Very little being said about duhO$U's abysmal Offensive performance.

duhO$U did not remotely look like the #1 team in the Country - Manning might be the most wildly over-rated player in quite some time; his interception was a laughably bad highschool-esque throw. The duhO$U d-back didn't even have to make a great play to pick it off... just a ridiculously bad throw. duhO$U's win was more attributable to Texas being insanely over-rated and playing at home then duhO$U looking like the #1 team. duhO$U only put up 215 Total Offensive yards! Their rushing attack was awful - 89 rushing yards on 31 carries???

BTN hyping Julian Sayin's performance which is laughable (he was 13 of 20 for a whopping 126 passing yards LMAO). BTN has not said a word about how bad duhO$U's Offense looked.

Texas looked even less the part of a #1 team, with one of the most insanely over-rated players (Manning) in recent memory, than duhO$U did, which is one of the primary reasons for duhO$U's win - that and playing at home... certainly wasn't their offense remotely looking like a #1 team.

What did you think of Clemson and LSU?
Both Manning and Sayin obviously need to improve but isn't that true of all young QBs?

He didnt play well but the one int was on the WR to me, didnt run the route hard and let the DB jump it

Oh come on, that throw was ridiculously bad (not only stared-down his receiver, but underthrew the pass to the wrong side of the receiver - you're supposed to throw the ball to the opposite side that the db is on. The db had inside-leverage and Arch threw the ball short and to the inside.). The db didn't make some great play... they merely moved forward on a ball that was thrown woefully bad and looked like they were fair-catching a punt!

Huh, what? duhO$U's abysmal offensive performance went well beyond a "young qb" - they only put up 215 Offensive yards! Their rushing game only had 89 rushing yards on 31 carries!

Against an elite defense. Just like Manning, Nussmeier and Klubnik all projected 1st round QBs played elite defenses and struggled
Clemson rushed for 32 yards and Klubnik hit just 50% of his passes with a pick/no TDs. Is Clemson awful or is that another example of defenses being ahead of offenses early in the year?
Sayin was asked to manage the game--he did so. They won. LSu won. That's their job. You don't need to put up 450 yards to win--or shouldn't.
As Penn State fan, we don't recall what defenses battles were like?
Honestly, this is just setting up people on this board to bash Allar when he plays against Ohio State and doesn't put up 300 yards. He won't. That defense is too good. Just like Sayin won't have huge numbers against us.
Sometimes it's about the defense but I doubt any Ohio State fan is worried about their offense--same with LSU this morning--they have time to figure that out.

It is all forum conversation until Nov 1. In the meantime let both teams take care of business between now and then and have a No1 vs No 2 matchup. on Nov 1.

OSU has now won 4 consecutive games against top 5 teams. That can be stretched to 5 straight against top 7 if you count Tennessee.

Looking at JF's record against top 5/10 teams PSU fans while they may hate OSU has to respect that.

lol. If psu played at osu yesterday in their first game how would they have done. Osu would have won. New receivers and we couldn’t run against Nevada. So please. Osu time and time again wins no matter how much we hate them.

Blah, blah, blah.... no way you're winning a National Championship with an offense that is that ineffective. Period. 215 yards of offense, with only 89 yards rushing, is beyond bad.... ridiculously bad and not one member of the media has brought this up. You aren't winning a National Championship with an offense that is going to rank close to dead last in all of FBS football in Total Offense after week one. Slice it any way you like KingTurdo, but duhO$U's offense does not look like an offense remotely capable of taking them to a NC.

This has to be the funniest post in History.

While last years National Championship team and this year’s Number 1 pre-season team had to run their offenses against each other’s defenses, we got to run ours against a team that was 3-10 last year and winless (0-7) in their Conference.

I have a hunch after what I saw of us yesterday in person against that stellar Nevada defense, Allar wouldn’t have done that much better.

I think they were playing a pretty good D plus I don't think Day was worried about Texas' offense at all. He was happy to limited errors and win a low scoring game

Oh, I got it, Day was happy only putting up 215 yards of Total Offense and only 89 rushing yards on 31 carries??? Really?? That's the Offensive productivity and efficiency that Day was looking for.... LMAO.

Here is a link to Total OFF after FBS team's first game (except for teams playing today):

https://www.espn.com/college-football/stats/team

I don't care what team you're playing, those offensive statistics are beyond putrid and not a sole in the media has said a word about it. You're not winning a NC with that offense.

That is why I never celebrated the PSU victory over Miami, because we gained only 162 yards.....I was extremely disappointed in that "win" for PSU.

Let’s see what OSU offensive numbers loook like in late October and November when it counts. That team ALWAYS improves.

I just don’t see how you credibly criticize that team in game one if you look at them historically.

You play to win the game

Wow, what a revelation - this might be one of the dumbest tautologies ever posted as a supposed proof statement. Winning the game does not change the FACT that duhO$U's Offense looked, and played, awful as unquestionably proven by the numbers (215 yards Total Offense and 89 yards rushing on 31 carries - abysmal performance).

They beat the preseason #1 team and you're trying to find negatives. If we had beat Texas just like Ohio State did we'd be planning the NC parade.

Feel like OSU and Texas are two of the best teams in the country and played pretty evenly for the most part. They’re gonna roll a lot of other teams and both are likely in the playoffs. Their performances were dictated/limited by their opponents - I wouldn’t take a ton from this save Manning isn’t anywhere near as good as advertised.

Good defenses slow good QB play down and looky, looky....it happens all over. Arch had a pedestrian day, thew a pick, and a few passes off his backfoot sidearm into the ground. As fans we tend to live inside a box and only think it happens to our own. OSU's TD to Tate the WR was wide open and the QB underthrew him quite a bit but Tate came back and made the catch. Other than that tOSU did very little. UT's offense actually had the better day overall.

And how completely ineffective they were at running the ball @Home themselves (89 rushing yards on 31 carries). 215 yards of Total Offense is awful. duhO$U only had 11 first downs and 4 of those were via penalties - three of which sustained drives after being stopped.

I thought Nussmeir (LSU QB) looked good in their victory over Clemson. He's definitely better that Cade Klubinek (Clemson QB) who was getting NFL 1st round hype.

SEC is going to have several teams with 2 losses in conference this year and B1G might have the same situation.

BIG contenders (in no order):
OSU (Excellent defense, if Sayin progresses they could win BIG)
PSU (won't know until Oregon game)
Oregon (depends on progression of QB Dante Moore)
Illinois (very experienced, physical team. Not sure about their depth)
USC (Talented as usual but QB questions and has defense improved?)
UCLA (Improving and could pull some upsets)
Michigan (depends on how Underwood improves as season progresses)

Ohio State's offense will improve. Sayin is a step down from Howard and Donaldson is not nearly as good as Henderson and Judkins. Tate and Smith are excellent and Sayin will gain chemistry with them. Their O-Line is solid (did they give up any sacks?). Defense is elite....again. It will take our "A" game to beat them.
