  1. While others are blown away with Herman, I have never really been a fan. I was less than enthused with his play calling while at OSU. I think he is just the hot name in CFB but may be in over his head at Texas. I have a feeling he suffers the same fate as Charlie Strong, 3 years and gone. We shall see though

     

    Because Tim Beck and Jim Bollman were really the geniuses behind the offensive explosion of Ohio State during its playoff run in 2014...

  2. If you think PennST whisky or Michigan is on the same level as Clemson regarding offense you are smoking crack.

     

    Last night Clemson amassed 470 total yards. Last night Penn State amassed 435 total yards.

     

    Last night Watson went 23 of 34 for 288 yards and 3 TDs and 1 INT. Last night McSorely went 22 of 31 for 384 yards and 4 TDs and 0 INT.

     

    Yes, it's clear Penn State isn't even close to being as dynamic as Clemson. Where's the crack pipe again?

  3.  

    Less interceptions now too. Devin Smith's Touchdown % was insane btw. He also averaged something like 38 yards per touchdown in 2014

     

    Wait, now you are quoting an article that shows that his completion percentage went down by 10 percent from last year to this year and this is somehow supposed to suggest he hasn't regressed?

     

    Am I taking crazy pills?

  4. I guess every analyst and scout's opinion that he is the best they have ever seen at catching the deep ball means nothing. Lol. See how I did that? Just because others were capable, doesnt mean they were nearly as good. That's logic.

     

    Yes, it's faulty logic.

     

    To say that Player A is really good at X

     

    does not mean

     

    Player A is "once in a lifetime talent" at X

     

    as it suggests that he's the only one in a lifetime that has that talent.

     

    Just because someone isn't as good at something as someone else doesn't mean they aren't really good at it. The second fastest sprinter in the world who lost to Usain Bolt is still really fucking fast at running 100 yards down a track.

  5. He completed 34% of total deep balls in 2014, 35% in 2016. See how that goes UP? The total reception making up the 3% difference in the top receiver ISNT EVEN A WHOLE RECEPTION. aka statistically insignificant when there is no such thing as .5 receptions

     

    Where exactly is that data presented in the article you quoted? I must have missed it.

  6. Ginn was more adept at taking a 15 yard slant to the house. Smith is the best we have ever had at catching a 30 yard bomb over his shoulder. That's why the averages are so different.

     

    Just because Ginn was better at taking a 15 yard slant to the house doesn't mean he wasn't also a really good deep ball threat.

     

    Just because Smith was the best at Ohio State at catching a 30 yard bomb over his shoulder (not sure if I agree completely, but for the sake of argument I will) doesn't mean he was a once in a lifetime deep ball talent. Other receivers we've had are capable of and have caught 30 yard bombs over their shoulder. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

     

    See how I did that? That's logic

  7. No I'm not. His overall deep ball completion % is HIGHER than his 2014 season. He is .5 completions off of last year to his top receiver.

     

    Not based on the numbers quoted in that article he's not.

     

    57 % complete to Smith in 2014

     

    50 % complete to Thomas in 2015

     

    47 % complete to Samuel in 2016

     

    See how those numbers go down? That's math

  8. None of those guys are within 10 yards of Smith's 2014 average per reception of 28 yards. Smith is #15 all time for career average and #8 all time for season average. That is all NCAA

     

    Just because Ginn isn't #1 in career YPC percentage in the NCAA doesn't mean he wasn't a really good deep ball threat.

     

    Or are you saying that statistics never lie? Because if that's the case then I'd refer you to my fancy chart here showing that 50 percent is greater than 47 percent...

  9. Besides, you're dodging my point: the article you quoted didn't exactly use the best data to support it's opinion. I'm not disagreeing with the possibility that Barrett isn't the problem, I'm just pointing out the article didn't do itself much of a favor.
