Dublin Coffman

happy for Hayes' success, used to live down the street from Willis.

they gotta join the rest of the D1 landscape in COH and kick useless games with traditionally bad programs like Buckeye Valley to the curb.

They aren't seen as any big of recruiters in the wrestling scene these days in COH anymore than, say, Licking Valley.
 
Correct, it's easy to roll up big totals against tomato cans when you are an exceptional athlete

Lol the fact that anyone affiliated with Delaware's program, which I am not, cares what a has been from Dublin thinks is laughable. Just because Coffman is garbage, absolute trash program with even worse fans...Coffman has been relevant in years...Only sport Coffman is good at is Wrestling and that's cuz they have a recruiting budget equal to OSU and kids living with coaches...

Solid troll attempt, except that Coffman just made the regional final last year and Delaware hasn't won a playoff game in 20 years.

Try again?
 
Week 10


Watty - 29 DeSales -

27-24 last year with the Stallions wining in the big upset. Watty comes in undefeated again but with a more impressive run. Watty ins't loisng twice in a row , but 29 is just a bit high.

Watty 33 DeSales 14

Big Nut - 5 Westland -

Westland has improved as time has gone on and has been more impressive than BW at times. Big league title game match-up. Line is sharp and numbers wise this is a tossup really. Westland hasn't bene held under 31 points all year. I think this week could be the first

BW 31 Westland 27

Berlin - 9 Olentangy -

Berlin is more physical , Tangy has some top athletes and is mindful of the special teams advantage Berlin has had over them the last two games [ KO returns Punt returns etc. } Made the line 6.5 . That's enough in a game that will probably be very competitive and the cliched team that makes the least mistakes wins.

Berlin 24 Tangy 19
 
Week 10 cont.

Liberty - 4 at Orange-

Patriots with a chance to grab a piece of the league title with a win here. Orange has the more dynamic offense week in and week out, but Liberty will make it tough for the Pioneers to move it easily. Could be an instant classic. Liberty with the narrow win but Orange covers.

Liberty 27 Orange 24

GPM - 1 at Canal W

Canal been a bit more consistent and should get the win at home and get a nice draw in the play-offs [New Albany a likely first round opponent with a win.

Canal 24 GPM 16


UA - 1 at Davidson

Cats laid an egg vs. Liberty , giving up 3 scores late second quarter . UA bounces back handling Coffman after being hot then, losing to Orange by 8 . UA with a better overall defense by a modest margin gets the close win


UA 23 Davidson 19
 
Week 10 Cont.

Coffman - 13 Bradley.

Jags average about 13-5 points a game. Coffman is scoring about 20 a game. These numbers aren't high enough given the defensives of these teams. Rocks should get over 20 here and Bradley gets to that at most.


Rocks 28 Bradley 17
 
Harry, et al

Went to Davidson-Liberty last week. This game was way better than the score would suggest, and it was also a bizarre first half.

Up until the point that Liberty drew first blood, with ~3 minutes left in the 2Q, probably 96% of Davidson's yardage came on 3rd and long. Cats were something to the tune of 6/8 on 3rd down and long. Davidson went for it on 4th and 1 out of a sweep under the heavy-T, and Liberty ran Gibbon down on the edge. Bricked. Liberty would later score. Next possession, really questionable fumble (from 50 yards and 180 degrees away it looked like an errant attempt at trying to get it out before the sandwich came.) Liberty scores again; ensuing kickoff, loud-as pad hit with the jar balled out. Davidson was under the gun the moment that hit happened. Third quick score before the gun.

What was interesting, this being my third time seeing Liberty this year... they were way more aggressive attacking downfield through the air. Their offense looked pretty transparent vs Berlin and UA, but this was an interesting wrinkle to get inserted in.

Davidson looks like they could represent COH generally well in R2. Liberty, what's understood doesn't need to be explained.

Bizarre ending to the half and unfortunate but Davidson needed to score at some point there in the first half and they are capable of it. Gibbon is an impressive back who has obviously put in the work to get shiftier quicker and faster for that matter. They can throw it some as well with a veteran QB and they have a handful of those throwback, Davidson " tough" guys. Nice team. R-2 is down and has been the weaker region overall but has slid a bit further. If they just had the Olentangy's instead of the Hilliard's the regions 2 and 3 would be closer to each other. Anytime one wants to do a side-by-side comparison of the Delaware and Dublin Coffman sports programs the last say 30 years, I'll be here to discuss the Coffman end of it. Garbage program, pure trash, no one from mighty Delaware would care what trashy Dublin thinks with its awful fans and garbage programs.? Delaware football . Good luck getting that first play-off win since Major league baseball went on strike with 50 games left and there was no post season, OJ Simpson was riding in a white Bronco with a gun supposedly to his head [Bet a large chunk that was false} with his good friend 'This is AC dammit " Cowlings and the World Cup was played in this country. Yes, Delaware athletic programs have bene legendary and dwarf Coffman's achievements over the years no doubt about it. Gloating here isn't necessary. lol
 
Just when you were feeling good about old OSU friend McCord who started off so well at Syracuse, he has a brutal nightmarish first half and made that a box to wire winner for us, but the crux of the matter was Pitt is simply better and was averaging 2.5 yards per play more than the Cuse. 41-13 beatdown nice start to the week.

Rutgers playing a game at 1100 East coast body clock time? USC reeling in it's first year in the Big-10 . Rutgers defense has been pure trash the last few weeks.

UCF off of a few straight losses in varying levels of competitiveness , is a favorite over 11th ranked and living well BYU [Outgained and outplayed in a few ins solid yes, really good? not sure} UCF has incentive to get back in the win column against a ranked opponent in home heat.

Boise St. boat raced UNLV last year and the same cast of characters are back this season, although UNLV has improved more incrementally than Boise, they are still not at the same level as the Broncos. Laying a couple was a go, it is now 3.5 at UNLV but Broncos should win by a TD.

North Texas is a reliable OVER team and doesn't pay as much attention defensively as they do when they have the ball. Made it 72 , it is now up to 68.5 . Tulane should score enough to get it to ? 44- 30?

Navy has played one quality team all year and gave up 650 yards to Memphis. Notre Dame laying less than 2 TD's should score enough here, will they play well enough defensively? Made the line 16.5.

Colorado at 3-4 points or a cheaper ML was a go. Now near or at 7 ? UC will compete but Colorado with all the momentum and will keep chucking it.


Week 10 Cont.

Pick North - 3 Gahanna


Ward out at QB? Last week it mattered little as they ran the ball at will against a lesser defense than this PN squad. PN should cruise withouot Ward but even if he plays? They cover this number. Lions defense has improved.


PN 28 Gahanna 13

Pick Central - 29 Burg

Burg been feisty, PC with little incentive to run them out of the building. Made it 25

PC 38 - Burg 13
 
Anyone who saw Horvath play at Darby knows he single-handedly kept Santagana's career alive probably 5 years longer than it otherwise should have been (not to mention arguments about WingT garbage). He's running the flex-bone for Navy to precision and it's going to be very interesting to see that matchup of strength on strength. Horvath leads the NCAA in rushing efficiency (% of plays resulting in a "success", defined by gaining 50% of yards needed to get a first down/TD or better).

Good write up Dock. I was there too and feel the same way. Liberty was/is the better team no doubt. Davidson fumbled away any slim chance they had of winning. Plus the offense has turned a little too pass happy in some situations. First drive of the game and have a 2nd and 4 at the Liberty 30. 2nd down play = sack. 3rd and long = a longer sack. Next drive they get the ball to the Liberty 15 and fumble it away I think on first down. After they got down by 2 scores, Liberty really pressured the QB the rest of the way and it was all over. Davidson's defense this year is their weakness. The simply will NOT come out of that 3 man DL front and it's killing them IMO. No pressure on the QB. Good opponents seem to run the ball at will against this team. Coffman pretty much ran it at will against them to their right and Davidson rarely stopped it. 5 on 3 at the point of attack is a big advantage for the offense and the back 8 has trouble covering for that. A starting LB was in street clothes last week too. Honestly I figured them for about 6-4 this year. They have won the games they should have and lost the ones they should have. I do not go by Pasteur lines and they were listed as a "favoroite" against Liberty but that was bogus. Anyway they may have a chance against UA tonight. No turnovers. A 4 man DL would be nice but with this stubborn coaching staff, I will believe it when I see it. What I would really like to see is Davidson play Kettering Fairmont in the playoffs. That would be interesting and ironic seeing Davidson playing against a very similar style they used to play that frustrated alot of opponents in White's tenure.

I agree. Horvath is a stud and happy to see him playing so well. The Navy offense has added a few wrinkles to their offense and would not be surprised if they give ND alot of trouble.

What was really weird about that game, too, off the bat was Davidson had boned themselves on the opening kick by fielding it at, what, their own 3-yard line with the kid having his foot out of bounds. Liberty seemed prime to fire a kill right then and there, and Davidson got out of it.

One silver lining is DiBlasio doesn’t seem to give up. The 30-point rule was nigh, and with their backs against the wall he got out of a safety situation by remembering to just get the ball over the line.

Davidson doesn’t appear to have the personnel to run that 3-man. Not like Liberty. Not like Orange for that matter. Good call, brother.

Yeah that opening kickoff was ugly. This coaching staff concerns me with any lack of adjustment on the 3 man front. You have to try and pressure the QB and contain the run. If you get beat long sometimes, so be it but you are at least giving your kids a chance. Do something different at this point. I do not blame the kids at all. It's a coaching scheme and it reminds me of last years stubbornness on offense when they kept running Gibbons into a wall of defenders out of that pistol formation about 80 percent of the time.
 
Rocks with a big win and really good chance to win next week vs. Play-off nubie Westland who lost an instant classic vs BW. Can the Rocks outscore the Comets? They will have to most likely. DeSales even with their new first time OC could only score once and their average against good teams is under 2 TD's and they had issues even with Crabtree the long time awful offensive coach not in the play-calling realm anymore. Last year the Stallions scored ? 27 , so a 20 point drop with better personnel . Ripley's believe it or not how they could not match last year's output with a brilliant play-caller endorsed by resident experts here. He knew how to run it up against tomato cans , so there is that.

Have and have nots with little to zero parity it seems is the theme of these times in CO. Big blowouts, huge spreads that are often covered and only a smal handful of really interesting match-ups with the top 10-15 percent of teams. Westland I have as a 4 point favorite over the Rocks . Under Over is 60. Rocks can win a 35- 31 type game? They also are capable of losing 38 - 31 . Should be a good one as Westland hosts a play-off game with a lot of speed and more talent than the Rocks for the first time ever? A few of those Comets turn the corner or get a crease? Rocks defenders won't catch them. Have to win right at the point of attack and not let those guys get going.

Gahanna defense gets it done as PN enters the bad time of year as they usually underachieve. [ 4 turnovers?} Week 12 match-up with PC? Liberty with another statement win? Wow. Berlin with a rock em sock em robots win over Tangy? UA with an old school OCC central 14-10 final. Happy for long time Coffman DC Crager who was at times mocked as a nice man who wasn't a very good coach along with Crabtree by the usual North Columbus resident suspect. Well it turns out he can coach a bit. The previous 20 year Coffman run he was a big part of for a large portion of that two decades was a very solid DC and he is doing a good job overall so far in his new position.

UCONN has been an interesting team with some mixed results backing them but Rice may be in a bad spot here and laying less than a TD was a go with the Huskies play. Troy has been a good against team and a great UNDER season win total team[Pitt is the antithesis of this as I had them struggling a bit this year} Ark St. laying a TD is a fair price and I expect them to handle Troy by a couple scores. Utah State now laying a couple points was getting 3 at first number and was a play. I still like them laying a couple to get the win at downtrodden Wyoming.

Mizzou getting the 17.5 at Bama off of the news that their QB won't play is a popular side, I like the total to go over 50 in this one as Bama cans core at least into the mid to late 30's against this class and Mizzou can get a few things done against the worst Bama defense since?

Eastern Michigan all the way to 2.5 now is the call at Akron. Line was 6 at open. Arbitrage is likely here and I think EMU gets the W in a close contest. Miss State getting 7.5 was nice price vs. Arkansas and the Bulldogs have bene playing very well the last few weeks against quality opponents losing but covering. I think they can win this one and getting the TD and hook I think is a good way to go.
 
Very nice end to an up and down day with Colorado , Hawaii and Fresno cruising. So an UP day and week overall and the biggest bets with Boise covering by a couple points over UNLV and that bad total posted in the North Texas Tulane game flying over easily. Notre Dame brought Navy back down to mid major reality and that also went over for us. Miami Dolphins at 3 was a big play to beat the Cardinals who basically never put back to back wins together. Dolphins season is today. They should win by 10-14 points here.


Chargers - 7 over the depleted Saints and Chiefs -9 is a great teaser leg and the Chiefs to win by 14-17 after last Christmas day disaster vs. LV, and the taunting of Mahomes who has in fact been underwhelming this season even as the Chiefs are undefeated [Kermit the frog voice and other barbs, will infuriate the competitive Mahomes along with the XMAS excrement performance last year. Chiefs 34- 13 ?

Teaser legs are ripe this week with Dogs Philly + 2.5 and Tampa Bay + 2.5 getting up to 8.5 and favs Baltimore - 8.5 down to 2.5 to beat down the Brownies and Detroit to lay one on the Titans by a few scores at - 11 down under a TD .

Louie has his lines out for the first round of the play-offs. Westland he has at 5 where I had it at 4 is interesting and almost a sure take the points with the Rocks. 5 of the 8 are larger spreads in that region and one that I like is the Jerome CC's getting 18 vs Springboro. Wayne only laying 9 to Middletown is interesting because just a few years ago the line in this match-up would be huge. I made it Wayne - 12 so the Warriors will likely be a play as well .

In region 3 7 of the 8 matchups have spreads of 15 + with 4 OVER 30 points and only ONE with a single digit spread. Berlin - 9 over Grove City. Money grab 16 team regions will present like this. 12 team would be optimum IMO , with bye's present for the worthy. 16 is just too many. Wining a game or two to make the play-offs? Orange - 16 over Olentangy is too large a number [ made it 10} and the Braves should feel disrespected by the Wooster Math professor. I see a somewhat competitive game with Orange making a few more plays.

NFL totals that look ripe Pitt - Giants at 36.5 is a bit low, and I like the rookie QB's to put up some points against the defenses that are not as capable of keeping up in the Commanders- Bears tilt [44}

Unfortunately, I forgot to warn you about Canal being prone to clock management issues.

I had to leave before the game got under the 4 minutes remaining mark, so I wasn't able to witness what happened at the end (I know time expired on them, but IDK what actually happened there.)

With a ~minute left before halftime, Canal got the ball down to GM's 7. Two timeouts in pocket, and a fresh set of downs. End result? A field goal on third down.
 
Week 11 or what is also known as the make up the lost revenue from the COVID season money grab round. Worst year in the more than a decade going against the Louie Line [Also Cal preps at times} This comes a year after my best year ever . Never had a bad week last year at all. Usually at a bit over 60 percent and solidly higher than that last season but struggled this year going at a tad over 52 percent. Looking a bit more closely at it, there were definitely more close losses [bad beats} than the converse. It happens. Not having the same access to digital scout and some key stats on a regular basis has shown itself to be an issue

R-3 Second round will be epic. R-2 shows Westland as the three seed. Nuff said. The region has always been disrespected but some years it wasn't far off from R-3 , but now with the mighty Olentangy's gone? It's like taking out the onions and mushrooms from a Cheesesteak. It's just a lot mediocrity and flawed football teams. Centerville is pretty good and Fairmont is a tough team to play with their style. The next 5 best teams including local Davidson is a group of 20 somethings to 30 in the Pasteur rankings. Springfield isn't the same but needs to be respected obviously with their penchant for winning at this time of year.

Week 11

Davidson - 33 Marysville-

Monarchs have definitely improved the second half of the season, beating Jerome YOTW and Darby . Nothing earth shattering about this but the overall level of play and offensive improvement is real. Davidson walked over this team 43-0 earlier in the season. 33 is a a large nut .

Davidson 38 Marysville 10


Wayne - 9 Middletown -

Could be a competitive game but the line looks a little short.

Give me your odds of Stokes returning.
 
OSU - PSU total opened at 48 [Got 47 } and is now 45. UNDER is in play as both teams have defenses with some advantages over the offenses. OSU O-line is reeling a bit, they aren't running the ball effectively and I think their defense is still elite despite Burke having an all time nightmare type game at Oregon. 23- 17 type game with OSU likely winning . Laying 3.

UTSA has a terrible defense , even giving up 46 to lower output Tulsa. Ouch. Gave up a big lead and lost. Memphis could score as many here and UTSA can score themselves. 60 was too low. Game should get into the low 70's.
 
Week 11 cont.

Springfield - 27 Bradley


Jags are playing a handful of Frosh. They have a Soph. QB , they will be better next year and the year after? Watch out. This match-up isn't great for them however. 27 is some heavy lumber , but the Jags will have trouble scoring against this defense. Narrow cover for the Cats

Springfield 35 Jags 7


Springboro - 18 Jerome

Country Clubbers can be sneaky close here. S-Boro doesn't score a ton of points . Take out the Beavercreek shellacking [38-0} and the last 4 games they averaged less than 10 per game. They will score more than that vs. the Country Clubbers , but the Celtics should cover this .


S-Boro 22 Jerome 13
 
Clemson has improved a ton since that embarrassing second half debacle vs. Georgia. They are rolling offensively, and are a tough team to stop now. Louisville defense is leaky many weeks. Clemson off of the bye can start smelling a possible play-off berth. Games on the road vs VA Tech and Pitt loom the next two weeks . They won’t stumble here laying 10


Week 11 cont.

Orange -16. Olentangy

Worst and most unfair harbin pairing . No reward for Orange for having the good season they had . Made this line about half of this largesse.


Orange 23 Olentangy 20
 
Digital Scout is deeply, deeply missed. The GMC does a great job of collecting stats and having their schools post them on a website, too bad this is not required. https://gmcsports.com/confStandings.aspx?sat=5

Jerome is a complete enigma, the team that played Berlin and Tangy wouldn't lose to Marysville or WVSouth, it wouldn't even be close. They seem to be playing their best ball these last 3 games, just have no idea what to expect with former FAVC heavyweight Springboro.

Also give me the Rocks over Westland and PSU +4 over OSU
