I am curious why anyone thinks we will improve this year? Our best players are gone. OLine will be worse. Our QBs haven't progressed since they set foot on campus. Beck and the bin

MCL sprain is what C. Williams had last year right?

He had three injuries: MCL sprain, PCL sprain, and meniscus tear.

It all depends on the severity of Dele's sprain. We might see him by week 1 (very optimistic), or he might be on ice until October.

So 2 freshmen may be starting in the secondary week 1?

If our third CB is a freshman it is because he passed up a couple of upper classmen along the way. It’s not like the freshman is starting out of necessity.

I love Ojomo but I hope to God we redshirt him this year. The kid would be a five star recruit this year if he were a senior in HS.
He can play in 4 games and still shirt, don't think it's gonna be an issue. The problem is actually getting 3 full seasons out of good players. The pull of NFL money is strong..

Good thing Lil' Boyd is too busy knocking out Californian transplants that he can't play football. 

And Freeman decided to go off to FIU.

Time to put Gary Johnson in bubble wrap. He's already had one scare this fall.

Didn't see this posted yet from Bitchass Bobby Burton

I am told that yesterday’s scrimmage wasn’t a great one. In large part the quality of play has been hampered by the large number of players out with injuries. With starters like Gary Johnson and Jeffery McCulloch out, I’m told the offense actually held its own and won the scrimmage.

**

I’ll start with a part of the game that I have been told has been underreported, Special Teams. I’m told Josh Rowland took most of the kicking duties and went 2-3 on the day with a miss on a 38 yarder. I’m told Cam Dicker came on for a late 54 yarder and nailed it. I’m told it would have been good from at least 64. Ryan Bujcevski was the lone punter on the day and like his cousin’s freshman campaign, I’m told his efforts could have been titled “The Punter II: A New Adventure” with one kick going almost sideways for 45 yards.

**

I’m told the LB room added another wounded warrior with Aoyodele Adeoye suffering a knee injury. Todd Orlando I am told was been tinkering with walk-ons running with ones to cover all the holes. The secondary has also seen a rise in casualties as I’m told Davante Davis tweaked his hamstring and all the 2-deep on the DL were either helped off the field or missed significant action with injuries. Chris Nelson was held out after one series, again nursing his elbow I’m told.

**

The tandem of Shane Buechele and Collin Johnson was the story of the scrimmage, I’m told. My sources say that the duo connected on multiple TD passes. Sam Ehlinger’s reps with the first team resulted in a series of miscues. Calvin Anderson was blown off the line by Charles Omenihu, who stripped Ehlinger causing a fumble. On the next series, I’m told Tarquon Graham split the gap between Anderson and Patrick Vahe causing Ehlinger to hurry his pass which was intercepted by Kris Boyd.

**

I am told the running game also saw late success with Daniel Young and Keaontay Ingram taking it to the house on successive series. Kyle Porter got most of the early carries, but it is hard to separate his lack of production from the weak, early performance of the OL I am told.

**

On offense the injuries were largely limited to the RB room, according to sources. Tre Watson was limited after what my sources say was a twisted ankle. Kirk Johnson may have had the play of the day when he juked multiple LBs and DBs on his way to a long TD run. While flexing and posing in celebration, I am told he blew out his EGO ligament and had to be assisted off the field by the team psychologist.

**

I’m told Calvin Anderson’s time with the ones had Herb Hand mocking Anderson as being ‘soft as undercooked crème brule’. When Okafor slid back over to left tackle the offense got a boost, I’m told, and Ehlinger later hit Devin Duvernay on a beautifully thrown bomb.

**

In other injury news, our own Chip Brown reports that though Chris Nelson was claiming issues with his troublesome elbow, the likely reason for his lack of participation was due to his transfer paperwork to USF finally going through.

**

Our sources have also given us some feedback on the game-day closing of San Jacinto for Bevo Way as announce by AD Chris Del Conte. While most of the response seems to have been positive, some more well-established alumni have told me that they aren’t pleased that they can’t drive and park near to the stadium and one even referred to the plan as ‘Steve Patterson Way’.

**

Our sources have also given us some new intel on the latest bruhaha between Tom Herman and Urban Meyer. Chip Brown is reporting that while the source for Jeff Snook isn’t Tom or Michelle Herman, the information did come from Texas. The leaker was actually Todd Orlando. Chip’s sources in Vegas have been giving him solid odds that Todd Orlando, not Tom Herman, would be at the forefront of any search by Ohio State, if and when Urban Meyer is let go. Orlando may have leaked the information, but Tom Herman getting the blame certainly was no accident, according to Chip.

I totally thought it was real until this sentence:

I realized there was no way they're actually letting the QBs take hits. Of course, I didn't yet know if it was Burton making shit up, or a parody...
