This looks like Nebraska / Ohio state...
- Thread starter Spartanhusker
- Start date
Clemson vs Ohio state started the same way. Not confident OSU can rebound in the same fashion. But far too early to make declarations.
The Buckeyes are playing zone like Chinander did against them. Give them yards but try to make it difficult for them in the red zone.
They donāt have the defensive backs to keep up with the Alabama wrās (no one does). Itās either play zone and keep them in front, or go man and let bama burn them over the top. Itās a game of matchups. Just have to try to hold them to fgās.
Not gonna lie, Iām enjoying watching Ohio state get destroyed. Now they know how the rest of Big 10 feels lol.
Mac Jones: A 5.9 4 star who really wasnāt that highly recruited by the big schools. This offense is not even that different from what Frost wants to run, minus the zone read. This dude is not mobile and he does not have a cannon either but he puts the ball on his speedy receivers (mainly Davonta Smith) in stride on every throw and they make huge plays as a result.
Thatās all we need folks. Weāre gonna have the receivers. We desperately need a QB that doesnāt make them sell out on every catch.
Smith and Harris alone would make Frost look like a genius. Bama always has the best players. I think Jones is better than some Bama winners in the past but we hear this all the time.
I can agree with that definitely helping Jones out. He has very little pressure and his receivers are often wide open. Iām just looking at these Frost-type WR swing passes theyāre running and he just lays it in there perfectly to preserve momentum and gain yards every play. So well executed every time.
I do have to disagree on Smith, I think right now Frost would make him look like a walk-on.

It's disciplined because the refs aren't throwing any flags on Alabama. Lot of blatant holds and illegal blocks that I saw.
Alabama, 400 yards and 35 points. Ohio State has to hope that Bama will have a letdown like most teams do with big leads going into the second half. I suspect there will be a bit of a letdown by Bama, but not enough to lose this game.
How long can this last? There's only 4 or 5 teams that have a chance at being the champions every year now. The other 125 teams know going in that they have no chance, even if they have a dream season. At some point the national championship isn't really going to be something that anyone cares about because its basically a foregone conclusion who it will be, give or take the 5 teams that actually have a shot.
They also develop their players. Harris wasn't that great his freshman year and took awhile to come on. Smith likely doesn't develop into a Heisman level receiver unless he's at Bama. Sure they have very good talent coming in, but they also develop that talent better than anyone.
The south and a few outliers like Ohio State own college football and will for the foreseeable future. Until the likes of USC, Oregon, Washington, Nebraska, Michigan and a few others get a lot better, things won't change at all for college football.
People only have problems with this when itās their team that canāt compete.
Uh oh, that little letdown that happens to big leads, will that td by Ohio State get the comeback rolling?
Wouldn't matter, the same top dogs would still be in the same spots they are now.
