Did anyone else feel as if the announcers wanted the Bucks to drop this one?
Yeah, Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson usually tend to go out of their way to be complimentary to OSU, but they also know controversy helps ratings.

In your journalistic adventures, you do an excellent job in reporting the who, what, where, when, and why in your game reports.
Thanks.

OSU corners were bad!
I don't understand why the Bucks will not use a two back set with a FB. This FB would be huge on kickout blocks that might open some lanes. Run game is way too predictable.

Oh for the days of Matt Snell, Jim Otis, Pete Johnson, and Champ Henson. Mitch Rossi would fill that role well, but the bottom line is Ryan Day's offensive philosophy revolves around the pass. It is not going to change given that Day is 42-4, winning over 90% of his games.

The problem with the OSU run game, IMO, is caused by a couple of different factors:

1.) Too many bubble screens/passes with 5 yards of the Line of Scrimmage. The defense can play more in the box and still keep everything in front of them.

2.) Mayan Williams should be the starter and get the bulk of the carries. Henderson tip toes around in the backfield waiting for a hole to appear. Williams makes a hole when there isnt one there. Henderson tries to jump cut in the backfield and goes down on first contact. Williams gets through the line of scrimmage and then jump cuts when he hits the second level. No doubt Henderson has more break away speed, but things have to happen perfectly at the line of scrimmage in order for him to get a full head of steam. Williams has a much better burst.

3.) Take more shots down field in the passing game. When they do, good things happen, especially when they target Harrison Jr. Instead they want to rely on the bubble screens, which is fine if our WR's can over power the defensive CBs/Safeties/LBs that are out in coverage. PSU does have a really good defense at the second level and they continually blew up those bubble screens.

Omega is right- Day is a pass first play caller. Which is fine, the pass will open up the run, but if a team knows that short passes are coming, they can still play everything within 5 yards of the LOS. That can make life tough on the running game because the numbers of blockers and defenders favors the defense.

A win is a win. Move on to the next one and hopefully Mayan Williams is healthy this weekend.

From the same dude that also says "You OSU fans never find fault and look through your rose colored glasses".

Make up your mind man. Cant talk out of both sides of your mouth.

On a side note, your team looks good this year. Not sure how they will handle a strong passing attack because they have not played one yet, but they look good defensively against the run.
