Game Thread Tulane @ Ohio State - 09/22/18, 3:30PM (BTN)

It's not the scheme I'm worried about, it's the fundamentals. I don't trust this team to consistently tackle at this point.

This. I normally would not bat an eye when a play gets to the second level and our back seven gives up lanes with poor angles when its the backups. However, this team has definitely shown that something is fundamentally wrong in this area. On the coaching staff at this point and will bite us in the ass if we can't fix it.

Pursuit angles may be the only thing that worries me at this point. DBs lack ball skills at times, but big passes are going to happen and D Line covers this weakness somewhat. LBs are not our best unit, but I think they are are trending in right direction.

If we can contain big plays into 20-25 yard plays and not 40-90 yard plays, we will not be challenged seriously until playoffs.

Sigh... another week done and another week to wait. Always the most sobering part of the week. Literally
Need another drink or 10. Can't wait for this weekend's game. My parents coming into town. Great weather, great matchup and love watching Buckeye football with my dad!! And St Penn can literally go shove a soap on a rope up their asses because Haskins and company about to go in dry.
