This game should be an advertisement for the 12 team playoff if you care about any sort of postseason.  The NY6 games have actually become the worst games

Be tough to top that clinker

don't think the bowl games really matters at all anymore, but they definitely count of course. basically the only bowl games that matter are the playoffs, which is why I am for expanding it to 12. MBGMA. Make Bowl Games Matter Again.

As for Ohio State, think that game showed that McCord was the best option they had- and that Day will likely hit the portal for a QB. Also think it showed just how important Marvin Harrison JR was to that offense. He is literally uncoverable at the college level- he changes the math for how a defense has to defend OSU's offense. Needless to say that without him- it's a much easier offense to defend.

Ohio State might be in some trouble next year if they don't get a portal QB. 

Was reading about Carson Hinzman being benched by Day. Some interesting stuff out there.

C'mon home, son.

Ohio State's OL has been pretty bad all year. If he got benched on that OL probably not a guy good enough to play at Wisconsin....

Announcers doing their job.
Talking up the game.

That’s not really true, though. I’ve watched plenty of bowl games the last two weeks.  I’ve heard many announcers talk about the numerous absences for each team.

In the Ohio St game they were talking about how so few guys opted out.  I mean, I get MHJ was a big opt out and after Brown got hurt they were down to their 3rd string QB, and they mentioned a couple of guys being injured, but the talk I heard was how many players OSU had going.

Joey Galloway cited that as his main reason for picking OSU to win.

well, this crew was hiding it.
heard them say a couple times that EVERYONE that was not injured was playin.
Didn't say much about McCord not being there.
I assume the WR that was looking to transfer wasn't there either.  They didn't talk about him.
If they really did just have a QB and a WR out (obviously two dudes) they sure looked like crap.

it was interesting. Going into the game I was most excited to see how Devon Brown has progressed being given all of the first team reps.  Did not get to see that. 

the defense was elite again keeping a team that averages 36 points a game to zero for 3/4 and 14 in total. Normally you win a lot of games like that 

the line, it’s easy to look bad when the other team knows you can’t pass the ball and they can load the box and blitz on virtually every play.


I’m not worried about the quarterback. With another spring and fall practice and getting the reps either Devon Brown or Lincoln Keenholts will step up. They are both extremely talented. 

just look at JJ mCCarthy‘s progression. He was a turnover machine who couldn’t throw for shit when he first started playing.

What are you seeing out there about Carson Hinzman?
 
he was one of their better linemen and most consistent through the season.
