What Do You Want To See? Rutgers

Enough with the idle week stuff. Let’s get back to Buckeye football.
And it’s Rutgers. What more could we want. One of the also-rans of the B1G. Wait, OSU’s former defensive coordinator Chris Ash is the head coach now and has brought some of his Buckeye stuff to New Jersey? I’ll believe it when I see it. Hopefully we won’t see it.
But here are a few things I and the rest of the staff want to see.
Scott
A quick win: Let’s get this one over with early so some of the backups can get some quality minutes.
No injuries: Stay healthy, please.
No false starts: Self-explanatory.
Shutout: I will ask for one every week.
JC
Be ready: I want to see an intensity by the Buckeyes on both sides of the ball that indicates they will not take any team on the schedule lightly.
Poll this: I want the voters of the polls to know that the Buckeyes are on a mission this year with their “rebuilding” year.
You watching up there?: I want TTUN to take notice and booger-eater Jimbo to recognize what coaching means in The Big Ten and especially the “Rivalry”.
Split them up: I also want to see Ed Warriner & Tim Beck to separate … send one to the field … and trust in your talent…let loose!
Ben
Health part deux: I want to see a game with no significant injuries and a convincing win.
Don’t let up: In a week where there are three top-10 matchups, we are going to start to see teams separate themselves from the pack, and the Buckeyes need to maintain their momentum as well against Rutgers.
Shake your groove thing: Coming off a bye week can be tricky, so I want to see them get back into their groove early and put the pedal to the metal early and often.
Badgers? We need the stinkin’ Badgers: As a bonus I would like to see Wisconsin beat Michigan to shut those guys up for a while.
WVa
Nothing but base: The offense still needs to work out its base offense bugs and show the world how real this line is. I can imagine how good it will become the TTUN game. No sense wasting special stuff on Rutgers.
Take it to the house: The Silver Bullets will own all of the scoring defense numbers by the middle of the season, guaranteed. The more they score and have fun, the less they seem worried about whether the other team scores.
Growing pains: There are going to be mistakes and times the team lacks confidence in what they are doing, let that happen against Rutgers. The team from the east is less talented but players will be prepared to come in for their head coach and show what they are accomplishing for the former defenisve coordinator for the Buckeyes.
Mike M.
Do it all: I want to see the Buckeyes do whatever they want to do, and do it cleanly. Every game so far, we have had something (usually small) that needs cleaned up. Play calling, kick coverage, false starts, play clock management, etc. I want to see a clean game, where these little things don’t show up. If they’re not cleaned up against Rutgers, they can and will bite the Buckeyes later in B1G play against real competition.
