Sure but the way they dominated the 2nd half you think would excuse the worst 2 quarters they’ve played all year. Still, I think it’s good to have some extra motivation because it definitely looked like we lacked it yesterday. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Cow 1,412 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Agreed about the seeding, but there is no point in #####ing about it. You will have to play 2 good teams either way. Just play what you have in front of you. I am 100% confident that they will come out ready and they have proven that they can adjust in the 2nd quarter or 2nd half better than anyone. Now, the early signing period is almost upon us. . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This upcoming recruiting season has me intrigued. For me, Day has passed the “head coaching” test as well as he possibly could - I know, Captain Obvious! His ability to adjust, not panic, remain calm, etc has been awesome! Our team has been prepared for every game this season unlike anything I have ever seen. Even when we got punched in the mouth Saturday night, the team responded properly and that comes from preparation. This man can coach!! I also think he is a going to be a great developer of the talent he has. I think Olave is an example of that. From what I remember, Day found Olave while scouting someone else. Olave was a 3 star recruit I believe and to see how Olave has developed since The Game in 2018 to now has been amazing (lots of credit to Hartline as well!)! The big question for me is can Day consistently recruit top 5 classes. I don’t follow recruiting enough to have a very strong opinion on it, but this obviously separates the elite programs from everyone else. There are plenty of amazing coaches that because of their school, location or their personalities can not recruit at elite levels every year. I think this was Urban’s greatest strength. He kept the coffers full EVERY YEAR. Can Day keep it going? Will he drive and push as hard as Urban? I tend to think Day will be a top recruiter, but we shall see. In the end, I have been thinking and I believe that Urban’s greatest contribution to The Ohio State University may be the hiring of Ryan Day! Coach Day appears to be ELITE! Go Bucks!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, we currently have the #1, 4 and 5 WR's in this incoming class. We are ranked #3-4 depending on the site. He can certainly recruit for now, we will see if it continues, but the players seem to genuinely love him and his approach. I would bet he will be a recruiting beast. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Cow 1,412 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 No surprises so far with the signing day. Waiting to see if we land CJ Stround, that is in an hour or so. Have to wait on Clark Phillips until tomorrow, a little last minute drama with Utah there. Cam Martinez waiting until February. Jeff Hafley did some great things for us, but man the timing of his leaving really screwed with some things with this recruiting class. Oh well. Would be cool to see Kerry Coombs back in the fold.

Galileo 7,032 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) This thread seems forgotten. @Mad Cow where are you? Solid win tonight. Fields is a special talent, but I am also impressed with the receiving crew. I am just not sure how much is OSU's talent and how much is Penn St secondary issues, but it seems Fields had players open all the time. ETA...did I miss something regarding Mad Cow? Doesn't look like he has posted in quite some time. I tried to send a PM also, but it says he can not receive messages... Edited November 1, 2020 by Galileo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peak 1,333 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It looks like they are playing a very vanilla defense. I couldn't believe how far off the line the DBs were playing most of the night. Good game....but some missed opportunities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best chance is to hope there is another cancellation this week due to Covid. Nebraska? Minnesota? It has to be within the B1G Conference. Otherwise, UC or BYU would be other likely candidates. If they can't get a game this weekend, I'd assume B1G Conf Chair will amend his rules to let OSU play in the B1G Conf Championship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another thread from last week noted that there was a meeting between the coaches and parents where Harbaugh wanted to play last week, but the parents vetoed it due to safety concerns.

They did not talk about potentially scheduling other games, particularly OOC games for this weekend.
