'IT'S EVERYBODY': OHIO STATE'S HORRID OFFENSIVE DISPLAY AGAINST CLEMSON PUTS TIM BECK AND URBAN MEYER UNDER MICROSCOPE
Tim Beck knew the questions were coming. Tucked away in a corner of a locker room at University of Phoenix Stadium, he stood up straight and took the heat from reporters after the group he helps coach produced next to nothing in Ohio State's stunning 31-0 loss to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.
“It's all of it. It's personnel, it's everything. It all ties into guys when you're running an offense, sometimes there are tendencies,” Beck said. “That just happens. It's natural. Every football team has that type of stuff. Sometimes that takes place, personally.”
Fans flamed Beck after Ohio State's 17-14 loss to Michigan State last season that blew another chance at a Big Ten and national title. It happened again this year when the Buckeyes lost 24-21 to Penn State but the Buckeyes still earned their way to the College Football Playoff.
But everything ferociously came tumbling down against Clemson, when it was clear early on that the offense was not suited to score enough points to keep pace. The fact is, that was the case all season — the Tigers just exposed it even further.
“I think we got to create an identity of what we want to be,” Beck said.
It is odd that the 2016 season is over and the Buckeyes are still trying to create an identity on offense. Urban Meyer wants to see a power rushing attack set the ground work for play-action passing down the field. For that to happen, there must be a strong runner at tailback and an offensive line that can move people on the interior. Ohio State did nothing of the sort against Clemson, as the big guys up front were consistently outclassed.
Everything fell on J.T. Barrett's shoulders, who was often running for his life from the likes of Carlos Watkins, Christian Wilkins and others. When he had chances to make a play, his receivers weren't open, dropped passes, or he flat out missed them. Barrett has appeared hesitant all season. He did last year too even after winning the starting job back. As his position coach, that falls on Beck. The 2014 season seems like eons.
“As for myself, because that's all I can really talk about, I thought I worked really hard and prepped. Thought I had J.T. ready to go against a difficult defense,” Beck said. “I thought he played hard, he played tough. He made some mistakes as kids can do.”
