Whew.
That’s all I can say. Actually, I can also say I will never write another opinion piece praising the Ohio State offense after one week.
Reminds me of the time I wrote a column (with numbers to back it up) saying Tiger Woods wasn’t ready to go pro.
Don’t ask.
Anywho, tons of majors and an alleged fling with a Perkins waitress later, I was wrong there and I was for the most part wrong here.
The offense isn’t the work of art I proclaimed it to be. I’ll take off my scarlet and gray colored glasses going forward.
Despite the ugliness, it was a win, which, as Al Davis used to say, is all we need “baby.”
But was it a satisfying win?
As George Michael used to say on the sports machine, let’s roll the video …..
Interior DL play: Tulsa had just 61 yards rushing. Pretty solid play there.
Better pass rush: Two sacks and only 127 yards passing. Not bad. And the third quarter defense was, uh, well, wow.
More JT Barrett runs on passing plays: Incomplete grade here. He had 55 yards rushing but still missed a couple opportunities
Quicker rotation of the backup players: Game flow and rain didn’t really allow for it.
Scott
A win: Ugly.
A shutout: Almost. The one scoring drive was just 20 yards.
No injuries: Haven’t heard of anything major.
Burrow: Not so much.
Brandon
Defensive line pressure: As the aforementioned analysis indicated, the rushing yards, sacks and limited passing yards is a good indicator here, no?
Sound coverage in secondary: How do a pair of pick-sixes sound?
Offense keeps going: Once it got going, I guess it was decent. OSU still totaled 417 yards despite it all. Additionally, they might have lost a pair of possessions on the pick-sixes.
Mike M.
Health: As I said, I didn’t see anything major.
Stop the broken record: OK, now it is a broken record. Defensive line looked pretty good.
Weber: 17 for 92 and a touchdown. Nothing flashy.

A solid win with no injuries: I wouldn’t call it solid but as I said, I don’t think there were any major injuries.
