Well, there goes my Surly cred.
The days of the shaggy rep lounge are a bygone era sir. The only cred you get around here is some burnt ends flair with an empty promise of a T-shirt that never arrives.

We won’t live with rpo slants in this game. Downs, the 6’4-6’5 edges and their backers’ splits will muddy those windows quite a bit.
This is a game where we are just going to have to go beat guys and make plays. I am not sure how I feel about that.

Curious what running scheme those teams used if they primarily got those yards running between the tackles or running outside plays. It seemed like our outside zone scheme floundered against faster, more athletic lines like Georgia or ASU, and flourished against bigger “stronger” lines like A&M.
Ohio State’s D isn’t as athletic as Georgia imo, but they are close and in theory have the makeup speed to catch up to our outside zone/screen plays. I wish Sark would have a little more willingness to run Gibson on inside zone because that sets up the RPO plays (like we did against Michigan and Florida), but I don’t think he has the willingness to change it up this late in the season.
Gibson has fumbled a ridiculous amount of times for as many touches as he has had. He was put on the shelf for three or four weeks during the middle of the season, was put in for one play, and fumbled again. I don't want Gibson anywhere near this game.

I've told it before, numerous times, but fuck it, it's been awhile.
My sophomore and junior years, we played G-Ball in Galveston. The police escort would pick us up at the Causeway and bring us to the barbed-wire protected stadium. Each year, we were GBall's homecoming. You walk off the bus and angry fans are throwing food and drink at us, 2 hours before the game, and they're taunting us with "little ass whiteboys!!" and "dirty ass mexicans!" as we scrambled for the locker room.
Just before kickoff, regrouped in the shitty locker room underneath the north end zone bleachers, we're getting the pep talk from the HC when the ceiling starts dropping paint and dust as the whole building shakes. "Oooo, Ahhh, G-Ball High! ... Ussay Aussay, the G-Ball Posse!! <boom boom bah, boom boom bah> G-Balllllllllllll, Hey Hey, G-Ball Hiiiiiiiiiiigh!!!>" I'm 15 and these guys have had 7 points scored on them in 6 games and they're ranked #4 in the fucking state. It was somewhat intimidating.
We come running out of the tunnel, then get blocked by the band. Immediately nachos and cokes are raining down on us. They didn't chalk the field. They painted it. You get tackled on the lines or a hash and skin is getting torn off. Like landing on concrete. I caught a pass in the flats and some All State dumbass who couldn't score 700 on the SAT named Rodney Artmore hit me like a fucking bus.
We scored 3 points in two seasons against them on their turf.
My senior year, our coach brilliantly decides that they'll be our homecoming game. While I was having a good game individually and likely getting concussed by Cephus Scott (KSU) on passes over the middle, we as a team are getting absolutely pummeled. Their defensive line is mowing through our OL like a hot knife through butter.
At some point in the second half, a commotion is going on in the sugar huddle. I walk over from the outside and think "what in the fuck is going on?"
The center, a good friend of mine but also a pussy, is crying/bawling inside his helmet. Truly red-faced and crying. The other guys are talking shit to him about getting it together. "You guys don't understand!! This guy is a fucking animal. He's beating the shit out of me!! It's like being in a goddamned street fight!"
I walk off. "Christ."
The literal next play, the DT grabs our center and hurls him into our QB while the QB is dropping back and is sacked by his center.
I laughed inside as I was also embarrassed.
The DT for G-Ball? A freshman or sophomore Casey Hampton.
This story needs to find it's way to Gerry H. I think he would enjoy it.

Quinn needs to play well above his norm the next two games to win a title. But to engage in the hypothetical and the QB debate, I assume your #2 ranking bumps him in front of Colt, and behind Vince. So between Colt and Quinn, it really depends on how much weight someone in this debate puts on a championship.
Even if Quinn plays like Superman over the next two games, it's going to be hard for me to put him in front of Colt. Yes, Colt has no titles, and Quinn would have one. But Colt's overall body of work as a QB is much better than Quinn's. We won a lot of games because of Colt. We also won a few games in spite of Quinn.
Let me give you a little insight into why Quinn seems to eat against stronger opponents such as Michigan, Bama, etc.
Most teams that play Texas say.. "Fuck this, we need to keep everything in front of us." So Quinn has played against the three high safety look the majority of his career in Austin. Certainly the B12, but teams did it a bunch against us this year as well. However, when you find teams that say "We are good enough to guard them, we will play them in single or two high looks", then Quinn suddenly goes off. He is hitting worthy for moonshots all day against Bama, he is torching Michigan's secondary, etc. When Quinn wasn't running for his life against Georgia, he started putting together some nice downfield throws. He has been far more accurate the last three games down the field and outside of the numbers. Now he just needs to not float the ball and we could see a true offensive explosion.
I predict that he is going to hit some big plays down the field versus tOSU. Knowles is one of the better 3 high defensive coordinators out there, but he doesn't run that concept all the time because they have the athletes to cover in man. Once they go man, I expect Quinn to carve them up. When they roll back into a 3 high look, I expect us to try and run the ball with the wide zone. If Quinn breaks 300 yards against tOSU, I think we win that game.

He's a 2nd or 3rd round pick and might be pushed higher due to scarcity. For reasons you bizarrely cite in regard to staying in college, he should go pro in this cycle. Allegedly, his family still feels the same way.
Notre Dame is believed to be the one floating the big offer.
Once Quinn goes through workouts and throws for teams, he will start shooting back up draft boards. The guy is going in the first round, I just expect it to be in the low first round. That extra year for a starting QB on a rookie salary is a huge deal.

Those LBs were some bad ass, hard hitting Mother effers.
I remember getting frustrated that Vince couldn't get by them on scrambles.

Followed by Drew Kelson's strip sack. That was a great 2005 Ohio State team.
They ended the season ranked #3 with their only loss to us. Legit national title capable team.

Kicking field goals is like golf. It is such a technical skill that if something breaks you can break 10 other things trying to chase the first thing.

I really like KJ, I just hope he sticks around long enough to play here. If Arch is in no hurry it might make it uncomfortable for him.

He could also transfer to another team and completely tank his draft stock after getting injured again and/or playing much much worse than this year.
This. If they can't keep him clean in the pocket he will either not make it through the season or further fall in the draft. I still think a team moves up and takes him late first round, like picks 28-31. That rookie contract for a QB if they hit is gold.

If Sark is in "Dont fucking touch me Fox sideline guy!" mode a week out from the game, then I think that is a good sign. We need him calling plays pissed off.
