Hackenberg spouts PSU's offensive strategy below. Hoping that loose lips sink ships? Luke, do I need to text this to you? Why am I thinking about Florida's 2006 defensive line saying they were going to pressure Troy Smith?

I [Hackenberg] know how this place works but I’ve watched film of all your [QB's of tOSUs previous opponents] games against Ohio State and we’re taking a page or two from everybody’s playbook

The best way to describe it [the PSU game plan] would be a “smorgasbord of success”. I [Hackenberg] liked the up-tempo, quick drop, quick throw approach Goff used mixed with the way Stave used his wide receivers and Rudock used his tight ends, a dash of spreading the field a la Colter and Siemian then adding something none of you have, a power running game. Each of you [QB's of tOSU's previous opponents], to some extent exploited weaknesses in the Buckeye defense, we [PSU] plan on going to the all you can eat buffet with our approach. Their DB’s are going to have cover our wideouts, especially one of the best in all of college football, Allen Robinson, and if they had trouble with Abbrederis from Wisconsin, Robinson is another level of talent. We’ll give their linebackers multiple reads on every play—do I rush, get the back out of the backfield or take the tight end? We’ve seen OSU have issues in a couple of those areas. We have a very solid offensive line and they’ll give me time to throw and guys like Bill Belton room to run.

It looks like a pick six would burst Hackenberg's bubble of bravado and confidence:

Hackenberg: I’m sure it won’t happen this week. Stave: Oh, it’ll happen .... I don’t care how many times you throw caution to the wind, at some point Ohio State will pick it off and take it to the house for six.
