  1. There’s a screenshot. Nonetheless, I’ll step aside on this.
  2. It hit his hand. And he jumped. Both feet left the ground. Why? It touches his hand a foot off his back shoulder. He never stops. I’m not sure he slows. Then leaves his feet. You can take a screenshot with the ball out of the hand with the ball out in front of Wingo. It’s like he saw it late or was trying to keep his stride for the big play rather than just catch it. But sure, go with your initial impression and dead set on any alternative theory. Ah the arrogance of the white man.
  3. I’ve watched it again. Lots of fan dramatics. Arch wasn’t near as bad as made out to be. Let’s start with the last drive pass to Wingo. Complete misjudge of the ball. He had time to react, maybe even stop, yet he keeps running. The throw to Endries before was garbage. Then you have the Baker whiff on the last play. The drive that ended on the Livingstone throw. From the opposite hash on 4th and 3. Assinine play call. The in breaking route was probably the best choice, but that’s a rather long throw for 3 yards too. On the 3rd and 3 to Wingo. Not a good throw, but there’s some rationale behind it. We motion Wisner out. The LBers stay put. I’m guessing Sark anticipated movement. So Arch passed on Wingo in the first window due to the LBer then there was some pressure and that along with the angle he throws it sidearm. As for coaching, 3rd and 3, why not Baxter? Why not run? On the half yard line. We have the advantage over the LG. Does Arch have the authority to change the play? Some of Arch’s crappy passes didn’t kill drives. The first play of game. Drive ends with a 4th down run. The Moore catch behind the LOS. We converted that for a first. The run game was decent but provided minimal threat to OSU to force them out of coverage. OSU didn’t seem to be conceding the downfield passing game. Our approach wasn’t good to offset. And they are a good pass D as well. I can’t imagine we will face many that can replicate it. There were some open guys, but there were a ton of covered guys and guessing some that appeared open but really weren’t. This game really shouldn’t change the season long expectations. There are positives offensively. The defense met expectations, at least.
  4. I fully expect this team to make a run at it all. He has as good a screen game as I’ve ever seen. Often when we struggle he goes away from it or rather stays away from it. It’s not the reason but that is an effective way to get some rhythm. You can get all twisted but I’m not speculating on an install is not fully functional. That’s your speculation. I’m saying that’s not the reason and provided you some rationale for that. I don’t expect perfection from a QB. Quite the opposite. I expect a handful of poor or mediocre games a season. The play caller should as well and have contingencies for when those hit. Things prepared to shift that momentum. Yes, he’s been at forefront of building this out. He’s also at the forefront of the offense, and it’s trailed the defense, which was again the case today. It is the players that execute, but it’s the coaches that often swing the ease of execution one way or the other. To get over that hump, our chances improve if we shift that ease of execution. I’d wager today and the way it turned out that it’s better for us in the end.
  5. They went 68 yards. If we punt into the end zone, they may well go a whole 12 yards more. It didn’t set them up in scoring position. And we ultimately lost because we didn’t score enough. I am not debating he had some crappy throws. But go back and watch that Jeremiah Smith 16 yard gain. His longest of the day. That’s the shit I’m talking about. Not a WR running away from you because if that’s supposed to be at 10 yards and somebody’s is running 7, it screws with the QB. That is less of an issue with a stationary target. There’s absolutely several instances with Wingo in which it feels a little off. It also stands to reason that if he’s cautious with Arch running, then he is cautious in the pass game because he’s playing in fear.
  6. Moore, Wisner, Baxter, Arch, Campbell, Hutson, Neto, Goosby have all been here 3 or 4 years. Sark has been here 5 years now. There’s no excuse to not be running whatever you want to be doing. You aren’t even getting more than 3 years out of the best of the best anyway. And if people think that this offense is completely different than last year or that the second unit ran something different than the first unit, that’s asinine or piss poor coaching. And you can absolutely coach the play making out of guys. Based on the A&M, Kentucky, UGA x 2, OSU x 2, it is a reasonable question.
  7. I’m assuming you’ve watched football. I’m assuming you’ve seen some no huddle to change game flow. He knows the defense is showing up. The biggest risk to the defense is an offense that doesn’t produce. Turnovers themselves aren’t always the issue. There are things a coach can do to get you in the flow of the game. Arch had all of 5 incompletions at the half. 5. That is not many. There are easy QB throws. I’m talking those in which there’s not much thinking. We ran two screens. They both worked. The second may have been latter half of the 4th quarter. It even took awhile to get Arch involved in the run game and apparently there was some reference to the fact that he gets more into the game after that. As a sonofabitch that played the fucking position at some level, I get that.
  8. I understand that, but OSU guys submarined the Oline due to our predictability. Hill whiffed on his tackle. Defensively, we failed to execute. Offensively that play was dead in the water. This notion that you’ll beat strong defenses in situations when they have numbers is a weakness of Sarks. Teams don’t really do it to us so why should we expect it either. Some play action, getting on the edge could introduce some hesitation.
  9. You realize that they had a deep handoff on 4th and goal. We didn’t. If we flip that, maybe we do win. I’m on board with winning it all, but Sark needs to be less of a dumbass. Come out gunning and quit playing scared.
  10. Quite a bit of criticism for Klubnik in last years opener.
  11. This is legit question. On the final 4th down, he and Endries almost ran into each other on the mesh. The play before, yes, it was a poor throw, but there’s a reason to question. Looked as though he left his feet, but it’s also a bit odd it ended up behind him. Others questioned the throw on the 5. Yep, poor throw but not a ton of sellout either. And think back to Golden missing in the Cotton Bowl. No impact other than drawing PI.
  12. The differences in rosters were negligible. Ohio State lost a couple last year. They basically made 1/2 more plays than us in each of the two matchups.
  13. You seem like the type that might not believe it if Baker was standing right in front of you and told you himself.
  14. But this a dumbass assumption. Same as those assuming we win it all last year with a different QB.
  15. You answered no questions. I am aware it’s no juggernaut. The question is - should it be?
