These two games coming up one day apart are almost too much for my brain to process. Stay locked!

Ohio State football— now, forever, and on Monday night.

A dream come true

ND thinks Day has thin skin that they can manipulate to their advantage. I hope Day sees it for what it is.

I’m sweating this one. ND is in a similar position that Ohio State was in when it upset Miami in the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. One of the many miracles of that game was Chris Gamble somehow shutting down Andre Johnson. Hoping the Buckeyes don’t let anything like that happen on Monday!

That is interesting and good to hear. The sense among Buckeye fans has been that he did not live up to the expectation that he would be the next Joe/Nick Bosa, Chase Young, etc. -- at least up until the last few weeks of this season. He may have been held back by changing defensive coordinators, and even when Jim Knowles settled in it seemed like Knowles and DL coach Larry Johnson were not on the same page. Once Knowles took complete control of the defense, including the line, the entire defense including Sawyer went to another level. So maybe he has more potential as a pro than we saw during his first 3.5 years in college.

That’s amazing. Go Bills and Go Bucks!!

Good analysis. I would also like to add, F Baltimore.

Looks like he got benched in the second half of the Cotton Bowl. Final snap counts were Burke 28 and Matthews 47.

F it. I'm going too.

Let’s not discuss his body of work tonight lmao. He’s on a roll.

Legendary W Tennessee in the Midwest, went out west to beat Oregon, then headed down to Texas to beat Texas. What a path. And for all the talk of NIL and the portal and the $20M roster, a homegrown kid from Pickerington iced the game. Go Bucks

Yeah, zero turnovers was another satisfying part about the Oregon game. Let’s keep that going.

A few thoughts heading into the semis. Holy Buckeye - that was incredible. Belt to a$$. The offense found huge gaps in the passing game, faster to the edges on the ground, controlled the los, and opened up a 34-0 second-quarter lead on the 13-0 #1 team in the land? Credit Oregon for winning the middle eight minutes, but they were already mortally wounded by a double-foot dropkick right to the face on offense. And the defense was flying around and hitting hard like a silver bullets defense should. Cody Simon looked like the second coming of (dare I say it) Darron Lee out there. Everyone deserves praise. I've wondered about Day, Chip, Frye, Knowles, and LJ at various times over the past few years, but this was a complete effort and total domination at the best time of year. Wow - Go F'n Bucks. So has Day already done enough to keep his job? Probably, but what if they get smashed by the Longhorns? Can the Buckeyes keep their edge for the next round? They were coming off an excruciating loss when they played Tennessee. Oregon was a revenge game. Playing in the semis shouldn't require any extra motivation but I'm wondering if they (coaches and players) will keep that chip on their shoulder next Friday.

One of my buddies refs college games around Chicago (just earned his white hat!). He agreed with the no-call and said the key physical indicators were that the defender’s arms were out and his head was up, which together indicate an intent to make a legal tackle. The tipped ball and the receiver turning into the tackle were additional mitigating factors. Meanwhile, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Penn State can play with either of these teams and has a great shot at making the CFP finals.

Keep that angry, violent energy Buckeyes. We love to see it.

I think McCord took an unfair proportion of the blame for last year, but sure there are bad apples in every fanbase including tOSU’s. I’m not sure Howard is an upgrade. He can move a little better on QB runs, but I’m generally scoring them as a wash. (Also I’m always pulling for the Orangemen, so long as their interests don’t conflict with mine.)

Another fun stat about this season is that the Buckeyes defense has allowed zero (zero!) passing touchdowns since the October 12 game against Oregon. Hopefully Denzel Burke has a redemption game in the Rose Bowl.

We’re going to throw your goalposts in the river was a wild take by Vols fans lol.

Wtf

Beast of a drive.

I choose to enjoy the rare appearance of Darth Vader Day. Welcome to Columbus, Vols.

Hey kid with no confidence, go hit a 56 yarder to stop the bleeding! NBD!!

Time stamp: 21-0, 2nd quarter, Bucks just went for and got a 4th and 4 OSU fans are chanting SEC SEC SEC. Are we back?
