Re: Week 13 Elucidations
I really hope Scott Frost and Chip Kelly turn their programs into machines soon. The college universe depends on these two. Nobody else has a chance to make a seismic impact right now, outside of maybe Tom Herman or Jimbo Fisher. HarFraud isn't it, Taggart has zero chance, Mullen is good-not-great, ...

Re: Week 13 Elucidations
We really need some new blood in college football. And by "new blood," I mean, "the same 4 or 5 programs need to get back on the upswing and challenge Alabama and Clemson." USC, where are you at? Texas? LSU? Oregon? Florida? Somebody have a come-from-nowhere-all-the-pieces-actual...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
But NOOOOOOOOO, that will never happen. Don't listen to Eric's recommendations on coaching which have about an 80% success rate :lol: I can't predict football games but I have a nose for which coaches will be good and which will be duds. For example, what is Dana Dimel doing at UTEP? Why did ECU fir...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
I'm just throwing this name out here and remember where you heard it: Scott Abell. He's the head coach at Davidson. Took a bad team and went 6-5 with them. Comes out of D3 with a consistently good winning record. Davidson averaged 414 yards rushing per game this season. Sounds like something Central...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
-- Okay, Eric ... we know what you think about Michigan. But, what on earth happened to Central Michigan this year? . . . Injuries :lol: I wasn't a big John Bonamego guy when he was hired, but his first three years were productive. Maybe Michigan will hire him as a special teams coordinator because...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
I mean I don't like it, but I'm prepared for this result every year and it's borderline comical at this rate :lol: I also get the impression that Urban doesn't view this as a big rivalry. I think outwardly he pays the series respect and tries very hard to get his team ready and motivated to play bec...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
Zach Gentry (redshirt senior) was another guy that came up huge today. Another fake NFL prospect. He was converted from QB and he's the guy we rely on to make do-or-die catches in a game of this magnitude. Meanwhile Ohio State has true freshmen who have barely played that make catches and run up and...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
When Michigan screws up, Harbaugh fundamentally blames the players. Watching his reaction to his players' screw-ups, his body language tells me that he feels he needs to coach them harder to be perfect. Any smart college coach has the probability of failure factored into the way they call games. You...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
Thanks for the words, but that's exactly what we're tired of hearing. One year, it's "Harbaugh needs his guys." Next year with a great defense loaded with NFL prospects, it's "Harbaugh just needs a QB." Last year it was, "Harbaugh's team had injuries and they're young."...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
I think Notre Dame has earned their way in. They play way better defense than Oklahoma.
In terms of matchups against Alabama as #1 vs. #4, if the goal is seeing Alabama get beat, I'd rather see Oklahoma get the nod.

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
That would be hilarious if Northwestern and Texas win. Can we get Northwestern vs. Utah in the Rose Bowl, please?
They might be forced to put Georgia in at #4 and have them play #1 Alabama again.

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
Well, the committee might bring up the Purdue loss, and the 51 points given up to Maryland. And I see that. An Oklahoma loss would likely spur some conversation. I don't like the idea of putting in Georgia if they lose to Bama or putting in LSU over Ohio State, even though I'm positive those are be...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
This is the problem I diagnosed with Harbaugh's "rebuild" of Michigan football. They are built to beat the rest of the Big 10 to get to Ohio State weekend with a shot to win. But they meet Ohio State and pasted on defense and their offensive scheme doesn't adapt to try to meet Ohio State o...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
I would put in Oklahoma. Ohio State will go right back to playing StupidBall right after this Michigan game. No rushing attack to speak of, idiotic penalties, bad pass blocking, no pressure from the d-line, LBs and safeties out of place. Northwestern will put up 3x the fight against OSU that we saw ...

Re: Ohio State -TTUN
Let's play great on defense, but get burned for touchdowns on 3 plays with defensive backs who just got beat, but play ball control offense and try to outlast our juggernaut opponent: 41 points allowed
Pay no attention to defense and focus on offense like Oklahoma: 41 points allowed
