Won’t let them shift or slant as much.

 

[bukIpower]

Yes. Part of their style on defense is to play a lot of people. They'll fake injuries to substitute, but tempo will mitigate the substitutions.

Problem for them is we play more people... so fuck them. Let them sub and then physically beat their subs.

for weeks you said you wanted Clemson and that OSU would boat race them. after watching them the last few weeks...I agree.

“That wasn’t the gameplan” has been replaying in my head repeatedly.

Or "Dumbo Swine-y"...

I'll have to say that "Dumbo" is more family friendly, but then......."Dildo" is absolutely priceless!

Not true. Clemson plays more players per game than anyone in the country. Know your opponent.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Tackles in pass protection. They need to clean that up. The offensive line also hasn't handled the delayed blitzes well. Fields takes too many hits. Partly his fault and partly breakdowns in protection.

This isn't a point of weakness or domination. Just a note.

This year's staff has blown away any other group of coaches regarding half-time adjustments. I'd never been calmer than when the Buckeyes were down by two scores going into half time. Just knew that the coaches' adjustments were going to be on point. And they were.

Where has Clemson killed us the first two times? Up front.

They don't have the DL or the OL they have had the past few seasons.

So as long as we don't do something stupid like abandon the run or not adjust on defense we will finally beat these guys.

I doubt we crush them like I'd said all year but I'm confident we will win.

We have the secondary to slow their skill down and we have the DL to rush Blonde. Wear them down and take their soul.

 

[Onebuckfan]

It’s been good the adjustments. I am waiting another game before I remove Hafley and Mattison’s Black Stripe. Cepheus and Coan in that first half looked like Lawrence and Higguns.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

My biggest weakness?

I don’t suffer fools.

 

[colobuck79]

My biggest weakness was mixing beer, red wine, tequila and brandy before, during and after the Wisconsin game. I knew better, but did it anyway.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Can't lie, I was expecting this when I opened this thread. LOL

My weakness Buckeye Planet too much time on my hands since retiring in September and done helping a farmer neighbor since scUM week.
