DrunkOffPunch Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I mean, we were down by 35 points when we got the ball in the second half. If we wanted any chance of getting back into the game we had to score and score fast so passing makes sense. Throw in the fact you lose Tommy your running game takes a big step back. We didn't have the speed to get to the edge and we didn't have the horses up front to open lanes for the RBs. You can either pack it up and try to bleed some clock by running more to stop the bleeding, or pass to try to get back into it knowing if you don't move the ball you're sending out a tired defense that's getting clobbered. It's a lose-lose situation and those stats didn't matter as the game was far out of reach by that point. Quote Link to comment

Stanton put up his numbers against 2 FCS teams a 3-6 UCLA team and a 5-5 CMU team. So I doubt that. Quote Link to comment

Swiv3D Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I learned that of the 17 former/current walkons that started in the B1G this week, 4 were on our own o/d-lines Quote Link to comment
huskersrulerhewprld Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I thought the most poignant tribute to the memory of Sam Foltz was Ohio State keeping their punter off the field for the entire game....well done. 2 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 yikes Langs money play is the deep jump ball to shitsville. Population zero.......IIRC, We were 9-33 last night........with 2 INT's......I understand the need to pass as we were curb stomped, but couldn't he disl something else up. Damn man, even a trick play or two..... 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't think we've seen that since Solich. Quote Link to comment

Damn man, even a trick play or two..... Were you thinking trick plays before or after Tommy Armstrong got hurt? I wouldn't mind seeing ol Ryker Fyfe on the old Black Flash 41 Reverse. Also, I think we were watching the same game were Tommy couldn't even complete a 5 yard slant without it getting tipped. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 That our gameplan was to run inside with Newby (our fastest RB), tosses (finally!) to the outside with our slowest RB, and the passing gameplan was to run verts and throw 50/50 balls. This is what I don't get. As I've said, I don't necessarily mind the offense itself. But how Langs goes about using it..... 2 Quote Link to comment
