Some thoughts...

1. We have to stop walking linebackers right up to the LOS. Too many times they almost slipped past everyone because once they do theres no one. Overall just need to be less aggressive.

2. I'm a little concerned about the rushing game. We literally have regressed every single game. Then again maybe that's because we know now that Dwayne is a top 5 talent in the draft?

3. Arnette continues to be lost when the ball goes down field. He is killing us on 3rd down with his PI calls.

4. Overall I thought the safeties played better. No huge rushes and I think it's great we played an option based offense considering who we play next week.

5. RBs have to hit the hole faster and stop dancing. I know they want to hit the big run but we need 5-6 yards to set up 2nd short.

6. Is it crazy I liked Hilliard at MLB best? Also thought Booker was damn good too and would like to see him more on first down.

7. WRs just do an incredible job blocking and also catching with their hands. So glad Hartline is the coach because I can tell a difference. Glad to see Victor rewarded for his great team work the past few weeks.

8. DTs really did a good job without Landers today. The depth allows us to sit players who otherwise would otherwise play in a more meaningful game.

9. 4 sacks todag even though there weren't many passing attempts. Down 2 starters and we still can get home.

10. Dwayne is the best QB in the country and IMO it's a crime he's not talked about more.

Overall we gave up 3x35yard plays but none resulted in scores so ill take it. Other wise we did what we were supposed to do and I'm glad we go into next week happy.

Next week IMO is the season. Can't lose that and expect those fucks to drop 2 games because I highly doubt that's happening. I think PED is a fraud on defense and their offense is shockingly 1 dimensional. The potential is there for it to be an ass beating but I'm concerned for our defense.

I literally am expecting a 45-38 type of game next week if our defense doesnt come to play. If they keep it all in front of them I like us 45-23.

OHIO STATE TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS EARLY, COASTS TO FINISH IN FINAL TUNE-UP AGAINST TULANE BEFORE TRIP TO PENN STATE

96797_h.jpg


Ohio State’s game against Tulane on Saturday at Ohio Stadium might as well have been over at halftime.

Unless you wagered on Saturday’s game and were waiting to see if the Buckeyes would score that one final touchdown to cover the spread (they finally did, on a 2-yard run by Tate Martell with 1:01 remaining in the game), the second half was basically devoid of intrigue. After taking a 42-6 lead into halftime, Ohio State took nearly all of its starters out for the final 30 minutes of Saturday’s game, and coasted to the finish in its 49-6 win.

The question now is, was that a good thing going into one of the Buckeyes’ most important games of the season – which will also likely be one of their toughest tests of the season – against Penn State next week?

Ultimately, the first order of business for the Buckeyes on Saturday was to take care of the Green Wave quickly. And they did that, scoring touchdowns on every one of their six first-half possessions – while only allowing one touchdown on their six first-half defensive series – to seize full control of the game by the end of the second quarter.

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins had another spectacular performance passing the ball on Saturday, completing 21 of 24 passes for 304 yards and five touchdowns, and the Buckeyes didn’t lose any turnovers. Ohio State’s defense, meanwhile, recorded 14 tackles for loss and held the Green Wave to just 256 yards and one score on 11 total drives.

Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer, in his first game back on the sidelines after serving a three-game suspension to start the season, was happy with how his team played on both sides of the ball.

“We played pretty good defense, still can get better, but overall very pleased,” Meyer said. “Then offensively, Dwayne was 21 for 24 for 300 yards, five touchdowns, and we didn't turn the ball over.”

This

The over is the best bet for next week. Both of these offenses can hurt the other D.

Echo many of the same thoughts on D, have to re-watch but they still struggle with run fits. Athleticism bales them out against the Tulane's.
