Predicting OSU’s passing, rushing, receiving, tackles and sacks leaders in 2025.
Just here waiting for the shouting match to commence
Obscure observation…
From the photo accompanying this story, along with the one last week on Koby Hylton, this question: isn’t there an NCAA rule about pants/pads MUST cover the knee?
What’s the over / under for how many times we punt the ball next season?
Also, I’m not exactly worried about who leads in a statistical category. You should do an article on how many conference wins you think OSU might get.
Technically, yes. Is it enforced? Obviously not.
From what I’ve seen, the new pants designs have the pads built into the pants, which is probably why some of the players pull the pants up, off of their knees. The knee pads don’t really protect against too much, anyway. Majority of knee injuries are ACL/MCL, which the pads will not protect anyway.
No
Yea I’ve no clue what the NCAA rule is but all of the teams that I have watched this year, except Notre Dame, seemed to have ditched the knee pads with the pants ending well above the knee. This made me think that there has been some kind of rule change but I’ve no clue if there was.
Right. Knee pads are USELESS and restrict movement which is why a lot of skill position guys either don’t wear them or have them cut in half to provide a little protection, right above the knee, for the lower quad.
X-TCU QB starts, but if they run him too much, likely gets banged up. Then we see Flores, assuming his foot heals. Regardless, Gundy has to give meaningful snaps to Flores to keep him from the portal because he will be the guy after this season. I think Smith moves on. I hope Fields becomes what we’ve seen flashes of because I don’t see much else in the RB room. A healthy Howland could plow his way when needing short yardage for first downs if we have a big enough O-line. Maybe 3 conference wins. It will be frightening watching the Oregon game.
So if I am reading this right you think Hauass might start next season with Flores as the backup. The season after that Flores takes over the reins. So what happened to Hauass?
Gundy still sucks!!
He portals for gold.
Ok maybe.
