Willyville Guy Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Just got through the spring game. Not much to say other than the defense looked pretty damn good — hopefully we see measurable improvement in Knowles’s second year. The other thing is that McCord looked okay but we need to see more imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternOHBillsFan Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Personally I think Ryan Day is in serious jeopardy after 2024 if he can't beat Xichigan... and I am also very concerned about the state of QB play as well going forward. When the playoff expands is when we will know what's what... I just hope that they get the QB right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a chance, but I sincerely doubt that Day will break from the Meyer way of committing to a QB and sticking with him... it would take a monumental effort by Brown or injury to change the depth chart IMHO. I have seen this movie too many times where even if the QB performs better, the established backup gets the job (see the disastrous Barrett decision where Burrow played better but Barrett was handed the job).

Willyville Guy Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Gameday baby LFG!!! Not entirely sure what to expect this year. The roster looks stacked but the QB is just a huge question mark. Hopefully Day will continue his streak and develop a fourth consecutive new starter into a first-round draft pick. I'd also like to see the defense take a significant step forward after dropping a major bag on Jim Knowles the year before last. And of course The Game has become even more of a pressure cooker as TUN looks like it has its best team in years. Can't wait -- fight the team across the field and Go Bucks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyville Guy Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Quick thoughts on Wk 1. Defense looks incredible -- DLine made a huge difference, Sonny Styles living up to the hype at safety is great to see. McCord looked stiff -- I don't think he played badly, but he needs to loosen up. Playcalling didn't help. Playcalling was weak -- way too conservative for this much talent at the skill positions. Open it up! Chip Trayanum should be RB1 -- I know there's a lot of investment in Henderson, but Chip looks different out there. Stover was a menace at TE -- love to see it.

Not at the table Karlos Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Went to the game today vs Youngstown. First time watching specifically Marvin Harrison Jr for whole game. Holy cow he runs some sloppy routes. His talent is undeniable and he'll dominate college just with that along with size and speed but he needs to work on a lot before getting to the pros. I figured he would be pretty polished with his dad helping him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Big week this week! Some notes... - McCord has looked pretty cool under pressure, so this will be a huge test whether or not this carries over once he gets top level rushes in his face. He's definitely looking more Burrow-like which is a positive. - The offensive staff needs to do a better job in allowing McCord to spread the defense out in their playcalling... far too much short stuff which can be dangerous. - Is it me or are the RBs not much of a speed threat outside and are very north-south oriented? I don't think that Notre Dame will be too worried about covering outside runs, which could be an issue. - The defense has played great and has been quite sharp, which is VERY encouraging. If the offense has long stretches of little production, the defense could be huge factor in keeping it close enough to pull out a victory.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Well, time to revisit my notes before the TOSU/ND game: McCord has looked pretty cool under pressure, so this will be a huge test whether or not this carries over once he gets top level rushes in his face. He's definitely looking more Burrow-like which is a positive. McCord played like Joe Burrow in the end, that same sort of cold calculated delivery, and what a time to do it. He proved a lot last night. - The offensive staff needs to do a better job in allowing McCord to spread the defense out in their playcalling... far too much short stuff which can be dangerous. Finally we saw what can happen when Day allows McCord to sling it, and boy did he sling it when we needed it! Could Day have been holding things back for this game? Interesting thought. - Is it me or are the RBs not much of a speed threat outside and are very north-south oriented? I don't think that Notre Dame will be too worried about covering outside runs, which could be an issue. Although it wasn't an issue, the RBs still are playing north-south and not too many plays went outside for the backs. Honestly the emergence of Chip Trayanum was exciting- he plays with juice and more quickness, which is a dynamic that needed. He could be special. - The defense has played great and has been quite sharp, which is VERY encouraging. If the offense has long stretches of little production, the defense could be huge factor in keeping it close enough to pull out a victory. Well, the defense did its job in pass defense, but the run defense was not good... far too many runs by all of the ND backs which could have been catastrophic but fortunately Hartman wasn't up to the challenge.

Penn State really knows how to destroy 5 star QBs...and get scrappy 2 star QBs to play with moxie. McGloin, McSorley, Clifford >>> Hackenberg & Allar. Pribla may be in that former camp too....just disapointing. Strange part with Allar is that he isnt bad. He has ALL the tools. He is poised and confident. He doesn't throw interceptions. He is just inaccurate (thus far) and has no good receivers. Dare I say he needs a Josh Allen type of turn.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyville Guy Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Tough game - OSU just had more playmakers on offense. With all the frustrations watching McCord's week-to-week and quarter-to-quarter development, the OL's shocking struggles on run blocking, and the injuries on both sides of the ball... one could be forgiven for not noticing that this season has strong 2002 vibes.
