Though the discussion is over, I am amused that there is apparently nothing to be afraid for in the Buckeyes’ future when they go from being up 20 – 7 at the half, followed by extending their to 29 – 14 and nearly blew it.

I suppose it’s okay for the Buckeyes to just give up two TDs to a team that they were dominating on D for most of the game? That there’s nothing to worry about when they make the wrong call on D and are staring down OT when they were up 15 early in the fourth?

But hey, if you want to keep those rosy glasses on, I won’t stop you.

Chris,

Even though it’s not this coming weekend, I am excited to see how Monte Kiffin/Ed Ogeron schemes to defend Florida/Meyer/Tebow/Spread next Saturday, Sept 19th @ 3:30pm when Tenn visits Gainesville. Monte is a GREAT defensive mind and was instrumental in developing his brand of the 4-3 under Bob Devaney and Tom Osbourne @ Nebraska, way back when. Along with his Knowledge of the “Under/Over”, Zone Dogs(4 Man Rush), Zone Blitz(5 Man Rush), Blitz(6 Man Rush), amd multiple Coverage schemes, can’t wait to see how Tenn D attacks the Florida Spread. Now, not sure if Tenn has the Def personnel to get it done, but they gotta have some speed and quicks, and Monte loves that. This is the early season scheme game excited to tape…

Loved that Ravens Zone Blitz from what appeared to be 3-4 Pers.

GA game was a trap from the outset. Their stars of last season, QB, RB, and top WR are all being replaced. The Qb fumbled before he was hit and his OL were shaking their heads like they’ve seen it before, in practice.

Could be a long year for them. They still had to chance to tie it in the second half, AFTER having a TD called back and some other opportune penalties hurt them.

Notre Dame lacks separation speed. Their biggest plays required defenders to fall down. The odds of that happening on a routine basis are pretty low.

Their HC was “concerned” with Nevada?

Sounds like he is stealing lines from a Knute Rockne speech with that one….

Slight nit to pick: it’s Robert Griffin, not Griffith

Navy had six new offensive starters after going 8-5 in 2008 with losses to Ball State and Duke. It isn’t enough to find excuses for each of their scoring plays. OSU apologists have to explain a 15 play, 99 yard drive, 8-12 on 3d down, and all the other plays which allowed Navy to put up as much offense as OSU did.

I disagree with Chris in that I think the fact that OSU was only able to put up 363 yards on the Navy defense is a bigger sign of problems next week vs. USC.

“the mistakes OSU had were quite irrelevant when comparing them to the rest of Ohio State’s season.”

Unless they play GT in a bowl.

“How often will Ohio State play Cover 0 against USC?”

With their supply of RBs, maybe USC will implement the Triple Option this week.
