Ohio State Week

[penguinpower]

This is an OSU-YSU thread. Plenty of other places to put threads on other things. There is even a board for it.

The other boards are irrelevant and get no traffic i.e. eyeballs

Tyshon King has another year of eligibility after this year... I am thinking he comes back to play next year, but time will tell.

Great to Know. I thought he was one-and-done

Here are some bits of info from various sources on the internet.

OSU played their starting offensive line for the entire game.

OSU played two fewer players against us than they did against Indiana.

Check out these scores from recent OSU games against other Ohio schools:
2022 77-7 v. Toledo
2021 59-7 v. Akron
2019 42-0 v. Cincinnati
2019 76-5 v. Miami
2018 77-10 v. Bowling Green
2014 66-0 v. Kent State

Alot of what is being posted is bitter/sweet.

While we may feel really good about how we played and how "close" the final score was compared to other recent Ohio schools contests, the flip side is that all those things that make us feel good are great reasons for osu to not want to play us, a lowly FCS school, again.

Hard enough to get a game with them anyway but the money was nice.

Sorry but we know nothing about the Penguins after 2 games.  The team played down to a non-scholarship Valpo for 2 quarters then played a great 3rd quarter.  The moral victory of only losing to OSU by just 4 touchdowns tells us nothing.  OSU appears to have some question marks after 2 weeks as well.  If we're 3-1 then we know we've turned the corner.

Ohio State played YSU because the game against Washington had to be canceled! 

[goodnews]

OSU and San Jose State mutually agreed to cancel their 2023 game NOT Washington.

While Ohio State has issues on the OL due to so many draft picks, their Defense returned the most people in the B1G.  The same defense that was good enough to make it to the FBS semifinal.

They showed a lot, especially their ability to run between the tackles late in the game.

We should blow out Booby Morris

We all know Heacock hated these games.

Yes our talent is much better and we will know how much better when we open league play against Nortbern Iowa.

Doesn't matter, but an article on the 24-7 website indicated it Washington!  The fact is, we played and got a nice payday and kept the money in state!

The talent level at Ohio State has been at a whole different level since Meyer came there.  Tressel was a developmental coach that inherited Cooper's elite athletes and won the NC with them.   Ohio State was one of the top teams back then, but there some really big differences in the overall talent leve/projected talent level.l

Why so much negativity? We played solid. OSU is a top 5 program year in and year out and we competed. As the post indicated above, be lucky it wasn't like any of the scores vs other Ohio teams! We got some exposure and got experience and got paid! But I agree, I think the Northern Iowa game might define how our season goes!

Go guins!!

[YsuPride]

If we cannot beat UNI then call it the season.   UNI stinks.  Got burned by Weber state at home to boot.  They are 0-2 with both losses by big numbers .   UNI is down and the coach up there is on the hot seat.  We are up and should compete with all teams remaining on our schedule as long as we don't have any injuries.

FBS is a whole new ball game now.  Things arent as easy for Alabama now that everyone can cheat and pay its players.  Alabama wasn't alone but the playing field is whole lot more level because of NLI.  I know we got a D2 RB in the portal but with a strong returning OL and the success of Jaleel we should've gone hard after a Power 5 guy in my opinion.
