Ohio State has now won ten in a row by a combined score of 409 to 128, or 40.9 to 12.1 on a per game basis. During its winning streak, Ohio State has scored 40 or more points seven times ... but in the other three contests has scored 24 points or less.
Here is a complete list of Ohio State's point totals in those ten victories: 21; 22; 24; 40; 45; 45; 48; 52; 54; 58. A strange grouping.

Tressel always put the hammer down on Northwestern after that 2004 game, as if to tell them to get their shine box.

In 2011, Braxton had 1 completion in 4 attempts, a 17-yard TD to Jake Stoneburner in a 17-7 win.

Well how can I not love poking holes in ttun? I get it though, just feel like we have to improve our run game for The Game, or we might be in for a rough conversation. I want to come in after a resounding win over ttun, but I'm starting to get unnerved a bit with how the offense has looked lately. If we play at our talent level, we'll kill them.

Let Michigan do what other teams are doing to stop our run game. Then we hopefully just throw over the top and win by 50. I bet they don't stay in the box for long.

It hasn't been working but they insist on using it this way. Like someone in the replies mentioned, the cutback lanes were and will probably be there in the future, but are not being used. Either Day/Wilson insist on running it this way whether they fail on not, or they are counting on taking advantage of over-pursuit at the end of the season.
And if the RBs aren't healthy enough to use cut back lanes, they're in trouble. Alternating them probably helps temporarily, but it doesn't seem like these nagging injuries will be going anywhere for the rest of the season. They desperately need to get healthy or use Hayden more on some of these runs.

What do you need water for, Sunshine?
looks like williams was eyeing the cutback on the right side behind dawand jones, right when he got the hand-off, but then decide to follow wypler. but matt jones (55?) didn't seal the hole that wypler made.
or maybe it's just my untrained eye.

I lead, you follow.
The outside zone to boundary I mentioned earlier is just that play. A few words on that.
- the original tweet says "push" from the oline. In that outside stretch, you really don't get your typical "push" as we know it. That's more for your vertical zone runs.
- failed to get a reach block on the backside 1tech.
- Wyler climbs to the Mike, but a tad late.
- Dawand isn't able to cut off the WILL, like I hinted at in my previous post.
The problem with outside zone to the boundary is that the read point is the tackle, but you have less room and time to work with in making that decision to plant your foot and cut back across the RT's ass. Generally your cutback lane is (what would have been) the weakside A gap, so yeah this asking a lot. Any front side blocking defeats have to be made up for by the RBs eyes, and over pursuit from the backside has to be punished. But in this case it has to be done immediately.
- @shetuck is correct about Williams eyeing up the cut. Should have trusted his eyes and instincts. The backside edge widened with CJ on any potential boot. So the hole is clearly there.
Circles back around to assignment defeats up front and RBs not compensating for them when possible. Also doesn't help that these calls are far from our bread and butter. So the lack of execution isn't all that surprising either.

there's another tweet, of another run play, where williams does try to take exactly this cutback "across the RT's ass".
looks like he was wanting to hit the B-gap, but then stopped when stover got chucked into the gap, and then tried to cutback to the outside. and he probably would have made it except that he slipped when he tried to plant his left foot, and went down.
#99 (adebawore) absolutely mauls stover, and you can see that stover knows he got manhandled from his reaction (slamming his fist on the grass) after the play.

6 inch wet grass makes it very hard to cut back. One of the many factors that worked in NW's favor and one that's being overlooked compared to the 60 MPH winds. NW is used to playing in that shit, we're not and we won't the rest of the season.
