What would you say.....ya do here?
Iowa has looked great so far on defense.
They've annilhated everyone except Colorado State (only 14 pts allowed but a close game). Not sure what happened in that game and didn't see a second of that one but was surprised the score was close.
OSU is much improved so excited for the rest of the year. Plenty of chances for big wins and to get in the playoff mix with the B1G being loaded this year.
Can ya'll let the High School gym teacher call plays on defense again this week? Please?

FWIW Flemming has been injured for the past two games. Don't know what to read into it, if anything.
Transfer portal in 3….2….
In all seriousness: I think it’s fairly obvious he is, at best, WR7 right now.
Olave
Wilson
JSN
Egbuka
Harrison Jr
Ballard
Fleming
It’s a bummer, but on the flip side it’s a good “problem” to have. The fact Fleming was the number 1 recruit in the country and is WR7 on the depth chart not because off the field issues but because he’s just not good enough speaks volumes about the WR room. I would expect Fleming (and McCord) to transfer to Penn State relatively soon. McCord in the spring and Fleming any day now. I don’t buy that Fleming is injured. I saw the tweet from Birm (it was in response to me lol).

Don't see the tweet. I think Fleming is in the 2nd tier of WR who would normally get playing time. I have him #4 on the list, getting more PT than every non starting WR if he had been healthy. As much as I follow OSU I have never heard anything negative about Fleming and tend to believe he is injured.
It’s not a negative. I think he’s sitting out to preserve an extra year of eligibility. He may have not made up his mind yet.
As for being WR4, I absolutely think Egbuka is not only significantly better than Fleming, but he matches what Hartline is looking for more and is definitely above him on the depth chart. I think Harrison is also making stride and has overtaken him. I think in 2022 it’s going to look this:
WR1: JSN
WR2: Egbuka
WR3: Harrison

I’m very excited about Grayes. Burton might be Garrett Wilson 2.0.

Well OSU seems to have figured out whatever was wrong. Defense looks solid and Stroud is playing with a lot of confidence

Defense looks solid. Offense looks great. Special teams looks great. Stroud looks like a heisman candidate. it blows my mind how taking a week off has completely changed him around. Looks like a difference person out there.

I’m glad they’re conserving Henderson but his talent is just off the charts. Power and acceleration and eye for the holes. He is really something.

Ryan Day has earned a ton of credit this season.
He's clearly at the forefront of college playcallers and QB developers, but it would be easy to say he coasted on Urban's tenure his first two years. I think we're squarely in the Ryan Day tenure now, and things look promising.
Cannot say enough about how he has dealt with adversity. He made a big-boy decision to switch horses midstream on defense (and to Coombs's credit he hasn't rocked the boat), and the offense got in gear. Lot of season left, but the way they've rebounded has been incredible.
Need to finish out the 2022 recruiting class strong and find some more emerging defensive coaches, but it's hard to be anything but optimistic at this juncture.
