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 become very dangerous against the kind of athletes Ohio State has in the seconday.
If Allar can play then obviously good for us. He won't be 100% of course so this is I think what to expect:
-Pribula plays more snaps/series and we pepper the game plan for Pribula packages. I trust AK will be very creative here.
-Allar will not run much meaning the "no one is open and I scramble up the middle for 8-12 yards" play we are used to seeing a few times a game probably is not there. So that is a negative, how much? Not horrible but could be key vs OSU where we need everything to go our way.
-Drew needs to be careful with his accuracy given this injury messes with his mechanics. I just hope he doesn't become real gun shy and non aggressive. Need to be smart to protect him but can't go into a shell otherwise why have him out there.
Knowles and Day will prepare for all scenarios. They will be ready for a heavy Pribula game or more where he plays maybe a third of the snaps. They will probably pressure Allar more given the limited mobility. Warren will be an even more important part of our offense to provide a reliable option for Drew when the pocket starts collapsing.
Other random thoughts/questions:
-Really would like Donkah back at tackle but not sure what his injury is.
-Is Singleton hurt or what is going on there? Not gaining a lof of yards. He seems to move okay but hard to tell maybe he has lost a step of acceleration. The TD grab vs Wisky was phenomenal. Using him as a pass catcher could be key but OSU will prepare for it so we need to catch them off guard.
-Need to figure out how to fully take advantage of the weak links on OSU's offensive line now with their injuries. Getting some pressure on Howard is important. Having DDS would obviously be great but Vilbert and Vanover are solid. Durant on stunts up the middle using his quickness could be huge for us especially attacking their third string guy.
-OSU first team safety out the first half from targeting. An opening for us, need to seize that opportunity.
