Wonder who starts at QB in the 2nd half?

Was just wondering that. Part of me fully expects it to be Cardale.

I figured there would be a bit of a hangover from VT, but this is a bit much.....

What is the game plan...out talent them... better tell that to the OL.

Looks like that's exactly the gameplan. The playcalling has been a lot of "beat your man" plays. That's a great way to help out an already struggling OL.

 

[Bestbuck36]

He's got 14 first half carries for an average of 3.4 yards...

Not enough considering the effectiveness throwing it.

First half offense was a Dave Kingman at bat...swing for the fences and maybe hit a single but likely strikeout.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

Blake Williams ‏@BWilliamsBSB
Ohio State with seven penalties for 55 yards in first half. That's 11 for 113 in 6 quarters of football

Maybe this is just their next-level way of blocking Perry?

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

I take exception to this. We've seen that Urban often plays to his opponents. ESPECIALLY early in the season. Nothing on offense has suggested to me that we CAN'T move the ball. It's just been about execution in an already vanilla offensive scheme.

Okay now I disagree. If we were playing a good team on a short week, we could very well be in trouble. To think otherwise is more homer than Buckyle and I combined.

Still don't think we'd lose btw.

JT with our shortest average is also at 3.4 yards its really a wash and you need to accept that everyone is failing the first half pretty hard.

Hawaii trying to emulate the wrong version of Florida.

Alumni Band Quad Script Ohio is the best thing.

Starting with the OLine - especially interior OLine - in my imo

Remember when we would kill for 232 yards of offense in a half:

Monday at halftime nobody was feeling great either. I suspect we come out and blow their doors off in the 3rd quarter. Can't keep up these "meh" first halfs, though.
