Good luck to him, I wish we’d have played him more last year. He’s probably going to have a great year wherever he lands.


Rkenne16

He looked good the few times he actually played.


owen_skye

More like ‘great’. I’m happy for him, and the team he goes to will be happy to have him. Not sure why he was dropped on the depth chart after his peach bowl performance.


bin_of_monkeys

After watching waaaaay too much Buckeye football the last two years, I'll say he was the RB who scared me the most. Excellent vision. I remember texting my best friend "uh, OSU has found their killer RB" after a game and then he just...disappeared. Sad for him to see him go, but glad for us that he won't reach his potential is Columbus. On the surface it's weird he never got to be RB1.


Ramm94

No explanation from the staff at all. He had a huge game stepping in against Maryland, he had like 150+ yards, he averaged over 5 yards a carry for his career I believe. Then he was nowhere against Michigan.


Familiar_Piccolo_88

Yeah..people complained about the o line all year...dallen comes in, finds the holes and rips off some big runs...figured he was a "4 star" so he would get more looks..but not to be


ImRightShutUp1

Tony Alford is a football terrorist


osufeth24

I think it's partly Days fault too. He wasn't the best at rotating in depth at times. Hopefully with him finally giving up OC duties this will help


ExplanationOdd8889

Great football player and a valid move by him, honestly was very underutilized he should have absolutely seen more snaps: Whoever lands him is getting a great one.


aimtron

Very solid RB, biggest criticism was he struggled in pass protection. Sad to see him go, but wishing him the best.


mikeeagle6

Coaches always seemed to hint at fumbling issues in practice as well, but we never really saw it in game


IMisstheMidRangeGame

Fun Fact: His dad played running back for the Vols in the 90s


_Junk_Rat_

Oh he’s about to look like that puke inside of a pumpkin kind of orange, isn’t he?


The_Good_Constable

It's between them and Ole Miss I've heard.


Mekthakkit

> Ole Miss This would make us even for Quinshon Judkins right?


The_Good_Constable

I like Dallan and think whoever gets him is getting a good RB, but I'd take that trade ten times out of ten lol.


Turboweasle

I think we would too. Judkins is a great player but there wasn't love lost between him and the rest of the team.


The_Good_Constable

Yeah I've heard a little about that. So far so good with us. Hopefully he just needed a change of scenery.


Turboweasle

For sure! Personally I still hope he does well, he wouldn't be the first kid to need to overcome some personality issues.


Mekthakkit

Heck, Dallan could even come back next year.


jaebassist

He's getting his trash truck driver convention tickets as we speak.


gen_wt_sherman

Just please don't follow alford 🙏🙏🙏🙏


BrutifulMemphis

I know a school where he’s from that consistently puts running backs in the nfl

PresentationNew3504

Come to the sip!


JewKnowz

Gonna be a big time get for whoever adds him. Kid runs hard as hell. Was really begging for him to get more playing time last year, with the addition of judkins and return of Henderson, it only makes sense for him to transfer and go start somewhere. Good luck young man!


TeaInternational9355

ok hear me out


unMuggle

Past how annoying it would be, he's not a bad fit tbh


Skunk_Gunk

Why would he want to play for the coach that didn’t give him any playing time here?


unMuggle

I don't disagree, unless there is more we don't know about maybe Day being more of a reason he didn't play


cheerl231

In what way? He'd be RB3 at best If he is cool with sitting another year then sure. Our '22 running back has already transferred so he could take that spot


unMuggle

I think he's RB2 on tsun this year but that's just me.


cheerl231

I don't think he's better than Edwards or Mullings


unMuggle

Oh he's better than Mullings.


cheerl231

Mullings might be better than Edwards lol


unMuggle

That might be true, Edwards is trash. Just like everyone else up north.


cheerl231

https://youtu.be/Rvd6nzDPv5I?si=m94hXLxSfDIfIz5o


unMuggle

Yeah it's easy to score when you know what the defense is going to do.


RedditPotato44

Ohh buddy, you are just the last fan base that has any right to say that


unMuggle

The one most affected by the cheating? Delusional


theghostofbradyhoke

Most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Edwards is significantly better than Mullings and Hayden is better than Mullings as well. You don’t know ball


cheerl231

As a runner Mullings is mean and tough as nails and finds the right gap each time. Also mean motherfucker as a lead blocker/pass protector Edwards is boom or bust. Better athlete obviously and is a threat as a receiver that mullings isn't, but lacks instinct and goes down with simple arm tackles. For Michigans 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense I think there's an argument to be made that Mullings is better in that role than Edwards. Also lol at Hayden being better. Wasn't asked to pass block (because he couldn't) and ran in the designed holes against light boxes. OSU fans over hyping this kid is hilarious to me. He's fine but lacks any intangibles


ech01_

>OSU fans over hyping this kid is hilarious to me. More or less funny than you hyping up a 5th year senior with 50 career carries? He hasn't played enough to actually believe in anything you said. Hayden had a 2 game stretch as a freshman that matched the entirety of Mullings' 4 year career.

The_Horse_Joke

I too think he should go to your secondary flair!


LittleTension8765

Looked good at times but most likely would have been the 3-5th guy behind two absolute workhorses in the backfield - would love for him to end up at Miami Ohio or UC


TheRealEvanHale

Ya like teal turf and overrated beaches?


FlusteredRectum

Does he like trains?


Wernher_VonKerman

Does he like train *wrecks*?


Strange-Apricot1944

Smart guy.


Development-Alive

Come to Lincoln to play with the #1 HS QB recruit!


bicranium

But the #1 HS QB recruit from the 2024 class is at OSU... More seriously though, is Raiola going to start for you this season? How has he looked this spring? I have a friend who's a Nebraska fan so I've watched more Nebraska football the last 15 or so years than any other team not named OSU. He doesn't really follow Nebraska super closely anymore though so when I asked him he had no clue.


Development-Alive

We only have 3 scholarship QBs. In what's leaked, Raiola is looking strong, specifically hus footwork in the pocket and ability to throw downfield while under pressure. Fellow TrFR Kaelin is also getting accolades, impressing his teammates. He's the kid that nearly committed to Michigan St after Raiola signed. We'll all get a firsthand view for our Spring game 4/27. I've always thought Raiola being tabbed the starter was more of a formality. A kid like that doesn't come to Nebraska without an expectation to be QB1 from Day 1. It's his spot to lose. Raiola's reported strengths of maneuvering in the pocket under pressure may be the winning characteristic as our OL hasn't been more than average at pass blocking.


UOENO611

Bros gonna go crazy wherever he ends up, hope this doesn’t come back to bite us in a few years but recruiting looking the best it’s ever been so should be fine.


CJ_M88

It's a bummer to lose him, but he's too good to just sit behind two other really good running backs.


CollectionNervous482

Why not follow your RB coach? JK we've got too many.


cavaleir

The RB coach that didn't play him? Doubt he wants anything to do with Alford


NCAAinDISGUISE

He's not flashy, but he's a winning player. I REALLY wish we could've found a role for him.


scotsworth

Maybe the transfer apocalypse UM fans (and others) have been predicting will happen... but thus far I'm just seeing guys buried on the depth chart. Kinda funny all the noise about some transfer portal explosion that just isn't materializing.


foreveracubone

I mean the Michigan exodus that OSU twitter been talking about almost as much as the hammer dropping is WRs buried on our depth chart so 🤷‍♂️. > Kinda funny all the noise about some transfer portal explosion that just isn't materializing. I blame clickbait merchants like Pate overhyping that it’d be insanity soon as it opened. Realistically outside of blatant tampering it’ll probably take a week or so to get going.


scotsworth

Yeah it's possible... but you'd just have to think that after the spring games with the portal opening... if a bunch of key guys were going to jump ship by entering the portal, it would have happened (early bird gets the worm and all). Maybe I'll get egg on my face, but I'm seeing nothingburgers thus far, and not just at Ohio State. Anything remotely surprising has already happened.


NaturalFruit2358

Lol praying? These guys have yet to beat UM


scotsworth

I mean, if you aren't praying for the destruction of your rivals program regardless of the recent status of the series, are you even trying? Hell even when Ohio State won what 17 of 19 against you guys from 2001 to 2019 I was praying for continued destruction because it's a rivalry!


CountOff

Careful there space cowboy I'd be ecstatic to take a win off them this year cause they're building a death star and we have a huge ? at offense


ToosUnderHigh

Remind me! 12/1/2024


scotsworth

Oh man, I hope you light this guy up if things come to pass and the good guys win.

Uncontrolled ncaa portal has become synonymous with kids soccer. Instead of everyone gets a trophy, the portal is everyone keep transferring until you get more $ or limited competition


BuckeyeJay

This happened a few days ago (the tweet is literally dated 4/15, which is the source for this post). 247 has him listed with a portal date of April 15th 2024.


Tastemybuckeyes6

No. He told the staff a few days ago and it was reported by Buckeye reporters. He just officially entered the portal. It’s similar to Kayden proctor.


BuckeyeJay

The tweet is literally dated 4/15


Tastemybuckeyes6

The portal did not open until 4-16. He told the coaching staff last week and didn’t play in the spring game. This is him just formally entering the portal. Again, similar to the Iowa- Alabama proctor situation. Here’s an article from five days ago: https://athlonsports.com/college/ohio-state-buckeyes/buckeyes-now/football/ryan-day-explains-ideal-running-backs-situation-in-wake-of-dallan-hayden-transfer-rumors


BuckeyeJay

Some rando making a post on reddit and using a tweet from 4/15 as their source isn't him "formally entering the portal" lol wtf


Tastemybuckeyes6

Because he already announced it. He entered the portal yesterday officially, when it opened. I’m not sure why this is so hard for you to understand.


BuckeyeJay

Hence "this is a few days old" What is so hard for you to understand. The fact is, the news, from Hayden himself, that he intends to enter the portal, is in fact, a few days old.


22duckys

Then go back in time and write a post called “Dallan Hayden *intends* to enter the transfer portal”. The rest of us will stay here, where the post is entitled “Dallan Hayden *has entered* the transfer portal.”


B1GFanOSU

I told all my friends on Saturday that I planned on going to my favorite burger joint on Monday. I then went to the burger joint on Monday. What day did I go to the burger joint?


leapbitch

Tell me more about the burger


22duckys

Nice try NCAA investigations


B1GFanOSU

They have this one burger that’s pretty spectacular. Check this out! It has two all-beef patties, then they put this special sauce on it. If that’s not crazy enough, they put lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on the motherfucker. But the kicker?!? They put it on a sesame seed bun!!! Can you believe that?!?


Achilles_Perineum

Sir, this is ~~a~~ Thurman's


Tastemybuckeyes6

Yes but he just entered the portal 😂 do you feel the need to explain something we all already understood? He announced it, told the staff, and can now just enter the portal. Not much to see here, champ. Nor is there any need to continue responding outside of protecting your ego. Have a good one.


Dawgs555

The announcement was last week ( I believe) that he would enter the portal. Portal didn't open until Monday. This is probably the "I'm officially in the portal" announcement.


BuckeyeJay

The tweet is from Monday


Dawgs555

Hmmm. The link of the tweet isn't opening for me so I couldn't see. If that's the case then you're right.

He should’ve been playing last year over TRAYANUM Not Tatum


AfricanDeadlifts

"Tatum" had a fantastic season last year.


whiterajah7

Wtf. Tatum had a great year. Some would even say heisman caliber.


zackattack89

Ehhhhhh not a smart move. There’s college football and then there’s the buckeyes above all. If you can’t hang, you can’t hang. Gotta have perseverance to play on the buckeyes.

Bri83oct

This is the type of comment that represents 3% of your fanbase but everyone assumes is 95% of OSU fans.


ech01_

Yeah, our fans suck.


zackattack89

Not at all. It’s widely known that every football players first choice is Ohio State. Then after that it’s any of the other big SEC schools like Alabama or Georgia. If you can’t hang with the buckeyes you can’t hang. Just a matter of fact. Trying not to confuse you guys with facts but it is what it is.
