I'm very intrigued to see our pace of play. I think we will look a lot closer to the slower more physical side based on Ford's preference and the bigger lineup.
Sounds like if we can shut down the run and prevent the big plays, we should be able to pull of this one. Would be huge momentum swing going into the homecoming game 2-3 vs 1-4
Road trips are extremely taxing especially on college players. Seems to affect them a lot more than the pros. Even teams like Ohio State have been nerfed going west to face Washington and Oregon
It's definitely growth but not in the traditional sense. Gotta find a new metric to measure "growth" cause year to year growth won't quite make as much sense as it used too. Maybe a percentage of students in Ohio? Something like that
Two straight years in the green. The goal is to maintain and stop the shrinking as we enter a generation of less college aged students every year due to birth rates. Every year in the green is a great step for the university even if it's only a growth of a few dozen.

Feel like we always talk about the fan experience on here. So, this will be interesting to see how it turns out.
