OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

[calibuck]

Well, if our new OC isn't good at getting the "Jimmys and the Joes", then he'd best be good at the 'X's and the O's". But it does make an impact on the recruits that the 'big guy' comes to see them. Day makes his appearance as the coup d' grace on a recruit, and the OC and DC make almost same impact. Guess as a difference maker/decision maker.

I'd take more than 30 and something faster than the world's slowest-paced offense as a start

I think there needs to be a balance of slow pace and fast pace. The offense can't live in a fast paced no huddle offense, as they could put more pressure on the defense if they can't constantly convert first downs and TDs. Some of the analysts were talking about this already

Of course. I'm not suggesting the extreme opposite. But let's try to not bleed the clock with 7-14 point leads anymore

Oh my bad if I made it seem like you were. I agree, I think tempo needs to be used at times to throw off the defense. And OSU has the talent to do that.

I get the argument that you want to protect your top players in such a long season but, for goodness sake. Don't be so predictable, mixing the fast and slow play calling will help keep the defense under pressure. Give the 2's more playing time.

Two ways to limit reps on the starters.

Play slow and bleed the clock or crash teams so hard and so fast that the starters are done by half time. Then slow the tempo.

IMO, they just need to mix it up. When we had to go fast we couldn’t do it. We need to be able to do it all.

I like the second option. Leave no doubt

Rich kids like Arthur are often not the sharpest bulb in the shed because they never had to work for anything. No pressure at school to get A's, no reason to do the work it takes to grow as a person. Mike Brown, e.g. Hopefully he'll turn out to be much more effective than Tim Beck, at least.
