2025 tOSU Defense Discussion

[pnuts34]

The total rushing yards factors in the 39 yards lost from sacks. So they actually ran for 93 yards. Still not am immense total but not as anemic as it appears in the box score

ok so 25 on the first carry and then 68 yards the rest of the game. not too shabby

Yeah, holding a team who everyone knew HAD to run the ball in order to be any type of competitive is a great feat in my eyes. The only offensive weapons Ped St had was at the RB position, and they have decent OL as well. Not even getting 100yds bodes well for the future, IMO. But some fans skew towards the negative on a constant

It's the video game mentality. If OSU doesn't win 100-0 and allow negative yardage it sucks. Obvious hyperbole but the point remains. And I still get a twinge of it too while I'm watching the games so I'm not preaching to anybody in particular

I can see that. I thought Bucks struggled to get off "blocks" a couple of times.

In the same timeframe how many were called against the Buckeyes? That’s what would scare you. The differential .

All well deserved. Sonny Styles is incredibly underrated, but only because of the guys around him playing so great.

If we get one this year it sure isn't coming against scUM. With the chance of getting another playoff team on the line scUM will get away with murder
