osu 63, Michigan 39

[JRB]

I was worried that Michigan's defense had been made to look better than it really was, but I didn't think Ohio State would just completely destroy them like this...again.

out of bounds?

[Detroit Dan]

pylon is out of bounds

[BadWolf]

Ok...FG time.

[Detroit Dan]

YES. WE HELD EM

[BadWolf]

Down by 5 is a lot better than I thought it would be. Dan Brown...do something.

[Detroit Dan]

They had 1st down on 3 and we forced them to kick FG.

[JRB]

24-19, bad guys at the half. That drive was discouraging, but all things considered, this is looking much better than it was 20 minutes ago.

D needs to get their crap together.

M is not the best defense in college football.
Clemson is.

[WM Wolverine]

Lucky we are even in this game. Very obvious the offense needs to air it out.

[Detroit Dan]

M will have to use that desperate offense in 2nd half.

[klondike]

Nothing much has changed watching this game. The talent level is better for the Buckeyes. We cant sneak up on them like Purdue or Maryland.

Harbaugh plays too vanilla . Runs on first and second down set up third and long. This is what Jim Bob Cooter is doing with the lions setting up third and long. You need to be unpredictable to win. This is what OSU is doing

[Jeff Buchanan]

It's just Ryan Day optimizing what osu's offense with haskins at QB does best. Mentioned over and over again pre-game was Don Brown's conundrum with blitzing the LBs v. defending the slants, drags and screens. That's been the bread and butter of osu's offense. It managed to beat any pressure that did come.

The rest is getting Don Brown schooled on his schemes covering the deep ball. Day has consistently got Watson isolated in single coverage out of 4 and 5 wide sets on deep shots made easy by Watson and just about everyone else in coverage getting beat.

Pressure? Very little of it. I've heard Gary's name on a tackle, once.....ONCE. What's happened is that as it was also noted, osu would double the DE's and ignore M's DTs because they are just guys. The LB blitzing has been limited due to the need to cover the short passing game.

What does Brown need to do? Limit man, increase zone, get pressure on haskins whatever it takes.

Notable, neither team is running the ball although M has tried to do that, control the tempo and had it going for a while. Gentry dropping a perfect throw for a TD followed by a quick osu score to go up 21-6. put an end to that. On M's 2 minute offense, they moved the ball and scored.
