Urban Meyer hired by OSU

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Re: Urban Meyer Just Asked Live About OSU

Nothing mentioned yet, so........

OSU stepped up today and had a decent game. I've got to give credit to Fickell for getting the team ready to play after the fiasco of last week. Kudos to him.

Not sure how I liked the very conservative game plan, but it sure did work. The O line played extremely well. With all the draws, etc we ran, the O lineman simply took the defender where he wanted to go to create the running lanes. Very simple stuff but it worked.

One nice TD pass by Miller. ONE completed pass. lol NICE running by Miller all game long.
Braxton Miller did nothing all game except for that 35 yard run and the one pass.

The entire game was won by the defense. They're a great unit, and only one starter is a Senior. They'll be dominant next year, hopefully they have a competent passing attack next year as well. The young receivers must improve, as does Braxton. But they're young.

I do hope they let Braxton pass more the rest of the season.. It's already a lost cause this year with the 3 losses, so just let him develop in game.

Braxton has to prove he can handle more pass attempts before they give him that opportunity.

As they should, considering he can barely make a read before pulling it down.


I want no part of them passing just to pass thinking it's going to help his development.

Obviously they thought they would have one more year of Pryor. Braxton is a true freshman. It's pretty rare to see a true freshman start at QB these days. The jump in expectations is too much from a mental perspective.

Red-shirting Miller and watching Pryor dazzle was obviously the plan.

Too bad, this team would almost certainly be heading into a bye week undefeated with two weeks to prepare for Wisky at home.

What a game that would have been.

(sighs, takes a shot of Jameson)

Oh well.

I don't think OSU could handle Wisconsin with Pryor. This year is a take our medicine year, it happens.

I'd be looking alot more forward to the game than I am right now.

DickieV needs to stick to writing about hoops.
 
Re: Urban Meyer Just Asked Live About OSU

Can we get back to talking about Meyer to OSU and speculation on that? Plenty of threads to discuss Pryor, Miller's ability, etc.
 
Re: Urban Meyer Just Asked Live About OSU

Anyone else find it strange how rare it is for Braxton to throw a decent spiral?

The TD pass was damn good though. The tight spiral thing will come. I'm not concerned with it.
 
Re: Urban Meyer Just Asked Live About OSU

Ohio State was using high school football's today for the game.

Perfectly legal apparently, but a touch smaller than the college ball.

Didn't seem to help much, but the pass to Stoneburner was nice. Albeit simple.
 
Re: Urban Meyer Just Asked Live About OSU

I'd love to have Urban but his "health problems" concern me greatly.

I think the year off from coaching really allowed him to re-evaluate the level of stress he was putting himself through at Florida. He's said as much in recent interviews. While it's always possible they could resurface, I wouldn't be that concerned with the health issues if he was hired to be the next OSU head coach.
 
Re: Urban Meyer Just Asked Live About OSU

If Meyer does take the job, I would bet he wins a national title within 3 years. There's already an immense amount of young talent on the OSU squad and with two or three recruiting cycles under Meyer, I'm sure the level of talent would be mind-blowing.
