I'm not a fan of any college sports (except Division III men's golf and only then Penn-State Behrend).

I couldn't care less about the Penn State win, except for the tiny bit of teasing I can do to folks like @georgep. Tiny, because they know the former is true.

I can't even name the PSU head coach. Or starting QB.

my mistake - I thought you were sporting the Nittany Lions logo for a bit - I shouldn't assume

Yeah, I coach the Penn-State Behrend men's and women's golf teams. I was using our Paw logo after we won our conference championship.

Massively disappointing, but you could see it coming.

Ohio State's offense really has not come together yet this year. Hell, Barrett had to run the ball 26 times against Indiana two weeks ago and 21 more in the Wisconsin game. The play-calling has been very limited with almost no vertical element to it. The receivers are very young so the temptation is to blame them and not JT, but it isn't get the job done either way. The rushing game is facing loaded boxes as a result and there aren't many teams that can make that work.

The defense is fairly average at this point. It's one of the weaker pass rushing teams we've seen in awhile. The LBs are competent but not dominate and really the secondary is the only aspect that really seems to be performing well.

Nothing really left but to hope the team uses the rest of the season to get better. They can still make some kind of bowl game and maybe, give The Team Up North a scare in November.

I'm an UM alum but was pulling for Ohio to play well and win.   I still believe "THE" game will be good.  

It looks like the offense is afraid to open up and throw the ball down the field.   I'm surprised they didn't try to run an option or more play action either.  

This is not the OSU defense that we are use to seeing.  They did limit Penn State to very few yards but didn't make the stops when they were needed.   Usually OSU is stifling.  They haven't been impressive.    

They will get it together.  

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
