@finelyshedded Buckeyes tend to play better as the season progresses. They usually true up everything a little here and a little there. By end of season they are usually solid. Then it is play off time and they get exposed again. Mainly because they put band aids on everything and it works. . . Against lesser teams. Not so much on a top 5 team. Would you agree with this Ric?
I would not say Ryan Day's position should be in question. Combs should be moved back down the ladder though. Just my thoughts.
All teams tend to play better than they did the first few games and if they don’t they either just plain suck or need to make a coaching change. IMO
OSU has great talent, they just need to play the best players but also put them in the right positions and coach them and work on their fundamentals.
I agree that Ryan Days job should not be in jeopardy nor was I implying that it should be. I’m totally happy having him as our HC but I hope he finds better coaches to help him especially on Defense! I hope we can get back to the Silver Bullet type of flying around and playing aggressive and smart defensive football. Right now it’s a lot of flat footed second guessing inexperience out there that better get fixed or they’ll be lucky to make a bowl this year. Yes, these kids are young and need to go through a learning curve but it’s funny that Saban never seems to have that problem. That’s why he’s by far the best and is never complacent and pushes all of his players to play better even after big wins or blowout wins.
The Big Ten looks to be very competitive this year so every game will be a battle. May the best team win!
GO BUCKS!
