I drank a lot of of his kool ade but it was gone in real time after the UCLA game. He will never get past Colandria now and then that Taylor kid if he gets here.
Sunday Morning Thoughts--Post Ohio

- Start date
I remember back when the fall camp buzz was that Joey Ganz was clearly better than Sam Keller yet BC started Keller anyway. This time around nobody was whispering that TJ was better than Colandrea in fall camp--in fact, it was the exact opposite. I heard the gap between AC and TJ was much larger than the gap between TJ and Danny.
With Colandrea getting a fifth year of eligibility, my prediction is that TJ hits the portal at the end of the season.
I couldn't agree with you more, Hunch!
For all the hype on Adrian Martinez and Dylan Raiola (both were decent QBs), we never saw an "it" that played out on the field. There were a couple of times Saturday when last year's O would've crumbled after a negative play that Colandrea would pull a big play out of his butt.
An example was the series where it began with Hunter making a boneheaded return. That was followed by Gilmer dropping a perfect 20 yard pass on first down. Last year if we had followed our usual script, the very NEXT play would've been Raiola getting sacked for a #@%$&# safety.
This time around, that's when AC rolled out in the endzone and nailed a pass to Gilmer (who caught it this time) for a 30 yard strike. THAT was the play where I turned to my son and said, "We've got ourselves a different QB this year!"
Gosh, he did. What's up with Herbie? I'd expect that from freakin' Little Red, not Herbie!View attachment 9880 View attachment 9881
I bought 8 waters to start game for 4 of us...after I came up for a few minutes during halftime...they were all gone. Granddaughter got to play some FB on the tunnel walk, some "high-fives", and pics...So all in all I didn't care, as I had DVR for game on anyway.
I didn't think wasn't necessary for Herbie to "flip me off" though.

3 quarters of not being very happy or impressed at all. Big Red looked great in the 4th QTR. Very surprised looking at the stats because it just wasn't the game I saw. Happy for the win. Overall I think we have a pretty low bar of expectations which is proper, but is sad.
I'm super impressed with Jamal Rule. Looking forward to Bowling Green.

Maybe the kid in the costume was already on the verge of passing out and wanted to get the giant Herbie head off to breathe but kept getting asked for pictures
Wait, so that means Colandrea is eligible to play for us in 2027? Cuz I thought he was a one and done.
That may be but to flip off that little cutie pie? The humanity!Maybe the kid in the costume was already on the verge of passing out and wanted to get the giant Herbie head off to breathe but kept getting asked for pictures
After watching replay on DVR...I liked what I saw from that Rule kid. Kinda of a cross between Helu and Phillips...IMO
YES!!!
And for you V-ball fans out there, that means 4th year seniors, Harper, Bergen, and Andi are eligible to play again in 2027 too.
Its hard to say what kind of runner he actually is because he got hurt last year after starting and wasn't able to run much. He was actually lucky to even start against Iowa becasue of the leg injury. I think he will be just fine this year. But we wont know if he doesnt come off the bench.
I'd bet money he plays on Sundays........or whatever days the NFL plays on now.
Couple of thought. I think the D was out of sorts early with Chambliss not calling the D and missing the game. He plays....we likely come out "in sync" from the first snap. We had some bad eye discipline at times and over ran some guys we should not have - but that is stuff you can fix.
Offense played really well overall. We didn't get the run game working as well as we should early - but as we wore Ohio down from mid 3rd quarter on our run game dominated.
The one thing I am concerned about is the drops. It wasn't just the wide receivers - I believe a TE had 1 drop and RBs 2.. plus I believe 3 for the WRs. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I was yelling at Dana to bench the Gilmer for those drops - guy is good - but all the talk about guys not producing getting benched was hot air. Dana needs to have this stuff result in consequences - that many drops........is unacceptable. RIDE PINE if you can't catch it.
Special teams were good enough.
I think if the D has been in sync right away we blow them out early 3rd quarter. Also that blind side block on Barney was complete and utter HORSE HOCKEY. The defender engaged Barney shoulder to shoulder - Barney dipped down to protect himself and the guy goes flying. Ref sees a guy flying and calls a PF that did not exist. I guess that needs to be added to the replay list as well because that was not a PF.
It also did not impact the play. Our guys was sprinting to the end zone way beyond where the flag was. Horrible officiating.

It's already a known fact ESPN producers give them scripts. Utterly pointless to even give it any attention at all.
What the hell were those dirty officiating decisions??!?!!? For the life of me, I can't think of a single call we were 'given' by the refs.
Regardless, Sabin's (or the Gameday writers') call that officiating doesn't explain away a 28 point win ends the argument.

There was only 1 questionable call the whole game and it went against us. How stupid is Kirk?
I don't like our chances last year if we placed Colandrea into TJ Lateef's shoes, with or without the beatings he suffered before those three last games. Honestly the lack of accuracy issue would have really did us in worst imo. That offense was built around a QB with concrete shoes that actually was pretty decent at it. It certainly did no favor for TJ. But the offense we saw on Saturday was nothing like that offense from last year when it came to the strategies. We didn't exactly do much on offense against Ohio until Rule kept pounding the rock down their throats. The Ohio D just kind of gave up mid-3rd quarter.
TJ has a natural feel for pressure and someone taught him where to go once flushed out of the backfield. Even with a bad wheel in those three games he managed to keep many plays alive. TJ wasn't the only reason the team played so mediocre to downright poorly to end the second half of the season.
Herbstreit is playing into my thought that we will be the Nation's darling when we play Indiana.
