Missed this from the Cincinnati game. UC commits the RT, TE, and RB to triple team Chase. Chase drops into coverage and Wade gets the backside strip sack.
Luke got beat by the Fire Zone Blitz he himself was a master of calling at the perfect time.

Would love to get him in a room with some truth serum and ask him the differences between coaching our guys versus scUM's.

CO-DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR GREG MATTISON
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO USE PETE WERNER?
Spring practice offers coaches the opportunity to experiment. This year, the test subject happened to be Werner.
A starting strongside linebacker each of the past two years, Werner was unexpectedly moved to weakside linebacker. Since spring camp abruptly concluded in mid-March, it was hard to get a great look at how he performed in those reps. But the shift from Sam to Will – if it actually happens – would be significant.
Werner’s versatility at Sam essentially killed the need for the Bullet last year, which is why the coaches testing him out at Will – which, along with middle linebacker, is thought of as one of the two inside linebacker spots in this defense – is a bit perplexing. Who would play the majority of snaps at Sam? Hilliard? Pope? A defensive back acting as a Bullet?
Since there’s no easy answer, Werner sticking at Sam would appear to be the most likely scenario. Either way, since Mattison is in charge of the strongside linebackers, he needs to determine how the Buckeyes could best use Werner.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
For the past 30 years, co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison has always coached from field level in his various roles as an assistant coach. That will change on Saturday.
Because new defensive coordinator and secondary coach Kerry Coombs will be coaching from the field unlike his predecessor Jeff Hafley last year, Mattison will be up in the press box to oversee the field from above. He'll let Coombs join defensive line coach Larry Johnson and linebackers coach Al Washington at field level.
For Mattison, who went on to become defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Michigan, Notre Dame and Florida and also spent three years coaching with the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens before returning to Michigan and then going south to Ohio State, this will be the first time he’s coached from the booth since he was Texas A&M’s defensive line coach in 1990.
He’s on board with that change because he believes it will be for the best for Ohio State’s defense.
“It’s going to be interesting,” Mattison said Wednesday. “But I’ve been there during the practices that we’ve had, it’s been great. So it’ll work really well with our staff.
“The interaction with the players (on the field) and that part of it has always been something I’ve really, really enjoyed, but you know what happens, when we have a whole staff of guys that do that, sometimes too many doing that isn’t good. And I just felt the best thing for us was for me to be in the box. I think I can help this defense more being there, and we’ve got plenty of guys down there that are enthusiastic.”
