Overcoming adversity

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

No. It isn't.

Don’t you know? If the other team completes any passes on you, your secondary is terrible.

Our offensive woes will catch up to us again soon enough. Can’t say enough about our defense though aside from the last FL touchdown. They’ve played their guts out every game. Offense needs to get its **** together because we’re going to have to score to keep momentum and give the defense a rest.

Absolutely. We have top quality talent in our offense. So I place the blame of the problems in offense squarely on the coaching. They need to fire Joey Halzle. They need to put a few trick plays in the book. How about a fake punt at mid field on a 4th and 4? Why not break up the tempo by mixing quick snaps with longer snaps and that include lots of backfield motion to confuse the defense. And stop calling the run up the middle on 3rd and long. It's stupid, and it usually brings on a punt. And remember all the false start penalties against Arkansas? That's fixed by drilling in practice. Our defense is Top 5 quality. I Sadly, wouldn't even rate our offense in the Top 20.

When the other team needs a TD and you don't play deep protection your going to loose some games. Martinez needs to go.

This defense is the real deal. The offense…is a work in progress. Rolling Nico out is the way.

Our offense has great talent. Our offensive coaching sucks.

At the skill positions yes but the OL lacks quality depth and LT and RT struggle. They’re in a tough spot. If they attack the edges and roll Nico out more I think we’ll be OK

I agree with you. We have to stress the defense more with some Qb rushing. Also wonder if calling a few more runs outside the tackles might be beneficial.
