Not saying it beats him but it’s better than shooting underneath him with volume like DT did. Also, his neck might not be the same after his injury. Snyder is not an underhook wrestler either. He is a volume attacker for the most part. AB’s underhook is his main weapon. Big difference I think

DTs first shot was good but he got out scrambled, to an extent, and ended in neutral

Snyder already tried that one. 2021 Worlds (after trying low single at the Olympics)

Sad just went Greco stance and underhook pass-by. The dude has so many weapons. And he got tired once. The first time they wrestled. And NEVER again.

Best not to go down the rabbit hole that is Lando - he will always take the opposite side just to continue some meaningless argument for 50 pages of dumb.

People really complain when the only explanation is that it appears deliberate. Over and over and over.

On the other hand, the Buckeyes have a real problem at left tackle. The starter is out for the year with a knee. The backup got hurt against Nebraska and is supposedly not playing Saturday. OSU probably shuffles their line. That often does not work well.

Yeah it does sound like they need to move guys around, but I'm guessing that OSU's problem at LT is no worse than our problem at RT. Rucci has played OK but there are times when he gets beat off the edge way too easily, and that has been against lesser athletes than OSU has. If Donkoh can't go and Drew is a little hobbled that could be a bad combination.

Underhook heavy approach. Hard hand fighting and try to wear him out. Lots of snaps as well. Work that neck of Sad and see if can hold up. No committed attacks where you end up under him in the first period. Make him continuously clear ties especially hooks. In the second try snatch singles or attacking with angles. Still might not be enough but that’s the game plan I think gives the best shot and it’s one AB could definitely execute

Drew is elite when his footwork is good but those videos don't inspire confidence. He's clearly not close to 100% and I don't think he should be playing until he is. With that being said, I think that they'll start him. Hopefully the risk pays off and he doesn't get beat up too badly. Maybe the adrenaline will keep him comfortable enough to be effective.

He takes a couple baby steps back, doesn’t even go four yards. And straight back with absolutely zero lateral movement to strain that knee. And doesn’t throw off if it.

He is either really good at faking it to fool that team west of us or no way he plays.

Their oline might not be as great as it usually is but they've given up the same number of sacks that our oline has over the entire year. Also, their defense has more sacks than ours. I know those aren't the only metrics but I just don't see the advantage on either of the lines that other people are seeing. Especially since we might be playing a QB who won't be very mobile in the pocket.

He got lit up against Nebraska and that was a big reason the game was so close. OSU probably shuffles their line. That often does not work well.

Gee, somehow the B1G's Replay Review inexplicably blew the call as well - what's your explanation for this supposed "safeguard" against such blown calls failing as well??? The b1g apology to UNL states that both the field Official and Replay Officials as both failing (and cited the centralized Replay Review failure as the bigger one) - amusingly, they provide no explanation for how Replay Review inexplicably failed - were they simply not watching (contrary to their all "plays are reviewed" mantra)? There really is few explanations as to how that bullshit cannot be identified by someone watching the live feed and replay in the Centralized Review Center.

Watch, OSU's Oline will struggle against Penn States Dline. OSU's oline is by far its weakest unit. That could be the difference.

Anthony will be the guest speaker at a conference I'll be attending this March. This might be the one I've looked forward to the most. Hoping he sticks around and does some socializing after.

I got the chance to say hello to him after the Penn State/ASU dual and told him I appreciated his broadcasting skills. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. His cousin was on my squad when I was with SDPD.

Do people think this is some kind of theatrical display? There is no way in hell that he would be doing these sorts of things if it were serious. Amazing that a group of people can watch the same video and draw such different conclusions?

No I think Drew wants to play, Franklin wants Drew to play, AK wants Drew to play and we're doing everything humanly possibly that make that want a reality.

I don't like the body language even in the dive clip but, to your point, we're speculating on a few seconds (maybe minutes) of video.

I'm arguably Drew's biggest defender here. He's elite. He's special. We need him to win a title. We just don't have to beat Ohio State to win that title and I wouldn't play him unless he's damn near close to 100% for his own good as well as the best interest of the team.

Seeing Texas rushing Ewers (or maybe Ewers rushing himself because of the success of Arch) makes me feel stronger about this. I think that hurt Texas the past two games.

Last year, I play him but with a 12 team playoff you have to be strategic. What's best for everyone?

If he's ready great but don't rush him.

Maybe the Ohio State fans are getting used to it. They lost 3 straight to UM and Day wasn't fired. They haven't been in the championship game since 2020. Day has been incredibly successful recruiting and cranking out NFL stars but they have lost a lot of big games. Michigan's no threat to him this year. If Ohio State beats PSU, I guess they get another shot at Oregon in the B1G championship game, and then they could play a third game in the playoff I think.

I think if they lose Saturday against Penn State..there will be many many questions surrounding Day...too much hyope and $$$ put into the Ohio state program...with two losses..I think OSU still gets in but will not have any HOME games ie Playoffs.. penn State on the other hand..IF we lose..can't have another loss for rst of season..our SOS is not strong enough IMO...

Not to pick a side in this, but, in other threads people are all saying (guys dropping weight against guys going up a weight) it favors the guy going up, because they will have full tanks and the ones dropping will have no energy. I know one is a tournament, and the other is a season. That did not seem to be a factor in this match.
