    Jay Norvell and Ryan Walters coached together at Oklahomo and Norvell had an offseason to cook up that game plan. My hope is that’s why the D got so worked and RW will make the adjustments. He has lauded the talent depth he has.

    Probably just cope☝️ but who knows.🤷‍♂️

    Norvell is a good coach so it's not just a cope. RW also made adjustments at intermission and the D was better in the 2nd half.

    A cope would would be extrapolating Devin Hyde looking pretty good in limited snaps against CSU to then abusing Ohio State's OTs in 3 1/2 weeks.

    One loss Bammer getting in over Florida State was an injustice and travesty.

    Saturday's gayme doesn't make up for it, but the SEC can't cheat anymore so yes, it might be curtains. It was nothing special before the late 2000s. It was basically Saban and Rural Meyer.

    Have zero expectations against Ohio State. Could try to talk myself into maybe if their QB situation is a meltdown we can make it like the 2007 USC game or 2012 Stanford game or something, but I don't know why they wouldn't just be able to run the ball all they want.

    My cope is that Ohio State might be in for a big surprise at how rough it is to play in a sold out Husky Stadium

    What if half that sell out is Ohio State fans? I guess there have been decent environments with a shit ton of Michigan Oregon and Coug fans in recent years.

    Speaking of 2007, the 2007 game against Ohio State might not be a bad comparison. They were limited at QB - we had a second year QB who could run and it and we kept it a game for a while. Wouldn't be shocked if the offensive plan is the same to tell Demond to just run to the edge if something isn't there quickly.

    1. Williams/Coleman/Boston is a nice three headed monster but I’m not sure what’s there for complimentary pieces. Williams has to stay healthy obviously and Mohammed needs touches. Lines are very suspect.
    2. This is probably Oregon’s most talented team top to bottom in Lanning’s 4 years. Lots of dudes to keep happy with touches/targets.
    3. Coog and Beev are awful
    4. Penn St and tOSU are good but not overwhelming like last year, at least the latter.
    5. SEC is down. Bama looked slow and soft. LSU is meh. Maybe Georgia is waiting in the tall grass as a title contender. I don’t trust Auburn or Ole Miss. I guess we’ll see.
    6. Iowa offense is still Iowa offense and I’m also not in on Illinois.
    7. Utah and BYU might be the class of the Big12 with ASU

    THANK YOU for attending my Ted Talk.
