Game Thread Game Four: #1 Ohio State 28, #24 Penn State 6 (9/23/06)

[808 Buck]

A tough battle awaits the Bucks. Every coach in the Big 10 is preaching about the start of the second season (conference play). PSU will be focused and prepared. I have no doubts that we will be, too. Sorry, but I expect a four quarter war. (But, I sure like having Troy Smith on our team in a big game.)

So, I guess College Gameday is gonna be at Ohio State this week for the game. Unless I heard wrong!

So, I guess College Gameday is gonna be at Ohio State this week for the game. Unless I heard wrong!

Haven't heard anything but would make sense to me. Not a lot of other high-profile games going on and us being the #1 team in the country right now, would probably garner a little more attention. Everyone's going to be jacked up for this game, no doubt about it. Plus the students will be back!

 

[Bucklion]

I have heard Gameday will be there (as will I )

 

[Steve19]

Actually, I don't expect this one to be as close as I originally thought. Their secondary is vulnerable. Pozluzny has looked okay against the run but terrible against the pass. They are much slower on defense this year.

Their numbers look better than they are. For instance, they are ranked #11 in rushing defense but that is against weak opponents: Akron is ranked outside the top 100 in rushing and so is Notre Dame. So, I suspect that we will put up 35-42 points against them and torch them early with a couple of big plays. And they can say goodbye to being ranked in the top 50 in rushing after this game.

Defensively for the Buckeyes, as a general observation, Penn State has played three games against teams ranked in the 75-100 range in defense against the pass and run. Even against defenses at that level, Morelli has not been making great choices and his passing leaves a lot to be desired. They have a balanced offense, averaging 200 yards passing and running, but they also have Akron and Youngstown State in there and Ohio State is giving up about half that. Notice that Ohio State has achieved that against Texas and (G-FORCE ARE YOU READING THIS) one of the best backs in the country with NIU. So, I don't think our guys will be any more hard-pressed to hold these guys than Notre Dame was.

Summary: I expect this game to not be as close as I originally thought. Once victory is solidly in the bag, I expect Tressel to call off the dogs in respect for Paterno. Nevertheless, Buckeyes with a 21 point lead in the first half is very possible and I expect that margin or more in the end.

​

PENN STATE AT OHIO STATE
Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Ohio Stadium, Columbus
TV Channel 5


COLUMBUS Among the lasting images of the 2005 Ohio State season was Troy Smith lying on his back, the crazy-loud crowd in Happy Valley going bananas.
The Buckeyes? comeback bid against Penn State had just been laid out cold by Tamba Hali. He sacked Smith in the final minutes, forced a fumble and the Nittany Lions recovered on the way to a 17-10 win.
Ohio State didn?t recover from that loss until late in the season, at least, and then it was too late to get back into the national championship picture.
Now the No. 1 team in the country, Ohio State would like to return the favor to Penn State, which already has a loss this year. A second defeat would knock Joe Paterno?s team out of the national picture and give OSU a tighter grasp on the top spot in college football.
The two teams play Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.
?They gave it to us pretty good up at their place last year,? wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez said. ?We?re expecting a very difficult game; a tough battle. That?s what you come to expect, one, from the Big 10 and two against Penn State.
?You never forget a loss, especially one as ugly as that. It?s one of the things we?ve been thinking about, now it?s time to go play football.?
Smith threw for just 139 yards in that game. He was sacked five times and picked off once.
Down 17-10, Smith tried to rally his team. Pinned deep in OSU?s territory, Smith completed a 26-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr., and chased that with a 21-yarder to Santonio Holmes. Near midfield, though, Hali came off the edge and sacked Smith. The game was essentially over with 1:21 to play.
The Penn State loss was the second of the season. The Nittany Lions went on to national prominence. Eventually, OSU shared the Big Ten championship with Penn State.
?You never forget a loss,? Ohio State lineman T.J. Downing said. ?Both losses last year were close games. I?d rather get blown out than lose close ones. One block here, one block there and there might?ve been a change in the outcome. It will be nice playing at the Horseshoe. That was a tough environment to play in last year. You couldn?t hear line calls. The field was vibrating.?
OSU will field a vastly different offense this time around. Smith is better. A year ago, Penn State practically dared him to win with his legs. It was almost as if PSU?s defense wasn?t worried about Smith?s arm.
Linebacker Paul Posluszny led Penn State with 14 tackles, including a sack, and a tackle for loss. He doesn?t yet have a sack this year, but he is the unquestioned leader of the country?s No. 11-ranked run defense.
It will be interesting to watch OSU?s game plan. Smith is the country?s third-ranked quarterback in pass efficiency. Penn State is struggling against the pass this year.
In Saturday?s sometimes uneventful 37-7 win over Cincinnati, it looked like the Buckeyes were looking ahead to the Penn State game.
It was a concept OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel acknowledged.
?I think we?re all anxious to get into the Big Ten season, and perhaps, we played a little bit like we were anxious to get into the Big Ten season,? Tressel said.
Ohio State?s first goal every season is to win the conference, not a national title.
?It?s big,? Downing said. ?It?s the co-champ playing each other. There is still a bad taste in our mouth from last year. JoePa is a great coach; legendary.?

FREEBIE FLAG On a Ted Ginn Jr. reverse in the third quarter, the officials nearly ran out of flags to throw on the Buckeyes. There are only seven officials and there were four flags on the ground. Cincinnati declined both penalties (hold on Kirk Barton, illegal block in the back on T.J. Downing). Ginn lost 6 yards on the carry despite his teammates? help. ?I already saw three or four flags on the ground, so I figured if I clipped the guys it wasn?t going to hurt any worse,? Downing said, jokingly. ?It was a freebie flag, and that doesn?t happen very often.? OSU was penalized eight times for 75 yards Saturday. ?It?s bad,? Downing said of the penalties. If we could have a game with zero penalties, that would be ideal. ... We have to work to get better at that.? Alex Boone was removed in the second half after his third penalty. Co-captain Doug Datish gave Boone an earful for his hankies.

Buckeyes' young D covers mistakes with exuberance
BY JON SPENCER | (MANSFIELD, OHIO) NEWS JOURNAL
COLUMBUS - Six. That's how many Buckeyes were drafted by NFL teams off the Ohio State defense last season. It's also the puny number of interceptions and fumble recoveries made by that acclaimed and highly-decorated unit.
See the ball, get the ball. How hard can it be?
Apparently not that hard when youthful exuberance is covering up a multitude of sins.

Despite nine new starters, and 13 freshmen or sophomores on the defensive two-deep, the 2006 model driven out of the shop by co-coordinators Jim Heacock and Luke Fickell has already produced six turnovers in three games.
"I think we have more of a swarming mentality," sophomore end Vernon Gholston said. "Last year we had a bunch of great guys and everybody was in the right position all the time. There weren't a lot of opportunities. This year, we're flying around, the ball is going up, and you never know who's going to jump out and make a play."
Gholston almost makes it sound like this big-play defense is by accident, that youthful ignorance is bliss, style counts more than substance and it pays to be in the wrong place at the right time.
Hmm, he might be on to something. Even after holding Cincinnati to minus-four yards rushing Saturday (thanks largely to eight sacks), the nation's top-ranked team is eighth among Big Ten teams in run defense and seventh in pass defense
That's in stark contrast to a year ago when OSU led the nation in run defense and the Big Ten in total defense.
So far, the Buckeyes have been able to compensate for their deficiencies with a league-high five interceptions and a ball-jarring hit two weeks ago in Austin, Texas.
When sophomore middle linebacker James Laurinaitis slapped the ball out of Texas wideout Billy Pittman's hands at the OSU 2, it turned into a 14-point swing and propelled Ohio State to a 24-7 win over then-No. 2 Texas.
It was the start of a momentum-stealing trifecta Laurinaitis has already hit in this young season.
He came back in the third quarter of that game to intercept a pass that dealt a severe blow to the Longhorns in their comeback bid. The pro wrestlers' kid (his father is Road Warrior Animal) also body-slammed the Bearcats with an acrobatic pick deep in OSU territory. That happened right before halftime in a game the Buckeyes blew open in the second half.
"I don't know, maybe teams are thinking These guys are young, we can take more chances,' '' said Laurinaitis, who is tied for the Big Ten in interceptions (2) and forced fumbles (2). "But we know people can't just throw the ball up on us."
The rest of the Big Ten might soon know it, too. Sophomore cornerback Malcolm Jenkins had the receiver blanketed when he made a leaping interception near midfield on Saturday. Freshman safety Anderson Russell later made the Bearcats pay for an ill-conceived gadget play when he picked off an illegal forward pass thrown by wide receiver Bill Poland.
"I just think it's a mentality we have as a defense," said Jenkins, the best player in a completely rebuilt secondary. "Our coaches put it on us to get more turnovers and force things to happen. We're flying around more."
Ohio State's five interceptions are one less than it had all last season when the Buckeyes' 12 total takeaways were second-fewest in the Big Ten behind hapless Illinois (8). OSU also ranked 11th in turnover-margin (minus-9), just ahead of the Illini (minus-11).
Heading into Saturday's Big Ten opener at home against Penn State, the Buckeyes are at plus-four - behind Michigan (plus-8) and Minnesota (plus-six) - as the back seven capitalizes on the mistake-inducing pressure applied by the front four.
OSU and Michigan share the Big Ten lead in sacks with 13. Senior tackle Quinn Pitcock, who usually goes about his work quietly, funneling plays to those around him, had three sacks against the Bearcats. Four other defensive linemen have at least one sack, including Gholston, who has three.
"The nice thing about Quinn and David (Patterson, fellow captain and tackle) is they're leaders," Heacock said. "You can say, 'Dave and Quinn, we're not working hard enough.' It's taken care of. 'Dave and Quinn, we're not watching enough film.' It's taken care of. They're like extra coaches on the field."
At times, the Buckeyes have looked like they need extra players on the field. Northern Illinois tailback Garrett Wolfe ripped OSU for 285 yards rushing and receiving. Texas had two tailbacks who averaged 6 yards a carry, stopped only by their coach. Cincinnati, while held to one touchdown like OSU's other two opponents, needed only 2:10 to complete that 80-yard march. UC quarterback Dustin Grutza was 18-for-22 for 202 yards.
So this defense, for all of its yeoman work in Texas, is far from a finished product.
"We still have a lot of work to do and we have to keep getting better every week," Laurinaitis said. "We know we haven't arrived yet."

Nittany Lions need to clean up act

By Jeff Rice

[email protected]

Youngstown State head coach Jon Heacock has enough Ohio State connections -- his brother, Jon, is the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator and Ohio State's head coach, Jim Tressel, was his former boss at Youngs-town State -- that Penn State figured Saturday's game against the Penguins might be a nice lead-in to this week's matchup with No. 1 Ohio State.
The Penguins might have run a few of the Buckeyes' formations, and worn red, but the similarities ended there. The Nittany Lions, 2-1 after a 37-3 win, would do well to remember that and hope their own performance isn't as sloppy as it was throughout much of Saturday. Here's a quick rundown of a game that was closer than many expected.
The Good
u Happy Hunting -- Sure, he ran all over a Division I-AA defense, but senior tailback Tony Hunt looked terrific with 143 yards rushing on 18 carries Saturday. More importantly, his offensive line gained some much-needed confidence in the win.
u A.J. O.K -- True freshman A.J. Wallace continues to impress. He now has 261 all-purpose yards - the same total as sophomore wideout Derrick Williams -- on just eight touches. Wallace, like Ohio State's Ted Ginn, has an extra gear, and the coaches are not hesitating to put the ball in his hands.
u Big Ed -- Ed Johnson, the senior defensive tackle, continues to find his way into opponents' backfields. He has three sacks in the last two games, including two on Saturday. The Lions will need more of a pass rush from Johnson and fellow tackle Jay Alford with senior defensive end Jim Shaw hobbled by an ankle injury.
u Poz -- Knee troubles? What knee troubles? Senior linebacker Paul Posluszny led the team with eight tackles and provided heavy pressure on Penguins quarterbacks Tom Zetts and Mike Schneider. He's quickly adapting to his new position in the middle.
The Bad
u Connection issues -- Quarterback Anthony Morelli (11-of-27) and his receivers weren't on the same page Saturday. Penn State had receivers open but couldn't establish any rhythm in the passing game, which doomed the Lions at Notre Dame and could do the same next week. It's still early in the year, but it seems as though the passing attack is moving in the wrong direction.
u Kicking themselves -- As soon as they found someone to snap the ball and someone to hold it, the Lions found someone to miss the field goal. Or, as Kevin Kelly did Saturday, three of them. To his credit, he did make three, including a career-long 49-yarder (and was nearly automatic on turning kickoffs into touchbacks) but this doesn't bode well for an offense that's having trouble finishing off drives.
u Flagged -- Penn State was whistled for five penalties Saturday and now has 14 in three games. It's less of a matter of how many, though, than a matter of when. Two first-quarter penalties, both in Youngstown State territory, stalled Penn State drives.
The Rest
The Nittany Lions moved up one spot to 24th in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. ... Jordan Norwood, Penn State's leading receiver in each of the season's first two games, did not have a catch against the Penguins. ... Hunt, who now has 2,187 career rushing yards, passed Booker Moore to move into 13th place on Penn State's career rushing list. ... Opponents have rushed for just 190 yards against the Nittany Lions this season and are averaging 1.9 yards per attempt. ... Penn State has scored 88 percent of its points in the final three quarters this season.

Donnie Collins: Fans need to be patient with Morelli

09/18/2006

Email to a friendPrinter-friendly
There was an interesting exchange at the end of Joe Paterno?s postgame press conference Saturday that should answer any questions Penn State fans might have about their team?s situation at quarterback.

A reporter asked Paterno if backup quarterback Daryll Clark?s punishing-yet-flashy touchdown run in garbage time of Penn State?s 37-3 win over Youngstown State gave him any fond flashbacks of the quarterback who made punishing-yet-flashy runs a weekly occurrence at Beaver Stadium.

?Not quite,? Paterno chuckled, rightly refusing to put the redshirt freshman in Michael Robinson?s company. ?Not yet.?

?But it could be?,? the reporter persisted.

?Yeah,? Paterno shot back, getting out of his chair as he spoke. ?And I could be God.?

All week, Paterno has been reluctant, to put it nicely, to throw too many public compliments Clark?s way. Maybe it?s because he saw Clark?s elaborate hand-slapping celebration with receiver Kevin Cousins after he scored. Maybe it?s because he sees more than just the curiosity of a few reporters behind the sudden rash of Daryll Clark questions.

He answered one particular question about Clark by saying, ?Anthony Morelli is our quarterback,? and he stood behind that even after the junior had a less-than-dignifying outing against the Penguins.

Morelli?s numbers ? 11-for-27, 154 yards, no touchdowns ? aren?t exactly going to exude brilliance. When the fact that Youngstown State is a Division I-AA opponent is factored in, they aren?t exactly going to coerce fans to exude much confidence about his chances to lead Penn State to many victories when Big Ten teams come to town, either.

But the mere insinuation that Clark would be a better option right now borders on ludicrous.

Coaches have raved about Morelli?s arm strength, and they have for years. That?s what put him right up there with the likes of Adrian Peterson and Ted Ginn Jr. among the highest-recruited prep prospects in the nation in 2004. He?s plenty tall enough to see Penn State?s lethal receiving corps breaking open downfield. He?s a legitimate pro prospect ? and Penn State hasn?t had one of those at quarterback since Kerry Collins.

To steal a term often reserved to describe baseball pitchers, Morelli has good stuff. He just isn?t polished yet.

To get there, he?s going to have to remove some of the warts in his game that have become evident as his chances to make them have increased.

Six of his last seven passes were incomplete, and most of them short-hopped receivers. That?s indicative of a mechanical flaw ? releasing the ball a bit too early, a bit too late, overthrowing, not stepping into them, anything. Whatever it is should be correctable with a few pointers in practice.

Paterno added that he?d like to see Morelli look a little less at trying to make plays down the field in favor of working the ball in to receivers open underneath and on short crossing routes. That was evident Saturday, when Jordan Norwood, Penn State?s best weapon in the intermediate passing game, didn?t catch a pass.

?I thought we were just going to come out and run right by them,? Morelli admitted. ?But they were all dropping back in coverage. I realized that a little late.?

Morelli realized a few things a little late against Youngstown State, namely that the Penguins came to play and that the Nittany Lions lacked the early urgency they needed to put an out-manned, less-talented team out of its misery.

?We have to come out ready to play from the first play of the first quarter,? he said. ?We just didn?t have that fire in the first quarter.?

That attitude starts with the quarterback.

The arm. The decision-making. The intensity. That?s all going to come with time, presumably, and that can be said about all the principles of Penn State?s young passing game.

With all due respect to Penn State?s beloved coach, his backup quarterback has a better chance of becoming Michael Robinson than Paterno does of ever becoming a supreme deity.

But with all due respect to the fans who want to see him make a quarterback change, they need to be more patient with Anthony Morelli.

One of the big problems last year was the early injury to the offensive line that required a shift of guys to other positions.
That, hopefully, won't be an issue this year!

And, of coarse, their "d" line has graduated!
And their secondary!

Uh-Oh!
Bombs away! :tongue2:

you mean "of course." "coarse" means 'rough,' 'irritating, 'harsh,' or 'grating.'
"of course" means

a direction or route taken or to be taken.
the path, route, or channel along which anything moves: the course of a stream. .advance or progression in a particular direction; forward or onward movement.


sorry... i'm a little anal when it comes to vocabulary and grammar...

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

Troy will tell you its not about revenge...but it is for me. Heres hoping we win by 30.

Taos, there is no doubt that there is much to look at in the minus column for Penn State this year.
They have lost key personnel.
They have suffered a humiliating defeat to a team that then got hammered by that team from up north.

But, they are Penn State, they will still bring in speed at the WR (even though I have my doubts about the ability of their QB to get the ball to them.
They will bring a good running game led by RB Tony Hunt.

And, they will be coming in on the crest of a small wave of self-belief following their humbling of D-1AA Youngstown State in Happy Valley.

I know you are not disocunting those Nitts, I just hope that the Buckeyes have their eyes firmly focussed on the prize this week. (Unlike the lethargy they showed for a quarter and change in their game against UC).

It is a Big 10 game, by definition, this is a tilt that requires the entire team come out with 100% intensity from the first whistle.

Yes, Troy will tell you it's not about revenge. So will JT.

• '04 Iowa - '05 Iowa
• '04 NW - '05 NW
• '05 UT - '06 UT

Questions? No?

OK then, I guess I don't need to dwell on that intensity issue, do I?

If I'm Paterno I run, run, and run some more!
Monday, September 18, 2006
By Ray Fittipaldo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette




Check out the Big Ten statistics through three games and there is one surprising number: Penn State is third in the conference in rushing offense, with 207.7 yards per game. For a team with four first-year starters on the offensive line, this is a pleasant development for offensive coordinator Galen Hall.

Penn State rushed for 389 yards Saturday against Youngstown State, the most in a game in four years. The previous time the Nittany Lions ran for more was the final regular-season game in 2002, when they compiled 390 against Michigan State, of which 279 came from Larry Johnson in a little more than a half's work.
Saturday's ground assault came against a decidedly weaker opponent, so it's difficult to determine exactly where the Penn State rushing game stands at this point. Youngstown State plays in Division I-AA and could not stand up to the bigger and stronger Penn State front line.
But this was the third consecutive game that the running game improved. After a weak first outing against Akron, when Penn State backs rushed for 76 yards on 27 attempts (2.8 average), the Lions were solid at Notre Dame (158 yards) before the breakout performance against Youngstown State.
Granted, 62 percent of this season's rushing yards came against Youngstown State, which is about the 10th best football team in the state of Ohio. The best team in Ohio, and perhaps the country, awaits Penn State Saturday, at which time the Lions will receive a better indication of how good the running game is.
Penn State travels to No. 1 Ohio State Saturday in Columbus. The Buckeyes, after some trouble stopping the run in their first two games, shut down Cincinnati's run game. They held the Bearcats to 11 yards on 22 carries. Ohio State is giving up 106.3 yards per game on the ground (eighth in Big Ten) and yielding 293.7 yards per game (sixth in the league).
"They have a great front seven [on defense]," Penn State center A.Q. Shipley said. "We know they're going to be very active."
Shipley is one of the four first-year starters on the offensive line. Penn State coach Joe Paterno expressed great concern over their progress during preseason camp, but their play has improved steadily since the opener against Akron, a performance Paterno ripped, saying the line "got their ears kicked in."
On Saturday, senior running back Tony Hunt ran for 143 yards, his first 100-yard game of the season and the eighth of his career. Hunt had gained just 110 yards in the first two games.
"We're getting better every week," Hunt said. "Right off the bat the line did a good job of pushing guys off the ball. We went out there and established the run early."
"It's great," quarterback Anthony Morelli said of the resurgent running game. "They were sitting back in coverage and didn't want to get beat deep. That's why Tony is back there. He's a great running back and is there to make great plays."
The other ballcarriers ran well, too. Backup running back Rodney Kinlaw had 86 yards on six carries, receiver Derrick Williams had 56 yards on nine carries, mostly from tailback, and freshman receiver A.J. Wallace had 76 yards on a reverse.
"The offensive line continues to open up holes for us to run through," Kinlaw said. "They're opening big holes."
Shipley said the improvement of the four new offensive line starters is a direct result of game experience.
"It definitely gives us great confidence to put up almost 400 yards rushing," Shipley said. "Tony is starting to get confidence in us. As an O-line we're starting to get confidence.
"I just think we needed a little game experience with each other. When you play with new faces week in and week out, it's different. We kept the same lineup for most of the game. We're starting to get a feel for each other."
Three weeks ago, Penn State's passing game was perceived to be the strength of the offense. Anthony Morelli threw for three touchdowns in his first career start. Penn State's receivers are considered to be among the best groups in the country.
But since the first half of the Akron game, there has been little to write home about in the passing game. Morelli has one touchdown pass in the past two games, a meaningless 2-yard toss to Deon Butler late in the blowout loss to Notre Dame Sept. 9. The passing game looked especially out of sync Saturday against Youngstown State, Morelli completing just 11 of 27 passes for 154 yards.
It now appears the running game must excel if the Lions are to have any hope of an upset at Ohio State. It has come a long way in three weeks, but can it do the job against the No. 1 team in the nation? "We still have work to do," tackle Levi Brown said. "Every week you try to get better. You don't want to be peaking at the beginning of the season. You don't want to peak early and then taper off. We definitely do have work to do. But I'm very comfortable that we'll go out and compete at O-State and get the job done."
