Jim Bollman (Stay calm and run Dave)

Jim Tressel and Mark Dantonio hired him. I trust their opinion more than yours. His philosophy may bore you, but having an offense that limits mistakes and places extreme importance on field position has been winning games and championships since the game was invented.

Also, I know it's hip and cool to pretend Bolls was all that was wrong with tOSU football, but forty fucking Daves in a row last sat and tOSU is playing for the NC after physically and mentally breaking the nation's #1 D with an OL that Bollman recruited.

I sadly agree with this but the bolded would not have performed as well as the one we saw that night. Dave would have worked but not under his tutelage.

I don't know. Maybe a couple more false start flags. Maybe twenty uncalled holds. But I think the result would have been a win.

No, sparty would have been permitted to defend a ten yard square instead of worrying about constraints and misdirection.

What we saw on Saturday was what happens when a bollman coached line isn't hamstrung by his uncreative playcalling and presnap reads of the play based on personnel.

Had cook been hurt, we may have been treated to a third and super long speed option with maxwell.

And still would have won the game due to a suffocating D and an offense that didn't make many mistakes. I'm not saying one way is clearly superior. I am saying I prefer the former to the current.

Seriously? I mean... maybe 40 daves in a row wins us that game Saturday but if you think we're undefeated heading into last saturday running that offense, well... agree to disagree
