Several were high, several were into triple coverage. Again, Arch was better than I thought he would be. I see the potential now. Just hopefully he hasn’t learned from those mistakes yet, because if he reaches his potential against Ohio State, Ohio State probably isn’t winning. Also, you’re 100% right abour Sayin. He is not even close to a finished product. He is going to make mistakes against Texas, just hopefully they aren’t too costly.

28-14. That’s not soft?

4 days! 4 days! 4 days!

Boys and girls, it is going to be ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL on Saturday. High of 70, slight breeze, no rain and plenty of sunshine.

Great quote

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. I watched every one of Arch Manning’s throws from last year. He’s better than I thought. However, it seemed like anytime he faced pressure he just threw the ball into double or triple coverage or rushed a short pass that was off the mark. That’ll come with experience so hopefully he hasn’t learned to deal with pocket pressure in the off season or it could be a long day for Ohio State.

We’ll find out how soft they are in 4 days How soft do you have to be to have first and goal at the 1 and the other team gets 7 out of it?

Doesn’t matter. Ohio State 31-17

lol

Thanks Jon! My arrogance came out a few times but I was able to suppress it pretty quickly haha. Good luck to your Longhorns, and I think we can both agree, we don’t care how it looks, just score one more point than the opposing team.

Hartline wanted McCutcheon & Lockett bad. Hopefully those missed don’t bite Ohio State on 08/30

What’s the latest regard Mosley, Goosby, and Chatman? I haven’t anything at all on Mosley & Chatman, but the latest I’ve heard on Goosby is that he is practicing but in a limited fashion. It doesn’t seem like anybody is too concerned about him being out for Saturday’s game.

Yeah for sure, same with Day. If you want, I would look at ElevenWarriors.com on Saturday at 11am EST. They will post the availability report at that time. I was more talking about rumors of injuries.

Any injury updates? From Ohio State’s end there are none that we are aware of

I was curious If Ohio State & Texas were mirror images of each other on the field so I did a deep dive on the recruiting rankings of all of the contributors on both sides of the ball to see how they match up. I have no idea at this moment what the data is going to show, but let's take a look.

Per Grok, only 3 of those guys started against USC in the 05-06 Rose Bowl. Grok‘s been wrong before. Either way, a massive fact missing from your comparison is that Texas is not returning the stars that 06 Ohio State was. If this was Arch’s second season as QB1, I would be much more concerned.

The ‘06 Texas team returned all five starters from their ‘05 national championship team? That’s wild.

I can’t comment on the validity of that chart, but we our confident in Ohio State’s IOL because they just proved they could win a national championship. As for the tackles, it’s strictly based off of reporting on how they’ve performed in fall camp.

I already contacted hospital staff and they assured me all TV’s will be on the Ohio State game.

Obviously he has to go out and earn it on the field, but a lot of people in the program believe he is JK Dobbins 2.0.

As an Ohio State fan there are only two things that concern me, in terms of if the offense will be among the elite again - 1. Julian Sayin 2. Brian Hartline calling plays Both aren’t liabilities, just question marks. I have no concerns in regards to the WR, TE, OL, or RB rooms.

For anyone who is curious, this is what Eleven Warriors is projecting to be Ohio State‘S depth chart on 8/30.

Expected to be 100% and not be on a snap count?

Is CJ Baxter for sure playing next weekend?

Ohio State was pretty desperate for DT depth as well. I know a lot of Ohio State fans results to the same old lazy refrain “Texas dropped a bag” but I hate that response. Money is certainly at play in every recruit and transfer for every program nowadays, it is never only about money. But you’re probably right, Ohio State’s starting DT’s were pretty much set in stone for this season, he probably saw more of a chance competing with all new DT’s coming in together rather than guys that have been ahead of him on the roster for a couple years.
