They have a new offensive coordinator too. Wilson is a pretty big loss in that department.
He was.
The news from practice on the kicking front is much improved as you saw.
Clear separation between the two contenders as the injury heals.
Nothing more important than that first make in a real game for a Freshman but I like the “mosh pit” drills to put pressure on the youngster.
Agreed. If you dig into Day's results as OC on his own (at Temple and Boston College) they aren't super impressive. Will be harder to replace than people think.
Brian Hartline is an incredible recruiter/WRs coach but very unproven as OC.
Definitely something that will show up in the big games I think.
Hard to mess up talent on the field but it’s the close game calls. If teams keep it close they could possibly lose a game or two they aren’t supposed to.
They have three games before their first big test at Notre Dame. I’m sure there will be some growing pains for Hartline, but he played there and has been on their staff for several years, so it’s unlikely they‘ll change much at all. Their offensive issues will be largely based on a new quarterback and how quickly he adjusts.

You realize that Day is still calling plays right? Just as he’s done the past 7 years. CKW was Co Cord with Frye and didn’t call plays. They plan on letting Hartline eventually call plays but as of now, it’s still Day. Same as it’s been that has lead the nation in scoring for the past 4 seasons.
Ryan Day announces whether he or Brian Hartline will call Ohio State football’s plays in 2023
Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said in the offseason he was considering turning play calling duties over to the offensive coordinator.
You don’t want to look whipped on national TV. So many negatives come from that. While I’m not optimistic, I hope we can find some magic like we did when Penix made the diving touchdown against Penn State.
It's called sarcasm. And I don't belong to the pay site. I was also making a general comment about folks on the free site making an effort to belittle others because they don't possess "expert" knowledge.
In all the years I posted on here I've never taken personal shots at anybody.
Why do you have to needle people and make personal attacks? Isn't it enough for you just to speak about your opinion or to comment about somebody else's opinion.

//I can't decide if you're just incredibly disingenuous or incredibly unaware of your own posts...//
I consider Day a good coach but not yet great because he hasn't proved his offensive prowess or even with play calling. They'll miss KW a ton. Hartline, Day, new QB and questionable OL added together doesn't offer what they lost to Tulsa. But against IUFB I fear their D. LOS and ST's and which way TO's break are paramount.
You know how it is around here. If you're not all sunshine lollipops and rainbows just STFU
They hired Joe Philbon as an offensive analyst. I’m pretty sure they won’t miss CKW. How has Day not proved his prowess or play calling? Wilson never called the plays. The last part I agree with but your first half is completely not even close to being correct. Look up again how many points his offense has scored a GM the past 7 seasons.

Day has been running HIS offense ever since he was calling the plays for Urban. Wilson oversaw much more on the development side of things, especially the offensive line, despite the offensive coordinator tag,
Day has been outstanding, particularly as an offensive coach (his pedigree). Their challenges of late have overwhelmingly been on D.
Agreed, since ‘19 it seems when they get punched in mouth they fold. Maryland hung with them last year so hopefully our coaches really look at that tape. I feel we have equal talent to them (Maryland)
The influx of portal guys may impact this, but I don’t think we’re at Maryland’s talent level.
Yes, the perceived talent gap v. Maryland is smaller than most think.
I think our DL will be improved this year, with a fast, mike sized body at Mike and #44 at sting, benefitting with TFLs.

I agree about no injuries.
I would guess that 51-6 vs 35-25 leaves a different confidence level going forward.
Agree.
I also think this season will rise and fall with the Louisville game. By then they’ll have had 1 giant, 1 cupcake, and 1 challenge. Those three scores will tell us everything we need to know to prepare ourselves.
Love your enthusiasm and would be ecstatic if you are correct.
Unfortunately I am one of those guys that thinks we give up at least 50 and likely score no more than 13
Good point. You have me convinced. 1-1 and then Louisville
I know, sorry. But I have suffered too many years of losses to be as positive as I would like.
So you consider him great and I as yet don't. KW as HC raised IUFB offensive #'s. Same thing when he joined the Bucks. He's a good coach also but also not great. They'll miss his scheming skills and talent creating matchup advantages to move the ball. Maybe Hartline can too but it'll take time to determine to what degree. I do like their choice to develop his OC future.
Might be too pessimistic of a take on my part...but I think they'll be able to put up 50 on us with very vanilla runs, and play action stuff.
Their defense will give them great field position, if not score points themselves.
The keys to whether the game will be reasonable, roughly the score you say...or an unreasonable blowout where they score 50+...will be whether or not we can run the ball, and whether or not we can contain the run...
Well he’s made 3 playoff appearances in just 4 seasons as HC. He’s also had 3 straight Heisman finalists. I think he’s a top 3 offensive mind in CFB IMO but yes, he’s had a lot of talent to work with.
I actually think the NC goes through the OSU defense - in other words, if they can field a decent defense (for a change), they win it all. Let's be honest, their problems the last 2 or 3 years has been giving up huge plays in big games especially after they've had 2nd half leads especially in the Michigan and Georgia games. Their offense will be - again - one of the top 2 or 3 in CF
I want IU to show up and compete. That is my litmus test.
Don't lay down or get blown out. Be a serious and competitive team.
Go Hoosiers!
