Speight may return before season end

Alas, one can dream.
October 26th, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
October 26th, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
Or a comfortable lead, yeah
October 26th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
October 27th, 2017 at 9:16 AM ^
Isn't that what we expected against Cincinnati... and Air Force... and Purdue... and Indiana?
October 27th, 2017 at 10:41 AM ^
The good news is Rutgers is worse than Florida and Purdue so we should win by at least like 18 pointsohmygodwebeatthembyseventyeightlastyear
October 27th, 2017 at 4:33 PM ^
Don't think we expected to have a big lead at Purdue.
October 27th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
Peters will play this weekend. So, . . .
October 26th, 2017 at 9:52 PM ^
October 26th, 2017 at 9:53 PM ^
As much as I'd personally like to see him back for the Wisconsin and Ohio State games, I hope he only does so at 100% and does not risk any further injury. I think at this rate, if he is 100% at some point, he has to start, whenever that is.

Im sick and tired of people thinking that a kid with absolutely no experience can come in and be better than experience....you havent seen him play, except in high school...so dont think you know more than Jimmy H.
geez.
October 26th, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
Did you...mean to comment in a different thread?
October 27th, 2017 at 9:18 AM ^
Well Peters did look good on that one play against Purdue before he took a knee.

to know I don't care to have him back in there either. People on this board have a short memory as everyone keeps saying how poor O'Korn is. They are both interchangeable bad and neither one is the answer. It's time to get the young guns in and let them learn and get experience.
October 27th, 2017 at 12:45 PM ^
Speight is demonstrably and objectively better at football than JOK. Not really a matter of opinion.
October 26th, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
How much experience did Wilton have before he became the starter and gained all of his experience?
October 26th, 2017 at 10:57 PM ^
People wanted O'Korn. Now we know why he was behind Speight. There's a reason, and it's not Harbaugh being stubborn, that Peters isn't playing. He's not better than O'Korn. Hard as it is to believe.
October 27th, 2017 at 12:07 AM ^
Not okorn, not Peters.
October 26th, 2017 at 11:42 PM ^
If you're sick and tired, you should probably go rest.

Confidence matters in most things, including sports. If Peters goes in you can expect any team to attack our poor O Line even more than they do already, meaning Peters will probably get hit a lot. Having that kind of experience can ruin a player's confidence and future.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that we might want to wait for a little more data before we start throwing statements like this out there. That is to say, whatever criticism you might levy against Speight stems from far more dynamic causes than this. I don't really think it is throwing motion honestly.
October 26th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
October 26th, 2017 at 10:27 PM ^
mechanics. Speight's footwork has regressed this season where it's causing him to to overthrow. That's why he can't generate velocity in his throw. Bad footwork = inaccurate and doesn't generate velocity.
He can throw 3/4 for all I care as long as his footwork is sound fundamentally.
October 27th, 2017 at 12:03 AM ^
October 27th, 2017 at 4:32 AM ^

are result of bad footwork which leads to high throws. One of them should've been caught by Crawford but still a high thrown nonethless. 2nd one was the right read but overthrow. Again, footwork is the problem.
I was shocked to see the regression of his footwork from last season to this season. Speight has to fix it fast but he's hurt so it'll be hard for him to do so.

October 27th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
even before the injury last year.
October 26th, 2017 at 10:03 PM ^
So OSU will either face a backup QB or a guy barely recovered from injury, like just about every fucking year since 2006.
October 26th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
"Fun" fact: We have not had an uninjured senior QB face Ohio State since John Navarre in 2003.
The results show it.
October 27th, 2017 at 12:08 AM ^
October 27th, 2017 at 10:00 AM ^
I think you're wrong. The score at the end of the 3rd quarter of that game was 42-7. We were up 34-0 on Illinois in the 3rd last year. Almost same 34/35 point lead.
October 27th, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
how many has OSU had in that time? troy smith off the top of my head is one.
October 26th, 2017 at 10:07 PM ^
Yeah man. The QB spook juju thing is real. Devin Gardner Exhibit A. We're probably not seeing Peters because like why put him in with turnstile tackles on both sides? "Hi there young 4 star! Go out and win it for us 3 O linemen vs 5 D front! That's the ticket! Highly doubt we see Speight either. Jimmy's probably going to save it all for OSU, pull out all stops for that, then see what a month of healing before the bowl means or otherwise call it a season and work his tail off this off season to recruit or lateral over some grad transfer tackles, not that those ever pan out.
Logan TT and Newsome and those whiffed tackle recruits are sorely missed.
By the way, fuck that Wisconsin Badger who went low on Grant Newsome. Yeah I said it. Was a cheap shot.
