Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Herbstreit just said something that I think is actually important:

Ohio State had one game all year where they scored more than 7 points in the first quarter: Western Michigan. And they still won the majority of their games. But now they’re basically unbeatable, seemingly.

What’s more likely, they changed their scheme, got new players, or the coach changed his attitude? Whatever it is, our team needs to have that attitude. We’ve become really resilient over the years JH has been here. I think it’s because we are well coached and have talent and depth now. But we need to get back to having that sense of urgency and desire to go for the kill shot any way we want it. Don’t get soft or complacent. BE AGGRESSIVE. That’s JHs m-o. I hope we get back to that on offense this coming season. If we do, it’s another playoff appearance, and maybe more.
Didn’t watch much Osu before so can’t say for sure. But it seems to me the opening script it very good and they come out very aggressive. So probably a mix of attitude and scheme tweak

They changed their scheme and tendencies. I think Chip Kelly was given free reign after the Michigan loss. With all those weapons they should’ve always been a pass first and misdirection team.

I think Texas can get Will Howard to throw some interceptions. Don’t give him the deep shot or one v one outside. Osu doesn’t want to go up the middle. They look human when they do that. Take a way the perimeter run game. Make them throw into coverage across the middle. If you can take away their easy stuff (runs outside) and big plays and get them running inside and throwing 10-15 yards over the middle you can start disguising coverages and tempt him into passes he shouldn’t make, like that one to the tight end that was completed and I still don’t know how. Give yours ends and safeties (best players) chances to make a play. The interior dline can handle itself.
 
In addition to making the osu offense play simpler, I think if youre Texas you want this final game score not to exceed 24 points on either side. Keep it low scoring like uga did to you in the seccg and hope you make the least mistakes of the two sides.
