How about try a play action on 1st down every once in a while. Pretty predictable when you run the ball on almost every 1st down.
Ohio State Buckeyes 2023

I also believe Maryland is a pretty good team this year and that coach has done a great job turning that program around but time will tell if he can keep it going.
I dont care what anyone says....Day is not a good coach, way to much talent on this team to keep struggling and not playing complete football. If they don't change it up they will not make it to the playoffs let alone the Big ten championship.
Pretty good or not, they came into today unranked and we were ranked 4th. They made us look stupid.
This team playing this game will lose to Penn State and Michigan. They will not be close. Maryland is a decent team. Decent teams do not play on New Years Eve. OSU is looking like a decent team. Sad with the amount of NFL players they have.
I do not think this Buckeye squad is headed for a national championship, but ND and Maryland are better competition than any team either PSU or Michigan has played so far. Doesn't have to be pretty, just a "W". You all are too quick to count the Buckeyes out.
I was there. The band was real good!
first half sucked. Pretty quiet in there til the pick 6. Still won by 20. Covered the spread.

"covered the spread". Exactly, but we need Ryan Day's head on a pike because we didn't look dominating enough. I have news for ya, the transfer portal has changed college football forever. There is more parity in talent today because of it, and that is going to continue. Domination in college football is going to be less and less. The best players will go where they can play immediately with other good players and have the best NIL deals
The transfer portal has definitely changed it for the better IMO!
I see many teams improve because of it. Arizona lost to USC on their turf in OT is just one example.

You're absolutely correct. Gone are the days of Alabama stacking 4&5 star recruits into the third and fourth string. Before removal of the 1 year penalty for transfer, they could stack positions and develop those players for the first two years. They would see play time after the 1st and 2nd string ran up 30+ points on an opponent, or due to injuries. As a result, by the time they saw play time when it mattered they were in their junior and senior year and highly coached and developed with big shoes to fill. That's how Alabama was able to be there year after year and have the depth to win championships. Those guys are no longer content waiting for their opportunity while being developed so they hit the portal and go to a lesser school where they can start games and try to get NIL deals. In some instances, this is great for kids, especially ones with shit coaches and programs. Take Joe Burrows for example, his move to LSU was great and he was never going to see play time at OSU. But for teams like Alabama where there's a proven program of development and creation of stars, then it's nothing but a bunch of inpatient kids who can't see the big picture. Is this great for football? Meh.. It will make for more entertaining games as talent is more spread out. But I enjoy watching high school games too because they're close and usually evenly talented, that doesn't mean it's good football though.
Such is life though. Anyone paying half attention since the BCS days can plainly tell the NCAA's intent is to dismantle any dominance and normalize everything up the middle. It's the same as when NASCAR added restrictor plates to even out the field.
With the changes in college football, it will be interesting to see how much coaches make a difference in getting and keeping 4 & 5 star talent. With the #1 2025 quarterback visiting Colorado it is going to be interesting to see how Deion Sanders does in the future.

Deion won't be there in 2025. Probably be coaching the Gators, Hurricanes, or an SEC school by next year
Glad we won on the road but still some stupid penalties and errors they need to clean up.
Coaching sucks ass on getting plays called in. Must be waiting on the palm reader or voodoo witch to make a decision. Multiple delay of games is pathetic!!!!! What a joke!
This happens multiple times every game! Once in awhile even after commercial TO,
