The Enemy Unveiled: CJ Stroud named OSU's Starter

Cardale Jones did not light us up.  He basically handed off every snap, as OSU was already up 2-3 scores when he came in.

EDIT: I just checked the box score.  He was 2/3 for 7 yards.

If Barrett doesn’t get hurt we probably win the 2017 game. Haskins was able to throw the ball way better than JT was able to do.

Probably. But it’s the first game back with fans and a night game. That can throw anyone off their game. Minnesota does bring back a good OL and a really good RB. Tanner Morgan was decent two years ago. Idk anything else about their team but there are components that can give OSU problems

But… but… Row The Boat!

I started recording Jeopardy again after Amodio won 8 in a row. He’s up to 15 now. He would make a helluva host. Young, good looking, affable, smart… What else do you need to host a game show?

At 0-10, Day will fire off a memo to Satan reminding him of the little agreement he signed with Tressel, and that will be that.

Should I upvote for accuracy or downvote for YOU BASTARDS

Bauserman was great in Sha Na Na though.

Well, except the guy who had the greatest passing season in NCAA history.

The cushy salary is worth waiting your turn and not going elsewhere

I think it's super hard to predict, because no one knows for sure what college football is going to look like once all the dust settles from the recent NIL ruling.  I can easily envision a world in which some UT alumni get together and offer to make Ewers a multi-millionaire for him to transfer to Texas.  If he's 2nd string behind Stroud after spring ball next year, I think that's a plausible scenario, but I don't know how likely it is.  

Being a starting QB could conceivably worth like $3million or $5million more than being a backup, at the right school.  And being a Texas HS phenom, it's entirely possible that their alumni would be willing to put up way more money than OSU's.

If I'm the AD or assistant AD at a major football power, I'm working the phones and schmoozing at dinners, looking for a company that's willing to go the "At Avis, we're #2, so we try harder" route.  Have them commit to paying the backup QB every year, and figure out how to skirt the NCAA rules by giving them some additional compensation-- access to the coaches, or invitations to events they wouldn't otherwise get into, or whatever.  Like, throw resources at it and make it a tradition.  It could pay off big time.

The idea that OSU will have any trouble with Minnesota strikes me as a bit absurd.

"Even in Minnesota’s “breakout” season, they walked through one of the easiest schedules..."

They didn't exactly walk through the easy part of their schedule. 

Bronx, all the reports coming out of fall camp is the offense is so deep they could rotate almost every position less TE. They actually playing with the idea of moving the LT to LG in order to get Dawand Jones on the field. They may give the 2nd OL a series or two every game like Tressel did in 2006. Unless OSU throws 3 pick 6’s, fumbles @ the Minnesota 1 five times I have no clue why anyone would be nervous of the gophers. OSU could probably win a close one with the 2nd offense.

***my mother grew up @ Morris avenue & Jerome. As a youngin’ I remember walking down towards the overhead train to the butcher(Charly) with sawdust floors. He always gave us kids a piece of bologna when we came in. It was so fresh. Early 70’s my grandmother moved to middle village queens after she was mugged in her building. Loved NYC as a kid visiting.my aunt & uncle had a bungalow @ Long Beach or Rockaway 71-77. Great times.
