What Smith didn't do at Pittsburg has absolutely nothing to do with what he IS doing at Ohio State. Putting players in the right position to win IS the job of a coach. Calling the right plays with the right schemes is part of that process.

Well that's an oversimplification. Obviously the play caller is calling the TD plays. He's also calling the plays that don't work. So what is he doing that specifically gives him credit for these TDs at the end of the half? Especially when we all know the phrase "win the middle 8" from before his time here.

Another year, same SEC bias. 10 SEC teams ranked, SEC beating up on each other, OSU would go 9-3 in the SEC, bla bla. Doesn’t matter nearly as much anymore! We won it all that year and the scales have tipped with NIL and transfer portal. I do enjoy the SEC rivalries and I enjoy the SEC Big 10 beef. The GA v Bama game was a fantastic game. We just have to be aware that ESPN is pumping their product and leave it at that.

One of the things we need to improve on is 3rd down conversions. 4th down conversions has been really good, but still struggling a bit on 3rd down. This would go a long way in keeping the Hoosiers on their heels.

We’ve actually been pretty good on third down. We are 37th overall. Indiana is very good at 13th.

We’ve just been streaky. We were lights out for 3 quarters vs Texas and then ran cold. We were outstanding vs Iowa and then terrible vs Maryland.

There’s many things that go into games like this. Some are always constant.

1. Don’t turn the ball over.
2. Don’t hurt yourself with penalties
3. Win the LOS

With the pass rush of IU we have got to beat this team physically IMO. Sure take your shots to JJ but we need to 2023 TCUN these guys (minus the cheating). Just physically dominate them. You limit the turnovers categorically, you shorten the game, and you wear the other team out.

To be honest I’m worried about the stupidness we have run into lately with OSU in these games. The penalties, the missed chances to bury a team, the turnovers, and of course the missed field goals. That’s what I’m worried about.

I think we can run on these guys. For once I’d like to see OSU come out and physically dominate a team instead of use the Air Force. There will be moments to take shots but if we can just lean on them it’ll go an enormous way for a victory,
