Thanks Taft but the website is called eleven warriors which is just too much war imagery for my taste.

The Buckeyes are pretty close to Clemson
Should have could have won last year
But Dabo outcoached Day -
Of course they matter. Think about any major program making any kind of run, and the correlation of having a lot of players excel in the NFL during and after that run is pretty strong.
Of course, inadequate coaching can and often does take that talent and squander it, or underachieve with it.
But even with great coaching, you can only get so far with scheme and trickeration. Eventually, the cream rises. The Peach Bowl is a good example. I'm not convinced Kirby is a great HC, Cincy came out punching, Georgia was flat as fuck and dead on the sidelines. And then the physical disparities start to assert themselves.
Not always. But 9 / 10ths of the tim. -
Cincy had a chance and gambled with that pass play on 3rd and 2. Hit that and you’re a hero. Miss and give it back to Georgia without bleeding the clock.creepycoug said:Of course they matter.

Gaining any yardage beyond the first down was irrelevant. Get the first down and you win the game. One of the most fucktarded play calls I've seen in a while, compounded by neutering your effective pass rush on the ensuing drive. Shameful finish.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Clemson needs to level up to tOSURaceBannon said:The Buckeyes are pretty close to Clemson

It looked like Night and Day out there from last year. If Ryan Day can coach welcome to the next dynasty
I like the Bucks over Bama -
You like to refer to Cincinnati as Cincy. It's what you like to do.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Thought I read yesterday Buckeyes had 15 more 4 starts and 5 more 5 stars than Clemson 1-85.RaceBannon said:

Amazingly on some level it looked like that last night.

Little known fact, a lot of Buckeye fans were sick of Urban because he played a lot of poor passing QBs. There was considerable optimism when Day was hired because he would run better passing concepts and not just play Terrell Pryor and Braxton Miller types.RaceBannon said:
