2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Still think that INT is on Sayin.
Smith is placing himself in position to block for the yac, not for the guy to head straight up field for an INT. The defender wasn’t even heading towards Inniss.
Obvious, this was something that Miami saw on film.

I put it on Day for calling that play in that situation. Why are you going sideways in a compressed area of the field? You just had a game altering play, keep on the attack vertically. It’s on the coaches to put the players in a position to succeed.

We really seemed to avoid short slants this year for some reason

And they worked every time we ran it. No one can cover JJ on that quick slant. That was good defensive coaching and a Day tendency they knew

Not only that both him and Tate had the speed to turn that into a a much bigger play

Maybe? Does it matter? The refs threw like two flags the entire game.

Sayin getting sacked right away on a play where 2 guys just ran past the blockers essentially unimpeded was the worst thing that coulda happened, after seeing that I'm sure that was in his head and significant effected everything.

It's not a Physicality issue with the OL like the DFBIA would be screaming....it's a skill and athleticism issue, they are plenty physical but any kind of athleticism just killed them with stunts and speed rushes.....Cryami and Indiana made it look like our guys were playing in quicksand

So get the play in quicker and snap the ball quicker so that the DL can't run stunts.

The Buckeyes ran exactly ONE drive with any amount of tempo. Bain and the other DL guy were on the sideline sucking air. The Canes called Timeout. The Buckeyes scored.

I'm taking personal responsibility. Momentary loss of concentration when the phone rang.
