How good is Cam Miller? Will this finally be his year?

Two years ago Jaxson Dart abused Miller in the Peach Bowl. Last year he fell down to give up an easy game tying TD to ND.

Former Ohio State DC Jim Knowles giving away Buckeyes intel is infuriating

Now that he's getting ready to run the defense for James Franklin and Penn State, it looks like former Ohio State football defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is

Nothing new here, but the same details spun from Buckeyes media.

Kinda lame take. Ohio State has a new DC. They mistreated the old one even though he fixed their biggest weakness. Now they're mad that he's sharing his philosophy with the new team. Such an entitled fanbase and media. Maybe they're a little worried. So far no Belichick assistant has been all that successful in the college ranks other than at getting hired, underperforming and getting paid. Maybe Patricia will be the exception, but I wouldn't count on it.

Agree. And Non-compete clauses are no longer enforceable.

I think he is a big upgrade from Allen. I don't think Allen was bad but he was a step back from Manny.

Generally, though, tell Franklin he's supposed to win and he does.

Correct. So this year, we pretty much should win all but Ohio St and we probably should be a coin toss with them on a neutral field. We could run the table as the most complete and experienced team.

But some will always point to Franklin very rarely winning the big game. And they have a point. For example, I was there last year when we somehow managed to give ND the win while running all over them. I don't know how we did that. But there is no way they were the better team.
