We're not playing in the same league as the top. The difference between Ohio State's athletic department budget in 2023/2024 and ours? $208 million dollars. They spent 2.7X what we did. Texas was only behind Ohio State by $5 million. This isn't just a conference affiliation thing. Add the...

Our running QBs always get hurt. Always. It's basically a given. What's insane about Leonard is that he hasn't missed a game. Neither has Howard, but Leonard has nearly twice as many carries as he does.

Incredible individual effort by Leonard. I'm not sure he can keep carrying it 9 times each drive, though.

Yeah, honestly, Lamar's pass was where it needed to be to get Andrews' to stop his momentum from carrying him out-of-bounds.

Regular season winner is the conference champion. 2nd and 3rd finishers play in the Conference Consolation Game. It's stupid. So is the way we determine the playoff field. You could have the best ideas to try to mitigate the symptoms, but it won't solve the real problem- the stupidity of the...

Okay, you may know how the system works, it’s still not a good form of evidence to support your argument. However, you also missed my point. The NFL doesn’t have the hand wringing for the reasons outlined. College football always will so long as it continues to work the way it does. And it...

Apples and oranges. The NFL has a very specific, methodical way of finding playoff participants. Outside of the AQ, it’s the exact opposite for college football. So long as the majority of the field is picked arbitrarily by a committee, using ever shifting goal posts, there’s going g to be hand...

Fair point. I just assumed that we’d be better on the o-line just by getting rid of Dickey. Hopefully we see improvement across the line with a new OC and some new o-line coaches.

The defense will be okay. Not great, but better than this year. The offense concerns me, but not because of Meacham, or even the QB position. I am very concerned about the RB spot. Trent Howland will be our most experienced back, and he has 124 career carries. Following him will be Sesi...

You're operating under the assumption that playing QB at Ohio State is the same as playing QB at Kansas State. They're not the same. Howard has vastly greater resources to help him play the position well than he had at KSU. Thinking that had they kept Howard and played him over Johnson...

If you're asking me if Howard or Johnson is the better QB currently, the answer is obviously Howard. That said, it should be equally obvious to everyone that Johnson has the highest ceiling. He just needs to be developed, as most young QBs do. Whether or not Kleiman has the coaching staff to do...

Leonard vs. Howard. I don't think I can remember a title game that featured a worse set of QBs.

Honestly, he was not good. I'm not surprised. Even for depth, if we needed him out there again next year, I would prefer a younger guy with more potential get the snaps and experience.
