Game Thread THE GAME, Sat 11/28 @ 12pm ET, ABC

Have the lead and we get the ball. Yeah, I can live with that.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Zeke has 99. JT has 64.

 

[Redhawk]

Zeke with 171 right now. Do not take the ball out of his hands.

I think that the whole team rushing.

99. But I agree - feed the beast

 

[jlb1705]

Rudock is a shit QB. He's having success because they are running good plays and he has all day to sit in the pocket. His ball just floats out there. Make some adjustments and they can get a couple picks.

It's shocking how little trust there is in the pass game for Ohio State at this point. The talent is there. I don't think Barrett is as good of a decision-maker in the pass game as he was in the middle of last season. They really miss Noah Brown, and Jalin Marshall is not as good on the outside as he was in the slot. I also don't think there is a go-to pass play in the book at this point, which is troubling.

gotta get more pressure so the DBs can work

 

[dragurd]

2nd Half:
Only 14 pts but Offense looks good
Stay with the read/option but need to go downfield to keep these guys honest on D
Our Defense needs to tackle better and put more pressure on Ruddock
Pass D has not looked good thus far but only 10 pts on the board for the skunkbears

More tempo on the runs. Go and run it down their throat

 

[buckeyebri]

Making Rudock look like John Elway. That needs to stop.

If we are going to struggle in coverage, then we should be doing a heck of a lot more blitzing in the second half...

 

[Woody1968]

Confused why Lee is playing son much coverage instead of the rush.

Bell and Powell need to step up.

I think it is because nobody respects scUM's running game. I don't know if Lee was more seriously injured in the first part of the season, because he does not look the same as last year.

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Continue running that zone read up their twats, ando shut down their run.

Keep that up and we control the game

 

[Drubuck]

D needs to tackle and take better angles. Like said above. Foreskinette is just floating the ball out here. LBs and DBs take better angles on some of these plays, its an easy pick. Lee looks lost out there today

 

[Hetuck]

DB's aren't the problem really. Linking up LB's over WR's has been the problem all year

All year every year for every team. That's the most exploited matchup is it not?

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Rudock is a [Mark May] QB. He's having success because they are running good plays and he has all day to sit in the pocket. His ball just floats out there. Make some adjustments and they can get a couple picks.

^ This ^. He looks shitty when he's under pressure...blitz the fucker every down.

 

[melecoaze]

also dont know why we dont blitz on 3rd down, dropping 7-8 is not working
