Defense leads Ohio State

DON RUIZ; The News Tribune
Published: September 11th, 2007 01:00 AM




Ohio State has produced a lot of defensive numbers already this season: low ones. Through two games, the 10th ranked Buckeyes lead the nation in total defense. They have allowed an average of four points and seven first downs per game, 1.7 yards per rush and 5.6 yards per catch.
However, those numbers have come against Youngstown State of what has been called Division I-AA and Akron of the Mid-America Conference.

UW Football Notebook | Huskies shift to face team that relies on power, size

By Bob Condotta
Seattle Times staff reporter







A week after facing an opponent in Boise State that presented so many formations that the Huskies didn't have enough time to prepare for them all, Washington will get almost the opposite this week in Ohio State.
"This is going to be more of a knockdown, draw-out affair," said UW coach Tyrone Willingham. "Probably not the constant movement and adjustment that we had to make a week ago."

If coach Tyrone Willingham were to take the time -- which he doesn't have right now -- to illustrate the difference between the Washington football program now and when he took over nearly three years ago, his poster boy might be Jordan Reffett.

Interesting that the Defensive line coach for UW thinks the formations will be so easy to read from tOSU.
Or, as UW defensive line coach Randy Hart — who played for the Buckeyes from 1967 to 1969 and coached there from '82 to '87 — said: "They have great faith in their ability to put two backs in the backfield and come after you."

If only the Buckeyes had some speed on the field - Small, Dane, Hartline, Saine, Mo Wells and others apparently don't count.

Well I have said I thought OSU enjoyed an adavantage in coaching. That said I can't believe for the life of me that UW coaches and players are dumb enough to just watch the film from this year and think thats what our offense is always going to do.

What did Pope Urban say about JT's style and the size of the checkers? I think this is the week JT and his staff redeem themselves from the NC fiasco.

From one of the links grad posted:

Did you know: OSU's Jim Tressel, with 199 wins, is the third winningest active coach in major college football, trailing Florida State's Bobby Bowden and Penn State's Joe Paterno, and tied with Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer.

This game is a shot at 200 for JT.

I wasn't sure whether I should rep you or ding you for posting pictures of In-n-Out burgers, especially Double-Doubles. Let's just say that if they'd been "Animal Style" you would've been dinged for sure. Damn I miss those things.

I think we'll do the exact opposite what Washington is expecting. Sure we'll run the power football from time to time, but think of the texas offensive gameplan from last year. I think we'll keep changing formations, keep changing the angle we're hitting them from, and we'll use our SPEED more than anything. If we can get Ray Small back we will be even more capable of hitting them where they least suspect.

It was nice to see Ty Willingham say we're probably going to be the best defense they've seen all year. Thats a nice complement, but we have the talent and CAPABILITY to attack in both ways on offense. Wether we try to attack on both fronts is up to the coaches, but we'll see.

To paraphrase; when JT has bigger checkers he is very conservative and lets his talent grind you down. When the other guys checkers get bigger JT gets aggressive and is a gambler.

hmm... true to a degree, however we had bigger chips than nearly everyone last year, and outside of the second half at Illinois, i'm not sure that i would characterize our O as conservative...

that being said, if we couldn't have Tressel, Urban Meyer is the only guy i would want...

Yeah, that's pretty close. I saw it on the-ozone, in Columns & Features--probably in the YSU preview stuff.
