It's funny how the Huskers ran for 178 and passed for 320 against that defense, with fewer weapons than Ohio State has. Beck is the obvious and easy choice to beat on, but that entire team was coasting on last year's achievements.
And I think, Meyer, more than most coaches, gets a little arrogant in his game plan and play-calling. They all do, how about 30 + passes on a windy day in Champaign Illinois, or 50+ against Purdue? But, for example, Ohio State led Alabama by 7 with 2:00 last year in the Sugar Bowl and Alabama was down to one time-out. Everyone knew Ohio State needed to just run three plays, make them burn the timeout and probably run the clock down under 30 seconds before punting, if necessary. Meyer called for, and admitted it was his call, a play-action deep ball to Devin Smith. It didn't work, it saved a timeout, and Bama got the ball back with about a minute to go instead of 20-25 seconds.
