Well, if I recollect, and one famous Ohio State coach said, "only three things happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad". OK, taking that in context, that is a 33% "Good" factor. Given that Haskins is at a 70+%, that is over twice the original assertion. That's pretty darn good in my book...….Go Buckeyes. Please work things out before the Michigan game.....Go Bucks!

All things in context. When Woody originally made that statement it was more or less true.

Offensive football has evolved to the point where the passing game has substituted for the running game successfully for the better part of 25-30 years.

Weather is the biggest concern imo.

First run of the 2nd half. People start booing of course.

Count 'em up and tell me what you expected.

7 > 5

a play action slant to either of those slot receivers after the LB's come flying in to stop the run is wide open and an easy pitch and catch.

I am seriously starting to wonder if Meyer is getting back involved in the playcalling and making them run in situations like this?

This is a perfect example of what I was trying to tell @buklpower. That is our spread with 4 WRs on the field and they couldn't get much farther from the numbers to the numbers and what did the Defense do? They still loaded the box.

Yep

gotta make them pay for having a safety 15 yards away from the kind of talent we have in the slot.

Slamming the TB up into 2 unblocked defenders isn't how you do that

Especially with the most underrated aspect of Haskins' game.

The way Haskins sees the field, the defense can pick their poison and he can feed it to them a very high percentage of the time. As we've said repeatedly, we don't care which poison they choose; we have a qb with the field vision, quick release and accuracy to feed them whichever poison they choose. I would like to see them let him do it. He's your quarterback. You gave him the keys to your offense. Let him drive it.

I for one do not know what is wrong with the run game.

That causes me to wonder if the UFM offense run game is predicated on a QB dual run threat?

If so, I would love for them to re-experiment with Tate in there to see if the run game gets better.

If all of the sudden it begins working, then we have our answer. (We don't have a solution, but we have an answer.)

It might work and it might not; but, I'd like to see Ohio State go to a 2 back set (i.e. with both Dobbins and Weber on the field) in 3rd or 4th and 1 or 2 situations so the defense can't key on the one guy (i.e. they know Haskins isn't an effective runner). Another option might be to put Martell in as QB for some of those short yardage situations.
