Game Thread Buffalo Bulls at tOSU, Aug 31, 12 ET, ESPN2

Glad to see the Bucks come out blazing. That 1st qtr met or exceeded expectations on both sides of the ball. The next 3 qtrs? Blah, ugh, meh.

Taylor Decker now leads the nation in "look out" pass blocks. Gotta fix that.

Reeves was really getting picked on. Grant looked great - both of them. We will have 2 really fine CB's when Roby comes back.

It's easy to look at the negative things that happened Sat and obsess over them. I am actually encouraged. They showed what they can do and most of the problems they had are fixable. We are fine. We don't have to be the best team in the BIG or the nation in week 1.

Ohio State v. Buffalo: Offensive Breakdown
breakdown-logo.jpeg

Turnovers, injuries, and negative plays marred what was otherwise a solid statistical performance by the Ohio State offense.

The Buckeyes came out fast, but consciously made the decision to slow down and close the playbook in the second half following several unforced errors. Buffalo's quirky scheme and first-round draft candidate Khalil Mack also forced the Buckeyes into negative plays, taking the Buckeye offense off-schedule in forcing second and third and longs.

The Buckeye offense can improve their yards per points simply by eliminating mistakes. Getting starters back like Corey Linsley and using Braxton Miller running when the defense presents opportunities will also take the offense to the next level.

Contd....

Great read
