No. Think they had about 350 total yards, 120 to their second string RB. Fact still remains, we played three s#!t offenses and did our job, now do it against someone with a pulse. Youre right, but I'm a believer. Thanks for the info on last years game. I though score wise we did a nice job on points. 1 Quote Link to comment

brophog Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I didn't see much of a jump between games 1/2 and 3, but a massive jump between 3 and 4. So certainly from beginning to now, it's been pretty big. Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't be surprised if Rutgers and Illinois gain under 200 yards combined against OSU. They are bad offenses. Quote Link to comment

I'm hopeful it's confidence builders as we continue to develops. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The defense has played well the last three weeks. They have played the #84, #81 and #112 offenses in terms of completion percentage. They have played the #90, #117 and #102 offenses in terms of yards per game. They have played the #87, #81 and #107 scoring offenses. Based on our less-than-stellar cornerback play and tackling in general, I'm not sure it will hold up. But they've done about all they could do for the last three games. 4 Quote Link to comment

Think of all the crappy teams we have played in 16 years. tonight was the fewest points given up on the road in over 20 years. Like back to the 90s man. Again think of all of the crappy teams that we have played. Yes the offenses were were not good, and there is a lot to work on, but they just did some things that haven’t been done in a generation. 3 Quote Link to comment

Statistically they've probably done OK against bad opponents but when you look at them play you just know things aren't going to go well the rest of the way. I'm not seeing much improvement in the cornerbacks. Quote Link to comment
