Or not.

Went rogue

A lack of forethought and an overblown sense of entitlement.

They still think that it’s the days of the Big 8 conference and they should win the National Title every season

braylon woulda caught it!

This happened at Western too.  Their first year it was all garbage and they were way worse than the previous year under I think Cubit.  Three years later they were an unstoppable machine of a MAC team.

To be fair, Minny doesn't have a QB either. 

he brings a lot of enthusiasm 

He's working with very little talent at Minny.  He recruits well and seems to have good assistants.

I think PJ Fleck has admitted that he is pretty average from an "Xs-and-Os" standpoint, but his strength are in recruiting and motivating his players to give maximum effort every day.

Similar style to James Franklin and Ed Orgeron. They utilize their strengths and throw money at high-profile asst. coaches (Joe Moorhead, Matt Canada/Dave Aranda) to cover up their deficiencies.

Lolwut

If we win the Big Ten, we'll be in the playoff.  No need to slide anywhere.

Quite the task next week. I can’t even think about that until that game is over

Has been abusing the SC defense all night. Darnold very underwelming performance. Flashes of greatness passing but 3 big turnovers. They were overrated in preseason polls. They just scored the tying, pending xp, TD. Many thought they would be a playoff team. They struggle seemingly every week

he's a turd, just like Marylands coach

But at least they’re waxing the shit teams. Cincy is getting worked by south Florida right now, and our game was competitive with them in the 4th, not to mention the other games we’ve struggled with inferior competition. If only we had an average O and play calling...

OSU is averaging 600+ yards per game and letting up 150 on defense since OU That’s hard to do even in a vacuum. Let me say this succinctly, WE ARE IN THE SOFT PART OF OUR SCHEDULE as well.

Definitely a possibility, but also keep in mind that OSU lost 3 coordinators (OC Ed Warinner, co-OC Tim Beck, and DC Luke Fickell) this offseason. It could have taken the players a few games to adjust to OC Kevin Wilson's/co-OC Ryan Day's new offense, but instead of opening against the usually MAC cupcakes to iron out the kinks, they tested the offense on Indiana and Oklahoma.

I honestly still think OSU's secondary is a little suspect. Some of it is because they lost three 1st round DBs (S Malik Hooker, CB Marshon Lattimore, CB Gareon Conley). I also think it is due to re-shuffling the defensive staff as well. Greg Schiano went from being the co-DC in charge of the secondary to the sole DC, and Kerry Coombs went from CB coach/ST coordinator to "Asst. Defensive Coordinator"/ST coordinator. So overall there is probably less attention now being focused on coaching a fairly inexperienced group of DBs.

was just speaking with Pat re: JV

 

It was vintage Verlander. I hope they take it all.

When he got 2 Ks he was dealing. And he kept painting corners with filthy stuff. Made 1 mistake that 1 Wanker turned on for the only RBI double. It was pure greatness. I hope he and the Stros can make a run for the title.
