Did anyone figure out what the tSUN defense was "trying" to do, with too many players lined up on the wrong side of the field?

Disease dick completely blew that play from the beginning
He has late and out of position getting over to fill for the guy who blitzed inside, then panicked/is a dumb fuck and tried to take contain which left a big seam for Samuel to cut back into. DD also took out his own guy, who was actually supposed to be the outside force on that play, in his zeal to get out of position.
He sure is fast though.

OHIO STATE COULD START A TRUE FRESHMAN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR THE SECOND-STRAIGHT SEASON
It's a rare thing for a true freshman to earn a starting spot his first year on major college football team, and it's nearly impossible for one to earn a starting spot on the offensive line, but last season that's exactly what happened at Ohio State.
After Jacoby Boren's departure following the 2015 season, Pat Elflein shifted to center position leaving a void at the guard position. There were a number of candidates expected to make a run at the starting spot – Matt Burrell, Demetrius Knox and Evan Lisle, just to name a few – but ultimately it was true freshman Michael Jordan who earned the spot, beating out a slew of more experienced players.
"Michael is only the second one of my career that I've ever had (do) that," Urban Meyer said at his press conference Monday afternoon. "Maurkice Pouncey and Mike Jordan can come in here and start right away."
Pouncey, of course, was drafted by the Steelers with the No. 18 overall pick following his playing career at Florida and is a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro. That's pretty good company for Jordan, and it speaks to just how rare it is for a true freshman to get the starting nod on the offensive line.

You Be The Coach: Ohio State’s Starting Right Guard
Football season is officially upon us! Tony is probably huddled in the corner of the Woody somewhere wondering where life went wrong, Urban Meyer is praying someone parks in his spot again, Larry Johnson is wondering where he is going to play 14 future NFL defensive linemen, and Kerry Coombs is probably on his 27th mile as a warm-up before practice.
I mean seriously, who has it better than us? Definitely not you Michigan. Damn, it feels good to be a Buckeye!
With fall practice officially starting up, we at the-Ozone have given you the complete power to make Urban Meyer’s life a lot easier. You are going to “decide” who should win each positional battle. One by one, we’ll go through the positional groups and pick the winner. First up, we’re going to look at the vacant right guard spot where apparently seven players are still in the mix.

OHIO STATE COACHES CONFIDENT INEXPERIENCED RECEIVERS WILL STEP UP
It’s reasonable to be skeptical about Ohio State’s wide receivers.
The Buckeyes weren’t particularly good at the position last year. Even if they had been, the Buckeyes’ three most productive receivers from last season – Curtis Samuel, Noah Brown and Dontre Wilson – have all moved on to the professional ranks.
That means Ohio State will be relying on a group of wide receivers that either barely saw the field last season or barely produced when they were on the field – on an offense that could have used their help.
Even so, Ohio State’s coaches are expressing confidence that their inexperienced group of players at the position will step up.
Head coach Urban Meyer’s confidence comes from the work ethic those wide receivers have shown.
"It's one of the best groups we've ever had culturally," Meyer said Monday. "There’s zero issues. I mean, it's just show up, go to work, be at your body weight and give your very best. They are unproven, but those kind of players usually turn out to have very good careers."
Those wide receivers need to prove they can translate that hard work into making plays on the football field, but the talent should be there; the Buckeyes have nine wide receivers on their roster who were four-star recruits.
Ultimately, new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson would like to have eight wide receivers ready to play, but the Buckeyes first need to make sure they have at least three.
Redshirt sophomore K.J. Hill, who had 18 receptions for 262 yards last season, is Ohio State’s leading returning wide receiver. None of Ohio State’s other returning wide receivers had more than Parris Campbell’s 13 catches for 121 yards last year. Yet as Meyer and offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson have talked up some of Ohio State’s other wide receivers since last week’s Big Ten Media Days, early indications are Hill might not even be among the Buckeyes’ starting wideouts.

Honestly I think our best outside weapon will be Johnny Dixon. I'm going to just wait and see with the rest of the group though.
Mack and Victor really need to step up and take the reigns though because they have the size as well as the pure WR background to make a difference. I'm anxious to see what we have at WR.
I'm skeptical of Parris only because we have been waiting for two previous seasons for him to break through but he just hasn't done that yet.

HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE CAN A NEW COORDINATOR REALLY MAKE?
Kevin Wilson, in his first year as Ohio State's offensive coordinator, will be tasked with making sure J.T. Barrett, Mike Weber and co. make improvements on the offensive side of the ball in the coming season.
A year ago today, Kevin Wilson was gearing up for another season at the helm of the Indiana Hoosiers football program. Today, he's switched up the hue of red on his shirt and hat and is part of Urban Meyer's staff that has hopes as high as any team for a national championship in the coming season.
And, as any fan who paid attention to the offense last year, he's going to be expected to help out in a big way.
With the team's two leading receivers from last year gone, needing an offensive guard spot to be filled and just the need for overall improvement on the offensive side of the ball to keep up with the rest of the NCAA, Kevin Wilson will certainly have his hands full.
But how much can a new coordinator really help a team out? Especially a program that is already a national championship contender year in and year out?
Well, you won't even have to turn your eyes to another school to find out just what a new coordinator can do.
Hearken back to the 2013 season. Braxton Miller was still a quarterback, and a Big Ten offensive player of the year caliber one at that. Tom Herman, Texas' new head coach, was in charge of the offense, the offensive line had four seniors holding up the fort and the defense was anchored by players like Ryan Shazier, Bradley Roby, Michael Bennett and Noah Spence.
The team began the season 12-0 before suffering a heartbreaking loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game and then a 40-35 loss at the hands of Clemson in the Orange Bowl.
Not the worst loss to Clemson you can recall, I'm sure, but a bowl game loss nonetheless.
But even as the team succeeded greatly (despite the sputtering finish to the season), one glaring hole seemed to exist on the team: the secondary.
Bradley Roby, C.J. Barnett and Christian Bryant anchored the group, and they were all fine players in their own right, but of the three, only Roby was a first-round draft pick, Bryant was a seventh-round pick and Barnett went undrafted. In contrast with last season, three players from the secondary were selected in the first round alone.
To compete with college football's finest, the Bucks needed an improvement in the secondary. And where did they turn to find that improvement? Arkansas defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach Chris Ash.
The holes in Ohio State's secondary at the end of the 2013 season may have been shown by Clemson's Sammy Watkins who set a new Orange Bowl record with 227 receiving yards en route to being named the MVP. Ash certainly had a tall task in fixing Ohio State's secondary.
And that he did, and in only one season, no less.

OHIO STATE'S DEEP BALL STRUGGLES AREN'T NECESSARILY DUE TO THE LACK OF A DEEP THREAT RECEIVER
When Devin Smith wore a Buckeye uniform, it seemed he was a home run threat every time he touched the field.
The speedster averaged averaged over 20 yards a catch during his career at Ohio State, including over 28 yards a catch during the 2014 season. That season, he had an eye-popping 11 catches for over 40 yards.
Since his departure, the Buckeyes haven't been able to replicate that sort of production from any of their receivers, leading many to believe the team simply lacked a deep threat. However, the problem is a little more complex than that, according to wide receivers coach Zach Smith.
Smith said the absence of a consistent deep ball is not necessarily reflective of one particular unit's failure or the absence of one particular type of athlete, but of the state of the offense as a whole.
"It’s never been a guy issue, it’s been an offensive issue,” Smith said.
According to Smith, the team has had the personnel, but a number of things have kept the Buckeyes from connecting deep with consistency, be it offensive line play, miscommunication, a poor throw or the receiver failing to get open.

Unproven Receivers Confident In Bringing Swagger Back to OSU Offense
There are so many unknowns in the Ohio State offense, especially when it comes to the receiving unit. It is an unproven group, and yet it is about to be extremely involved in a Buckeye offense that will move to a more up-tempo pace under Kevin Wilson.
There was a lot of talk last year about the lack of production from Ohio State’s offense, specifically a lack of excitement from the receivers. Now, the Buckeyes have an emphasis on being “all gold everything” and bringing swagger back to the offense and Zone 6.
The group looks vastly different now, as Noah Brown, Dontre Wilson, and Curtis Samuel all left after last year to enter the NFL Draft. Ohio State added three wideouts in the 2017 class to bolster a unit looking for reinforcements.
The most-experienced returning players we saw making plays on the field last season include Terry McLaurin, who had 11 receptions for 114 yards; Parris Campbell, who tallied 13 receptions for 121 yards; and K.J. Hill, who finished the season with 18 catches for 262 yards.
Last year, the unit did not have the production that head coach Urban Meyer wanted. They are going to have to get better this season in order for the entire offense to reach its full potential. Members of Zone 6 have confidence that this year will be different.
“The mentality, the attitude, I feel like that’s back,” said McLaurin. “That starts with Coach Meyer, Coach Wilson, Coach Day, Coach Smith, and down to me and Parris and Johnnie as leaders. I feel like that attitude is back. Every ball that’s in the air, we want it and we gotta have it. I just feel like that swagger, that attitude, that flavor is back.”

I also think Munford running with 1s is interesting as far as depth. Either Urban is playing some of his famous mind games, or the young'in has passed up some vets already.
I think we may have a leader for RG, IMO. I know it's one practice, but he's been my sleeper to win the job all along. He would be the 5th best OL overall, IMO, and like we all know its much easier to move OT to OG.

No doubt Malcolm will win this spot. Honestly if Knox/Burrell couldn't keep a true freshman from taking the LG spot last year how did they expect to keep someone as seasoned as Malcolm from claiming the RG spot this year?
That's great for Munford to be making a move but to me that means the staff is pretty disappointed with what was brought in the past few classes (particularly the 15 OL class)
SO pumped to hear that the offense out played our defense today though. Last year the defense said they basically toyed with our offense so its just damn refreshing to hear things have changed.
This is also with a very veteran defense front 7 as well!
