Barely beat inferior out of conference opponent - check Dominate out of conference opponent and everyone chugs koolaid - check Blowout loss in prime time - check Barely beat inferior in conference opponent - check Head scratching loss to decent, but not great in conference opponent - check I feel like this team could come out of the bye week with a new sense of pride and win 4 of the next 5. I also feel like this team could come out of the bye week and have not fixed anything and instead barely scrap by to bowl eligibility. Seems like Bo years felt like that more often than not too. What is interesting is they will get a top 10 (probably 1 loss) or top 3 (no loss) Wisconsin team at home. If they win that (I don't think they will), the entire season changes. Quote Link to comment

I almost think it is one of those games where you just load the box and man up on the outside and just bring it...and on offense...lots of deep balls hoping for a big play or a call. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree it's an uphill climb though. Quote Link to comment

I think every team enjoys punishing Nebraska. Same as when Texas loses or Notre Dame. The problem with us is those teams can talk and back it up more instances than not. Our teams talk and then cower away year in and year out like a puppy during a thunderstorm. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Oh yeah, I agree and that game could get ugly, fast (but also sort of in a slow way) with a lot of 8-10 yard runs...ALL GAME LONG. Quote Link to comment

Well by the end they wont be 8-10.. They will likely be 15-20. or 60. 1 Quote Link to comment

If I were Chryst, I'd come out in the hippo package and run it down Neb's throat until they stop it (which isn't likely). They might never have to pass Quote Link to comment

Not sure if it's scheme or the players, but in the end it doesn't matter - gotta have both, and I don't know that we have either. Quote Link to comment

And this isn't an excuse but just an observation - our teams for years have slipped all over the field in wintry conditions, and in Minneapolis was the worst I've ever seen. Yet minny didn't look like they slipped much at all... Do Adidas cleats suck that bad?... Quote Link to comment

I could make a good argument by posting clips and analyzing plays that supports the claim that Ohio State is actually running a spread offense that is similar to what quite a few PAC 12 teams do under Ryan Day. The difference is that their offensive line recruiting, size, development, and preparation is as good as any in the country and this then allows them to run power whenever they feel like it with a 'feature back' type of running back. Their all star offensive line allows them to do this. I'm a broken record with this, but if guys like Benhart, Banks, & Corcoran stay on/get to campus and stick with this program we'll be a different football team in 2-3 years. I don't mind waiting for that time to come. I'm excited about those players. But I'm not falling for spring ball/fall camp hype next year, and also in my opinion Chinander has a ton to prove next year. 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I feel like some of you don't really watch games. Iowa runs an old school offense and they suck Wisconsin runs it and they are good No other team in the conference really runs that old school offense anymore. I would guess that all the teams (with the exception of two) are in the shotgun over 65% of the time. 3 Quote Link to comment
