So, I was starting to feel some kind of lingering PTSD right around Penn State.... and while I was watching JTT turn into Bobby Boucher (in the best possible way), I was trying to get a sense of what the dread was.... and ironically, I figured out it was Braxton Miller.
Later once I figured out what it was, I went back and looked, and sure enough, we had 8 penalties and like 7 TFL's and 2 Sacks.
Braxton Miller was the the QB of Ohio State, because if you lost track of him for a split second, it was 70 yards to the house. He also had limitations. Those limitations were exposed if we got behind the chains, and Braxton gave up a LOT of negative plays. (Kenny Guiton? Hardly any, but no 70 yards to the house, or not often he did have a couple nice runs)
Where we are here is, too many negative or no gain plays (why do people hate the bubble screens? This is part of it) Can they score in bunches? For sure. But there's too much double digit down and distance, and beyond that the play calling doesn't seem to acknowledge this for some reason. I mean, to be fucking honest, if they pounded it twice and let CJ pick up 3rd and 4 a bunch, he would probably have some ridiculous conversion rate, if they have to go 3rd and 10+ against georgia's D, its going to suck.
