What did we learn? OSU edition.

I'm very concerned about the DB's. That kind of soft coverage allowed Ohio State to pick Nebraska apart. Roll left. Wide open receiver. Roll right. Wide open receiver. Drop back. Wide open receiver. Mertz threw 17 straight completions last night and Nebraska plays him next week with 2 less DB's for at least part of it. So that should be fun.  

 
Targeting is ruining the game. Kicking kids out of a game for a borderline call is stupid and it is changing the outcome of some games as well as the following game.

Nebraska was a lot more physical this year. They need to be able to throw the ball down the field.

If Ohio State can't find a RB that can run the ball, they aren't going to win a NC. The freshman WRs are going to be very good.

I completely agree. The fact that NFL doesn't even have targeting tells us plenty. For the NFL it's just a 15-yard personal foul with no ejection.

Heck, have these Big 10 rule makers watch some NHL players get brutally yet legally crosschecked into the boards game after game, to point out how worthless the Big 10 targeting rules are.
