Game Thread tOSU vs BYE, Sat. Oct. 24th

Back on topic - tOSU vs. Bye.
I know we have a tough time scoring against Bye, but I believe we at least match our highest point total in the last 10 years against them. And these game reps will be invaluable for Fahey next week against SC.

I just hope both teams have fun.

Fans will be calling for TSC to come off the bench before the game even starts.

This is because they never let their emotions determine anything when it comes to football.

Thinking about the USC rushing defense. They are giving up:
On 1st down - 3.65 ypc (4 TD)
On 2nd down - 4.49 ypc (7 TD)
On 3rd down - 2.04 ypc (0 TD)
On 4th down - 2.38 ypc (0 TD)

Thoughts on the above stats?

I'm guessing teams are mostly running on 3rd downs in clear running 1-2 yard type situations with how bad USCs pass D is.

USC is 109th in passing yards allowed per game. The secondary/coverage is clearly their major weak spot. If the OL can manage to not allow constant instant pressure, we can still exploit them majorly even with Fahey.

Yeah, it's obvious that USCs passing D is the weak link on their defense. But establishing a solid run game is going to go a long way in opening up our passing game. Gotta think that Patterson is going to go all out on pressuring Luke.

I could be out of my mind, but I think establishing a short quick passing game to set up the run game better is the way to go here. USC is definitely going to be zeroing in on the run from the start because that's what they expect. Start popping some quick ones and getting 1st downs and they will have to back off.

I heard BYE is running a spread wing t, triple option brotherly shove offense, Lord knows we always struggle vs that

And you just know the Bucks will go with a 3 man front. They gonna get killed.

As long as it works I'm all for it!

No assurance anything is going to work of course. But I like that better than coming out and trying to force pound the ball into a completely loaded box.

Day says they are going to give both QB's reps with the first team this week.

I see first downs with 3 straight runs. Shit, I could QB that Offense.
