2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
Alot replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Anyone else hear Bobby mention this morning that Eddrick Houston got injured again last week or earlier this week? Surprised we are just now hearing about it. He didn't say anything about the severity but implied that it could impact the game. -

Wink Martindale was brought in specifically for continuity though. The last 3 Michigan DCs have all come from the Baltimore Ravens staff: Mike Macdonald, Jesse Minter, and now Wink Martindale. We’ve dismissed most of the Michigan comps from last year and rightly so. But there is one particular similarity that does apply. Both Michigan and OSU have/had a talented but shallow defensive line combined with new a defensive coordinator. When you watch the Michigan game it is obvious that the plan was to exhaust the DL starters then pound the ball when the second string came in. I would be surprised if we don’t see a similar plan on Saturday. Especially now that Baxter can be part of the pounding. That means early on we might see more tempo and outside zone schemes to get the OSU DL running from sideline to sideline. Once they are exhausted we follow with the gap power run game. -

Seems like the best way forward at this point. -

Texas Football 2025 - Careening Towards the Abyss
Alot replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Here’s what I think the sports talkers and retail bettors picking OSU are missing: 1. OSU is trotting out a QB that has never started a game (and taken fewer than 20 game snaps) against a defense that has perhaps the best pass rush and front 7 in the country. Defense travels. 2. OSU OL is still under construction against said defense. 3. OSU has new coordinators on both sides of the ball. An OC that got demoted and a DC hasn’t coached a defense in years and never in college. It’s the first game for both. 4. Texas has a more proven RB room. 5. Sark is a wizard on the road, home field is getting too much emphasis. 6. OSU DL is not deep. We saw how that worked out for Michigan. I don’t see Sayin getting comfortable at all and Texas will be able to run the ball much more effectively, especially later in the game once the OSU DL depth issues take hold. I still have 2010-2022 PTSD and am generally not optimistic about what I’m going to see on any particular Saturday but this matchup really seems to favor the Longhorns. -

I understand that the spread makes the OSU game a neutral site pick em but can someone explain to me why we aren’t favored in this one? They are starting a guy with something like 5 plays under his belt behind a suspect OL while facing a Texas front 7 that will be putting him under constant pressure. Their DL is very similar to what we saw with Michigan last year. Great starters but not deep. Sark exhausted that group by the end of the first quarter by forcing them to run sideline to sideline then ran over the backups. Smith and Downs will have their moments but I don’t see many areas where OSU has an advantage and I’m usually on the nervous/pessimistic side. What am I missing? -
I grew up in Snyder, 80 miles south of Lubbock which is really close by west Texas standards. We went to Lubbock just to see a movie, hit the mall and have fajitas at Chilis. We loved going to Tech games. Everyone I grew up with that had talent of any kind developed a deep passion to leave by the time they were in 6th grade. That place makes you hunger desperately to be somewhere else, somewhere relevant. Somewhere the wind isn’t constantly blowing. Somewhere with a tree or an interesting undulation in the earth to break up the endless flatness. It might not be true for all of them but many of these money whipped athletes are going to yearn to be elsewhere at some point. They are going to see the amazing places college football is played on their TV every Saturday and know they can have that experience. Tech might win some recruiting battles but the portal is going to be a big problem.

There is a ton of noise and back and forth on the basketball threads but it cannot be denied that this is not the standard.
