Justin Frye at one point of the season was UNIVERSALLY Charged, Tried by the OSU fanbase and sentenced to public Beheading. The tiny minority while upset realized the story of the OL is not FINISHED until the last game of the season has played out THEN and ONLY then can a fair-minded individual speak of how things progressed and improved or it DIDN'T.
What has gone on these games in the CFP is how well a very young OL is playing. NO it is not perfect by any stretch but HOLY COW is the potential there for this group to be special next season. Jackson is gone along with Frayer and the early portal season has seen OSU doing very well with transfer. The potential of the OL being rock solid OL... Julian Sayin is primed to seize the job. IT WILL NOT BE JUST HANDED to him. IF he is NOT ready Day can AND WILL go into the portal. This is about BUSINESS its not a for fun sport any longer. Its man up and step up or your not ready. OSU is going to do what is best for the PROGRAM and TEAM. How you handle that is a YOU thing. You can chase the bag of cash or you can put your nose to the grind stone and learn from someone who is ACES at QB development. Day has NO EQUAL in developing guys Howard is going to leave OSU as a FAR better draft prospect than when he arrived in Columbus
