Buckeye Offensive Coordinator Discussion (merged)

[kippy1040]

1) Did you try searching for offense?

2) Pete Carroll's specialty is defense. Remember Norm Chow?

I did try searching under offense. I did not know there were similar threads out in BP that covered the one here. Sorry.

especially not when the "offensively challenged Tressel" has put up 40 points with regularity. This is michigan week and the michigan thread.

Something tells me this guy's stay will be short.

I am slightly embarrased that I started this thread 26 pages and over a year ago. Can I give myself rubies?

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Any thoughts?

Did anyone ever mention it may be execution as opposed to playcalling?

The execution was much better, but you have to admit the play calling was also much improved.
We took shots at TD's instead of running up the gut to set up field goals.
We ran some trick plays.
We didn't always do what you expected us to do, which was a huge change from the beginning of the season...

Disagree. I saw the same off tackle plays with solid blocking and assignment comprehension. I saw the same pass routes, but with a QB progressing through his reads and throwing according to the coverage. I didn't see any dropped balls, half assed routes, or a QB staring down receivers. I did see some sloppy play, but I also saw a kid who bounced right back from that. Perfect game? No chance. Different game? Definitely, but not because of playcalling imo.

Nope! At least no one of consequence.

Please pass the crow, I'm due another serving for doubting JT's faith in Troy.

All true.
But I still stand by my statement that you couldn't always guess what we were going to do before the play was run.
And that to me was the biggest difference.

We'll just have to agree to disagree...to me, the play call is almost insignificant when you execute. Something is always open.

 

[ZachDumas]

Agree.

Play calling was definitely different tonight.

But, we also had superior talent on offense, which has to be taken into consideration. We left a good 21-27 points on the table.

Go Bucks!!

How?
