tOSU @ Maryland, Sat Nov 19, 3:30 pm, ABC

I wonder what our chances will be at ND next year with CJ off to the pros.
I haven't seen enough of McCord to have a feeling one way or another. Day's track record with QBs has me leaning towards we should be fine in that regard. There are other areas that have been slowly coming to light during Day's tenure that are much more concerning to me than QB.

Here's what I want to know: Why the hell can't we pass rush the entire game like we did on Maryland's next to last possession?
  • 1st & 10 at MD 16
    (0:25 - 4th) Taulia Tagovailoa sacked by Zach Harrison for a loss of 7 yards to the Mary 9

  • 2nd & 17 at MD 9
    (0:09 - 4th) Taulia Tagovailoa sacked by Zach Harrison for a loss of 8 yards Taulia Tagovailoa fumbled, recovered by OhSt Steele Chambers , return for 0 yards , return for 1 yd, (Noah Ruggles KICK)

1.
Because they had to pass the ball downfield with slow developing routes.
2. Just a SWAG here; because, when the LBs are not blitzing, they're going back into pass defense. So against Tag, Sean Clifford, and presumably McCarthy, you have to think contain first, sack second because there's nothing between you and 20 -30 yds of the field if he gets outside the contain.

I guess it's only fair to point out how important the running game is to consistency on offense and allowing the passing attack to breath. If they start Hayden or play him in the 1st half, it's a much more comfortable game.
...
It seemed like Maryland stopped double teaming Julian when Dallan replaced TreyVeon and started moving the ball with the run game. Then Fleming and Emeka started consistently catching passes and we got them on their heels a lot more.
