Don Brown says Tuesday was "Best Practice of the Year"

I know we don't like coach speak very much right now given how much it has let us down much of this year. If it isn't backed up with tangible results the week of the game I agree it should piss us off if anything if it's not translating to Main Street. So just take this with a VERY small grain of salt

I'm fairly certain this is going to happen

the question is, for how long? The offense is the question; if they can stay on the field and generate points I honestly feel the Buckeyes can be in for a long day. If the offense sucks, the long day will be ours.

All I can have faith in is that weird shit happens in this game. Our offense was a disaster in 2013 and the light came on against OSU.



Maybe that will happen again on Saturday.

He'd probably be good at it.

He'd probably be good at it. The dude coached baseball IIRC and was a good coach.

 

Wiki Source

Brown was named the interim head baseball coach at Yale during the 1992 season. Brown led the Bulldogs to a 26-10 record, including a 14-4 mark in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League (EIBL), the EIBL championship and a bid to the NCAA tournament. Competing in the Midwest Regional, Yale lost the opener to Clemson, before taking an elimination game against Nichols State. The Bulldogs were then eliminated by UCLA.

Revenge

Keep in mind that our 3 losses this year, were all to teams that we beat last year.. remember that this is a revenge game for us.. remember how bitterly disappointed Harbaugh was at the end of last years game.. we're at home.. maybe just maybe, this will be our Stanford over USC moment..

Anything is possible

Just not with this offense. Don Browns dudes will keep it from being a total blowout though. Will not be shocked if our defense outscores our offense.

Does anyone know who is running the scout team offense this week? Curious who they have to play as Barrett. Regardless, I do believe Don Brown is going to smother this OSU offense.

I just hope the offense can chew up some clock to limit their opportunities.

Who plays O'Korn in their practices?

The criteria, happy feet, threat to throw an interception on evety play, fumbles the snap a lot and makes bad decisions.  Any candidates?

There is a lot of truth to that old cliche - you play like you practice. 

This tells me they are focused and excited to play this game.  Brady Hoke would say it just to make it sound like things were ok.  When Don Brown says it, I genuinely believe it.

I have no doubt

I'm sure the team is fired about about playing OSU and is focused and motivated.  Unfortunatley, even if the defense plays great and really minimizes OSU's offense, we still have to score some points, be able to pass pro, and not turn the ball over.  That's a lot to ask of our offense against a a great pass rush.

Maybe the staff should get a book of phrases that they are never allowed to repeat, this would be one of them. I am fully aware of how ridiculous this can seem, but anything to quiet the Hoke 2.0 noise is a good thing.

From one Larry to another.

It is a less than 50% chance, but if they can make Barrett uncomfortable, there is, in fact, a chance.

because that defense is going to have to hold OSU to basically nothing - and probably provide some points on their own - if we wants to win with JOK

O Korn starting

if JOK is the starter and he starts off as shakey as usual, watch the rest of the offense.  I just think that they have no confidence in him & they will play accordingly.  The defense will give their best and it will be great, but if the O has no confidence, the outcome will not be in doubt for long.  O Korn is not the leader that we need, but he maybe the only one we have.

For the most part, Don's unit has been excellent

A few bad drives, especially in the 1st half of key games, but I'd listen to what this guy says.

The MSU long TD drive was bad, as was PSU's late 2Q drive that made it 21-13. Give him mostly a pass last week - the whole team deflated when Peters went out. 

What I really hope to see (but am not expecting it to happen) is FINALLY getting some special teams scores (blocked punt for TD, PR TD, etc.) - without that our D will be back against the wall all day.

I’m tempted to post the standard internet meme, “So you’re saying there’s a chance?” But I don’t think there’s a significant chance.

It’s great there there was a good practice. But we had a whole regime of good practices with Hoke, and that didn’t work out.

Let me be very clear that I love Harbaugh, and I think this team will continue to grow, mature and get better. I know we’re all tired of hearing it, but next year should be a real step up.

If Don Brown says it. Book it. The man has never spoke anything but the direct, no BS truth. Solve your problems with aggression.

He has earned that status and credibility. Not to hear a bunch of nonsense comparisons to Hoke.

It would be more encouraging if he said he ran every stunt he could imagine in practice and the OL stifled them all.

OSU

At some point the OSU players have to lose the excitement and hyper focus for this game. I know it's a culture thing with them and Urban does his best to keep the intensity up for this game, but it's starting to seem manufactured on their end. If they're honest, I imagine a lot of the OSU players look at this game and don't get the hype. No one on their roster has ever seen this as a competitive rivalry. I hope this means they are gradually losing their edge and we can sneak up on them. Need to win a few to make this truly special again.
