I think Urban has been holding out in non-conference games for the sake of team improvement. Why run up the score and show the world all the tricks up your sleeve while at the same time risking unnecessary injuries. Better to keep it close and only flex when you need to. Michigan State better watch out next week!

I don't agree with you necessarily. I think we want to believe that to feel better except I don't believe that Urban is telling his guys not to tackle.
Tackling problems have been a consistent issue all year so far.
And if you ever watched the Florida offenses back when Urban coached there, in particular when Tebow was the quarterback, you can tell that OSU needs a lot of polish to the offense still.
In many plays, things take too long to develop, movements are not as sharp and quick, some indecisiveness, etc...

This is also not OSU defense football. I used to live for the shutouts during the Katzenmoyer, Hawk, Wilhelm, Na'ill Digg, Carpenter, Rudzinski, and Laurinaitus eras...
Hardly anyone ever gained 100 yards against use let alone a sing rushed getting more than 50-60 yards...
We are supposed to have an awesome defensive line but where are all of the sacks? The TFLs? Not many so far and especially against subpar teams...
Poor play at the cornerback position today. They played off most of the game. We are supposed to have great corners too. Could have played more bump and run, man coverage so
we could have blitzed more today too....but did not happen...

Just my 2 cents...disappointed in lack of fundamentals with this current team. Most of these guys played since Pop Warner but all of a sudden they cannot tackle? Come on...

I agree with you completely, although it would be awesome if Meyer were holding back:biggrin:

Anyone remember when Cooper was coach? Or Tressel? Most of the time, the defenses kept the team in the game. Remember the year where we barely beat most teams by 4 points or less?
Our Defense kept us in every one of those games. Quite a few games were actually won by the defense and special teams...
Most of those years, especially when Cooper was coach, we wished we had better offenses...remember the years with Stanley Jackson and Germaine? But we had great defenses.
We rarely had lapses on the defense side of the ball.

We all know that Urban is an offensive genius but that is no excuse. Why can't we have offensive and defensive genius? A lot of college and pro teams have this element.

Getting off of the soapbox now... I trust they will get better in a quick hurry...

:oh:.......:io:
