Otis Nice Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 For the past decade they've been saying it's *insert almost any SEC team*'s year. Same with Georgia, they are overrated every preseason and always shit the bed. I'll believe it when I see it. Tale as old as time. The lone consistent is 'Bama. The rest are roller coaster rides. Easy Timmy! I still think OSU struggles and loses to Oklahoma ala Va Tech but finds their groove and gets rolling. The 2014 team was a similar squad, "Is Elliot the starter or will it be someone else", "How are we going to survive without Braxton" "Where's the defense?" Seasons like that are always simultaneously nerve racking and thrilling. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 OSU lost a ton of guys. They play at Oklahoma early this year, 2nd game I think? I really don't see OSU winning that game. They have a couple other tough games on the road. I think it's reasonable to expect them to lose 2 games this year. That's not bad, especially considering how inexperienced they are as a whole. At least they have a proven QB so you gotta feel good about that. OSU has more experience than the media would lead you to believe. Plenty of guys return that have seen plenty of meaningful playing time on both sides of the ball. Plus http://247sports.com/Article/College-football-column-Barton-Simmons-on-Ohio-States-budding-st-46536978 After we released our preseason College Top247 on Monday, I got a text from a contact within an NFL personnel department. One of his observations: "Sam Hubbard is gonna be a problem in the Big Ten." That's the edited version. There was an expletive thrown in there for emphasis.

This is his year to be a monster and own the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ohio State shouldn't be #5. Then again, preseason polls shouldn't exist. So fuck it, I'll take it. Committee isn't supposed to care about the polls, but we all know they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'd prefer Ohio State be told they are overrated and they don't belong in playoff discussion, as Ohio State tends to perform very well historically in an underdog role, and particularly well in such a role in the Urban era. Last year, all Ohio State heard preseason was how they were the second coming of the '95 Nebraska team. I think the pressure and expectations weighed on them. I also have a hunch (read: I'm just wondering aloud) that sometimes really good college players that know they are out the door and have really big paychecks waiting on them in the NFL will kind of go on autopilot and, as a result, not be as effective as they would be ordinarily. I think that's why, sometimes, you see teams stockpiled with NFL draft picks (like Ohio State last year) under-perform. Think Miami's team in 2002 versus the team in 2001; in 2001, they could have beaten the Browns, but in 2002 they essentially slept-walk through the season, including that BCS title game with Ohio State. I'm an Ohio State homer, but I'll be the first to tell you that Miami team was playing at about 65 percent capacity that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Remember when Brady Hoke won 10 games his first year and everyone anointed Michigan national champs? Harbaugh is weird. And he comes across as incredibly unlikable in interviews. I remember when he acted like a dick when he was interviewed about him going for 2 against USC when he was at Stanford and they were up a bunch. Then he was a complete tool when being interviewed by Colin Cowherd about a year or two ago. I saw him at B10 media day and, even when he's trying to be cool, he comes across like a douche.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Coach Meyer notes on post workout media. Darius Slade is out for the year with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Junior college transfer offensive lineman Malcolm Pridgeon also has a knee injury and is out for three months. "Offensive line depth is a concern."

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 The rich, just got a whole lot richer! OSU landed commitments today from not 1, but 2 5* WR's in the class of 2017. Trevon Grimes out of Florida (#3 WR) and Tyjon Lindsey (California/Vegas #5 WR) Lindsey is from Cali, but lives with and plays highschool ball with fellow OSU commit 5* QB Tate Martell in Vegas. On paper this is the best recruiting class ever, 6 5* players so far and still in the hunt for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
