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

....

Takeaways
  • Oregon State is likely Ohio State’s worst opponent on the 2018 schedule, but the Buckeyes need some time to gel, with a new quarterback, a new left side of the offensive line, and a new linebacker corps.
  • Jake Luton at quarterback and the offensive line appear to be solid, and probably the strength of the Beavers’ team.
  • Watch for the small things — how Haskins does with accuracy and decision making with RPOs and reads, how explosive Weber and Dobbins are, how the left side of the line holds up, if the linebackers make mental mistakes or incorrect reads, and how the secondary does in coverage.
Picks
  • My pick: Ohio State 52, Oregon State 13
  • S&P+: Ohio State 52, Oregon State 10, 99.2% win probability
  • F/+: Ohio State by 33, 97.2% win probability

Opponent Watch: 3 Things To Watch For From Oregon State

Jake-Luton.jpg


This is Oregon State’s first time playing Ohio State since 1984. Their last game played in 2017 was a 69-10 loss at Oregon, to conclude the season at 1-11.

Head coach Jonathan Smith is in his first game at the helm for the Beavers and is trying to bring the program back to the glory years of the late 1990s when there was some wide receiver named Chad Johnson on the roster. Oregon State has not had a winning season since 2013.

Kickoff is at 12pm EST, but you are a West Coast team, so it could be feeling like it is 9 am with your internal body clock.

For a player on Oregon State, these are a few painful realities as the Beavers prepare to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first game for both teams this year.

With all of these things in mind, what are some of the things that the Beavers may do against the Buckeyes in their quest for success?

Look For Oregon State To Get The Ball Out Of Jake Luton’s Hands Quickly

Earlier this week, Oregon State announced that Jake Luton would be starting at quarterback. Listed at 6’7″, 234 lbs., Luton suffered a thoracic spine injury last year against Washington State on this play,



and missed the remaining eight games of the 2017 season.

With Ohio State’s deep and talented defensive line, Oregon State may try to get the ball out of Luton’s hands quickly on passing downs. The leading receiver for Oregon State in 2017 was tight end Noah Togiai, who had 34 receptions for 461 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 13.6 yards per reception.

Togiai suffered an injury in a recent scrimmage, and was not listed on the recent two-deep roster for Oregon State.



Will Oregon State Sell Out Against The Run Versus Ohio State?

As Michael Citro and I discussed on the latest episode of The Silver Bullets Podcast, Oregon State plays a 3-4 defensive front, with a couple of nose tackles who are both over 320 pounds (Kalani Vakameilalo, Elu Aydon).

As a matter of fact, Aydon is listed up above at 378 lbs., but here is the main point – with such massive interior defensive linemen, will the Oregon State strategy be to force Ohio State to the air, hoping that the Beaver secondary can slow down what should be a talented arsenal of Buckeye receivers?

Looking forward to having 4-5 drinks at the local establishment and collecting a beaver pelt.

Samesies. Going to the routine alumni game watch establishment and starting the day off right with a few pints and Buckeye football. I'm so damn ready to see this team with all the talent we've amassed through recent recruiting cycles. It will be fun to see the rubber meeting the road.
