January 2, 20179 yr Care to wager? I would wager anything that OSU has no more than 2 losses the whole season including bowl game/ playoff.
January 2, 20179 yr If a new offensive coordinator is brought in and he has any imagination with the offensive play calling, the Buckeyes will go undefeated and from there I will wait to say anything else. It helps that they have a weak non-conference schedule.
January 2, 20179 yr Author It helps that they have a weak non-conference schedule. I will give you its not brutal but it does have to bowl teams on the non-conference portion of the schedule and thank goodness there are no D-1AA teams on it.
January 2, 20179 yr I will give you its not brutal but it does have to bowl teams on the non-conference portion of the schedule and thank goodness there are no D-1AA teams on it. The Clemson game showed me OSU has a long way to go next year to get back in the picture.
January 2, 20179 yr Author The Clemson game showed me OSU has a long way to go next year to get back in the picture. I agree. I.M.O. it all starts with a new OFF CORD.
January 2, 20179 yr I agree. I.M.O. it all starts with a new OFF CORD. I want someone that can develop QB talent.
January 2, 20179 yr Author I want someone that can develop QB talent.100% agree. I also want a OC, who works with the QB strengths and utilizes them to the fullest.
January 2, 20179 yr It helps that they have a weak non-conference schedule.Weak? You serious? They have a top 5 team on there schedule.
January 2, 20179 yr The Clemson game showed me OSU has a long way to go next year to get back in the picture.Offensively they have loads of talent, it's just poorly utilized. The defense were studs even against Clemson. With Greg Schiano at the helm, I have no worries with how the defense will perform next year. The one thing they need and as you touched on it is a guy to develop the QB. To me the guy to he developed is Dywayne Haskins, but maybe even true freshman Tate Martell too. Haskins is a more athletic Cardale Jones, and Martell is from the mold of a Russell Wilson, smaller guy but big arm and great athlete. Whether it's transfer or trying to find his way on an NFL team, or being a GA somewhere, I don't see JTB as the QB of the Buckeyes next year.
January 2, 20179 yr Weak? You serious? They have a top 5 team on there schedule. Other than the Sooners what do you see?
January 2, 20179 yr Other than the Sooners what do you see? What do you define hard? Just about everyone plays one P5 opponent and 2 non P5 opponents. It's in the upper tier of non conference schedules due to OU.
January 2, 20179 yr Other than the Sooners what do you see? Nobody plays anybody out of conference. Penn St, Wisky and Michigan could all be top 10 outside of Oklahoma.
January 2, 20179 yr Other than the Sooners what do you see? If you compare OSU schedule to Bama and Clemson. Bama is very comparable to OSU Top 5 opponent (FSU) 2 non P5 (Fresno State and Colorado State) 1 FCS school (Mercer) Clemson Top 20 opponent (Auburn) 1 non P5 (Kent State) 1 FCS (Citadel) 1 P5 (South Carolina) but this might as well be a conference game since they play them every year. Are Bama and Clemson helped by their "weak" non conference schedules? Because they both have equally "weak" or weaker non conference schedules than OSU does.
January 2, 20179 yr Nobody plays anybody out of conference. Penn St, Wisky and Michigan could all be top 10 outside of Oklahoma. Exactly. As far as non conference schedules go, OSU's is pretty good. This years turned out to be great with Oklahoma and a Tulsa team that was borderline top 25 at the end of the year.
January 2, 20179 yr Nobody plays anybody out of conference. Penn St, Wisky and Michigan could all be top 10 outside of Oklahoma.Im still not sure about PSU though. Their coach is still James Franklin.
