TRANSFER QB ANALYTICAL BREAKDOWN

I hope Ohio State fans are ready for Michigan fans to chirp us about just running the ball all the time just like they did...
There is no way this is the case! Even IF OSU had Honda back they would still be airing it out more! With that being said, I’m excited to see them do more routes out of the back field for Trey and Jud! That would be straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Set it straight Menace!

Harbaugh didn’t “buy a cheeseburger for a kid”.

He denied meeting with a recruit and their family. The family said no, we met him on this date, and they (shockingly) thought that it was weird he ordered a Cheeseburger for breakfast.

The NCAA then asked the school for their receipts and sure enough Harbaugh had a cheeseburger on that day for breakfast. The NCAA came back and was like “You sure you didn’t meet with this family on this day?” And he said no, never met them ever. NCAA said ok well we now know you’re fucking lying.

Stop buying into their victim mentality.

National Championship Team Trends

I wanted to take a look and see what all of the National Championship teams in the Playoff Era have in common and see if there are trends that we can see. The chart below is showing each teams rankings in Points Per Game, Yards Per Game, Points Per Game Allowed, Yards Per Game Allowed, Yards Per Play and Yards Per Play Allowed.

YearTeamPoints/GameYards/GamePoints/Game AllowedYards/Game AllowedYards/PlayYards/Play Allowed
2023Michigan126211244
2022Georgia46510216
2021Georgia8241342
2020Alabama241329217
2019LSU112027229
2018Clemson431432
2017Alabama132511131
2016Clemson17121110338
2015Alabama334233441
2014Ohio State481815516

What is very clear is that each team was ELITE on at least one side of the ball. The chances of winning a natty also increase if you are ELITE on D. Maybe a good sign for the 2024 Buckeyes. What do these numbers tell you?

Sherrone Moore Caught

There is not a chance in hell, in any college football program... and probably not in a single large high school program, that anything like that (even a laminated sheet, or a random kid SPEAKING on the sideline to coordinators) is going on.... without the head coach AT THE VERY LEAST, asking what that is. It's not even possible. EVERYONE knew... and some might not be possibly proven... but there is ZERO chance that there was a single full time coach that didn't know about it. ZERO.
Appreciate that 🫡

@Zach Smith I have to ask you because you were a coach and I’m trying to understand Gameday prep. We saw Connor Stallions have laminated sheets of signals and other staffers with those same sheets. Does the Head Coach not meet with the coaches/ staffers before they go out there? Are game prep sheets normally passed around in staff meeting prior to game day or the day of gameday? Are Head coaches unaware of game prep sheets that are passed around to other coaches and staffers?

TRANSFER QB ANALYTICAL BREAKDOWN

OVERALL COMPOSITE SCORE

Dillon Gabriel = 1.91
Cam Ward = 2.91
Kyle McCord = 3.39
Will Howard = 3.83
DJ Uiagalelei = 4.09
Riley Leonard = 4.52

I think it's safe to say Will Howard's numbers will see an uptick this season. If we were to compare these numbers at the midway point of the season (presuming Howard is the starter) I'm almost certain his overall composite score will jump ahead of Honda's, and potentially Cam Ward's as well.

Areas I'm expecting improvement in are production on the deep ball and short throws. Howard was 5th and 6th respectively in those two categories in terms of adjusted completion percentage last season. With two dynamic backs in the backfield, and a plethora of talent at receiver, I believe Howard can jump 2-3 spots up each of those ranks. I'm also anticipating Howard's total scrambles to eclipse well over 8 this year as I hope he won't feel the need to force throws when he doesn't have to and create on his own. Especially if he's clocking in at over 22mph. Finally, his play action passing should greatly improve with the rushing presence that Ohio State is entering the season with already. As team's try to load the box, I believe the play action will be a huge part of the Buckeyes offensive identity this season and once again Howard has the weapons surrounding him at WR to expect a reasonable uptick in production there as well.

Cleveland Browns Brook Park Stadium Concept

I am a really big fan of the concept, not only for the stadium itself but also for the surrounding area. I know it's domed, but there is so much potential for what they can do with it, such as hosting Final Fours, college football games, and other events. I love it!

TRANSFER QB ANALYTICAL BREAKDOWN

We took the top six transfer QB’s from this offseason and did a deep dive into their stats and advanced analytics from last season.

The main discussion point we wanted to address, was how does Will Howard stack up against the rest of the guys that went elsewhere this offseason?

Take a look for yourself.

Little Camp note

Camp is underway and things are obviously happening mostly behind closed doors but here are a couple notes I have gotten.
Devin and Will are the only 2 working with the 1s right now. They try and sprinkle Julian in there every now and again but thats been like 5 percent of the time as he is hitting some freshman challenges.

My best comp for him while i know people want to see him is honestly how Sark handled Arch in year one.

Will is far more consistent than he was in the spring but still having some misses and struggles in the Redzone. Both QBs are moving the ball pretty similarly but Devin has the added deep ball competitions and Will has the longer runs.

It seems like there may be a sickness going around the team still waiting to confirm but hear a few players got there and are having to miss time because they are sick. So if you hear reports of some offensive line struggles its probably because of who is missing practice so i wouldnt stress to hard.

The more and more i hear about this offense the more I feel like BI is going to be one of the best 3 by the end of the year. He has had an impressive start to camp but its been a little overshadowed. However he still offers something in the WR core that nobody else has.

I have also beeen sick so i have been doing less streaming and writing but im hoping to be back on stream tonight and answering all questions on here today.
