You could have let us know that Trey Sermon was a combo of Walter Payton and Eric Dickerson
He was very good at OU and I really hated to see him leave.  He does seem to have taken it up a notch or three over the last several games.
If you noticed the little twitterstorm involving Baker Mayfield and the now (for the moment, anyway) Texas AHC Jay Boulware, here is the back story.
Sermon left OU because of Boulware.  I don't know whose fault it was, but when you're the RBs coach, and your bell-cow RB wants to leave because of you, you've probably done something wrong.
Boulware was a Bob Stoops hire.  One of the few areas where I think Lincoln Riley has mishandled things is that he kept some of Bob's assistants (including little brother Mikey) on the staff too long.  It took him three years to tell Boulware to look for another job.  But it took Sermon leaving to make Lincoln notice that something was wrong.
I'm firmly convinced that if we had had Trey Sermon this year, we'd have been unbeaten in the regular season.  Of our top 3 RBs from last year, Sermon transferred, Kennedy Brooks opted out due to COVID, and Rhamondre Stevenson was suspended for the first six games.
Stevenson is a lot like Sermon. If he comes back, he could have a monster season in 2021.
BTW, you're welcome for Sermon.  And THANK YOU, Ohio State, for Alex Grinch. I'm really looking forward to seeing our D in Grinch Year 3.

 But the short season was a bad decision and is a bad look, and some fans will see it as a reason to downgrade a tOSU NC.
if the Buckeyes somehow beat Bama, there will be no downgrading a tOSU NC

this season's Bama squad is perceived as "great"

I agree.
But you know how "some fans" are.

Bama is a 7-8 point favorite.

The soap opera between Indiana football and the Big Ten isn't quite over.

IU has removed the Big Ten logos from its jerseys and helmets ahead of Saturday's Outback Bowl against Ole Miss, apparently in response to feeling slighted by the conference in bowl selection.

Indiana coach Tom Allen says that isn't the case.

A few hours after a social media post pointed out IU removed the Big Ten logo from its jerseys and helmets, IU coach Tom Allen released a statement.

"To clarify what we are wearing on our uniform and helmet for tomorrow's Outback Bowl: since I took over as Indiana head coach, this program's mantra has been LEO, Love Each Other. This season has been the most trying we will ever experience, and we felt it was appropriate to showcase LEO, which has carried us through one of the most historic years in Indiana Football history, We did not intend to show any disrespect to anyone. We are a proud member of the Big Ten and are always representing our conference, LEO is the foundation of our program and we want to bring in 2021 focusing on our team and Love Each Other. LEO!"

That's interesting I always wondered about the backstory there.  I remember liking Sermon and was surprised he was transferring. I'm also blanking at seeing a guy have a year like he's having.  He was essentially an afterthought in the offense - his total yard numbers were 48, 56, 68, and 60 in the first four games, then 112, 331, and 261 in the last 3.  Hopefully he has one more in him.

You should thank Tennessee fans for Grinch.  He was supposed to replace Schiano, who was going to coach the Vols before they threw a big hissy fit, and then he came back and they did not really work well together, so they both got dumped when Urbs left.

I have a picture of me wearing a shirt that says Love Each Other while flexing. I was buzzing pretty good in the picture.

With Pennix at QB they are a completely different team.  An almost unstoppable offense.
