I love the consistency of this board.
Read what the Ohio State experts are saying about his termination. There were no issues with the performance of their OLine, the issue came down to his recruiting effort and not doing what Ryan Day wanted. That is accountability 101.
Hell yeah! We need to learn how to hold on every play and get penalized once a year!
OSU's O-line was really poor in run blocking. They had 4 OTs starting on the line to get their most talented guys out there. They pass protected very well, but terrible in run blocking. I seem to recall their line was a mess a few years ago, too, but otherwise that unit has been really solid.
OSU averaged 180 rushing yards per game and ranked 44th in this statistic. Last year, they averaged 257 ypg. PSU averaged 110 this year (113th) and 174 last year. I think we would be happy if we were running the ball like OSU.
OL need to wear red gloves vs. OSU, Orange vs. IL, etc. I've come to the conclusion we are doomed re: holding at all road games or at home games vs teams with blue in their color scheme.
They also have the $. Likely specific donors are footing whatever $ is needed for staffing upgrades. Do not think we have donors telling Sandy and CJF to spend whatever it takes to hire the very best, and that they got the check.
Which is why Franklin has fired several coaches, including Herb Hand and the OC from Minnesota whose name presently escapes me after one season right?
If OSU is allowed to hold on every play, why wasn't their run game better than it was? The poor run blocking was probably a factor in the dismissal of the coach.
Hope you don’t expect consistency across dozens of posters on a board, many of whom are 🤡
Absolutely. Don't waste a second and zero excuse if not considering at the minimum
LMAO. One of the most moronic posts of the century. His worst o line is 20 times better than anything Franklin put on the field in 9 years.
The guy who did just about the same thing that the new guy did: Confused qb who can't get the right play on time, zero running game, and no time to throw.
Try better at reading my post, my man.
Ok, fair enough. I stand corrected but I will add that any year ohio state doesn't make the playoff they fire half their staff.
I have mixed feelings about this level of "win at all costs". But look at how ruthless Saban is. Clearly it works. He doesn't tolerate any kind of underperformance.
They are the shadiest ****ers. They always manage to figure out AFTER signing day that their OL coach needs to move on.
Probably because your team passed the ball so well! Not being a jerk...but any team that has the depth of record setting receivers didn't need to run any better...except in Ann Arbor.
Agreed. That has been the $64m question since Joe was coaching when cable TV and ESPN came out. Before then, college football was regional. Now it is national in terms of exposure as well as recruiting.
But the run blocking despite the decent average was the worst in the games that it needed to be best, Oregon, scUM and the PSU game.
Don't forget, Utah was starting a guy that was a running back at the start of the season. Due to injuries, Utah had an "open tryout" at CB. tOSU, smartly, saw that and exploited it. Utah adjusted to give the poor kid help but that left a hole at Safety so tOSU started exploiting that.
More like a miserable troll or the most miserable PSU fan there is. Either way, pretty pathetic.
Pointing out your constant and asinine venom directed at Franklin doesn’t make me a worshipper but rather someone with some objectivity. But you sure as hell are a clueless hater. Must be terrible going through life so miserable.
