2024 Ohio State Off-Season Thread

Yes- not sure why they let him get away.  He was solid and proven.  Struggled a bit pass blocking but still damn good runner.

Thankfully the 2 RBs they recruited looked excellent in the spring game and throughout, in addition to Caffey. 

That pass blocking BS was dismissed by many as they presented video of other backs whiffing on theirs also. Not even mentioning the O-line, might have had something to do with Tony Alford - who is Michigan's problem now But going deeper into the season now with extended play offs will mean attrition and many feel Day didn't give him the rock enough to keep him sharp and I agree. Used him effectively when needed then put him back into the box. Caffey also tore his acl I believe.It's a collision game and a long season so......

So, is it reasonable to put OSU at #2 preseason, do you think?  I see their defense being ranked pretty high, and their offense is usually quite good.

What are their key games, or dangerous road games?

I'd have UGA #1 and OSU #2, Texas #3.

Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2024

Ohio State
“It’s not national title or bust, but it’s certainly beat Michigan or bust, and the expectation is always to win the league."

"This is maybe the most talented roster [Ryan] Day has had since he took over."

"[QB Will] Howard doesn’t have to be special; he just has to be smart. That signing didn’t turn heads the way some of the other flashier portal quarterbacks might have, but all he has to do is manage and distribute. They’re absolutely stacked at other positions."

"Day is a great collaborator; the Chip [Kelly] thing won’t be a nuisance or a problem at all. If you believe what Chip’s said, that he just wants to focus on ball and not worry with the administrative stuff, this is a fantastic hire for them."

"Nothing really matters until they can get Michigan off their backs in November. The standards here are higher than anywhere else this season.”
