Let's fucking go boys get a stop here

 

[Jagdaddy]

All it will take is some defensive front look mixing and aggression. We'll see if they actually do it.

 

[Steve19]

Now, we’ll see if coaches can settle team and focus them

Playing not to lose. AKA turtleing.

Bitching and whining goes in the BMW thread. Not this one.

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

No no no no no.......
I don't like the feel of this.

Back to my room.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

The Buckeyes absolutely had the chance to end this game in the first half and then gave up a 44-yard pass on 3rd-and-16. Now it's a ball game.

Playing not to lose. AKA turtleing.

STOP IT

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Still relaxed, defense has been very close to a turnover.

 

[shetuck]

we're long overdue to pick off gabriel.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Dillion is getting it all scrambling contain

 

[Buckeneye]

Seeing the differences between the Tennessee and Oregon structures.

Ducks run a lot more 2 high and aggressively get their corners in the run fit on the perimeter. Which is why those swings to Hendo aren't being dialed up.

So either you keep firing down field to take advantage of aggressive DBs coming downhill, or you find it in yourself to create a running game against the lighter boxes.

 

[Gothmog8]

an INT would have been optimal there

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

damn.... almost an INT

 

[OHSportsFan]

How many almost INTs

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Just snag one of these balls. That’s all I’m asking. One.
