Well done Coach Taylor! Always better to go out with a win.

Nevertheless it restarts the Young Guns pipeline and starts the Bishop McCort pipeline - leading to Bassett, Forrest, Miller and Hutcherson commitments

At least according to the sages on GIA

A little early for hutcherson don't ya think? Saw him a True Power a couple weeks ago, and wasn't overly impressed. Is he good for a Freshman upper weight, yes, but someone like Dayton Pitzer was better at that age IMO.

Many for the second time, making them elite.

THE bigger question is how many AA!

Howard just isn't really a running QB
He had 100 yards against OK State last year but that was largely due to a 70 yard run
He's a willing runner but if they're designing 15-20 runs for him they have no chance

Philly is the worst, AND PROUD of it.

LOL BRONZE FOR THE OLD MAN,NOT TO BAD!

So you’re saying the refs may have unintentionally made it MORE DIFFICULT, but they don’t affect the outcome of a game. Yep you convinced me the refs never affect the outcome of a game. 🤪

Countless factors make the game more difficult--some controlled, some outside your control
Teams only control what they can do--which is make that call or non-call irrelevant
Again, refs have never determined the outcome of a game--you can cry about that reality all you want--I know many here like excuses

Ono made everyone look bad. It felt like a varsity versus JV match in the finals. Ono was impressive! He's going to be a nice addition for the lighter guys, especially Davis & Lilledahl, to train with while he's in PA.

he didn't - really tough dec for him, it seemed. I am betting he calls out his former corner men in his post interviews... I also don't understand how his opponent got the first passivity call (only calling that out for what seems to be a lack of understanding or inconsistencies - and not referring to anything else except the first 90 seconds)

No, I thought for sure he was going too.

I did too. He bent down twice like he was going to and then just readjusted his sock both times

That’s the most emotion I’ve seen out of DT after a win. I didn’t realize that Ghasempour is still only 26. Much younger than I thought. Wonderful way to cap off a truly extraordinary career. I wish him no luck going forward however except when OSU wrestles Iowa😂

No, I thought for sure he was going too. Change of heart, maybe he's not done. Obviously he can still compete at a VERY high level.

Gutty performance. Looked like he considered taking his shoes off two different times.

Fault? Not sure about fault but they could have stopped them
Why are you saying "decide"? That indicates it was intentional--that's the stuff that has to stop
But you answered the questions correctly. "Sure"--they could have stopped them. In life, you have to overcome things and often times that's things beyond your control
Again, the refs have never determined the outcome of a game. They may have UNINTENTIONALLY made it more difficult but they've never determined who won

I feel so bad for the Yankees and their fans. I especially feel bad for Cole. Imagine not covering first base and costing your team the World Series. Such a shame. I guess he could always buy a World Series ring at a memorabilia auction.

I think you guys get us this year, this Ohio State team is just missing the "it" factor. The LT is a big problem, but expect them to bump our LG to LT and the backup LG played the first few games of the season. Out biggest weakness on defense is out two ends are underachieving for sure and our LBs are average at best, hence why you see a rotation there. Plus, the lack of pressure has exposed our CBs a bit. Our defensive strength is by far our DTs
