Game Thread Ohio State 3, Southern Cal 35 (Sept. 13)

Formation wise, I don't see the iso as a viable option against USC and they're great middle linebacker(Maualuga?). And we lost all our fullbacks which further weakens the iso as a viable option. I look for lots of 2 back sets and the occasional single back.

Defensively, who is gonna get the tough assignment of covering McNight out of the backfield? T. Moeler? ONeal? That will be a toughie.

I'm not to worried about Mcknight; he's got great speed, but our defense does a fine job taking away the outside runs.

Its the inside stuff I'm worried about; but I don't think we'll be seeing that from him.


Now Stafon Johnson on the other hand....

It;s the dump offs in space to McNight that worries me. A missed tackle and he's gone! We need a sure tackler on him. And a guy who can pass cover.

One tackler that never misses is the sideline.

You've just got to string him out to the sidelines and not let him cut back.

The cut backs are where I go "oh sh**"

The ones that take a while to develop don't worry me, however a quick dump can really wreak some havoc. If we're going man on man, who better than Freeman or Lil' Animal?

:oh:
