    Don’t fall for this bs. I’ve been thru the 3rd quarter. There are 3 plays in which Jesse chirped up. The first deep throw to Wingo. If you watch closely, you’ll see one WR had 3 bodies near him, Baxter was covered, another WR with two guys on him. Wingo had single coverage, got knocked off his route then did who knows what. The second one showed Livingstone getting knocked off his route so him hitting him off the break became pretty difficult. The third was a miss, but he got a completion. And we scored that drive. Theres been a hyper focus on this for whatever reason.. Nussmeier I’d wager, once again, is turning down open opportunities down the field but not much criticism. Penalties and drops were far more impactful.

    What exactly do you mean here?

    It’s almost like you’re taunting me with this initial line. I have read one guy lost us the game. From my seat, we had a prove it moment twice inside the 10. Sark put us into position to fail on the sneak. Then 3rd and 3. I’m generally of the opinion that if you’re going on 4th at that distance, you go run on 3rd. Yeah, yeah missed pass. Again, those are prove it moments for the Oline. And really a perfect game and venue to do it. And not to mention, the team would likely be pumped for Baxter in his return to the field to slam one home.

    Well sure just like any player would. It is easier to think a call through than to think a play thru then deliver physically. That is probably a common denominator for any game. There are plays that leave points on the table due to lack of execution.

    Most of this is true. But Sark also pissed away a 4th and half a yard. This after controlling the OSU line on that drive and progressing from the 9 to the half yard line in 3 plays. That is the singular worst play of the game. The pick may have been the second worst. Poor choice by Arch but Sark had his ass handed to him on that one too. The hold was hurtful. We had the OSU front a bit compromised after the 15-play drive. This sequence was probably the most underappreciated one of the game. On the Wingo slant, that route has to contend with a safety. I think there’s room, but there’s less contention on the route he chose.

    The counter was kicking them short. The ideal solution is to have a second guy back. Unless you like the kamikazee return specialist.

    The 3rd and 5 on the last possession. It’s not a great throw, but Wingo’s reaction is delayed and odd. He leaves his feet.
  8. Here for the Wins
    I don’t that’s a substantially different result. Maybe the TE gets the first, but we progress done the field anyway.
  9. Here for the Wins
    That was on Wingo. Feel free to stop your game when the ball is released. There’s ample time to adjust yet he never does.

    The run game was positive, but there were no big plays, few broken tackles. It was not threatening enough to cause an adjustment to OSUs defensive gameplan.
  11. Here for the Wins
    This is stupid Sark right here. Complete stupidity.
  12. Here for the Wins
    If people don’t block, you will lose yards occasionally. You may even adjust your game by virtue of that.

    Don’t drink too much. Barry Sanders does not rush for a million yards at OSU and Detroit unless he knows how to hit the hole.

    I’d be curious to see any analysis that proves or even slightly substantiates that depth wins over the starters. For example, the OSU had 10 starters on defense that logged 65% or more of their defensive snaps. They undoubtedly had some missed time for injuries and most definitely some garbage time snaps. Offensively, they have 7 guys. That doesn’t includes Simmons and McLaughlin, lost to season ending injuries, or their replacements. Now, you have the TE and two highly drafted RBs who were not included. I would wager that non-garbage time plays has little usage of backups. Texas is a bit different and this year may prove differently. Injuries are the largest factor in the depth chart coming into play, and beyond one or two guys going out it is very difficult to overcome multiple injuries. Ohio State had two once the season started but were buoyed by tons of game experience.

    You’ve been fairly well spoiled at many positions. And with that you have many guys that look as good because of their surroundings when only 10% of your opponents can match you physically.
  16. Here for the Wins
    Consider yourself lucky. Back then I wanted to gain but couldn’t. Now it’s completely the opposite.
  17. Here for the Wins
    Point taken. But again your best guy was not a second unit guy. Neither was your other tackle. I’m not certain why we played a guy at less 100%, but it bit us in the end. You previously referenced out playing our Oline. That likely played a part. The screen pass was good execution on your part, poor recognition on ours more so than our play call. Then our attempt at tackle was poor and took out a secondary tackler.
  18. Here for the Wins
    Ok. You won in spite of one guy.
  19. Here for the Wins
    I tend to agree. Sark has gone 4-wide with a TE as part of that. We will see how Endries fits in with that. Based on what I’ve seen earlier, at least last year, yall go to Man defense more than we do. I previously mentioned our variability. I think that’s our approach to coverage - mix it up and allow flexibility. So is Burke national championship caliber or not? He won one so he must be. But it’s almost like are saying he’s not good enough or not OSU good.
  20. Here for the Wins
    They’d probably get them both on the field.
  21. Here for the Wins
    Yes, the injured guy at RT. Horrible play call? What did we call? Point being, the two most impactful plays of the game leading to your victory were score with limited oline impact.

    Welcome to Big 10 where 4 wides is not a thing.

    Agreed on the first sentence. But dominating is another level of discussion. It looks like you broke off some long runs in those but otherwise pedestrian. The question would arise as to whether a broken tackle happened to create those. Pff is looking at every player on every play. Who won, who lost individual battles. In theory your Oline can do poorly yet you score. But congrats on your Oline for that Sawyer strip sack. I guess they did ok on that Henderson screen.
  24. Here for the Wins
    If you’re like most fans, you don’t focus on the Oline but merely choose to do so on select plays. Domination likely occurs when you’re not looking. Your Tackle was your best guy then the other Tackle was generally more consistent than some of the others. You do realize it is rare to have such highly drafted RBs in the same backfield, right? Maybe helps the Oline. Notre Dame was down maybe their two best DTs. The others weren’t overly talented. Indiana? Come on. There’s a reason Texas was a more difficult game. And again Goosby sat in there with 100,000 Aggies on a line with multiple high draft picks and a former Big 10 badass pass rusher and did fine. But you won’t count that.

    Downs has 4 career interceptions and 6 PBUs. His strength is in his all around game. But those numbers are limited and I believe the puck versus us was garbage time.
