Indiana @ tOSU, Sat Nov 12, 12pm, FOX

I love our staff but I sincerely hope we understand what worked vs NW when running the ball. CJ has to pull the ball a few times, we've got to spread the field (yes even Cade) and we've got to get down hill (not east west).

If we put Stover and Rossi in and run stretch zone for 2 yards a pop vs Indiana then I honestly have to rethink how I think 11/26 will go.

I like this...

But perhaps the bigger story to emerge from Columbus is a rejuvenated defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles. This is a unit that gets opponents off the field in a hurry: Only 15 opponent drives this season have reached the red zone, the fewest of any team in the country. The Buckeyes defense ranks in the top 10 in three-and-out rate and lowest opposing third-down conversion rate, in large part because they have the second-best pressure rate in the country.

I am really glad that this defense has established this identity already.

Some people in the media seems to think complimentary football always means low-risk, make-you-earn-it defense

stuff that

A quick strike offense paired with a high risk, stop them NOW defense is perfect imho

If the D gives up a big play… whatever
You want to be in a shootout with Ohio State?
Do ya?
Do ya really?

heh

bring it on

Never thought of it that way but good point.

Even if the other team scores on a bust. That means the offense gets the ball back.

Really want to see a bounce back game from the offense. I'm talking like 600 yards of offense with the starters done with 25 minutes of game to play.

Why Woody Hayes hated Indiana
Woody Hayes was a great football coach at Ohio State for 28 years, but he was also a grumpy old man. Even when he was young, he was a grumpy old man.

Mallory worked for him as an assistant at Ohio State in the 1960s, and he came to Indiana in 1984 after successful stops at Miami of Ohio, Colorado and Northern Illinois. He wanted to beat the hell out of Woody and the Buckeyes when he got here, because he knew from experience that Hayes wanted to beat the hell out of him and the Hoosiers.

Woody Hayes hated Indiana. And that hatred ran deep, right from his first year as a head coach at Ohio State in 1951.

“Bill, of course, worked for Woody at Ohio State and he saw first-hand how much he hated Indiana,’’ Fischer said during a lengthy interview this week. “Bill used to tell the story about how during Woody’s first year, he got beat by Indiana (32-10 to a bad IU team that only won two games that season) and after the game he was so angry that he was frothing at the mouth.

“He was so mad that he swore he would NEVER lose to Indiana ever again. And, of course, he didn’t.’’

Indiana’s history with Ohio State is horrific. Since 1914, Indiana is 7-74-4 against the Buckeyes. Hayes stayed true to his word and never lost to Indiana, going 22-0-1 until he was fired in 1978 for punching a Clemson player in a bowl game.

10 mph winds

Last time Ohio State played a team with Differential Defense numbers like this; it was Toledo

Just Sayin'

Correction

The last time was Michigan State.

Stroud's highest PE of the season came against the Spartans (258.82).
DSA predicts a PE of about 240 for Stroud on Saturday. Chance of beating the number posted vs Sparty is about 30%.

But those numbers don't account for how much this offense wants to take the frustrations of the last three weeks out on someone.
Those numbers don't account for how Indiana will take it when they look at the scoreboard in the first quarter and realize that their hopes of playing in a bowl are now officially over.

Don't be surprised to see Stroud set records on Saturday...

Touchdowns
Consecutive Completions
something... something is going down on Saturday

And it's not just the Nacho Bitch
