The thing about bold predictions is you either hit homers or strikeout. Let's all get together and laugh at my bold prediction whiffs for Ohio State's 2021 football season.

If you've been around 11W for a few years, you know I come with some bold predictions for the season during fall camp, then I take my medicine once the season is over as most of the predictions fail to pan out.

Ruckert did finish with 26 catches in 12 games and of course I projected him playing 15 games based on my prediction below that Ohio State would make the CFP championship game. Unfortunately, the four other guys with at least 20 carries - Master Teague , C.J. Stroud , Evan Pryor and Marcus Crowley - averaged a combined 4.67 yards per carry. Even if you take out Stroud's -0.6 average, the trio of tailbacks clocked in at a pedestrian 5.25 per try.

AT LEAST FOUR DEFENSIVE ENDS WILL RECORD AT LEAST FOUR SACKS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN RECORDED SCHOOL HISTORY I felt like even though Kerry Coombs and company would be counting on mostly the same guys - excepting Shaun Wade's departure - another year of seasoning and the fact they'd have full spring and fall camps would give the secondary a boost.

How many times has Martell swung and missed? Looks like Davis, The Safety, was the 2nd Best Transfer and that IF he had stayed he might have turned into quite a good player for Rhe Buckeyes: Kudos to him and Williams for their success!!! Is this a sign of bad recruiting for OSU? If these guys can't be studs at mid to lower tier schools how were they ever going to be good here?
