More like our f****** offensive play calling doesn't.

I am over this, same crap different day. Tough to get excited when you know darn well how the script is going to read at the end of the season. Time for Frank to retire, and get some new blood in here. If he names Albin successor, good luck getting a dime out of me.

Call a draw play on 3rd and Goal and I call that putting our players in position to lose.....you can say the players lost it all you want, but who recruited em and coached em up?

I personally think it goes both ways. Ron Collins is obviously not a Defensive Coordinator, but there have been times this season that the players just didn’t make plays or they made dumb penalties. How many times have we been called for offsides because of a d-lineman lining up in the neutral zone. I would like to talk more about the things that Ron has messed up but that will take weeks to talk about. Offensively, the O-line wasn’t as good as to what we’re used to. Rourke seems to have to get the snap and either run or hope someone is open in a second. But there are also times where Tim Albin decides to call a play that we all know won’t work out. Like the run play up the middle on 3rd down last night. I say next year, we’ll probably finish maybe 6-6, depending on how good the MAC is. But I think we’ll be good in lil Canada’s (Kurtis) second year at QB. We’ll have a good RB room and WR’s. Hopefully the O-Line will be good and same goes for the D-Line. Linebackers will be good especially with Keye Thompson. The secondary worries me no matter what so we’ll just have to see on that.

It's silly to think we will never turn the ball over. Especially playing in 20 degree weather.

Why is it that we are never in position to force turnovers on other teams? We are 127th out of 130 FBS teams in takeaways per game.

There just aren't any playmakers on D any more. It makes all of our offensive mistakes that much more glaring since our D can't stop anyone.

That's coaching.

Across FBS, turnover luck tends to move around a lot year-to-year. Really good turn over margin one year? It’ll regress toward (or past!) the mean the next year. Terrible turn over margin one year will tend to be followed by a much better one the following year.

Because much of turnover margin is luck. Not all of it, but much

What's Ohio's record under Solich on OCF's birthday? Undefeated? Or close to undefeated?

Lol do you understand how college football works??

Yes, I do.

Do you understand that obvious glaring mistakes made by players are their responsibility? Both that I cited are 100% on the players. Go watch replays if you need to.

The funny thing about it is that Saul was more or less justifiably killed on this board for his lack of recruiting prowess. To a certain extent, yes that is true. He had some major busts.

But, Boals is proving that some of those could play. They just weren't put in a position to win from the previous regime.

Coaching is EVERYTHING in the college game. Recruiting is the lifeblood of your program, but you gotta be able to move those parts and help them develop.
