What's Tom Allen supposed to say but IMO blitzing is not the way to get this offense. Tulsa did a good job slowing down the passing game and IMO that's what you have to do. Drop 8 and hope that CJ throws a few turnovers and also hope the 8 dropping are good enough to rally to the ball to stop the run.
IMO blitzing is a very bad idea against these WRs. 1 on 1 on our WRs? Sure go for it.

Agree that these WRs are part of the problem with blitzing.
And it's not just beating 1v1's while the top-shelf OL holds up against the rush.
They also have been very good at being there when CJ has to throw the hot route; that takes two, and they're doing their half (as has Ruckert).
But that brings in the other half of the equation, CJ's eyes. IMHO he already sees the field better than Fields. After what Indiana put on tape last year (and last week vs MSU), it's very doubtful that they have much left for CJ.
CJ is not as accurate as Fields was/is (who is?) especially on the deep ball. But he makes up for it with his own attributes. (And he's very accurate)

Make a good point and I hadn't thought of it before... I agree that CJ sees the field better and as a result he's not prone to holding onto the ball like JF did. IMO I pray they blitz because we have the best OL in the nation, the best WRs, a top TE and a QB like you mention that knows where to go with the ball with a quick release.
Part of the reason we killed Maryland was because they blitzed a lot. Sure they got in CJs face a bit but how many throws did he complete with people in his face? An extreme amount of them.
If CJ continues on with a 70% completion percentage he will only lack the wheels of JF. Hopefully CJ continues the dominance on offense.

No one can top JFs ability to throw the deep out routes or throwing to the far side of the ball. Another aspect of CJs I like is his ability/trust to throw the ball when a DB has his back to him. So many throws where the DB is in tight coverage but isn't looking and CJ just fits it right over the defender.
On a side note. Anyone else see that no offensive lineman graded as champions vs Maryland? I think we are going to see our OLs best game in 4 days.

Well, Mr. Old and Grumpy as Fuck....
, it's because for most people just posting this:is a hell of a lot easier and quicker than than posting this:
PRESSER BULLETS: RYAN DAY SAYS CAM BROWN, HASKELL GARRETT WILL BE BACK AGAINST INDIANA, AL WASHINGTON OPENS UP ON K'VAUGHAN POPE, DALLAS GANT
RYAN DAY
- Day says some of the freshmen and younger guys are among those he didn't expect to be playing as much as they are. Day says it's "good to see Mitch Rossi doing what he's doing." Day says Steele Chambers has been a "pleasant surprise" and expects his role to continue to increase this season.
- Day says the Buckeyes were "just hanging on" at the end of last year's Indiana game, and says that Ohio State had questionable decision-making in that game.
- Day says "it's gonna be a little while" before Quinn Ewers is ready to play for Ohio State. Says he has to get "more accustomed to the day-to-day grind." Day says Ewers might be more ready to play around bowl practice time.
- On the offensive line, Day says the Buckeyes have played some depth because of the emergence of a guy like Matt Jones.
- Day says getting rest and working on fundamentals were both key for the Buckeyes over the bye week.
- "I think we're in a lot better place than we were at the beginning of the season." Day says the Buckeyes have to take things one game at a time the rest of the way.
- On C.J. Stroud and the Heisman Trophy: "When someone gives criticism or praise, you have to treat it the same way ... you can't ride that rollercoaster."
- Day says Stroud communicates well, and the better he plays the more energy he has. "I'm encouraged with what I see in terms of leadership."
- Day says Matt Jones has played well, and that "we'll always try to put the best players in there." Day says part of the bye week is identifying the best personnel over the last several weeks.
- On figuring out if Dawand Jones truly loved football during his recruiting process, Day says "he told me, and I believed him." Day says Jones is a "skill player in a big man's body." Day says if he continues to "embrace the grind" on a daily basis, "his ceiling is very high."
- Day says the Buckeyes' prep the last two weeks was "excellent" and that the team has been looking to keep things the same since figuring out what the best routine has been.
- "You have to pay four quarters against Indiana, so we're planning on doing that."
- Day says the Buckeyes are "starting to believe in themselves" and that they have to continue practicing well.
- Day says "the only times we get ourselves out of wack" is when the Buckeyes start losing focus on fundamentals.
- Day says the Buckeyes "can't splinter" if they go down early in a game, which they have a few teams this season.
- Day says Indiana has dealt with injuries but should be getting some guys back this week. Day says Indiana is "much better than their record indicates."
- Day says Ohio State is "still a work in progress" and needs to focus on the task at hand in beating Indiana.
- "I'm very encouraged just across the board" with players talking football in the locker room.
- Day says he expects Cam Brown and Haskell Garrett to be back for Ohio State against Indiana.
- Day says a team has to be smart about the amount of guys it takes that are somewhat raw but might have very high upside. Day says the first priority is recruiting guys that "want to be at Ohio State."

Playing all four quarters is up there with "score more points than the other guy" in the cannon of sound football strategy

Would like to see the starters play four quarters now that we're heading in the right direction.
