Dutch's Random Ohio State Droppings
-
Well the game we all knew was going to be a tough one indeed was, with Ohio State losing a heartbreaker 32-31.
In the day of 12 team playoffs, while a rough loss, its not a season-ender.
But Ohio State has work to do on defense. That was disappointing.
Some really bad concentration lapses yesterday with situational football and time management in particular. #44 needs to play football with his eyes - that TD by Dillon Gabriel was exactly what I'm talking about. When you clamp down with securing YOUR edge as priority #1 - you better see the damn football (and who has it) or you're giving your opponent their easiest TD of the day. Did Oregon score an easier TD than that?
It's this simple. If you want to be champions - leave the excuses and explanations to your opponent.
If there is any good news in this? There's the sour taste in their mouth that's gonna fuel this team the rest of the way...

JTT was playing 'hero ball', because the defense was getting gashed. He didn't trust that his teammates would do their job if he just did his, so he tried to be the hero and save the day himself. They had the perfect call for it.

The announcers said, on that play, that #44’s assignment is the QB. The TE released so Styles had to cover him. That makes #44 the edge man. He has the QB. Bad play by him for sure

Thanks Brownies! Anytime a team crashes their end like the Buckeyes did with #44 his assignment is to be at the depth of the QB on his clampdown. In this case, it was deep into the 2nd half. And what happens when guys start sucking gas after the opponent starts racking up first downs? There goes their concentration and one of the most underrated assets in football (their freakin eyes). In this case, 44 bit on the play-action fake hook-line and sinker to the RB going to the backside. Consequently 44 cleared out the only guy in the way of a TD on his side of the formation (himself). I'm gonna guess, this tendency/trend was found on film and Oregon exploited it at the right time they felt it would work.

Dutch, a good coach like Dan Lanning had that very play in the game plan right down to the tendency/trend. It worked like Judo is supposed to against the attacker. JTT cleared himself out. The sad thing is, if he would kept his eyes on the football - he would have tackled Dillon right there or caused a fumble. Coach Lanning rolled the dice on a trend they've seen on film counting on him not to be looking at the football.
Little things like this end up being the difference between winning and losing a game of that magnitude.

The Bucks lost by one point to the #3 team in their house, it’s not like they lost to Appalachia State.
I believe they will still be in the playoff hunt, unlike TTUN.

Ohio State has a new athletic director who is not attached to Ryan Day in any way.
Ryan Day IMO is John Cooper 2.0.
For Ohio State to get where Alabama was, they can't do it being saddled with Ryan Day.

That's really good news in bold up top Dutch! Nebraska, a good team (not great), was way too close to beating these guys in the Buckeyes next game (+ bye week for additional prep) after the loss to Oregon. That wasn't the response we were hoping for. 1 more game like that could equate to another loss.
The Line Of Scrimmage separates the Doe's from the Bucks; and this feels like an area drifting closer to the pack than remaining elite. Think of all the Studs this program has had at OT: Orlando Pace, Korey Stringer, Jim Lachey, Taylor Decker and further back to the 70s John Hicks and black and white TV days Jim Parker. There's also been a lot of great Centers and Guards. Anyone my age following the Buckeyes and the Browns from the very early 70s on grew up with powerful 1st impressions rooting for very talented beneficiaries of great Oline play from the following: Leroy Kelly, Greg Pruitt, Archie Griffin, and TD Machine Pete Johnson... I didn't have this feeling last week if I'm being honest. I get it when they have a convenient opponent now which is my overall concern. I'm not sure if Ryan Day understands the winning ingredients that the 2 National Championship Head Coaches here in the new millennium did.
Am I underrating the LOS in Columbus today? Hopefully because I have an insatiable appetite for watching the Buckeyes dominate the trenches. Hold on a second, I think Zeke Elliott is scoring another TD on Alabama...

I watched the game, and I saw the DB do this and I’m surprised nobody on the broadcast team mentioned it.

After waxing Indiana’s ass today, I can’t wait to see Meatchicken on the field next week.
I certainly hope Day runs up the score, and doesn’t pull the starters.

After today I just have 1 question for poor Indiana. Hoosier daddy?

Bama lost…again.
So that means they’re going to move up in the rankings.

And watching Georgia go 8 sessions deep into OT with Georgia Tech's injury depleted secondary yesterday to escape with a win will overrate them way up the rankings as well. After a while, each new session of OT was just 2 point conversion attempt attempts. If you didn't watch, Kirby Smart called time-out every single time Ga Tech lined up in formation. Every single Time it was GA Tech's turn. They gotta change that when they get as far as the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th OT. Again, I say that when the length of each session in just a 2 point attempt for each team.
I am NOT a Georgia Bulldog fan at all. IMO, Kirby Smart coming over there from Alabama's staff gives them that same stench of what are they really getting away with. I'd be willing to bet they're getting away with a lot of the same things Michigan is finally getting busted with; and probably much more-so.

I kind of feel different about that.
I think NIL has evened the playing field. Now the non-southern schools can legally do what the southern schools did for generations by paying their players.
All the sudden the SEC looks mortal.
