Hey Kirk, I'm Born and Raised in Columbus and my grandparents are Alumni of OSU, all that to say I've seen alot of Buckeye Football and this is one of the most talented teams in awhile. If 💯 healthy do you think realistically Ohio State can not only beat Georgia but also TCU or avenge TTUN loss and STAY HEALTHY during the CFP???
All OSU is lacking is Balls. They have NO BALLS. That is why Michigan won, again.
CJ STROUD HAS TO RUN WITH THE BALL TO KEEP GEORGIA OFF BALANCE!! 🇬🇪 THE BUCKEYES MUST BE SUPER AGGRESSIVE ON OFFENSIVE!!
JIM KNOWLES MUST DO A MUCH BETTER JOB ON DEFENSE!! HIS FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT!!
It's all about anticipation and using what you have to create a better match-up for your team. Coach Day needs to improve on those parts if he wants to win big games. He's predicable in big games that have been exploited by the team up north.
I agree. The Buckeyes really have nothing to lose so let it all hang out.
Georgia is highly favored and they are the ones with the pressure on them IF we play loose.
Make them sweat.
You blither too much
Scoop and Zach Smith have mastered the Click bait headlines. Not hating on the content at all. Headlines are consistently Epic, Massive, etc. Keep up the EPIC work guys. Enjoy the content.
Players gotta make plays!!!!!! Funny I used to say the same thing about ttun…. 🤦
Right, did you see Herbert weaving through the pocket on almost every play last night.
I understand someone not thinking of themselves as a running quarterback I mean it's hard for me to imagine Craig krenzel imagined himself as a running quarterback. Craig krenzel was just one of those guys put the ego on the side and do what ever is necessary but also I understand that was a different era of football. No way we won the national title in 2002 if Craig krenzel said he doesn't like to run the ball
And I love CJ Stroud I wish nothing but the absolute best for him… There's nothing wrong with finesse offense when it works but as a long time Buckeye fan no one can be upset at us either..we expect a quarterback to put his head down and get the tough yards in the big games.. there will be three or four moments in this game when there won't be time to do a whole lot of thinking the play is not going to be there Georgia is that good… In those three or four moments the game could be won or lost on how quick you decide to get up out of that pocket and take the three or four yards that's there instead of the interception or the sack.. if read one is covered quickly to read number two nothing RUN NOW LIKE you have to beat your older brother home from school to get that last piece of Grandma's pie
SABAN GRABBING ALL THE BEST DEFENSIVE RECRUITS FOR 2023!! RYAN DAY BETTER GET HIS STAFF TOGETHER AND MAKE SOME MOVES!!
A lot of that was garbage time man. Hell by the second quarter lswho was down like three scores 😂 it’s hard to judge that way really
Nevada Buck know what Knowles is thinking? Is he friends with him? I would rather have Kirk with anyone but this guy. What’s his background? Ridiculous take.
I don't see Hartline wanting to take the O.C. job and then become the 2nd in charge of the O while Tater Day calls the plays.
Excellent coverage (lack of) breakdown, I haven't watched any Scum replays bc I couldn't bring myself to. To both your points, we can't make these mistakes 2 games in a row…. some big opps to improve and WIN! Kirk, you're spot on with the sideline head butt penalty was one of the most egregious (stupid) possibly game costing penalties we've ever seen at OSU. Hope he doesn't see the field vs. GA!
And yes, why wasn't Dallan H starting? He had such mo coming into the Scum game …. hope we don't lose him to the portal.
Kirk, you must bring this info to the coaches, I have some ideas too, but if i wrote to a coach, because i don't have their e-mails they would trash my letter right away and the coaches would not se it. You have access, all of you and Nevada's points are spot on. the video's you just should are priceless, they show the truth or the weakness. This was one of the best shows you have done, spot on, and every idea is right. Yes, perhaps the coaches see this but maybe not all nor the way you show it on film nor making the changes you success, but you have value and access to the right people there and need to do it immediately so they can prepare beginning this week, as all the skull sessions begin.
Kirk, the video on TCU quarterback run is spot on, CJ shows us he doesn't like contact as we can see because he runs tentatively like he afraid to get hurt when it is best for him and lessons the chance of him getting hurt if he just runs fast and hard then he will be in the position to slide, get our of bounce, or run past a tackle. Stop running afraid of getting tackled or hurt, this is football and it will be important to his draft value to show he can. I am sure he is a good runner, just do it. We need to quick pass, dink and dunk, quick slants, or outs, or loops, have Cade go in motion across the line and act like he going to block on the d tackle or outside linebacker than have him one time go out into the flat and do it fast and get the pass fast so he can turn and head up field, maybe the next time have him loop into a hole in the center of the field, miss direction of an aggressive defense works at a high percentage. We must use Hayden, he is our best back at hitting the hole, every time, not even close. It was poor coaching judgement by the coaches not using him a bunch, he earned it and proved is a good back. He hits the holes like ZEKE always did and once he gets through the first line he has the speed, power and breaking ability to take it to the end zone and at worst for a long gain and we keep field position and the ball. We must find a way to use #10 Johnson, he is so good with the ball in his hand, he gives us a high percent chance of success. I would take out a tight end, not Cade and use a quick pass to #10 Johnson and that wouldn't hurt our blocking or a rush without the tight end because of the quick pass and use of running back to cover the block. We must use our best talent to beat America's #1 team, that are the real deal. I agree with you, we must play only our #1's on defense unless someone is not doing the job. It is do or die to the championship now. We can get our football Program some of the respect back we lost in that loss to Michigan. Please point out the video's you just showed us and offer ideas. WE NEED YOU TO STEP UP AND GET TO THE COACHES.
I understand you are a buckeye fan, so you don’t have a grasp on the game of football, but LSU had all those yards because Georgia was stomping them. They had to throw all the time for any chance to try and comeback. Plus Kirby Smart is the best defensive head coach in the land, no way will he let that happen again.osu should do college football a favor and stay home and focus on another top recruiting class that will not preform in big games like always
As a Georgia fan, I love the coaching match up here. Definitely feel Georgia has an advantage having Kirby and 4 weeks to prepare for OSU.
If anybody follow kirby smart for years…his defenses always struggled with mobil QB's. He's a guy who hates to use a spy for the QB so guys who can move could be a boost.
Nebraska needs to run the triple option, they might win some games
We don't have no answer for those big TE's . That's what scares me the most
Utilize their best players — Harrison Jr, Henderson
Make Georgia adjust. Force Harrison Jr the ball. He is not coverable 1 on 1.
Also utilize Fleming – he’s going to be covered by Georgias third best CB
That should be a mismatch in all due respect
We talk bad about Yurcich but they had us clamped a lil bit. Why can't we get that same production out of DCs
C.J. is one key but the secondary is the biggest key. They need to play there best game. If not we will loss.
Most negative fan base in all of football
What the entire year and see how many times Martinez was burned when he was in. He has not earned time on the field.
Maybe Ohio State can pick a play clock watcher who's only responsibility is to inform Day when the clock is ticking down, and we don't get 2-3 delay of game flags
If CJ runs every down, Buckeyes win big
you will be able to tell in the 1st quarter, you can see signs of giving up.
Defensive coordinator is key! If he is going to remain stubborn (stupid?) and refuse to make necessary and obvious half-time adjustments (even my soccer-playing grandson called it out # half-time) then we are in trouble for sure! Also, do the DBs realize it is not against the rules to use your arms, not just their shoulders, when tackling?
Go bucks crush Georgia Ohio state 66 dogs 31
Great Show and Go Bucks!
I would move MH around everywhere and target him at least 12 -15 times. He's the key to winning
Let us hear about Treveyon Henderson! He's the man !
CJ would be running if Urban were the coach.
Caleb winning the Heisman it's kind of like getting the non participation trophy. Because his team won't be in the final four. I did like his comment though, a little bit when he mentioned that he was up there receiving that trophy but not in the final four. And I can understand that because honestly I believe College athlete who has the chance to make it to National Title would rather have that trophy than any single personal reward. If their mind and heart is in the right place. Yes he did give the pose during the UFC Utah game at the end of a touchdown he scored. I'm sure USC will be better next year but they will also have competitions from Washington now with a new coach. I think the Pac-12 is getting much better.
If they can't run they are in trouble. Don't get it twisted UGA lead lswho 35 to 10 they had know choice but to pass.
We'll be fine. Just stop the deer in the headlights thing. Play your game. When you wake up during the first quarter and say" these guys are good" or "this is tougher than I thought" just frigging play. Sure you've seen their 2022 film against some overrated teams and frankly some weak opponents. Of course they looked impressive. So did you all year except for 1.25 quarters against TTUN. Let it go. We'll play them again soon if they survive their own game
Henderson is OUT!!!!
You guys are living in fantasy land..Dawgs are gona manhandle osu..Maryland isn't even better than Vanderbilt and osu barley handled them..
Kirk Barton- “the Georgia defense isn’t anywhere close to where it was last year.”
Bro…..
the offense is not the key LSU got 500 passing yards in a loss the defense is more the key to the game
What I remember about the LSU game is LSU had a couple of trick plays in the red zone that either went for key first downs or touchdowns. Also, LSU was much better getting first downs in short yardage situations. Probably due to their big defensive tackles. Regardless, we had chances to get the lead, but made mistakes.
I think you’re selling the Georgia defense just a tad short by saying they’re not nearly as good or productive as last year. As well as I believe if stroud is running that’s bad for OSU… he runs what a 4.7 40 and doesn’t have that fast twitch and 80% of georgias entire defensive roster is sub 4.7 in the 40 with around 50% in the 4.5 40 or faster range. Georgia won’t be out of position. I’ll be in the stands
