Game Thread #1 Texas at #2/#3 tOSU, Sat. Aug. 30th, 12pm ET, FOX

Overall not what I expected, but OSU dictated the game and didn’t have to open up much. I like the way they got Smith the ball. Texas keyed on and stifled the run, but Donaldson got tough yards and I think the OL did well while being outnumbered. Few, if any plays where the RB wasn’t able to at least get back to LOS.

Plenty to improve on, but Sayin looked much sharper than Manning and he’ll be able to sling it when needed. Very excited to see the improvement through the season.

giving up, what 130 ground yards? Luckily Arch was bad, because there were some passes there that just got missed. I think the defense was more lucky than good at times. Got the job done when needed, but plenty of room to see improvement. We pressured the kid maybe 3 times all game?

They played mostly a base vanilla D. Maybe they kept it at that by design when it was clear early that our secondary was locked in and Arch wasn't making throws.

the vast majority of those rushing yards came between the Texas 30 and the Ohio State 40. Give or take.

It looked like the gameplan was to sit back and confuse Manning. The run defense needs improvement but they were happy to give them the run especially after getting the lead.

They also weren’t aggressive rushing knowing that Manning can run. It was a great game plan and executed well, especially in game 1.

UT didn't throw downfield for the vast majority of the game because of the coverage. First downfield throw was intercepted.
