2022 tOSU Offense

Sort by date Sort by votes
Surprisingly, the Buckeyes actually lead the nation in a couple of meaningful offensive categories.

#1 in yards per play, at 7.42 (only 14th now in yards per game, however)

#1 in scoring offense, at 45.8 (Tennessee next at 45.3)

And if they ranked red zone offense the way they should, using points per possession, the Buckeyes would lead that category over Georgia, at 6.186 to 5.686. Scoring an extra half a point each time is very significant.

But they only rank it by the percentage of scores, so UGA leads .980 to .977, since each team only has one non-scoring possession, and in 8 more RZ attempts UGA has 8 more field goals.

I'm not sure it matters what scheme you use or how many guys there are in the box when your guards both end up 2-3 yards in the backfield.

That's why I posed the question about whether a team can change a blocking scheme mid game. Northwestern DL attacked at an angle and crashed their LBs same which blew up our zone blocking...
like our OL weren't sure who to block while getting blasted from the side... and we didn't adjust

I've never coached o-line, but I'd imagine it's tough to change mid-season, let alone mid-game.

Regardless, Ohio State lost way too many one-on-one battle against Northwestern.

If it were a complete overhaul I'd say you are right but they just need to change assignments. That is also going to be an adjustment but these guys already know how to block and they're great athletes so they just need to have the scheme adjustment because every team is watching how effective NW was stopping the run and others. Use the TE to get the kick outs or wham blocks and send those road graders downhill instead of sideways. We can still zone block it's just a step versus 3 and reaching a guy that is going to slant away from you.

And if they are going to slant that hard the adjustment is usually to ride them and push the defender even further which should open up massive cutback lanes which the backs then have to see and take advantage of.

One of the Xs & Os guys on twitter mentioned that some of the cutback lanes were so obvious but rarely taken that they weren't sure if the RBs were too injured to make the cut. One time Williams tried and slipped. But I agree that there should be many cases in which the OL can wash down the line and the RB can make a cutback to wide open grass. But they have to be healthy and see it. Miyan seems the most capable to do this when healthy, but he tends to try and bounce it out further in the direction that the D is slanted.

Day did some a bit —I’m not really sure tense is the word but there seemed to be a different vibe in his demeanor; perhaps subtle intensity and a little anger perhaps. Am I off there? Something just seemed a little different - maybe irritated with answering questions about the line/performance?

how much of the talk about lacking toughness after last year's game with TTUN also had to do with our OL?

i know the defense got schooled, but i'm now wondering if our OL issues go back to last year?
