OSU Insider: Inside Ohio State's MASSIVE Rose Bowl Gameplan

[@DERISNER]

Call me a boomer or whatever, but I`m just an old-fashioned Buckeye fan: I love and support my BUCKEYES 24/7 - 365 days per year, no matter what!

[@HughMorristheJoker]

I'm with you

[@tombrzozowski173]

@DERISNER We boomers know what's going on!! GO BUCKEYES!!

[@DERISNER]

Spend big money on a GREAT kicker. You`re actually buying dozens of points. Makes a HUGE difference. How could the coaching staff not see this? Great kicker = more points per game.

[@stixxinator]

Asked the same before the season. Looks like a good kicker is around 100 grand far less than any other skill position and so many times is the difference in a game as we just whitnessed... seems like a no brainer. Havent had a great kicker since Nugent..

[@jamesschmidlin1127]

They had a chance to pick up the best kicker from last season who was in the portal transitioning from Miami U of Ohio. He was an Ohio kid wanted to play at Ohio State. If they had him they would have been undefeated for today.

[@kellyldavis100]

Like before the Tennessee game, I said we need to THROW, so we can RUN. We did, and it worked well, I know Oregon’s a different game, but it still hold’s true, and plays to our strength. Nobody can stop J J Smith, and we would be stupid not to utilize that, along with Egbuka, Tate, and some TE action, as well as using Trey and Judkins out of the backfield. Take advantage of our talent.

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Yep. Once the passing game is working that's when the chunk runs start popping.

[@hakimsatterfield9380]

Slot JJ will get us a chip..

[@Enkidu-4U]

All that needs to happen is the Silver Bullets need to show up. That's the difference I was hoping for the first time they played, but alas, Gabriel is a 6th year senior and has seen a lot. D-line didn't get any pressure on him or were able to contain him. He ran around on them like they weren't even there. If Oregon can replicate that, they will have a chance. The Oregon defense should not be able to stop the Buckeye offense after the confidence they gained after this Tenn game. Remember, Ohio State & Ryan Day doesn't have a kicker or kicking game to rely on. Why they can recruit all these high caliber players but not kickers is another convo, but it is a reality OSU fans must accept. They have to win without relying on last second fieldgoals. That means they must start strong again. Keep the momentum from the VOLS game. Go BUCKS!

[@LifeConsigliere]

Birk: "AGAIN". :) Go Buckeyes

[@OhioStateGirl-r9v]

It could be a drinking game!😂

[@LifeConsigliere]

You would get stupid drunk haha 😂​@@OhioStateGirl-r9v

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Not as bad as Al "Meanwhile" Michaels.

[@RebeccaBender-yp8ns]

I want roast duck at my 2025 Rose Bowl tailgater. Pluck the Ducks, Bucks! Let us de-bill and de-feather Oregon. Please let our play and execution on offense, defense, and special teams wipe the smirk off Coach Dan Lanning’s face. Let there be no trick play or rule he can bend to win in addition to a bad OPI call on JJ and the zebras stealing our one second for the GW field goal when Will Howard slid.

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Peking Duck for NY dinner

[@Antonio-p1b]

Ohio State by 17.

[@barbbarrett5387]

Late tonight. But watching. Thanks Kirk & Nevada

[@kimberlyhurst]

Find us a reliable kicker, they are worth their weight in gold

[@yissaskarlg4708]

Yezzir! Let’s go!

[@kennethchapman9564]

So looking forward to the Rose Bowl. Dan Lanning is having to prepare for a different defense and offense than back in October. Nico is a big physically imposing QB and he absorbed a great deal of punishment Saturday night and Dillon Gabriel is a good talented QB but can he take those hits? He is physically much smaller and is going to get often and very hard.

[@joelbrooks3198]

He is a lot faster and more elusive also.

[@TristenCoon-bw3sn]

Dillion Gabriel also isn't a complete twig either like Nico is, he actually has some meat on his bones especially his lower body in his legs, he's built stronger at his base which is important on keeping him standing on those hits you can shake off as a QB kind of like what Justin Fields did here in 2019-20.

[@chayse4576]

My 2 cents, it's all on Sawyer and JTT keeping Gabriel contained, don't let him run around like the next Mahomes...

[@HandsomeCat-we2dq]

GO BUCKS! THANKS KIRK & NEVADA! -watching from San Antone.

[@NattyTime517]

Michigan is until afer the transfer portal is closed 39:00

[@anthonyaliberti]

Yep, before the game Tennessee is one of the best teams in the SEC one of the best defenses in the country after the game oh Tennessee didn’t even belong. They weren’t that good they were outmatched bullshit. Ohio State beat a very good team convincingly go buckeyes❤

[@RedSaunaBuckeye]

BUCKEYE SCOOP !! Scoop had it first💯🔥💬 Go 🏈 Buckeyes!! Make sure to watch The Buckeye Boyz and The Ohio Podcast 😊

[@Eric-qs3lr]

Ohio State hasn't given up a passing TD since that game. Let that sink in for a moment

[@anthonyaliberti]

I love how all the haters are saying Tennessee isn’t even that good of a team😂 in Tennessee didn’t belong in the playoffs😂 but before the game, Tennessee was a top two team in the SEC best defense in the country😂 no Ohio State is really just that good. Let’s go buckeyes.

[@TristenCoon-bw3sn]

That's exactly what people do everytime we beat a good team, is well they were never that good to begin with but yet whenever we lose to a good team or before we play a good team everybody says Ohio State is overrated and they're getting ready for a beat down. It's just whatever fits they're narrative.

[@HughMorristheJoker]

My life has been much better once i started expecting humans to be horrible people.

[@stixxinator]

Seems a bit screwed up that either team that wins the Rose bowl will potentially have to play Texas in Texas...talk about a home field advantage..

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Of course they had it set up for TX and GA to get virtual home games.

[@frankmeyers7304]

When are we going to hear more about the NOA up in Michigan?

[@elmerrepeater2781]

Didn't the onside kick bounce off CJ Hicks?

[@BarlowBuck]

for some reason, I was thinking it was Caleb Downs, but the number was 48…

[@r.searcy5627]

It was Hicks

[@LifeConsigliere]

@r.searcy5627 it was Hicks in the #48 because Innis was the KR and he also wears #11, CJs normal number

[@mikegreen3506]

The ball bounced off of Lorenzo Style jr NOT Caleb Down on the Onside kick Kirk Buddy 😢

[@AKA_MR_LANCE]

Any news on the NOA response from TCUN ?

[@HughMorristheJoker]

I call for Judkins to have a big game. He's going to bust a big one on the ducks.

[@BuddyIsreal352]

I don’t think there’s any benefit watching the Boise State game or any game earlier because they are a different team just like Ohio Ohio State is a much different team except we’re playing our best ball right now

[@dougdircksen8318]

Kirk, why would you want to reveal a game plan?

[@HughMorristheJoker]

They aren't

[@BuddyIsreal352]

How can the kicker be 7/8 on field goals and shank 2 vs Michigan? Hes missed 3 straight field goals. Thats concerning

[@scottpoling5521]

He said 7/8 before the Michigan game. I was confused too at first. I had to relisten to that part.

[@animeogtv2114]

Unfortunately Oregon's offense is way better than Tennessee and they have the players on defense to matchup with us. We can't stop them. We need to create turnovers and will Howard will need 275-300 plus yards passing since our RBs cant rush for 100 in big games this year

[@HughMorristheJoker]

RBs ran over 100 vs Or and TN, 2 of the biggest games of the year, probably Penn St too, didn't look it up.

[@jones82176]

The 5-4-1 Ohio state team from 87 was better, you know why ?

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Because ties were awesome!

[@ohiostatecavs2421]

😎😎

[@mylastbesthope]

inside information from the guys who told you Michigan penalties were coming November 23... then December 23... now hope you forgot... 😂

[@garithsmith1798]

Ryan day better have his boys fired up or they will get beat like Michigan game

[@joelbrooks3198]

How could they not be fired up for this?

[@MikeFife-gx5vr]

Did you even watch the Tennessee game???

[@stixxinator]

Woody used to say, nothing cleanses the soul like a azz whoppin and mich definitly got there attn. Playing a team you lost to as well has to be a focal point as well. The Offense played well the first time and I think the D has really evolved. One thing I like as well for the Bucks is I'm sure Oregon watched the mich game and laughed..and to then see what they did vs Tennessee had to be a bit of a shocker for them. I like our chances on a nuetral field, as long as it doesn't come down to a field goal outside of 25 yards..😂

[@anthonyaliberti]

They will be fired up🎉
