vs much better competition too

Even you didn't expect this from burrow, did you?

Be honest, to this level?

Jugs machine bro

You forgot:

Burrow (LSU) 9-0

Haskins (Ohio State) 8-1

With the "1" being a 29-point loss to a Purdue team that finished 6-7 after a 49-point bowl game loss to an Auburn team that burrow beat in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

That Purdue loss falls on the dysfunctional Schiano defense, not on Haskins.

Disagree.

It falls on Day's game plan that was essentially an audition for the Heisman.

Haskins threw the ball 73 times that game. RBs Dobbins and Weber stood around and watched. With Ohio State's RB's, they could have kept Purdue's offense on the bench, and helped a beat up OSU defense fresh.

Purdue was a shite team... 7 losses in 2018

Have you never seen his post? He very much did expect this. I thought he was nuts, but he was spot on.

Jeaux, I've said it all along and will continue to say it... I have and will continue to enjoy eating crow. (Although, I did say that the Brady hire in the spring was the best thing Orgeron has done since he was hired. Just didn't think it would be this huge.)

That said, try not to get sideways in this thread.

holy crap that's insane. IF Burrow threw that many times in a game this year, based on his averages his stat line would be:

58/73 781yds 8TDs 1INT

HAHA

" No way Burrow takes a loss against Purdue"

The defense lost the game, and particularly the defensive coaches. Zach Boren (former OSU FB and LBer-- very intelligent player who seamlessly transitioned from FB to LBer, mid season because of injuries) commented on Lettermen Row that Purdue always knew what defense OSU was playing and that any offense could dismantle a defense if the defense didn't disguise its coverages. Last year's OSU defense was historically awful and the worst in OSU history, and also, the coaching (Schiano, Davis and Grinch) was awful.

With new coaches and new schemes, OSU, with very much the same players, has gone from awful to at least a top 5 defense. OSU very poorly defensed the very quick Rondale Moore (sometimes with a LBer), and he went off causing OSU to have to force passes late in the game.
