ouch

Michalski failed as a pass blocker and run blocker. He was far worse in the former than the latter, allowing four pressures, two hurries and two sacks in 21 pass-blocking snaps — good for a 14.2 grade from Pro Football Focus. That number ranked dead last among Ohio State’s starters, following Josh Fryar (77.7), Donovan Jackson (75), Seth McLaughlin (68.8) and Tegra Tshabola (36.3).

I'm surprised to see Jackson and McLaughlin with such good numbers. It seemed the Nebby interior was eating our lunch all day.
I think it's somewhat an aberration as they haven't played that poorly in previous games. PSU will be a challenge as they have some great edge rushers and we don't even know who our LT will be.

So, why was our game plan vs. Nebraska so vanilla?
Very light on RPO. No misdirection. Mostly zone blocking.
Doesn't match our strengths.

I think a variety of reasons.

The offensive line was a new combination for one but I think Nebraska deserves credit. They bounced back and players with some fire. They only missed 3 tackles and more importantly their formation gave Kelly/Day fits. It seemed like we had no clue how to attack the 3-3-5. Normally if you have someone as a liability on the offensive line it’s best to run the ball.

So I think Nebraska played well, their scheme gave us trouble, and the game plan was the worst of the year by a while. This game was up there with some of the duds of all time for sure. I hope that the coaches just do what’s working. If that’s 100% pass then who cares if we are scorching earth. Wins matter and that’s it. Who cares what we rush for if we lose. Hopefully Day/Kelly pass to set up the run going forward because Smith/Egbuka need more then 3 touches a game.

Btw anyone notice we are again only playing 3 players at WR?

I'm inclined to agree with Zach Boren's post-Nebraska comments. We're seeing more of the same this year. Talent, but no fire, no grit. That's going to get us beat in the CFB, if not before. This team has talent such that it COULD run the table, I think we're just as or more likely to drop two of three against State Penn, the Mellencamps, and scum. Lots of horsepower, no torque.

I have it in good authority that this doesn’t matter…

I thought Innis would be in more and maybe Ballard and Antwi. But in the bigger/close games, I think we are sticking with Smith/Egbuka/Tate because they are our clear top 3 and the most dependable when a game is tight.

On the bright side we shouldn’t have to set aside much for NIL for the WR room. Why we continuously bring in 4-5 WRs every year is beyond me. We don’t play anyone.

I have to say, I’m very tired of the talk from the people at Ohio State. There’s always talk about being motivated, wanting to finish the job, wanting to rotate players far more since the season is longer, wanting to be aggressive, wanting to be physical, blah blah blah.

This is football. If you’re talking about effort and being physical then you’ve already lost. Those are earmarks that it takes to win football games when it matters the most. These are things that are a given and you can’t talk yourself into it. You either have it or you don’t.

It doesn’t get done with “tough love” banners in the facility and it surely doesn’t get done by repeating the same mistakes year after year.

When push comes to shove vs great teams we just revert to this odd panic type mentality instead of sticking to the plan. Obviously the Mike Tyson quote comes to mind when I think of our staff. It’s true though, when we get punched hard we struggle to throw an equal punch back which is confusing (UGA game aside).
