Vids of smashing Temples never get old. Harden's huge day.

T3 throwing the fade--can any of our current crop of qbs throw that ball?

I can't argue with you there. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a video of the 2010 game highlights. The best I can do is this:

I tried finding videos for certain games, but to no avail. Wish we had these:

2005 vs. Ball State - just because this was a memorable sunny day in Athens during my senior year, and there were a TON of big plays that went for TDs. Kalvin McRae went off for 250+, Justin Fitzgerald had an end-around TD run and Scott Mayle took a kickoff back.

2006 at NIU - the Austen and Kalvin show. This was a huge win for the program to beat the Garrett Wolfe-led Huskies.

2009 vs. NIU - surprisingly there isn't one, or at least I can't find it. I remember this one because LaVon took a punt return back for a TD. Has there ever been bigger back-to-back home games that meant more? After beating NIU, Temple came in the next week.

And, as a radio sports host here mentioned this past Monday, we just had our last "football-less" TV weekend for the next 5 months or so. All is right with the world!

P.S. Those new Wilson footballs are sweet!

Putting the college football playoff logo on the ball really rubs me the wrong way. There's no realistic chance that any of the Group of 5 will ever get a bid. This really has to anger the players when they see this and know what a joke it is that they could run the table and still not qualify for the prize advertised on the ball they play with.

Will Tom Osborne be next? I'd love to have him spend some time with Albin and Isphording.

Also, some video clips of the offensive line in drills at:
https://twitter.com/OhioU_OLine

The starting five appear to be, as expected, McQueen, Lucas, Powell, Wood, and Watson. Also visible in the drills (on the back side of the pads) are Adams, Dudziak, Gibbons, and Langenkamp.

I would think (or at least I hope to think) that the Tampa 2 is already part of our normal coverage schemes. It's been around for a while now. Cool to see Monte Kiffin stop by though.

Yes, the Tampa 2 was Ohio's standard defense until last year, when they primarily ran the Michigan State Cover-4. Ohio still mixes it up, though, sometimes running the Cover-2 on one side of the field, and the Cover-4 on the other, so the Tampa-2 is not forgotten.

Kiffen was an excellent defensive coach at Nebraska during Solich's time there, but wanted to be a head coach. After three years at NC State, where he was 16-17, he realized he was a better defensive coach, so he went back to that, and eventually ended up in Tampa with Tony Dungy where they created the Tampa-2.

Osborne did spend time with staff last spring in Athens.

That is a good one. I always liked this one just as much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GJfr0gSpeM&list=PLh02t53...

The 2 opening lines, are perfect for a team coming off a bye week

Like the inspiration video of BG 2012, if you will.

But that was the last game that I saw in person (it being a long haul in from L.A.) and the result was not as inspiring as the video. The first half....
