“I think this era of player just doesn’t love football” by Kirk Herbstreit this morning is a typical old guard insult.
A new generation gains knowledge and power, and as a result the old guard questions its heart.
I think this era of analyst just doesn’t love football players.

Dwayne Haskins, a rare Buckeye:

Dwayne Haskins was a transformational, aspirational, unforgettable Buckeye. His self-confidence was a joy to be around. He helped change the foundation of Ohio State football. He lived his Buckeye dream. And he could sling it. What a terrible loss.

If you make the argument $ is the reason the Big Ten is allowing Ohio State to play in the title game, without noting OSU is the only undefeated team, won the head-to-head vs. the 2nd-place team, and would be in if it lost this week, you are either cynically disingenuous or dense

Jarvis Landry is why Ohio State's Brian Hartline doesn't wish his receivers good luck. "Ever since then, I don’t wish luck. I agree with him. Don’t tell me to be lucky. Tell me to be great. You’re right. We worked our tails off. Go be great.”

The thing about this offense we think is dead -- Browns blocked Aaron Donald, got Jarvis Landry open and had a QB stand in and rip a middle of the field throw for a 27-yard gain on 3rd-and-15 in the final 2 minutes to keep hope alive against a Super Bowl team. Upside still there
