- You're probably thinking of Jalen Waddle ~ Dolphins w/ Tua * - G-Man [17:55:38 09/27/22] (9)
  - one of the most dominant halves of football for a WR vs the Buckeyes ever. Tore that ass up. * - Bucket from Joe's [18:01:39 09/27/22] (7)
    - You're thinking of DeVonta Smith, who was decidedly uninjured. But yes. * - Mr.C [18:03:17 09/27/22] (6)

      - And WR1 this week.* - SanDiegoBuckeye [18:45:05 09/27/22] (0)
      - Correct. Waddle was injured & largely a decoy. Smith tore it up, esp'y 1:1 vs Tuf. :-)) * - G-Man [18:12:44 09/27/22] (0)
      - dammit.....how could I screw up the name? Smith was completely unstoppable and they knew it. * - Bucket from Joe's [18:04:20 09/27/22] (1)

    - Not sold on scUM. Thier quality of play and strength of schedule is iffy. * - TellMe [18:56:17 09/27/22] (0)

  - Yeah, Bama is going to lose at least once.* - BuckeyeForever [23:52:36 09/27/22] (0)
  - There is a pretty clear road for this, especially if the only loss for OSU/Mich is Nov. 26 * - Centauri2 [17:44:37 09/27/22] (2)
    - Is there a scenario where Bama wins the SEC again. OSU wins the B10. 1 loss UGA and scum are #3 and #4 * - OSUgradinGA [17:52:17 09/27/22] (1)
      - M loses to us close in C-bus, no other strong 1-loss competitors, I can see it. - Mr.C [18:26:49 09/27/22] (0)

    - There is plenty of depth at WR. I can’t believe we’re having this conversation. * - buckeyecurt [17:34:17 09/27/22] (5)
      - So answer the question…who is the next man up if Fleming goes down? * - the Displaced Buckeye [23:07:22 09/27/22] (0)

      - ^^^THIS^^^^^ * - Buckeye Stuck In Florida [17:37:24 09/27/22] (0)
- Sure. But only so many balls to go around. * - DaytonBuck [16:38:25 09/27/22] (3)
  - yep, but with Njigba out and Fleming a bit dicey with injuries, who might the next man up be? Ballard? * - the Displaced Buckeye [16:41:34 09/27/22] (2)
    - Ballard play the X behind Marv. Fleming plays Z behind EE. XJ is next after JSN * - THE89Alum [16:44:14 09/27/22] (0)
    - Yes. * - DaytonBuck [16:43:31 09/27/22] (0)

  - The two highest ranked teams - FairfaxBuckeye [16:34:53 09/27/22] (6)
    - Relying on rankings to determine a conference champ is a total fail * - Mr.C [17:19:25 09/27/22] (1)
      - I think there will be more tie-breakers before rankings are reached. Unsure tho. * - THE89Alum [19:48:07 09/27/22] (0)
    - CFP rankings? Seems the more teams you have, divisions make more sense * - Purgatory Buck [16:49:31 09/27/22] (3)
      - Unless its the B1G w no competitive balance by division * - THE89Alum [16:55:28 09/27/22] (2)
        
        So is my scenario better than divisions? The tie breakers are gonna be stupid * - Purgatory Buck [19:20:45 09/27/22] (1)
        
        Eh, not sure. H2H, common opponents, strength of sched just a few of tie breakers before rankings. ?? * - THE89Alum [19:46:22 09/27/22] (0)

Rate position groups/rooms for OSU. Mine in order are: WR/OL/QB/LB/TE/RB/DL/ST/DB (m) - Barrett777 [12:55:59 09/27/22] (3)
- Agreed. I wouldn't discount the fact that LB's are clean cuz DL is having gap discipline and setting edge better. * - THE89Alum [15:48:44 09/27/22] (2)
  - Very valid point. The DL is doing a great job of keeping the LB’s clean. Still think they have more upside potential (m) - Barrett777 [16:26:09 09/27/22] (1)
    - Agree. * - THE89Alum [16:32:07 09/27/22] (0)

        Getting paid, sure. Getting paid as top 15 pick? Different issue. His combine will not be as good as Wilson & Olave* - Anotherbuck [14:16:36 09/27/22] (0)

  - I don't think we will ever see him again. * - ZEKE [12:31:54 09/27/22] (15)
    - If he were to consult with Lattimore or Curtis Samuel, I might agree. They can tell him all about that injury. * - Solomon Dangerfield [14:01:31 09/27/22] (0)
    - Might not get drafted 1st round if he skips season. Entering the season, scouts questioned his draft stock already* * - Anotherbuck [13:30:19 09/27/22] (2)
      - He is a 1st rounder whether or not he plays. It's his decision & his decision only. End of story. * - G-Man [14:17:14 09/27/22] (0)
      - So, this is an entirely different situation than Nick's. Plus injury much less serious* - Anotherbuck [13:31:20 09/27/22] (0)

      - Hamstrings can become chronic if not properly treated, reinjury this season could raise a red flag to NFL teams. - Iron Mike [13:28:47 09/27/22] (0)
      - If he has to miss the rest of the season, would he come back ny to raise his draft stock? * - the Displaced Buckeye [12:55:36 09/27/22] (0)
        
        That dude is a top 10 pick even if his hammy fell off the bone. No chance he returns. * - buckeyecurt [13:00:06 09/27/22] (1)
        
        He's outside the top 10 in many current mocks.* - Buck Soup [13:53:37 09/27/22] (0)
        
        No way he comes back. He’s got plenty of great tape already. He will do well at combine - Nickbuck [12:58:42 09/27/22] (2)
        
        i mean no way he comes back NEXT year. He will give it a shot to return THIS year. * - Nickbuck [13:00:35 09/27/22] (1)
