We’re going to have to blitz more imo.More pressure without blitzing would be great.

They won a very tough and vitally important game the whole way across the country because of that package. They won all the other games using that package to set up the play that won the USC game. The facts are not in your corner. In addition, the game experience provided to Pribula allowed him to step in when he was desperately needed and seamlessly engineer a win. This time halfway across the country and in a very hostile setting. Nice cherry on top and complete vindication for the coaching staff.Because that package worked once doesn't mean it didn't take snaps from the starter.
That package was a net loser.
To explain, the attorney is asking for a continuance on the case and knows the hard ass judge won’t grant one. But said attorney had learned prior that the judge is a Michigan fan. So the attorney references Lloyd Car getting 2 seconds added back to the clock agains Penn State in 2005 which allows Chad Henne to throw the winning TD to Mario Manningham. 😑
Point being, all she needs is a little time added for the continuance. The judge smiles and grants it.
Except that they beat USC with that package that they set up beautifully for half a season.
USC game amnesia?I completely agree. My recollection is that the package hasn’t been all that successful in gaining that many yards when compared to other plays they could / did use. You’re literally playing with one less offensive player (Allar) out of the game to participate since he seems to just move to the sidelines during the plays.
Except that they beat USC with that package that they set up beautifully for half a season.Agreed. Having Allar as a WR is a wasted position.
Can you toss it back to him and have him throw? Sure.
But it's easier to just hike him the ball directly without Beau on the field.
Well nothing to be ashamed of but you were proven wrong.Right here, Rip. I simply thought it disrupted the offense.
He didn’t just throw a pass. They won the USC game with that play which was set up by what they did previously with that package all season.I always liked the package, just don't like Allar on the field at the sams time as he is not a running or catching threat....he did throw to Warren against USC however.
Thank God he only left his participle dangling, unlike the Ferraris.Tom will be listed in the PSU directory next summer!?!?!? Next level recruiting right there!
More pressure without blitzing would be great.Their Starting LT is out for the season and the backup LT just got injured vs Nebraska. They may have to shuffle around their OL. We can’t give this OSU passing game too much time to throw.
From what I've seen, their whole OL is a weak link. They suckWe need to attack the weak links on their O Line. Leverage Durant's quickness. Vilbert and Vanover are solid DEs for us and fill in well for DDS. Ford is really coming on at DT and a great run stuffer. He just clogs up space but is athletic. If we can get pressure on Howard that could be our magic sauce to get a W. Maybe a turnover.
OSU will attack our LBs and Winston replacement.
Allar was terrific vs Wisconsin before the injury.This is an important point. Ohio State D will spend quite a bit of time looking at Pribula's tendencies and scheming ways to fool him into interceptions. Very different from Wisconsin's situation. If he plays Saturday those throws over the middle into tiny windows become very dangerous against the kind of athletes Ohio State has in the secondary. It's hard to calculate safeties and linebackers who run faster, jump higher and have great eye-hand coordination.
I did really like how Pribula played once he got into the flow of the game. Those last two drives were both superb -- and yes the Wisconsin D was tired, so that was a factor. But Beau was making decisions very quickly. He has a very quick release and that makes up a bit for the lack of a cannon arm. He's quick as a runner -- he gets to speed very fast. It was really impressive. Pretty amazing to see Allar play his best football one week, and then the following week we see Pribula play his best football. Nice turn of events.
As our amigos south of the border would say:Nothing burger.
I sincerely hope this is satire because you are usually on the mark. Also, I enjoy most of Obliviax’s posts but this one is out to lunch. It did appear the person Drew was interacting with was on the field. During a game the field belongs to the players. He is certainly entitled to unload on someone acting inappropriately among the players during a game. And I’m quite sure his teammates are fully behind him. Having said that, as of yet no one knows exactly what this was all about so the speculation is as meaningless as the action itself.Yeah that’s a huge problem. Other fans will see this and start harassing the hell out of him. He needs to grow up quickly or this could get really ugly.
Which is precisely how he or any other head coach should roll.Absolutely this is how he rolls.
Tom will be listed in the PSU directory next summer!?!?!? Next level recruiting right there!I am thinking we will know when either Tom tweets his displeasure or someone notices his is listed in the PSU directory next summer.
