2024 Ohio State Season Thread

[847badgerfan]

Ohio State AD has a tough ass decision to make. I can see arguments for both sides when it comes to Day. Ultimately I think you keep him unless you have Dan Lanning or Mike Vrabel lined up as done deals. If you fire Day who will you get better than him? That’s a major risk to take.

But on the flip side that loss yesterday at home as 23 point favorites was just flat out inexcusable. Michigan was without their only threat in the pass game with Colston Loveland out and they were without their best player on the team with Will Johnson out. And then to top it off their biggest home run big play threat on offense Donovan Edwards got knocked out of the game in the 2nd QTR.

Michigan didn’t have an offense this year. The OL was about average and the QB room was without question the worst in the P4. Davis Warren fucking SUCKS horribly and Alex Orji literally cannot throw a forward pass. This was the worst OL that Moore will have at Michigan and the worst QB room…and Ryan Day somehow lost at home. It still blows my mind.

Hold my beer...

yeah, not even close. Michigan's was significantly worse.

Wisconsin's QB "room" consisted of one player.

cool. look at the stats. not even close. Michigan's pass stats are flat out atrocious. Davis Warren is the worst starting QB in the B1G and perhaps the entire P4 by a country fucking mile and Alex Orji literally cannot throw a forward pass.

If he could throw a forward pass, at least you had one. So then

1 > 0

although neither situation is exactly fun.

Oh I feel your pain, but let us know if you had a stat line like this for a game. A whole game lol

[847badgerfan]

There was one game where Locke had a rating of 18. So yeah.

Wisconsin and Michigan fans arguing on who has the worst QB's on an Ohio State thread is very on point for this place.

We have to keep their thread active since they’re going to be really busy searching for this year’s excuse. Much more difficult than the last few years so they’ll be very busy 😇

In the year since losing to the undefeated Michigan team in Ann Arbor, Ohio State vowed to do everything in their power to return the rivalry back in their favor. This offseason they...

Returned five prominent starters from last years team in TreVeyon Henderson, Emeka Egbuka, JTT, Jack Sawyer, and Denzel Burke

Acquired Will Howard, one of the most productive QBs in the country away from K State

Got Caleb Downs, an All-american level safety from Alabama

Got a 1500 yard SEC rusher in Quinshon Judkins to pair with their other All-american level RB

Got a P5 head coach who nearly won a national championship to resign from his role and take the OC job

Signed the #1 overall recruit in the country who is currently in the midst of a historically great true freshman season

Spent $20 mil, more than any other team in the country, to upgrade their roster and sure up their NIL

They were favored by 19.5 points at home

No Jim Harbaugh. No Jesse Minter. No Connor Stallions. No JJ McCarthy. No Blake Corum. No Mike Sainristil. No Colston Loveland. No Will Johnson.

Michigan threw for 62 yards and turned the ball over twice

They didn't have a single receiver catch more than one pass

AND OHIO STATE STILL couldn't win. All time embarrassing program loss. That's the worst Michigan team in over a decade and this is arguably the most talented Buckeye team in nearly a decade. It will have been over 2,000 days since Ohio State last beat Michigan when they face off in 2025...

Yes- that was definitely one of the most disappointing games I have watched as a Buckeye fan.  For sure in my top 3.  

Actually, the “style” of the game was not much of surprise and exactly exactly what I expected.  In fact with my buddy in Cleveland, who I text with about the games, we always try to predict the score and I predicted Ohio State winning 17 to 13.  Sans the 2 missed field goals, pretty close. 

I knew UM would slow this game down into a phone booth.  But I definitely thought OSU would be ready for that and scheme around Michigan’s defensive line and leverage their advantages.  

First- tip of the hat to Michigan.  They earned every bit of that.  

A lot to unpack for the Buckeyes.  The simple version - if they don’t miss two chip shot field goals, they almost certainly win. If you would have told me they would hold Michigan to 13 points and 9/16 passing for 62 yards, I would have bet a lot on a win. 

And I don’t think day came in tight.  He was aggressive out of the gate.  But once Howard threw that pick that gave UM the ball at the 2, he puckered up badly and so did Chip Kelly. He was probably having flashbacks to last years game. 

Continuing to rely on Ohio State’s greatest weakness, which is their offensive line, to run directly into Michigan’s greatest strength, which was their defensive line, was bizarre. 

10 of Michigans points came in possessions where they had no first down.   And interception and a 31 yard punt.  😂😂

He definitely has a Michigan issue in his head.  Pretty good coach otherwise but he will likely never overcome the hole he has dug.  

You know in the three years prior to this I felt like Michigan was a really good team and in the two Ann Arbor home games I thought they were the better team. But this was something different.

What Day’s buyout?
