Game Thread Ohio State vs Army, 09/16/17 @ 4:30 ET (FOX)

[OregonBuckeye]

Harsh, man.

I know, but the QB development is about on par with Les Miles at this point

 

[TooTall]

Apparently the refs don't realize they can call holding penalties on Army too. Dear lord they run the ball 50 freakin times a quarter and yet they magically never get called, yet anytime we move the ball 10yds we get called.

That would be un-American..

 

[Jake]

JK Dobbins 7 carries 63 yards 9.0 ypc
Barrett 6 carries 40 yards 6.7 ypc
Weber 3 carries 11 yards 3.7 ypc

Those aren't bad running stats, but that's too many carries from Barrett, and not enough from the RB's.

Business as usual.

 

[Drubuck]

Fuck that put 6 dlineman on the field that'll slow them down

Fuck that. Put 6 long snappers on the field and that will do something to them

 

[bukIpower]

Agree 100%, if Barrett continues to start at QB. If another guy gets a shot, perhaps a different story.

I saw both QBs warm up during that long stretch... well UFM this will be a close game either way so are you going to get your back up some work or continue to be a idiot and trot JT out there?

I was happy with the start... get some easy throws and run the ball exclusively. However once we tried to open it up just a tad JT melted. Try Haskins... please just try someone else so we know if it's JT or not

1. JT still hasn't completed a pass that's considered intermediate

2. 1st and 10 at the 20 and we go 3 straight passes

3. 99 yard touchdown drive

4. 2 or 3 holding penalties

5. Good start and then Kevin tried to build off all the short throws and JT can't hit it.

6. What the hell has happened to baker? My god make a play.

7. We won't be elite until we find something better then Webb. Webb has been on the receiving end so many times. What a joke

Fuck it man we still don't run the ball with our backs, we still can't complete a pass past 7 yards for [Mark May] and of course it's too close of a game to get Haskins in.

#2 - That's entirely on Wilson.

I think it's just Barrett at this point. He's done but Urban doesn't want to believe it.

 

[buckeyes_rock]

We are averaging 7.6 yards on 18 carries, so why the fuck have we thrown it 20 times?

Dobbins and Weber have 10 carries - combined.

I think back to the thrashing of scUM in 2015 and JT only threw 15 passes and we ran it 54 times. What happened....

 

[melecoaze]

That would be un-American..

Isn't rooting against Army as well? At least I'm not American

 

[Steve19]

If Army commands the clock 65% again in the second half, this defense will be gassed big time in the 4th quarter

#2 - That's entirely on Wilson.

Well we had done so well with the short passes that a more developed pass should've been attempted. I don't like the play call but they gave JT the confidence boost he needed now JT needs to make a throw

How about we give our RBs more than 10 combined carries in a half?

Unfortunately, I agee. There's so little upside to continuing to put Barrett out there. Playing Haskins will decrease the QB runs (hopefully), and allow the offense to build for the future.

 

[Arch2H]

Maybe we need to run the triple option...

True, but if we're not going to change the QB it would seem wise to make him less of a focal point of the offense. Wear out the runnings backs.

Not sure Dobbins and Weber even need a post game shower at this point.
