Harbough is an incredible coach and I don't know McCarthy is anything special at Ohio State without Harbough.
The biggest loss of all though is losing Dylan Raiola. Raiola looked good throwing with CJ Stroud when he was like 15 and now he is just other level. Three years of Raiola and Jeremiah Smith would have been ridiculous.
All Michigan fans should be Raiola fans at this point.
Raiola would have beat out this QB clown show we have this year as a true freshman pretty easily or Ewers would have won the Heisman this year if on Ohio State.
Borg, there's not alot of Ohio State representation around here these days. You should stick around for the regular season! Yea I was happy to see Raiola not go to Ohio State but then again OSU is always so loaded with talent it almost doesn't matter. That's why I will never claim Michigan is the better program. As long as Ohio State recruits top 3 and we recruit top 15 Ohio State is the CLEAR better program.
I'm not sure what to think about Ohio State's QB situation this year but I really wouldn't be that concerned if I were you. Times are different now. Ohio State literally has the whole season to figure that out cuz 10-2 playoff berth is their worst case scenario with THAT avengers roster.
In the past losing one game could cost you everything as you well know (93,95,96,98,15,21,23). Back then, picking the wrong QB at first or your QB/offense taking too long to figure it out could easily cost you a game and 1 loss was often all it took to sink your battleship. The runway is longer now. By the time Ohio State plays in November they'll be the team they're supposed to be.
That said I don't foresee any problems. I'm projecting this Ohio State team to be the 2nd best Ohio State team in my lifetime. 2019 Ohio State before Justin Fields got banged up is #1. I got them going 16-0 winning it all. I think Michigan will be 8-3 going into The Game with a chance to beat the #1 team and sneak into the playoffs. It won't happen tho. Just hope it's a game in the 4th quarter.
