[@duanecarter7954]

TOSU's offense these past two games look more like a Ryan Day offense than a Chip Kelly offense. I'm know expert but Sarkisian's and Day's offenses almost appear mirror images of each other. At any rate I think they are two of the top offensive minds in college foitball.

[@chrisNkyla1]

These past two games didn't look like Ryan Day or Chip Kelly who both run mostly zone scheme. This looked a lot more like Mike Norvell's offense when he was at Florida State. Guess who was a staffer on that team? Carlos Locklyn, the Buckeyes running backs coach. Coincidence? They ran about 50% gap scheme counter against Oregon. Even both of Smith's touchdowns came against counter play action. Counter is a much easier scheme to block with a make shift o-line. For perspective, before the playoffs, Ohio State ran about 10% counter. Defensively, they lined up Hancock, the slot corner, at free safety and stuck Downs right in the middle about 10 to 12 yards off the ball to play backyard football. It allowed him to come down hill in run support unblocked, and diagnose and latch on to short routes across the middle. They've made brilliant changes on both sides of the ball.

I’m not gonna predict a win for us, but hoping this team can come out blazing on O again. Will Howard is such an underrated player. I think it’s borderline disrespectful that so many analysts and talking heads are asking if he can be good enough in this game. He’s been a top 3-5 QB in all of college football the entire season and had one bad game, which was largely due to play calling on 1st and 2nd down. That being said, it’s pretty disrespectful for some of these same people to dismiss Texas. They’re a legit team with real NFL talent. Their talent index isn’t far behind us.

its crazy how the sports media has carried the water for Texas all year lmfao

[@aecet9652]

Is the fake UT alum crying about being spanked? Yeah I ageee Texas does not look that great against Ohio state , has had some questionable performances, and lucked out with scheduling with this year. But do you really think if OU joined the sec this year and had the same results Texas has had that the media wouldn’t be all over them either? It’s not about the brand recognition it’s about the results produced on the field and whether you come out with W or L. Texas has happened to do that in their first year . Waiting for Tennessee to do it consistently and for A&M and OU to do it at all everyone in the SEC but bama and Georgia deserve to eat and see success. Til those are reality enjoy your salty tears wins count far more than brands and any salty fan knows that . Why would we ever know about the “brand” of Indiana or SMU football this year if that was not the case? Best of luck next season put the dagger in bama and Georgia for us please 🙏

texas is about to spank yall lol

Ohio state struggled against Nebraska, Penn state, and Michigan. Also it’s Michigan is the best defense yall played all season

[@bkirk0510]

@@TheMidnightHighway Texas struggled against Vanderbilt, ASU, and lost to UGA, twice. Best regular season win was the 9th place SEC team. Penn State is a playoff team so beating them in the regular season by a TD isn't some type of knock against OSU like you think it is. Texas defense has played like ass in the playoffs. 55 points and 900+ yards to Clemson and ASU and more passing yards allowed in those two games than OSU allowed in total yards against TN and Oregon combined.

Ohio state spent 20 million dollars on their team the most out of all teams. Of course the went through teams that spent less money.

[@duanecarter7954]

Do you actually believe if you spend the most money that insures you the best team? By the way Oregon spent 23 million.

[@charleswebb5472]

Texas, ND and Oregon spent more than Ohio State.

[@Buckstone44]

Hey bud, 90% of Ohio state starters are not from the portal, all returners from OHIO STATE. Grab the popcorn, buckeyes -12.5!

Every team is Top 10 in offense except texas. Whoch i found weird. And notre dame at least can beat Georgia which still is weird.. i think ohio state 49- 24

[@ju17e]

when you look at these teams Texas hasn’t looked great at any point besides when they played Michigan this year, Texas has to be able to run the football and they have to win the turnover battle. with that being said Ohio State by either 14 or 21ish they go out there and play their game no team will beat them.

R.I.P. Longhorns 😢 Unless they let Arch Manning be a significant part of the offense

[@Foggydidwhat]

I am not a diehard Texas fan, but I have watched every Texas game this season. I genuinely want to know why you think putting Arch Manning in the game benefits Texas if Ewers is still available. Arch has been terrible as a passer and runner against any quality opponent he played.

[@bri-manhunter2654]

@@Foggydidwhat. Agreed.

[@fpsdoug7081]

@@Foggydidwhat from what I have seen, he has a higher upside imo. I get it that his only significant playing time is against weak opponents, but that's on Sark for not utilizing him more. Ewers stats may be better but he's been an average QB in every game I have watched

[@Foggydidwhat]

@@fpsdoug7081 I hear you. Ewers is a veteran that is going to be a field general and has big game experience since this is the second consecutive season he led Texas to the playoff (so he is the safe, experienced QB1). Arch Manning is the quarterback that is a media darling because of his name. Other than specific third and short read option packages for arch since he is more mobile, would you actually want him to be QB1 for multiple consecutive drives in a close game if Ewers is healthy and good to go?

[@aecet9652]

Great takes foggy . A more diehard Texas fan I ageee with you . Sad to say but it’s the name it his name was not manning there would not be a push for it at all
