FYI - Ive never seen you as aggressive or negative. You are one of the best contributors on the board imho. I am not comparing tOSU against other schools. I am comparing them against their own recent performances despite the competition. From that perspective I believe that the Offense improved significantly in rushing the ball and Red Zone production. Personally, I think it is because they simplified things, abandoning the PRO and putting in a couple packages that were new. Time will tell if it works against a better Defense. But for now, I am happy with the improvements I saw and the coaches willingness to make changes.
GO BUCKS!

It's all good. Dealing with the aftermath of a close friend putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger. Had everything going for him, family, profession, finances. Always the one with a smile on his face. Stunning how depression gets hidden. His oldest has college entrances examinations and a birthday this week and we bury him on Saturday. A bit shattered, I guess.

Thanks for sharing. So sorry to hear this. I will be praying for all involved. I just lost a friend over the weekend to suicide as well. Another last month was brutally murdered. both in their early 40's. Puts things in perspective for sure. Grace and peace

I am sorry for both of your losses. As someone who has been going though 3 months of hell and tried to drink himself to death 2 weeks ago, I agree that depression is no joke.

Looking at the final numbers for the game from the offense, they finally achieved something that's been missing - balance.

Granted it was a bit forced with the turnovers and the inaccuracy from Haskins, but the offense found something akin to the balance UFM has been preaching (and until this year, mostly achieving).

Now for the fun part, every year, around this time, when the weather gets uber-shitty, Ohio State's passing offense does go into a bit of a shell and the running game becomes more emphasized. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

The Not So Good…
  • The passing game was erratic at best. It was Haskins lowest completion percentage of the year (aided by two drops as well).
  • Third Down conversions were 33% for the game. But we only had nine third down plays.
The Bad…
  • Three turnovers.
  • Despite limiting the explosive plays, Nebraska held an edge in overall success rate. And the yards per play of 5.49 is still more than a good defense should permit.
Yeah, in addition to "missed tackles" and some of the "penalties", the "turnovers" and "dropped passes" need to get eliminated.
