Ohio State's spring game is this Saturday also. It's fun to watch as the young playmakers tend to get hyped up and make names for themselves heading into the summer.

I heard $5 spring game tickets are selling for $100.

Predictions for the spring game? I think Williams and Henderson rise to the top along with McCord. Should be interesting— especially with fans there. Can’t wait!

Lots of RBs in the RB room this year - and yet I still think we’ll see Henderson on the field. Clarett and Dobbins are the only ones that I remember who got regular carries as true freshmen. Expectations are high and I’m glad to see he lost his black stripe early.

I'm surprised (and sort of proud and impressed) that nobody has brought this up, but... Never Forget

Allen Mitch Fromm Best QB depth chart in the league? Also, Mitch will likely be a good personality/culture fit -- I've always heard that he's hilarious and his teammates love him here in Chicago.

go bucks

What's the word in Cbus about Al Washington and the Tenn. DC offer?

OLAVE!!!

Justin Fields represented Ohio State extremely well during his time in Columbus. I’ll always be a fan.

I did not expect to spend part of my day watching old Dead Schembechlers videos, but here we are.

Why hasn’t QB1 declared? He’s not thinking it over, is he??

ACTUAL-ASS VICTORY

Back to work!

Please be true.

Whoever decided to go with the 1920's style 4-4 defense against Alabama in the national championship game, and then stick with that defense until the very end even though it was obvious after 5 minutes that it wasn't working, is who needs to go in my view. Mattison, Coombs, whoever. Pantoni's former assistant recently separating with Purdue and potentially returning to OSU is the type of info that keeps me coming back to this thread - lol. Great stuff!

Smith reminds me of a young Randy Moss. Fast, slim, goes up and catches anything near him.

Take Mattison for all I care. Coombs too (maybe but not really). Other than LJ I’m not happy with the senior leadership on defense. Find more young guys like Washington and let them cook. Pantoni... that hurts. Mick... hallelujah.

Monday was the only Tide game I really watched this season. OSU’s defense gave Jones the underneath passes and he took them all night. There were some nice throws and catches - and not just to Smith. I’m not sure how he would do against different defensive looks. He showed good heart after the leg got banged up. It’s so tough to tell how these kids (if you can call Jones a kid) are going to do in the league.

Great news for the defense. Ruckert betting on himself to break out next year could be epic. Good stuff — hopefully Stroud is a baller.

To my untrained eye his accuracy was better this year than it was in 2019.

Fair enough, and the short season this year makes that question even harder to answer. One other example of toughness was during the Michigan game last year; he aggravated a leg injury, left the game for a very short while (maybe just a play), came back in and immediately threw a nice TD ball.

You don’t think he showed incredible toughness against Clemson?

I’d love to see Ruckert back for his senior year. I can’t help but think OSU didn’t make the most of his talents (a longstanding issue with tight ends that was supposed to change with Ruck) even with the iconic one handed catches against Wisconsin and others. Agree with all of this. Seems to me that Fields is every bit the QB that Deshaun Watson is.

Even with poor first half stats last night, Fields looks solid to me and more NFL ready than Haskins did when he left.
