I_O...Clemson played all phases of the game really great last night...The buckeyes will be a year older come fall and competing at a high level again..bring in a scholarship kicker instead of a walk on, shore up the offensive line,replace fickell..a new Qb? Jt declaring? Transferring? Many questions this offseason too, have to wait to see who declares. Meyer needs to do a better job of replacing Fickell, than he did replacing Herman. Chip Kelly? 49ers are letting him go

the Browns tried twice in regulation to give the game to the Steelers but were kind enough to give it to them in overtime...game over 27-24

Malik Hooker has declared for the draft....hoping he would stay he's losing his coach, expect a bit more exodus from the D side it would be tough to beat the season he had in '16. Not just his picks, but his reads, physical to break on the ball, meet the pass at the receiver, especially on the deep throws, and his tackling. you have to take advantage. Like I said earlier, I'm guessing lattimore, conley and mcmillan follow suit at a minimum.

was just going to post this. after a fast start to the season, including the oklahoma win on the road, there was a gradual decline in our passing performance, interrupted by the impressive win over unl and the expected romp at maryland. interesting choice of day as the replacement; he was a grad asst for meyer at uf, worked in the nfl for philly and the niners, and also played ball for chip kelly at new hampshire.

I think it is going to get real interesting over the next month/now & right after signing day...

my buddy a1 came back to chirp about osu's loss, the osu contingent here, how we're blind to all outside of carmen ohio range, osu's contributing to global warming, the zika virus, et al. i went back browsing into the archives of early '16 to see what some of us were talking about as to the prospects of this season. this below was from january... Jan 6, 2016 at 1:52pm Quote Edit like Post Options Post by mscott59 on Jan 6, 2016 at 1:52pm oujour76 Avatar Jan 6, 2016 at 1:19pm oujour76 said: mscott59 Avatar Jan 6, 2016 at 12:15pm mscott59 said: that makes 9 underclassmen leaving early for the nfl draft. unreal. easily the largest exodus ever at osu.
Serious question...do you think losing so many is a good sign or a warning sign of trouble ahead?
[/quote] i think 2 years down the road, it will be a good thing, as meyer and his staff emphasize all the positive attributes osu has, plus an unusual opportunity of earlier playing time right now, will be even more attractive to a wider array of talent that you'd think would hit its stride by '18 or '19. but next year? wow that is a huge gap to bridge. bucks have talent returning in the skill positions beyond barrett at qb (samuel/weber/dunn at rb, brown/smith/campbell et al at wr), although elliott and thomas will be tough to replace imho. but the o-line, which has been on it's best run of excellence imho since the 70s, will need to replace 3 spots 2 years after having to replace 4 spots after the '13 season. that's a lot of churn in a position group where coordination is vital and development usually takes a couple years. our 2-deep there this year included 3 freshmen and 2 sophs.
on defense, you're not just losing talent. bosa, washington, lee, apple and bell were on an elite level. this year's d-line does have some depth (hubbard, holmes, munger and sprinkle all will do well next year) and the db's will include a kid named marshon lattimore who, if his hammy can fully heal, could be a shawn springs/antoine winfield-type star. but for the first time in quite a while, i'd be surprised if osu is a favorite for the big 10 next year. talented, but extremely unproven. mark scott tosu 81Read more: aolcfboutcasts.proboards.com/thread/7120/ohio-state-buckeyes?page=300#ixzz4UjeaZ0YV[/i]hmm. how cocky a statement was that??? lmao. also, in terms of pre-season predictions, cwg saw the bucks going 11-2 this year, w/losses at ou and vs either um or msu w/a bowl win. not bad, mike. i'd call that virtually spot on. nobody was predicting cfb playoffs in september. this team had just 6 returning starters, and of the 16 who left, 75%+ went to the nfl. with that kind of talent drain, this team went 11-1 in the regular season. did they lay an egg the size of a glacier in glendale? no doubt about it. it will likely set the collective perception of osu/big 10 back to pre-'14 versions. some of it deserved. and despite having just 1 senior among the starters, center pat elflein, malik hooker's announcement will probably set the tone of 4 others leaving early, at the least. so there will still be spots open in '17. so the question is, how much will this team grow up in the off-season? after 4 years of stout play on the o-line, we took a step back this year. we discovered that weber isn't elliott, j.t. started fast then plateaued. the same for noah brown, who i thought would break out at wr. and no one stepped up imho there except for samuel. viktor and campbell will get their shot next. i was proud of how the defense performed, from beginning to end. up front, holmes and lewis in particular shone bright; mcmillan and worley had outstanding years, and the secondary as a whole was outstanding. on special teams, fg kicking was great til season's end, punting was stellar, kick returns so-so and punt returns a roller coaster ride. room for improvement there. we had a personality and style on defense, but late in the season we seemed to be searching for it on offense. the only thing constant is change in cfb, and we're already seeing the beginnings of that on the coaching staff. will be interesting to see what develops before kickoff next fall in bloomington. '16 ended w/a bad bad taste in the mouth, and yet 61-6 in the last 5 years w/a national title doesn't exactly suck, contrary to what some have claimed in the past couple days. thoughts?
