Jesus am I excited to have coach... just his vision, his message, and his sense of team is tremendous.

He's doesn't look ahead and wants to earn his pay. You can tell he really appreciates UFM and being here at OSU.

Wanted him from the second IU released him. HOPE we can keep him a few years because no doubt he will be instrumental in our next couple years if so

How about the bitch that won't let IU go? I guess she is going to ask the same question 29 more times during the course of this year. He answered the question lady, once, twice, and the third time you asked it. Let it go.

Glad we have him. Can't wait to watch the offense go from the turd it was into a well oiled machine.

It may be a year long nuisance. Remember, opposing teams and fans STILL talk about Urban's health and expect him to leave OSU anyday now. People love to hate OSU

She just wants to be the idiot of the group that asks the tough questions. I'd hope if she continues this tendency that the football operations tells her to drop it or you won't be back.

Id be horrible if I was UFM... "Urban how's your health?"

Ah fuck not good, had a stroke last night, I seized while taking a dump last night which led me to fall and crack my skull. Then on the way to the hospital via helicopter the damn thing crashed which now I have PTSD. Then my heart burn in my esophagus came back which made me pass out and when I came to I find out I missed shrimp and steak night at Golden Corral. Just a wreck but other then that I couldn't be better

Kevin Wilson was one of the best OCs ever. Here’s how he’ll change Ohio State

Tempo isn’t even the biggest new factor for the Buckeyes.

Before Kevin Wilson’s time as the head coach at Indiana, his reputation was built on two major achievements.

The first was coordinating a spread offense at Northwestern that ran over Michigan’s defense and caught the attention of coaches and media everywhere. The next was coaching the legendary 2008 Oklahoma offense that changed the way everyone saw tempo.

Wilson’s Hoosiers struggled without a defense to match his offenses, and when they finally brought in Tom Allen to fix that side, Wilson was then pushed out due to controversies over player safety. Urban Meyer took advantage of his availability to bring him in to reform the recently shut-out Buckeyes.

The 2016 Ohio State Buckeyes were more of a defensive team that relied on running the ball with J.T. Barrett. That mostly worked until they played Clemson, which paired elite defense with an explosive offense.

Now it seems they’re about to change how they practice, with ramped-up tempo. That’s a different approach to spread offense than what Ohio State has featured.

Balance means more touches for talented players.

The 2016 Hoosiers tended to distribute the ball differently than did the Buckeyes. Ranking by attempts gives us this:

The top five skill players for Ohio State touched the ball on 654 of the team’s 992 plays, with the QB also heavily involved in both the run and pass.

The Hoosiers’ top six handled 646 of 990 plays, with QB Richard Lagow distributing and QB Zander Diamont running.

Ohio State’s offense was good at getting the ball to hybrid back Samuel, who had 194 total touches for 1,636 yards and 15 TDs. It was less effective at involving receivers, and four of Noah Brown’s seven TDs came in a single game against Oklahoma.

Indiana put three different receivers over the 90-target mark while still feeding lead back Devine Redding. The smaller program didn’t have a better offense than Ohio State’s group of blue-chips, but it did get a lot of actors involved.

Wilson’s 2008 Sooners were an example of how this can play out with a more talented cast. Their two main backs, Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray, each went for over 1,000 rushing yards while four different receivers caught at least 40 balls and had more than 680 receiving yards.

Wilson balances the run and the pass from the same formation.

Whereas the Buckeyes tended to change formations and personnel groupings to suit the play in 2016, Wilson’s offenses usually line up in standard sets and then run or pass based on how the defense responds to the formation.

The Buckeyes would pack things in and run option tactics for multiple plays in a row, then spread out into an empty set to throw. They’ve defined balance as the ability to do either with excellence.

Wilson’s offenses usually stay in 11 personnel sets (three WRs and a tight end) in either a single-back set with a TE or a two-back set with an H-back. They will use multiple formations, but the offense is designed around balance in every formation.

Here’s Ohio State:
