Before the A&M game, Fletcher had 141 carries for 685 yards on the season.

Previous 2 games

Vs Pitt 10 carries 30 yards
Vs Va Tech 6 carries 19 yards

His 3 100 yard games of the regular season came against South Florida (G5), Florida (76th in Rushing YPG allowed) and Stanford

I don't get this thinking that he's been some all world back this year. He had a great game against A&M but that seems to be an outlier rather than the rule for him.

I think the post 1st round win has made the Miami fan base go full retard. My Miami buddy hasn’t stopped talking since their game ended. He’s so confident that Miami will win and any and all logic has been thrown out of the window for him and their fanbase as a whole. Many are even saying that the ACC is the best conference now. I can just laugh, December 31st can’t come soon enough

A big frustration of the fans watching has been the amount of 13 and 14 personnel that Ohio State has played. Particularly against Indiana, the Buckeyes took Jeremiah Smithand Carnell Tate off the field a few times in favor of the “jumbo tight end sets”.

I am told that the staff took a “long and hard look in the mirror” following the loss to IU and agreed with that sentiment that the 13/14 “isn’t the way to go”. That’s not to say Ohio State will completely get rid of that scheme, but from what I have gathered, it’s not going to be the “go to” or viewed as “the fix” to the red-zone/short-yardage struggles.

I’d expect to see Ohio State change things up a bit and maybe have some new wrinkles when they take the field against Miami on December 31 and find themselves in similar situations.

In terms of defensive efficiency against the run, OSU 5th, TAMU 15th so yeah, big difference.

Nothing changes in my mind, you go get 28-35 points on your 10-12 possessions, take away time so they get 8-10 possessions and the majority of those playing from behind and you'll win. It's simple, not easy.

Miami needs things to happen (turnovers, sack, penalties, short fields from ST, busted coverages) OSU just needs to execute.

Their rush defense was worse than the numbers indicate.

They gave up over 200 yards rushing FOUR times over the season and almost did so again vs Miami. Texas AM is the definition of a team feasting on bad teams.

OSU gave up over 100 only 3 times for perspective with one of those 3 games being exactly 100 yards (which included two runs totally over 50 yards).

OSU was consistently the same defense every week giving up roughly 60-90 yards and I’d venture to guess it’ll be the same for this game too.

This kind of reminds me of OSU before the Game game. There were 3 clear offensive weapons that OSU had to stop(QB, RB and WR). Not only does OSU need to throw Beck off, but they need to early and often pressure Toney and throw him off of his routes. If OSU can get up early, force Beck to beat you and it will neutralize Fletcher.
Also, OsU is in no way aTm with their rush defense:
Tex Am - 38th (127 YPG)
Ohio State - 6th (84 YPG)

Re Klare: he hasn’t really blown anyone’s hair back this year. I would be kind of surprised if he left tbh.

Spot on. He’s likely holding out hope that he can get some big catches in the playoffs and a 5-7th round draft grade. Likely not going to happen, needs to stick around another year and work himself into a day 2 draftee.
