Ohio State is stacked on both sides of the ball next year.

And the players we do lose, we have guys that have played this year that are have shown they can play.

True Freshman Raekwon McMillan will be the starting MLB next year and he got significant time last night.

The only true loss is Bennett at DT and Doran Grant at CB.

We get back our entire offensive line. It's gonna be a fun off-season, and a fun 2015 for Ohio State.

I mean, probably not. I was actually impressed with Oregon walking out of the stadium in 2011. We knew we were really good, and it was a game in the 3rd quarter. That team was the best Oregon team, IMO. Running game, overall, seemed better. With James and whoever the backup was who was suspended for our game with y'all.


Oregon was a shell of itself in that game. I promise you. Gildon started at CB and got passed up by Ifo, a true frosh. Hoffman was a walk on WR that started the game and didn't finish the year. Golpashin was a walk on guard that didn't finish the year.

We had Stuckey, a redshirt senior, at Mike that had never broken the two deep. Malone was our third ILB and redshirt frosh at 212 pounds. We were thin and hadn't figured out our lineup.

It lowest point of the Oregon era. That team got better and better throughout the year. Kiko came back from suspension. The frosh cbs in Hill, Ifo, and Mitchell got better. Our DL got healthy.

Asper moved inside to guard and gave us beef there.

I know Oregon inside and out. It's not to take anything away from LSU.

Oregon is soft as my dog's diarrhea. What a joke.

Oregon is soft and will never win a NC. The school where I used to be the 8th grade HC at is shipping one (Taj Griffin)out west to the Ducks this year. I thought he would be perfect for your system but now I don't see him playing much because how y'all throw the ball so much to your backs. Taj has the most brick like hands I have seen for a skill guy in years.....maybe ever. Trying to think where he might fit in makes me think he will only have a shot at KO returns.

They were getting countered all night long. They weren't ready for it. Or they couldn't physically defend it.

Or probably both.

This is kinda surprising to me this year though. For the first time in their run of success, the RBs they use are power backs. I didn't notice them using any scat backs this time. You would think that they would be better prepared for a power run game in practice.


I am telling you that Zeke is a freak. There is no other way to put it. Buckner doesn't ever carry an RB. Elliot was freakish.

UCLA, Michigan State and Florida State will end the year in the top 10.

Oregon had the greatest luck of getting balls I've ever seen in that game. Don't forget the RB who fumbled on the first Drive and it bounced right back into his hands as well


Opposing teams would call that skill. I know my LSU brethren would say it.

You forgot Cliff Harris being suspended. RS CB Mitchell took his spot.

Same ole story with Oregon. They look great until they come up against a defense that stuffs the point of attack and disrupts the whole scheme.

Oregon looked much more capable than they did against Auburn and LSU. tOSU was just a complete team.
