You're really funny. You actually believe football is transitory. It isn't. Even Ryan Day doesn't believe what you say. Those games have nothing to do with Texas vs Ohio State. They also have 2 of the best defenses in the country.
Very little being said about duhO$U's abysmal Offensive performance.

Having an odd take that pretty much no one agrees with is fine.
Defending it is fine.
Insulting those who disagree smacks of narcissism.

We're talking specifically about Saturday's Offensive performance - and it was quite bad... as in really bad. duhO$U's win had more to do with playing at home and Texas being insanely over-rated (especially offensively and at QB) than it did with duhO$U's Offense playing even remotely decent.
"Bad" is a relative word and, in football, is greatly affected by the quality of the opponent. Is it possible that they are 2 really good teams, especially on defense? OSU played conservative on offense, Day even said that.
Their Offensive statistics are objectively terrible - worse than the offensive statistics of the worst team who had the worst offense in all of FBS last year (0-12 Kent State who had the worst offense in all of FBS - 228 yards per game and 3.8 yards per play. duhO$U managed 203 yards Saturday night. duhO$U went 3-&-Out on fully one-third of their 9 possessions, 4-and-Out on another, and punted after short possessions on 3 of their remaing 5 posessions.).
duhO$U's Offensive performance on Saturday was objectively bad - their offense was inconsistent and extremely unproductive. Saying "they won" over, and over again, does not change the immutable fact that their offensive stats were extremely poor. Just plain bad.
I guess OSU will just have to load their schedule with cupcakes. That way their offense will be good, Maybe they could play Kent State 4 times a year.
This might be one of the worst arguments ever made on the internet which is impressive
Ohio State beat #1 and is now ranked #1--there isn't a single knowledgeable fan that came away from that game thinking "Ohio State's offense is a problem". Not one.

Not one knowledgable football person thinks 203 yards of total offense, 89 rushing yards and 3.7 yards per snap for an entire game is an objectively, and factually, bad offensive performance??? Wrong again as per usual KingMoron (troll-boy), every knowledgable football person (which automatically excludes you) understands that 203 total yards of offense, only 89 rushing yards and an average of only 3.7 yards per play for an entire game (punting on 6 of your 9 possessions - half of them 3--&-out after only gaining 5 or 6 yards - with a seventh possession being a 4-&-out after gaining only 9 yards) is really, really, really bad offensive production.
If someone’s biggest takeaway from the 86 Miami game or the 05 Ohio State game was the Penn State’s offense had a historically bad performance, I (and everyone else) would have laughed…the same is true right now.
Countless people in this thread have told you otherwise
You must be the absolute bomb, all alone on your island.
ESPN and Fox both said that OSU's streak - after the Texas win - now stands at 6 straight against top 5 teams
Here is big game day on Colin talking about not throwing too much at his rookie qb

As a Buckeye fan, I will give my input.
No one was thrilled with the overall offensive performance, but they got a win vs the #1 team in the country after replacing 14 NFL guys, both offensive and defensive coordinators, OL coach and starting a red-shirt freshman in his first ever game. Was Texas over-rated? maybe but either way they are still an elite team, and a win is always great.
Offense - had a conservative game plan, and Day admitted so. Red-shirt freshman starting his first game against the #1 team with an elite defense.
Running Game - To think the running game would be the same as last year is not realistic. tOSU has two elite backs, with a running threat QB and an experienced OL. I am sure that the running game will improve, and Texas likely has one of the best if not the best DL in the country.
Passing Game - Was very conservative as far as play calling. Sayin was very accurate and had several early drops which put them behind the chains and led to poor field position repeatedly. they also had below average punting/special teams. Sayin, missed a couple reads but never put the ball in danger and played to manage the game (which he did).
Offensive Line - Played fairly well, pass protection was pretty good. Run blocking can get better, new players, new positions will need a couple games to get ironed out.
Defense - Played a lot of nickel and dime later in the game which attributed to some of the run defense stats.
Defensive Line - Did fairly well in pass rush, need to see some improvement on getting off blocks vs running game.
Linebackers - Played well, especially in pass coverage.
DBs - Played fantastic.
Coaching - they did great, the defensive plan was elite. They played the game conservative but also made no real mistakes. Texas got out-coached.
looking forward to the game vs Penn State, should be another barn burner. Rooting for you guys to do well outside of against us.

Here are some quotes directly from the article:
Here are some quotes directly from the article:
It is in the semantics. The 4 consecutive top 5 wins were in consecutive games. If you go back a little further then you have Indiana and PSU as a top 5 teams at the time but that were nor consecutive specifically with the current streak which will end this Saturday unless Grambling suddenly becomes a top 5/10 team.
So what? They won against a great defense. I bet anything, Ryan Day went into the locker room and all he talked about was stats. He told the team they didn't deserve to win, and they suck. Lmao.

B1G Time: Ohio State had its worst offensive performance in the Ryan Day era
Ryan Day has been Ohio State's full-time head coach for 78 games, and Saturday's win was only the third time in those 78 games that the Buckeyes scored fewer than 17 points in a game. It was the first time they won while doing so. The first instance was a 14-3 loss to Missouri in the 2023 Cotton Bowl that saw Ohio State play without most of its stars. Who will ever forget Lincoln Kienholz (who lost this year's QB battle with Julian Sayin) completing six of his 17 passes for 86 yards? Not me! The other instance was last year's 13-10 loss to Michigan, which Ohio State quickly made a distant memory by charging to a national title.
But that's just points scored. There are so many more stats we could look at. In fact, we could make a table!
| Ohio State Offense | Stat (Rank out of 78) |
|---|---|
| Points | 14 (76th) |
| Yards per play | 3.8 (77th) |
| Points per drive | 1.27 (76th) |
| EPA per play | -0.3 (74th) |
| Success rate | 37.3% (73rd) |
| Explosive play rate | 3.7% (78th) |
| 3 & Out rate | 54.5% (77th) |
Another fun stat is that Ohio State went three-and-out on 54.5% of its possessions against Texas, the second-highest rate under Day, behind only last season's 21-17 win over Nebraska (66.7%!). It's only the third time the Buckeyes have gone three-and-out on at least half their possessions in a game under Day (the third was also last year's Michigan loss, 50%). For perspective, Ohio State has played nine games under Day without going three-and-out a single time. Amazingly, one of them was last year's national title game against Notre Dame.
This is up there with the most Bushwood-y threads I've ever seen...note that I'm not including anything officiating related in there, since he takes those to an entirely different level.
Ohio State is and will be just fine. Focus on Penn State, This is not an OSU board.
Who was the happier coach at the 86 season Fiesta Bowl. Paterno or Johnson.
Don’t be bashful. I know you know the answer.
Well, if nothing else, the stats show that even on one of Ryan Day’s worst days, they were able to beat the number one team in the country. Sucks to be Day.
So now the weight of the statistics irrefutably proves that duhO$U's offensive performance was abysmal, but we're going to fall back on but.... but.... but.... they won, which accrues to their defense, playing @Home and Texas (especially their Offense and most important part of their offense - their QB) being absurdly over-rated. Mel Kipper named Arch Manning the #1 Draft Prospect for the 2026 Draft - so that makes him the best player and QB in all of CFB??? LMAO. Declaring Texas #1 after that performance is every bit as laughably ridiculous as Mel Kiper (and many other national media jock-sniffers) ordaining Arch Manning the best player in all of CFB and the presumptive #1 2026 NFL Draft pick based solely on his last name and not a shred of evidence related to his play as Texas' QB. LMAO.
Also, I'm disappointed that this thread has only gone on for three pages so far.
So if OSU comes out Saturday and hangs 60 on Grambling State, will you declare their offense awesome since apparently opponent doesn’t matter.
One thing about Bushwood, like Lando, they will not change their mind no matter what and they will die on every hill they post about.
Silly Rabbit, points don’t matter. Winning doesn’t matter.
Total yards matter.
Yards per snap matter.
Percentage of passes off target matter.
3 and out rate matters.
Points per drive matter.
EPA per play matters.
Explosive play rate matters.
No, if you win it defacto means you're offense played incredible (despite it being the worst performance ever by a Day coached team by the overall weight of the statistics) - whatever you say dipshit. LMAO.

First of all, I prefer Dipwad, that’s Mr. Dipwad to you. You are the first person I’ve ever heard of that values stats, and obscure stats over falling back on wins and losses.
