33 seconds left. It takes 5+ of our players to run the field in 11 seconds or better

Analogous to tempo on offense, the OSU D is consistently more effective when they mix their fronts and show some pre-snap movement, and as soon as they get comfortable they settle into less effective base defense. Dammit.

 

[LostLassie]

Not happy with how easily the green were able to move the ball down the field on that last possession. Not happy at all.

 

[Jake]

So this game is going to be like the last time we played them.

OSU destroys them but the score makes it look like a decent game.

As long as the result is the same, I'll take it.

 

[Wingate1217]

Half a fucking yard short. Not even close.

And a complete miss of an obvious fucking hold penalty.

And instead are you fucking kidding me??? They want to get rid of Bell????

And this is the best the SEC has????

Sure let'em score in the last minute of the half..................SMH.
Let's score in the first possession I the 3rd....

Boy, I'm sure glad we have #4, Sanders, on our team...

Tough to mix fronts when three defensive linemen aren't playing.

 

[Buckeneye]

On pace to win 56-28. That's ok... I guess.

I don't know if that's right or not, but it's a pattern even when they're at full strength.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Disgusting end to an otherwise stellar half.

Absolutely half to call better defense with out our best players up front. Stunt and blitz!

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Biggest issue in the game right now - Linebackers.

Where is Kwon, Lee, and Perry? None of them are defending the pass over the middle so where are they disappearing to?

 

[bukIpower]

Well I don't see either defense having an answer for the offenses... just have to get back to zeke/jt/brax/samuel/Marshall with the option game and then throw in the OCCASIONAL pass. If we come out throwing that's not going to salt this game away for us

Almost have to play more aggressive with blitzes because extended drives are almost always going to end in scores anyway. Might as well force the issue.
