Ducks came to play. Ohio St's D looks like shit

Kerry Coombs needs to be fired today.  He's terrible and has been for two years.  These are all 4 and 5 stars and suddenly we're Oklahoma 

I just can't believe they can't stop the run. They were gashed last week by Ibrahim and again today. Granted, both pretty good backs but still. 

Embarrassing.  We should never give up 30 plus.

The guy is so bad.  I didn't watch any of the game and am happy about that.  

Some surprising results this week!

Good first week.  (First real week)
As much as I love to hate on Notre Dame, Brian Kelly trying to quote John McKay is awesome on a few levels.

No, it’s not.

You’re gonna snag Franklin after this season, I bet.

Congrats Brett! I'm sad about it, but that's to be expected. Who do you think SC will hire?

How bout them Dawgs!!  Got back from Charlotte yesterday afternoon.  Great game and atmosphere.  Looking forward to returning to Athens this weekend. 

Side note, I left a Pearl Jam sticker on my seat (as I always do in stadiums/sports venues that I visit). 

Great defense, hard to get a read on the O this early in the year.  Not scoring an offensive TD can be concerning, unless Clemson is literally an all timer of a D.  

Unless there are only three teams with 1 or 0 losses, I don't know how Clemson makes the playoffs.  Their schedule is just awful the rest of the way. 

Ya the ACC took a beating this weekend.  I don't see Clemson getting in at all even if they win out.  I think the Dawgs will be fine offensively going forward.  They had their top 2 TE's out and their top 3 WRs out.  Wish they'd run the ball some more.  

I don’t think Clemson is getting in either. Clemson’s offense isn’t looking good at all this year. Even after this week’s blowout, their QB (I can’t spell or pronounce his name) still looked like a struggle and if it was against a rated team it would have been a different story.

I think they honestly hope that Donte Williams (CBs coach, lead recruiter, interim head coach) will grab the job and make it his.

I think that the dude from Cincinnati is a natural match with our AD - his former AD.

We will see.  Always interesting.

You mean Luke Fickell?  He had a chance to take the Ohio State job and he wasn’t up to it.  Now that was ten years ago and I’m sure he’s grown.  Btw, he lined up next to Vrabel on the D line for Ohio State.  They were tough together

Saturday can't get here soon enough. Go Dawgs!  Look for me on tv this weekend.  I'll be wearing red.

he was only a place holder for osu. by design. during a penalty season no less.

frankly I thought they did him a bit dirty.

"Wasn't up to it" = they hired Urban Meyer instead.

Right, but they still went 6-7 with a team that was undefeated the next year, and was 12-1 the year before.  I'm not saying he should have been Urban level, but being below .500 was not good.

Braxton, Carlos Hyde, Stoneburner, Posey, Devin Smith, John Simon, C Grant, Ryan Shazier, Doran Grant.. good players.  Players that were the core the next year.  There's no way Tressel goes 6-7 with that team.

Braxton(Fr), Carlos Hyde(So), Stoneburner(Sr), Posey(Sr), Devin Smith(Fr), John Simon(Jr), C Grant(Fr), Ryan Shazier(Fr), Doran Grant(Fr).. good players.  Players that were the core the next year.  There's no way Tressel goes 6-7 with that team.  

forgive the edit to your post but this is an important consideration. 5 of your listed players were Freshman that year......

also important to note Tressel resigned May 30 of that year, giving Fickell a couple months to prepare as HC.... Interim HC.

I don't buy that Tress would be 6-7

Please take it easy on us! Last I saw it was a 31.5 spread and I think you guys cover.

Thanks for beating Clemson though!
