Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

[Wells4Heisman]

Well I got tickets in the Ohio State section and were in the Visitor section so I'm guessing that were wearing White jerseys since were the designated "Visiting" team...

 

[Buckeneye]

Riddle me this.

What does a powerful tailback, veteren senoir QB, and dangerous freshman QB do when they are lined up in the backfield together?

Who would Todd throw the ball to if Terrelle was lined up as a WR?

Would a fake to Robo, Hartline or Sanzo draw the defense to them? Then pass to TP? Then pass to one of the three on the next play?

Would a reverse handoff to TP to Wells from TB be a possible play?

Would a direct snap to either QB or Wells be a possible play? Run or pass by Pryor?

Could the normally very conservative playbook be put aside for one game (a bowl game) to give UT something new to defend?

I can answer the last question with a definite - HELL YES.

Somebody seems to think this as well...



BuckeyeXtra - The Columbus Dispatch : Boeckman, Pryor may play at same time

What? The dispatch whispering about rumors/secrets (alleged) days after they surface on osu boards? Shocking.

 

[Taosman]

Tress does like to do a lot of "window dressing" formation wise!
If I'm Texas and I see Boeckman come in(even with TP), I call an all out blitz.

 

[GoodLifeSean]

Watching the we need to sell more tires bowl, I saw on the ticker that the Dispatch story has leaked to ESPN.... I think I smell some gamesmanship going on.

I hear Todd's had some time to work on his forty. Rumor has it he's down to a 4.37. BLITZ WITH CAUTION, Horns.

Uh FYI...Post #731 was link to a Columbus Dispatch article discussing this topic. That's where the topic originated.

The Dispatch leaking out football secrets(LOL) Woody just rolled over in his grave!

Uh FYI...

Leave the uh's to Mili, they really don't work.

Post #731 was link to a Columbus Dispatch article discussing this topic.

....with the exact same link, listing the exact same date of publication: Friday, after the message board rumors.

That's where the topic originated.

No, that's where the reaction to the paper originated. This rumor didn't originate there.

Please I hope they blitz... If they go all out blitz and Boeckman does a quick screen to Pryor in the flats then whoever the DB is out there is gonna be in TROUBLE. Especially if Pryor had a lead blocker like Hartline or Robo.

If they blitz and it is a quick screen Pryor could also get the ball and then throw the ball deep to most likely one on one coverage also.

If i'm them thats the times when I DONT blitz.

 

[NightmaresDad]

If TB comes in near the goal line to throw a fade to TP, I'm in. TP could be damn hard to stop if he gets off the LOS relatively clean.

But if we're going to run gimmick double-pass plays and goofy stuff to "trick" TX, then count me out. Our execution is bad enough on plays we have run a million times.
