I can see the run vs pass game. The problem is in balance of the game. Watch the Naty run from 2015. Pass and rush complimented eachother even with a more run heavy scheme. Oline does this. Great pass pro right now and poor run pro despite 2 premier runners at this time. Talent has gotten the team this far. A slightly less talented, equal or better talent can cost them and almost did against Penn State. This team can beat anyone. Edit: Wanted to add the Haskins factor. Not an Urban offensive QB style. It's a unique and fun year so far (minus preseason shit)

This team is going to have to be unbalanced. It's by choice.

They have to pass to run since the QB can't run at all.

Teams didn't have enough film on Cardale Jones and he made them pay. The next year when they had time to scheme for him the offense didn't work well at all, until the runner took back over.

Haskins has the accuracy that Jones lacked to transfer the lost/surrendered run yardage to the short passing game.

That is the trade off, good or bad that is what the OSU coaching staff chose to do when they named Haskins the starter.

Again, no mystery.

But...

OSU should have had 750 yards offense if the running game wasn't ass

They should literally set an all time record

every
fucking
week

or...

I'm not going to bust anyone's balls over it.

I genuinely want to help people not be frustrated when they don't have to be.

If there was a cause for concern, I would absolutely say so but when they choose to surrender some run to pick it up (and more) with the pass, I just don't understand thinking that there is something wrong with the OL.

Offense that season was balanced. Brax threw more then JT kept it going. He went down and Cardale was a product of what was going on. Yes his arm was bigger than they expected but overall scheme didn't change much. This team needs/must run the ball without a qb influence. It has to happen. Pass heavy is great. It's the strength. Still need a competent run game to keep a defense honest.

You're being unusually soft. I'll bust balls over it. Same motherfuckers who couldn't believe OSU took JT last year are now bitching that there's a lack of stats in the run game this year?

No fucking thanks....

They had one of the most talented teams in OSU history in 2015 and couldn't make the offense work with Cardale Jones at QB.

The reason was he couldn't consistently make teams pay with the pass. Haskins can.

No team in the world can run the ball consistently when they are trying to block an extra guy.

C'mon man.

Heart? Like overcoming a 2 TD deficit in the 4th quarter on the road in Happy Valley kind of heart?

Are you seriously going to compare playing the Pedsters in their sissy White Out at Slappy Valley with playing at home against a team we've gone 55-2-2 against? They bring their lunch pail for TCU and the Pedsters but decide to leave it under the bed for a team that shouldn't be within four TDs.

Back 7 of the defense has issues. No question.

"Issues" is putting it mildly. I cannot recall a season with the back seven playing this shitty for so many games. There's a reason why we're dead last in the country for giving up plays of 60+. 70+, and 80+ yards. How many 30+ yard plays did they give up today against a team that was 65th in total offense?

Offense is elite

"Elite" offenses don't get stuffed by a defense like Indiana on consecutive runs when needing only one yard. We can say that Haskins is an elite QB, but our running attack lately has been anemic.

Young, highly aggressive teams are going to get a lot of penalties.Wish they didn't but it's been that way for a few years now.
Click to expand...
Most of the penalties were committed by players who've been playing for a while. It's not only the sloppy play but also the timing of the penalties. I can understand some execution issues when playing a top-notch team in a hostile environment (i.e., last week), but there's absolutely no excuse for the amount of shitty play at home against a team you've owned for almost seven decades.
