I think last season was very humbling for the football team. All of that preseason praise, and hype and then the letdown against a team that we should've beaten left us out of an NC that should've been defended by us. "Stay hungry" goes hand in hand with the Land of the Wolves theme of the season. And I'm sure that Meyer and staff tell the team how disrespected they are constantly

Oh no doubt. I have full faith that Urban and company will keep this young team focused and hungry.

I'm just chuckling as the middle aged outsider thinking of Urban pulling the Lollygagger treatment on them after they score 70 offensive points.

"We had the ball 12 times and you guys only scored 10 touchdowns!!??? What the fuck is wrong with you??!!!" ....chair goes flying off a wall

LOL...

UFM: "10 TDs out of 12 possessions. How'd we ever score 10?"

MM: "It's a miracle!"

Weber and Samuel the Thunder and Lightning for the Buckeyes

ThunderLightWide.jpg


The "Thunder and Lightning" analogy in football parlance is a common one and it is used to describe a team with a pair of running backs of differing characteristics. The "thunder" is the more powerful of the backs, while the "lightning" is the guy with the speed.

For the Buckeyes, their thunder is redshirt freshman Mike Weber (5-10 212) and the lightning is junior Curtis Samuel (5-11 197). Together, they will provide the barometer for the on-field success of the Ohio State offense.

"Curtis Samuel, he’s really dynamic," Weber explained. "I’m more of the thunder, he’s more of the lightning. So we’re a good one-two punch and we’re going to make a lot of plays."

Weber showed early on last week how he likes to run as how plowed through a Bowling Green defender and then lowered his shoulder to take on another tackler.

"That’s how I run the ball mostly all the time," he said. "I impose my will on defenses so they can fold in the fourth quarter. I really just run hard. That’s my motto right now."

The value of having two backs with different skill sets keeps a defense from getting used to what they are seeing. To delve into the baseball realm, any batter can catch up with a 100-mph fastball if that's all they ever see. It's the changing of the speeds and locations which makes that 100-mph fastball so unhittable.

The same is true with the thunder and the lightning.

"It gives defenses different looks," Weber said. "I come in here right up the middle and run really hard. Then Curtis comes in and makes some moves and gets around the edge. Defenses get tired of that."

{Pumps brakes furiously} Wait, what? Come on. It was one game against BG. I understand that you're a teenager and you ran for 136 yards, but you also repeatedly got tripped up like a toddler learning to walk. "I impose my will on defenses so they can fold in the fourth quarter." What? No, you don't. I hope you will, but not yet you don't. They're White and Bush after a MAC win? White and Bush? I can appreciate the enthusiasm, but seeing that in print has to drive the staff crazy.

Later in the article, he said "we can get there."

He knows there's work to do. Calm down.

I know he's worked really hard to get the start and had a good first game. I'm not discounting that. Way over the top rhetoric this week, however, even without the USC references.

He's a freshman starting in his first game, I think he's a little excited. Calm down. College kids make comparisons all the time, can they be over the top? Yes! He's still a kid.

Tear away shoelaces are the answer. Or no shoelaces. It has been done before.

3 new starters on the line... haha

My God this freight train has lost all its breaks with no chance of slowing down in the next 10 years.

Guys they'll only get better and if we can retain our best players after this year next year's team will be more stacked then even the 2015 Buckeyes with Braxton.

Then the 2017 class refills the ranks lol... just disgusting what we have.

I'm watching Oklahoma and at first I say "this is going to Weber for sure" because that is what tOSU would have done the last 4 years. Then I thought "maybe not, you have Noah out there". The ball is then handed to Samuel for a TD run. I think to myself, "this will be one hard offense to stop because you never know where the ball is going."

Oklahoma crapped the bed on that TD. They had to see on tape that we ran the same play to Wilson on 4th and 1. I thought it was a bad call the first time and just to prove that I don't know anything, W&B ran it again with Samuel for a touchdown. :)
