We had 2,594 passing yards this year, not 2,954. And Gulbranson had only 1,455. Luton had 2,714 on his own in 2019. Luton also threw for 28 TD’s. Gulbranson had 9. No comparison. It's sort of an apples and oranges comparison. Luton threw more largely because OSU was either trailing or needed to score fast to keep pace because the D sucked. He also didn't have a stable of RBs to score 38 TDs. He's also way better than Nolan/Gulbranson. But to your point...I agree Smith would open the offense up if he had a better QB and receiving corp. But I also think he learned, the college football world for that matter, that with a dominating Oline and and quality stable of RBs...you can flat out dominate a follege football game and relieve pressure on your D at same time. What OSU accomplished this year we just haven't seen much in college football in recent years. It was literally the opposite of Chip Kelly/Air Raid/Tempo offense-first football. And it was glorious lol Luton when it clicked for him, as a senior, was better than Gulbranson 2022. As a junior he’d throw the fastball when a change up was required, he was a mess on a bad, bad team. We shall see where that compares to Gulbranson 2023 with a year farther removed from shoulder surgery and 2/3 of a season of experience. Or we have a better QB and the team is in an even better spot. |

No link but my child said they read the Clemson guy is coming here. If that’s official, that’s a pretty strong addition. He is big and strong and a good runner as well. Could be a good one to allow Aidan to get settled in and on the weights a bit. He was highly-touted as the heir to Trevor Lawrence, and a 5-star QB coming out of high school. Expectations through the roof, and he was inconsistent, but he’s a real talent. Sometimes new scenery can be really good for a player. That would another interesting side story for next year’s Civil War with DJ’s stud little brother signing with the Ducks. |

DJ's little brother gets tired of being on the little sister team down south so enters the portal next year to join his brother in Corvallis!
