If Michigan can't play, maybe OSU should just play Texas A&M and explode the internet.

OSU punted twice in the 3rd Q on the Michigan side of the 50 facing 4th and 2 and 4th and 5. Neither decision made any sense.

Here is what was supposed to be a fake punt for OSU in 3Q down 24-20 on drive Stroud wanted to go for it. Likely a TD if the long snapper snaps it to Rossi like he’s supposed to. Might have changed the game. Coulda, woulda. Does change my impression of Day’s actions tho.

Quite the CJ Stroud quote today regarding Knowles' defense compared to last year: "They do a lot of different things," They have different ways to get to different coverages, which is really good for my eyes to see. Not just seeing Cover 1, Cover 3 or just base coverage every day

I know I’m not going to stop it but this is absolutely not the way to determine where the QB should have gone and says more about the lack of knowledge about the ppl pushing it then the performance on the field.

I see this as an upgrade for OSU over BOB. You have a lot of scheme and just general familiarity between Day and Chip. What Day needs is to upgrade/diversify the spread run game and Chip brings that.

This was just a bad sequence by Day. Even if you want to punt, at least line up and try to draw Michigan offsides to try to buy time to get a review. I think he should have gone for it either way but have to try to get a review.

Wow. I did not notice this live and haven’t seen this talked about. But Xavier Johnson’s knee did not hit the ground before the first-down mark. He was ruled short, OSU didn’t challenge and Day punted on fourth-and-1. I think Day was right to punt there. But another pivotal play.

I already find the Sonny Styles conversation tiring. He’s not going to start as a deep S. So the two choices are 1) he plays as a “nickel” against heavy personnel. But Hancock is so good as a Ni he would get 15% of the snaps. Or 2) he plays Will LB, which is the 1 open spot.
