Game Thread Oregon State @ Ohio State - 09/01/18, 12:00PM (ABC)

My mistake. I added the difference wrong because I am drunk

Ryan Day is actually a great coach

Ryan Day got you drunk... Best coach?

 

[kinch]

Do you even "quarterback who came in in Robert Smith's class and ended up transferring to Duke," Bro?

Don't "bro" me

 

[charlohiottean]

I really like our four-headed running back beast.

I really like having a quarterback who gets rid of the ball before he even receives the snap.

I really like having a defensive front 4 that plays like a front 7.

 

[NFBuck]

Only 4 QB runs. It's a new era of Buckeye football.

I don't have any objections to qb runs in general. In fact, with Tate's abilities, they likely have a place in this offense. But I'll be glad to have a little break from it being a focus in the base gameplan.

Ryan Day might be a head coach someday.

At tOSU....

Quick point. It poured. A bit of a shout out to the guys who lifted the field and put that drainage in those years ago. That field drained quickly. If you look at other places, they are going through hell trying to get the water off the field.

True but I think we just saw the future of what the OSU offense is going to look like from now on under Meyer. The offense today just looked absolutely beautiful. Beavers had no shot in hell at even coming close to slowing it down.

I think I recall that it was some sort of suction system that they put in when they did the prescription turf right?

Maybe, but I suspect if/when Tate gets his turn as a starter, runs will be a big part again. Of course, the difference is that designed runs fit his skill set. JTB would run, but he wasn't necessarily best suited to be utilized that way.

Better teams with a better front 7 are going to make you pay for running the "read" option and always giving it to the back.

 

[Hetuck]

I'm pretty sure a lot of offenses are going to look good playing Oregon State. But yeah, the offense looked really good. We won't really know how good they are until they play TCU.

Establish tendency against the crappy teams. Break it once in a while at key points against the good ones.

Hehe. You said “suction system”.

 

[Jagdaddy]

Love that the pop pass is back in the arsenal. Also love the fast pace in the first half. If the D becomes trustworthy, I'd like to see them go fast most of the time.

 

[Jaxbuck]

That's the idea.

Not sure the QB can do it.

On the other hand, if the OL is as dominant as it was today, simply handing off to the caliber of backs they have on the roster will be sufficient.
