Game Thread Akron at tOSU, Sat. Aug. 31, 3:30pm ET, CBS

Case in point of not understanding.

How many Dline is Akron playing? Do you know what a zone blocking scheme is? And how many linebackers are shooting gaps, especially on already occupied O-linemen?

Get back to me when you got the answers. It's a simple adjustment and Kelly will make it. Relax.

So they are selling out to stop the run yet somehow, miraculously, locked on to our receiver fairly solid. Our guys may be stronger than Akron guys but we can’t tell that just yet.

Not even a bit. At least it’s good practice for the D to have to stay disciplined against all this nonsense they are throwing out there.

Good point.

 

[Nati-Toledo Bucks]

Hey fellas no complaints on the offensive line please..run game will get it together today and the rest of the season. Go bucks

 

[Bestbuck36]

Seriously need to bring pressure about 75% of the time with the DBs we have.

As I said, relax.

When you send 7 or 8 you are in man to man. That's when having superior receivers matters.

All that Judkins talk and 32 is out there finding space.

Ain’t no replacement for speed baby.

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

Nice run for 32

This is a benefit…

Moorhead is a good offensive mind (similar to Kevin Wilson) and he clearly saw something wrong with the flats in our defense.

Thanks for telling us where to improve Joe.

He also was co-ordinator for Oregon when they beat us. And PSU on their better offensive years not sure if he was for when they Frames eeked out the one

I agree… should be like 25 where we just call nickle double LB BLITZ with man coverage

You're just jealous you come up with successful but unoriginal trick plays and not weird, check-down ones that don't work but subvert all expectations.

Judkins strikes me as the more willing inside runner so far....but that's over the course of watching him in this game so...yeah

Oh for sure I remember the 3 TDs they scored on the same play lol

 

[Buckeneye]

So you’re saying our scheme is to get stood up at the offensive line and to allow linebackers to get clean shots at our running backs……on 3 of 4 running plays ? Just wanted to make sure.

What he's saying is that box counts are (usually) directly related to inability/inefficiency in the passing game.

There are ways to help alleviate that, but football is a game where things are easier said than done.

Judkins ran behind zone blocking and one just plain missed block by the right tackle

that was a power sweep and the OL put

I understand and agree. But we should win at least some of these early on simply on desire to beat the man in front of you. The guys either aren’t sure of their assignment or facing the single greatest offensive coaching effort. Nothing looks easy yet. Q1 of first game…..but against and outmatched opponent.
