Characterizing the OSU offense

Balanced. Capable of spreading it out, power running down your throat, capable of running it outside, and capable of running option. This offense has the ability to be a ball control passing offense, and can throw the ball downfield. This is the most balanced offense I've ever seen at Ohio State.

By the end of the season I might agree with you.

'95 still hold the mantle for most balanced in my mind. Eddie George, Bobby Hoying and Terry Glenn are nothing to sneeze at.

With Troy Smith at the controls, our passing game is already ahead of what we had that year. Let's wait and see if the running game can come close enough to Eddie to say that we're more balanced.

This year the Bucks O is definetly the most dynamic in college football. 1st and 10 on our 20 we can hand it to Pittman and expect production, 3rd and 10 Troy Smith can complete a big pass to either Gonzo, or Ginn. Last but not least 1st and 10 on the opponents 5 yard line.... Beanie to paydirt:biggrin:. With so many different options you cannot give this offense a single name.

If it does that I'd nominate the term lethal :biggrin:

Though with all this Thunder & Lightning Stuff I'd like the sound of a

Scioto Storm.

It needs a nickname. North Coast Offense? Olentangy River Offense? Buckeye Barrage? Let's come up with one.

Its the Tressel O. It is what it needs to be any given week. Mack Brown was expecting a running game. This week it may be a running game.

Every coach may have a preferred style, but good coaches cater the O to the teams capabilities. This O is capable of pretty much anything so they cater their attack to the opponents vulnerabilities. It is not often you have the talent, experience and discipline to pull that off on virtually any dimension.

This is a super Offense and it makes me merry to watch it - so how about the Super Merry-O?

olentangy river offense gets my vote. i'm curious to know who here thought tressel (after the first few years) was even capable of running such a complex offense with so many weapons. i remember a few years ago being so frustrated because i felt he was underutilizing our talent. not anymore! i think we are still learning the pure genious of tressel. the guy has a knack for structuring his offense around his personnel. he doesn't try to make guys do things they aren't capable of. but in troy's case he is pulling out all the stops becuase troy can handle it. this is a great time to be a buckeye fan! i'm just going to sit back and enjoy the rest of the season because i think we will go back to a much more boring style of football next year.
