Quick hot take Radio Tua or Haskins?

Tua has the better supporting cast. OSU's reviving core is meh.

Quick hot take Radio Tua or Haskins?

Man... I REALLY REALLY like Haskins. I like Tua, but a lot of what he's doing is the product of an all 5 star supporting cast on offense. I think if you put Haskins in his place you get the same results. I don't know that Tua on Ohio State replicates what he's been doing at Bama. And I think Tua is a STUD. I also think he's a little overrated...Tu'a's a dog though so I won't take anything away from him.

It's gonna be a shame when the next Tosh Lupoi investigation erases him and Najee from the Bama record books.

(LOL as if the NCAA would ever let that happen.)

 

[Verde Shuttles]

I been burned by over praising the first year starting QB before, at the rate he's going I'd take Haskins, just want to see what does down field, next season defenses will adjust but he looks like the number 1 pick in 2020

 

[witnesskb24]

nako xl hey the reports said they were neck and neck lol. You have to also remember Joe is in an ancient offense and doesn’t get the opportunities to show his stuff as much. But yeah Haskins is way better thus far.

As far as Haskins vs Tua, neither has played a legit good team yet. Haskins first real test will be at Penn State this weekend in a white out night game. I thought TCU was a great win but maybe they aren’t as good as I thought or Texas is better than I thought.

But man is it nice to see a QB who is a skilled passer and not having 15 designed runs a game

 

[nako xl]

I think both is true. TCU isn't very good (their QB is turrble) and Texas is better than expected - so much for "chollie left the cupboard bare."

As someone that watched that Texas game it's safe to say (@ThaxbyChamblis dog whistle) that Herman spent the whole offseason and weeks 1&2 repping for SC and TCU and it bit them in the *** with UMD and Tulsa. I have some thoughts about all the delicious home cooking they got the last two weeks from those garbage big12 refs...

Spoiler: *cough* how the uff is this not a safety even after review *cough*

But Texas is definitely better than expected.

Penn State isn't gonna be that big a test for Ohio State. I get that Happy Valley is a tough place to go on the road, especially for Ohio state but PSU's defense hasn't been very good and there's only so long that your offense can be "run the football and hope that Trace McSorley can pull some **** out of his hat" and expect to go undefeated.

Does the 4 game redshirt policy, only apply to true freshman?

Does the 4 game redshirt policy, only apply to true freshman?

For everyone who hasn't already redshirted. It's basically the EA NCAA 2005 redshirt rule finally enacted.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Even before the rule change non freshmen could redshirt. OSU had a LB that RS as a junior a couple years back.

Also Herman's teams were incredibly erratic at Houston as well. He does a good job motivating his team as underdogs, but when he doesn't have that ploy to play his teams come out flat. You normally don't prep for specific teams during fall camp, the problem is cultral.

 

[witnesskb24]

What’s scary about Haskins is technically he could leave after this year for the draft. He’s a redshirt sophomore so 3 years removed from high school. I doubt he will but you never know.

In other news

Cavazos is currently an OSU commit. Which could always change

Going to be interesting to see what happens when Todd Orlando moves on...

They're winning still because their defense has been on point. Offense is still a train wreck.

See the thing about that is...

Stay away

Stay away

Lol I mean if he wants to play with Elias I’m guessing he’s coming out west?

Elias is coming out East fam...well Midwest

 

[riceeeeeeeeee]

Quick hot take Radio Tua or Haskins?

Haskins.
Cant wait for this weeks game......

 

[witnesskb24]

Only thing that concerns me is the secondary giving up those prayer balls to the PSU receivers. I’m not too worried about the rush with Bosa being out. He definitely hurts but they are super deep on the D line.

PSU defense gave up a bit to the Illinois offense and other teams so far so it could be a shootout

Tua Tua Tua

 

[NickFolarin]

Tua or Kyler

 

[MVP]

Tua should win in a landslide, only problem is that he may not play enough cause Bama gone be blowing damn near everyone out.

 

[NickFolarin]

I’m not personally high on Tua for some reason

 

[Bobby Layne]

Tua should win in a landslide, only problem is that he may not play enough cause Bama gone be blowing damn near everyone out.

That's going to help more than it will hurt. The take is going to be "Can you imagine how INSANE his numbers would be if he got to finish games!!!?"

 

[Bobby Layne]

I'm partial to QB's who have the ability to throw on the move and off multiple platforms, so I like Tua more, but Haskins has the bigger arm and the ability to make more of those "wow" throws down the field.

Kid's a gamer like Tua too tho. The aren't too many guys regardless of age who would have went into a OSU-Michigan game with the composure and confidence that he did.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Tua or Kyler

McKenzie Milton is the better 5'9" QB.

 

[nako xl]

McKenzie or Costello?
