I bet there were a few good times for Iowa to go for it on Saturday and right when everyone assumed the offense was ready to stay on the field, a dark cloud formed over Kirk's head and he said in like six voices "No. Give me a PUNT."

"Go for it" territory is exactly the same as "Tory Taylor is going to drop the punt at the 4" territory, and Kirk trusts the defense/special teams more than the offense.

That OSU-Sparty game a few years back wasn't quite enough, but mark my words, a Big Ten game will soon have enough punts to spawn a new Chaos god.

You'll have to be more specific on which 17-16 OSU-Sparty game you mean. The 2009 Ohio State-Iowa game that decided the conference championship was close. I'll always remember Stewart Mandel's column afterwards, he was just disgusted. Stewart Mandel posted:For those keeping score at home, that's five straight Big Ten titles for Jim Tressel's program, seven BCS trips in eight years and a fourth straight January in which the men from Columbus will try to end the notion that they and their Midwest brethren are prehistoric dinosaurs, incapable of playing with the big boys.

It was the one where Drue Chrisman was landing balls around the 5 so consistently, Michigan State took an intentional safety on a punt to give themselves better field position after the next OSU punt and Chrisman dropped the ball inside the 5 so Sparty started further back than the intentional safety drive. It's just burned in my head because I'd never seen a punter named as player the game by the announcing crew, but they had literally no one else they could get highlights of. Just a joyless slog that broke my brain.

This is what I think sets Saban apart from everyone else, he never ends up with his idiot golfing buddy coordinating the offense. It is sort of amazing in hindsight that from a pure recruiting/scheme standpoint, the difference between Tressel and Urban is essentially just a matter of "how many guys from Ohio" and "Shotgun Y/N". The better Tressel offenses with Pryor essentially just did the JT Barrett playbook. Same idiotic clinging to coaches who aren't up to snuff due to loyalty. Same idiotic desire to maintain instead of constantly evolve. Granted, Jim Tressel did nothing wrong and flatly doesn't get fired today, and Urban Meyer behaved like Urban Meyer and deserves eternal scorn like Woody or any other "Footbaw coach" type.

Pyror also went to OSU specifically because he wanted to play in an offense that wouldn't use him as a runner to prove he could do it to the NFL so he deserves some of the blame there. In hindsight he's also probably a case where the people saying he should have played WR were correct rather than just racist. There was even a OSU game against I think Texas where they put him there for a few snaps and he almost immediately looked like a complete natural leaping over some guy to snag a fade and all I could think was "I don't want to encourage these people but..."

MourningView posted:Pyror also went to OSU specifically because he wanted to play in an offense that wouldn't use him as a runner to prove he could do it to the NFL so he deserves some of the blame there. The worst thing for Pryor is that he was essentially the scariest athlete on earth and also happened to have a decent arm that convinced people he should be a QB. Like, his arm is not huge, but it was enough that he could've done a lot of things for a lot of teams. About the only thing he didn't have from a physical standpoint was like the instant NFL velocity that guys like Lamar/Mahomes/Herbert have shown over the last couple years, but that's maybe the most important thing for success in any modern offense but especially in narrow window Tressel poo poo or whatever the NFL wants from you. He could've been Megatron/Deandre Hopkins if he plays WR for 3-4 years prior to the NFL. He's that caliber of athlete. I do wonder sometimes what happens if he sits his suspension and plays Fickell's interim season. They probably go 10-2/9-3 and end up losing Fickell to another head job a lot sooner, since there's zero chance they don't still chase Urban short of a natty that year. I forget who but someone in coaching rumor circles made the comment that Fickell's performance with the Tressel holdovers probably kept him in Columbus another 2-3 years more than it probably should have.

It’ll be a close game either way. The team that doesn’t turn the ball over will win. I don’t see either side stopping the others offense regularly.

TipTow posted:I think Crotchbat had one too many embarrassing meltdowns in here and decided to stop posting I honestly wish he was around because his ability to have the most unhinged VT takes of all time was unmatched. Dude legitimately thought that getting lucky with Bear front/man only looks against freshman Barrett was the beginning of a return to prominence for VT and that they were on the verge of titles every year. I miss that kind of birdbrained optimism as opposed to those of us who still post here and will never feel secure about any team ever for any reason. His big meltdown was like getting mad that people didn't like a streamer saying some racist poo poo? Idk. AFF posted a Nazi sig in BYOB when FYAD was dead/in limbo and basically went out with the rest of that era of the FYAD lair.
