Probably the only team ever to give up 3 TD passes of 60+ yards to the same player in a game. I'd also guess that 73.7 ypc for a game is probably a record, too. :lol:

our secondary lacks two things each member knowing and having confidence in their assignment and the BIGGEST THING a leader who is confident in his assignment and knows everybody's assignment. Someone others can look to when they might be uncertain about a formation or defensive call. We need that big time. We are so young that everyone is just a little uncertain ..which slows you that one step you need.

Bell just got beat on a great play by Moore.
Powell may have had his worse game as a Buckeye. He got caught looking and lost Moore completely.
But, a lot of the big plays are probably a correctable issue.
Moore did disappear after an adjustment on defense. I think they backed off the corners.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing as much as adding an insight.
When both Safeties are shadowing wide receivers that go to the sidelines which leaves the center Wide-Ass-Open, then that screams scheme to me.

I don't disagree but did they make the wrong read or were supposed to leave the middle open...I just don't see a cohesive unit the last two years either by scheme or playing together.. do your job don't over do.

When I see it happen twice on TD throws, I just have to believe that it's not just a coincidence. Tuberville's OC saw the Safety Assignments and exploited it.

So BnE' was at a wedding last night. A wedding I was promised would have 3 things. Single bridemaids, and open bar, and a TV. Strangely enough I was more concerned with the last 2 of that list.

Sadly there was no TV. Not even that little mandatory small screen where you can just peak your head in and check the scores. Plus the reception hall, while very beautiful, did not let me have the greatest data use on my phone.

A recap of last night would be very, very kind. Especially since I love my defense. The highs, the lows. The young pups, Kwon, the secondary. You know? - that sort of thing.

The pass D did make some adjustments but I'm not sold yet. Another test next week in a hostile environment but if the O can keep scoring then that makes many teams one dimensional and that makes life easier on the defense.

The worst one was right before the half..that one cannot happen. A 10yd pass means noting there.

Yes, that was a bad scheme. Apple was on an island, with no safety help in the middle of the field. Basically the only way UC hurts OSU in that position (ball on its own 17 yard line with under a minute to play) is on a long bomb. There's no excuse for not having a safety playing deep in that situation.

Play 1 was a bang bang play on a safety, and pretty strong coverage for that position. I'd like to see him tackle him after the play but you can't hope for much better coverage that far downfield from a safety.

Play 2 was a lousy scheme. Only time that was the problem from what I recall.

Play 3 was a great playcall by UC to take advantage of a scheme. The usually solid Doran jumped the underneath route (I believe with a pump from Kiel) and it was off to the races. That's the risk of this scheme.



Still a big improvement overall from last year and still a long ways to go to reach where they want and need to be.

So, they scored on a 60 yard pass, 83 yard pass, 78 yard pass, and off of a fumble. I didn't see the game, were those broken pass coverage, or was it tight coverage and we lost the one on one battle? Don't tell me we were in a freaking zone.
