There's a Party at the Quarterback and Everybody's Invited

PartyQB.jpg


When you're in college, Saturdays are for partying, that's just how it is. There are some parties, however, that you don't want to be invited to, especially if you're the quarterback facing Ohio State's 'Rushmen' package.

The Rushmen package is, of course, the OSU nickel package featuring defensive ends Tyquan Lewis, Jalyn Holmes, Nick Bosa, and Sam Hubbard all lined up together, and it proved incredibly effective Saturday night in Madison, Wisconsin.

Each of the Rushmen tallied a sack against Badger quarterback Alex Hornibrook and they combined for 11 tackles and six tackles for loss. They also closed the game out with a walk-off sack, with all four members meeting at the quarterback simultaneously.

Technically, Tyquan Lewis got to Hornibrook first, but they all could have very well arrived in the same car.

How and why did this happen? Because the invitations said to be prompt.

"It’s a party," Jalyn Holmes said on Monday. "We just say it’s a party to the quarterback. Whoever gets there first, gets there first. It’s a race and we just celebrate when we get there."

The difference between a normal party and a Rushmen party, however, is that a Rushmen invitation RSVPs you.

"That nickel package was pretty impressive today," Sam Hubbard said after the game early Sunday morning. "We were getting there all day. The leader of the D-line got there and we were all pretty close right behind, I’m really proud of him and just really happy we got the win. I can’t really describe this feeling we’ve got right now."

The feeling that Hubbard was unable to describe could probably just be summed up as pure joy. Leading up to that play, however, each of the Rushmen knew that the game had just been placed in their hands when the Badgers were stopped on third down in overtime.

"Me, Sam, Nick and Tyquan looked at each other like, ‘The game is on us now,’" Holmes recalled. "So you never know what coverage is and stuff like that, but I felt like the coverage had our back and we just rushed as fast as we could and we got there in time and it just ended the game."

PSU reciever said Michigan has a better and bigger defense.

Personally I agree with him and I don't feel slighted that he said that.

We are much better on offense tho so it equals out

Bigger maybe but not better. Michigan has played one offense in the Top 50 in Colorado and they were shredding them until their QB went down. Michigan won't face another Top 50 offense until Indiana.

OSU's opponents really seem to enjoy giving the Buckeyes bulletin board material.

It's definitely more of a point of emphasis this year with the refs, and the flagged moment was undeniable (you can't block the ref from signaling with your face, Coach). Where it was harsh was the previous game (IU?) where they were flagged without a warning.

There's always an assistant who is assigned to keep the head coach on a leash and reel him back in, but in previous years, they were allowed some latitude. This year they are a lot more flag happy.

POE = Opportunity for any fucking jack ass official in any sport to stroke his flag. Just because something is a POE doesn't mean it needs to draw a flag. You can, and I've seen plenty good officials, emphasize a point without flagging. Especially when we're talking about a situation that really doesn't put anyone in harms way.

OHIO STATE'S 'RUSHMEN' PACKAGE PRODUCING BIG-TIME RESULTS, PLENTY OF 'PARTIES TO THE QUARTERBACK'

75509_h.jpg,qitok=xFH2k-S_.pagespeed.ce.tWOAUwK-aP.jpg


With Wisconsin facing a 4th-and-goal from the 4-yard line and the game on the line, Badgers quarterback Alex Hornibrook received the snap then dropped back to pass. Hornibrook took a three-step drop out of the shotgun, looked to his right and raised his arm to throw before quickly pulling the ball down.

There was no way he could get the pass off. Ohio State’s defensive line was right in his face.

Buckeyes redshirt junior defensive end Tyquan Lewis was the one credited with the sack, but in reality, all four of Ohio State’s defensive linemen were lying on top of Hornibrook when the play ended. The Buckeyes got pressure from every angle.

That happens quite often with Ohio State’s ‘Rushmen’ package and this was only the latest example.

“It’s a party,” said defensive end Jalyn Holmes, who slides inside to play defensive tackle when the Buckeyes make the call. “That’s what we just say, ‘A party to the quarterback’ and we just celebrate when we get there.”
