Just posting here to say my roommate put money down in Purdue to win last night and I called him loving crazy for it. He won $300.


I thought they were a potential upset but I figured it would have to be like a 49-42 game or something. OSU's back 7 has been really shakey all year but I never would have predicted their offense being unable to score against a pretty crappy Purdue defense.

Chad Morris is the head coach and I think he was the OC at Clemson when Bryant got on campus, so there is going to be a lot of familiarity between Bryant and what Morris wants to do on offense and that preexisting relationship too.

He recruited him but never actually coached him if I remember the timeline right

I would readily trade a loss to Iowa next week to win against Wiscy and see that happen.

Even then we'd probably lose to like Northwestern or Purdue or something. I still think we settle at like 9-3 but we've looked way better than I expected so far

Haskins has been awesome but I'm honestly still a little surprised they didn't give the job to Martell given Urban's preferred offense. Ultimately though I don't think offense is their issue this year, red zone trouble on Saturday aside.

OSU promoted their very good OL coach too high and then had to fire* him

Everyone in the Big Ten has really nice facilities now because they need somewhere to hide network money in order to claim to be losing money or barely breaking even on athletics. Like basically every Iowa team down to the loving rowing team has gotten new practice facilities recently, and they're currently remodeling Kinnick for the second time in 10 years

Brohm is from Louisville. He and basically his entire family played at Louisville. He got his coaching start at Louisville. It's not necessarily just about which job is better. Scott Frost could have had better jobs on paper than Nebraska last year too. Enough people who seem to know what they're talking about have said that's it's a dream job for Brohm that I'm inclined to believe it.

Saban's offenses pre-Lane were pretty vanilla and revolved around a game manager QB and everybody else being bigger/faster/stronger than the other team

This was true of all Lane's offenses pre-Saban too though. He was never some spread wizard and didn't use the QB run game at all before he got to Alabama (I'm pretty sure I've seen stories suggesting that a lot of the zone read and RPO stuff was actually from Locksley). I think it was more Saban hiring Lane and telling him he wanted to start incorporating spread elements than it was Saban giving Lane free reign over the offense.

I was making jokes about Foster but they had really bad luck defensively this offseason and that seems to be most of the problem. The Florida State game kinda made people forget about it but it turns out Florida State's line is just trash. Fuente's offense actually looks alright given that they've been playing the backup QB for a big chunk or the season
