Don't worry about Maize -- he is just going overboard after not having the chance to say much for the last decade. Personally -- I think OSU hasn't missed a beat on offense with Day on board. It is the other side of the ball that has big issues, and simply bringing in new coaches or using a different scheme isn't going to change it much. They just don't have the game changers they've had for so many years. They don't have a Joey Bosa, a Nick Bosa, a Chase Young, a Tyquan Lewis, a Sam Hubbard, etc. at DE. They don't have a lockdown CB they have had every year for the past decade. There is no Marshawn Lattimore, Jeff Okudah, Denzel Ward, Eli Apple, Bradley Roby, Gareon Conley, Damon Arnette.
The Buckeye defense lacks elite playmakers. The offense is STACKED WITH THEM. Against the vast majority of teams, that is all OSU needs, but if they want to win a title -- they are going to need much more than what they have there now.
