blissfully stupid
i have enough gray hairs thank you very much. i would pay money for all of our wins to be a blowouts. a nice calm domination on both sides of the ball is what im looking for here. if im going to die of a heart attack i want it to be because im 80 sleeping with an 18 yr old. not because im 27 watching the bucks play texas.

If I had to pick a single key it would be how we handle the Texas front line pressure.
We wont stop it. But we need to be able to dump the ball off to get what we can get and not make any stupid mistakes that give them easy chances to score. Not looking for big scoring plays, just stay out of trouble.
There will be a few sacks, and we can survive that. But QB judgement under pressure is critical.

CFN's How to Break Texas with Ginn Jr.

Texas vs. Ohio State, Sept. 10[/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial,
sans serif][SIZE=-1]
[/SIZE][/FONT]By John Harris Of course, the Texas/Ohio State matchup is one of the best non-conference games that we’ve seen at the start of a season in a long time. Having never played the Buckeyes or been to Columbus, the Longhorns will find that the Buckeyes are no longer a three yards and a cloud of dust Woody Hayes team as they were in the past. This game has so much intrigue, partly based on the ‘characters’ involved in this matchup. Everyone knows what Vince Young means to the Longhorns, but the one guy that Texas has to slow down is Ted Ginn Jr. However, if used properly, the Buckeyes can utilize him ‘against’ Texas even when he doesn’t have the ball. Sure, I hate players being used as a decoy, but this is a situation where being ‘used’ early might open things up for him or others in a big-time way. Here’s what I mean.
Early in the Miami University game, HBC and play caller Jim Tressel was pushing the envelope to get the ball to Ginn anywhere, anytime and out of any formation. One of the ways that he did this was to use the ‘Bubble Screen’ concept, made popular by Joe Tiller and Jim Cheney at Purdue when Drew Brees was there a few years ago. The Buckeyes came out in a Y Trips set (TE and two WRs to the right side, with an open WR on the backside – no TE), with Ginn the inside receiver. Ginn actually lines up almost parallel to the QB/RB, about three to four yards deep in the backfield.
As you can see Ginn is lined up in the slot. On the snap, Justin Zwick stood up and hit Ginn with a quick throw, almost like a long toss sweep. The line essentially zone blocks to the right, and Ginn has then to beat the SS, but that isn’t an unsafe bet.
The Buckeye sophomore is so explosive that he’ll pull the entire focus of the defense to his side. So, here are the two changeups to keep an eye on. The first is a counter that can be very effective with the positioning of TB Antonio Pittman. On the snap, Pittman takes one quick jab step to his right as Zwick pumps the bubble screen to Ginn. When that happens, you know the Longhorn defenders are going to be on a dead sprint to Ginn. Pittman pivots, comes back to the left and takes a handoff from Zwick on a counter back against the grain.
The Buckeyes haven’t shown this look just yet, but it’s a logical counter off of this play. The other look that they did show against Miami was to move Pittman to the other side and run a basic speed option off that look.
Because Pittman changes sides, it puts more pressure on the backside outside linebacker and the middle linebacker, especially if Troy Smith is in the backfield. Smith is a much more dangerous running threat, so with him in the gun at any time, Texas has to be aware of his presence. However, if the defense plays it straight, the bubble screen, the ‘original’ play, will be open on the backside to Mr. Ginn.
Texas will have a difficult time with this series of plays, but if the linebackers read their keys well, they’ll be able to read what the Buckeyes are doing, in particular by reading the guards. The guard should give it away on every play, but when those linebackers don’t make that read and peek into the backfield, they’re going to be in trouble. The second main thing is that the Texas DBs must funnel Ginn back to the inside, hoping that the linebackers are on the run to help them. It’s more important in this game than in perhaps any other game for the linebackers to keep running to the ball and then put a hurting on someone when they get there. Being physical and tackling well are the major keys to this game…well, that and not getting burned on this series of plays.

I think there was a little bit of Tressel setting things up against Texas going on in the Miami game. There are all kinds of ways to exploit a Texas D that thinks they know whats going to happen before it does. Let's hope Tressel is as sneaky as the armchair QBs calling for a flea flicker or WR pass from Ginn back to TSmith.
