Hello SportyFans.
I may be giving out the ol' "nl" on future Ohio State games.
I think if a nutshell offering were to be made it would be the statement C-Wells made after the game yesterday...as part of a very frustrated offense.
He simply said...we need to pass more.This isn't working.
Which is true.
The defense is a little better than average......maybe it's in the B to B- area.
The offense is bad...as I previously mentioned
Better when the change was made to FRESHMAN qb Pryor.FRESHMAN qb Pryor who performed like a senior in the last drive at Wisconsin for the game winning td.
Everyone plays Ohio State with stopping the run in the forefront of their minds. They did the same thing with Boeckman. They did it with him because of his lack of passing skills. They do it with Pryor because he's a FRESHMEN.....who won the Wisconsin game on a long drive leaving only a minute 8 or so on the clock....and by PASSING.
It's not like he can't throw because he can.The o-line isn't sa hot and has recently replaced a senior with a freshman on that same line
But they are worse when Ohio runs predictable plays time after time. 14 passes yesterday---that was it.10 were completed,but they have to throw more and more down field because this isn't going to get it.There is nothing wrong with Pryor--Ohio's main problem is predictability. The o-line would be better and get more confidence if we got away from Bo's Ark fb.With the defense...that would be good enough to win out.
And please...the Maurice Wells up the middle play should be burned.
Ohio State does not run a spread, Pryor is not the problem,but the solution to a bad qb problem.
Finally...for you junior point shavers out there......NEVER use the Team A lost to Team B....and the very next week lost in a much larger way to Team C;therefor Team C will beat team B should they meet---theory.
Only boneheads think like that.
