems the fanbase had been screaming about from the mountaintops all season
- It’s a multi-season issue that somehow has never been fixed (redzone, kicking)
- The game felt like Day was voluntarily tying one arm behind the teams back for no apparent reason, and simply refusing to exploit a massive advantage.
- it feels like watching a slow motion car wreck where even though there were plenty of chances to turn things around, somehow the outcome felt totally locked in and unavoidable. Like the steamroller scene in Austin Powers.
@KenHeLive I’ve always liked Cam and I consider him the greatest college football player I’ve ever seen. He’s a 1 of 1 athlete. But the passing upside wasn’t there and it made him a lot less scary than he’d seem on paper
Jeremiah Smith on this upcoming season:
“I’m gonna just be on go every game. I feel like this year they took something from me and everybody’s gotta pay for it…I’m out for everybody”
My guess is there were some Hall of Fame voters who wanted to punish Belichick over Spygate. Only thing I can think of for why he wouldn’t be a first ballot hall of famer.
Are potential changes coming to the most scrutinized penalty in all of college football?
“We are going to be having a discussion on targeting.”
Officials are poised to examine the penalty attached to the targeting foul, including disqualifications.

People saying Arthur Smith is a terrible hire for Ohio State. They just had Brian Hartline calling plays who had zero experience. Smith's experience alone and the ability to at minimum sequence plays is an instant upgrade over an OC who never called plays.
