At a glance: 2019 The Ohio State Buckeyes 2019 College Football Schedule

This article is two and a half years old. Is this serious??

And that invalidates the data how?

Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, Clemson, Washington, michigan, LSU, Notre Dame, Georgia, Texas, Penn State, Kentucky, Washington State, Northwestern, Iowa State, Texas A&M, Syracuse, and I'm sure I'm missing some. This is the list of top 25 teams that didn't have to start a backup QB due to injury to the starter.

Dungy started every game? I know he left some due to his shoulder.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

I'm not sure how that refutes what I said.

Plus, that 38% figure doesn't mean 62% of QBs were injured at some point. This past season, half of the playoff teams finished with different QBs due to performance.

Performance is another aspect. It doesn't go for or against my injury point. Injuries are happening at the QB position more and more often in CFB. If your QB is benched because of performance, that's even worse for OSU because who else do you put in?

And that invalidates the data how?

Because it's not the most recent. It also doesn't prove any point. You said assuming a QB will be healthy all year is unlikely, yet it's actually more unlikely that OSU has to start a backup due to injury.

The point being, there's a significant chance of that happening -- that that it's the most likely thing to happen.

He didn't miss any starts. I was wrong about Book though, they did elect to hold him out against FSU to start Wimbush, but obviously that didn't make a difference.

But there's not though.

The overwhelming majority of top 25 teams didn't have a starting QB miss a start due to injury in 2018. Did you know that, or are you just ignoring it to try and push an unfounded agenda?

Is Harbaugh on the hot seat this year?

Nope, scUM is delusional. He never can win the big games or beat Ohio St but that is suitable for him.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

But there's not though.

"An AP analysis of all the Football Bowl Subdivision programs shows that only about 38 percent started the same quarterback in every game last season, whether due to injuries or performance."

Sure, some of that is performance. But some of that is injury. That means that 62% had to play a backup for various reasons at some point throughout the season.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Is Harbaugh on the hot seat this year?

No. 1. Who else would we get that could do better? 2. He's winning a lot of games 3. He just needs to get slightly better and beat OSU to accomplish what we want him to accomplish, made easier by Urban leaving. 4. Firing Harbaugh would likely mean more seasons trying to compete for bowl eligibility, no thank you.

In 2015. OSU wasn't one of those teams. Nor were they in 2016, 2017, or 2018. Again, it also doesn't reflect the idea that QBs are more likely to get injured than not.

Sorry that you are to slow to understand the difference between building something from mediocrity and having a pre-built machine.

Disingenuous statement at best. Truth is you glossed over my posts and didn't internalize what my previous talking points before responding to my comment about Dabo. Sorry you shot from the hip and missed.

You don't need to miss a start to have to rely on a backup QB to win a game....you do realize that, right? A starter can start, get injured and a backup is needed.

Some of you meeeechegan fans really are a special kinda crazy. In 4 years Jimmy Jam hasn't beaten Ohio State. Has a losing record vs. Michigan State & lost to Notre Dame. He's yet to win his division or a conference crown. His team gave up an all time high 62 points vs. Ohio State. He's the only coach in ann arbor to start his career 0-4 vs. the Buckeyes.

If his name wasn't Harbaugh he would have been fired 5 minutes after Florida bitch slapped your team in the Peach Bowl. But, but, but Jimmy Jam just needs even more time to turn things around right?

Cool story. Got info on how many games Top 25 teams relied on a backup to win?

100% fact.

Prediction, OSU goes 9-3 in the regular season next year.

Based on their schedule that would be the absolute worst possible scenario. They essentially have 3 losable games. At Neb, vs. PSU and at Mich. And I'm using losable extremely loosely with the nebraska game.

What about if our starter sucked?

To be fair, Bama did.
