IF we play this well the rest of the year we'll be bowling. Still a shot at 8 wins IF we play like this. We were a couple of plays from beating #4 at home. That's a building block. Not a victory. A building block. There's no way in hell after watching this team through the first 7 games that I thought this game today would come down to us with a chance to win on our last possession. No way.

We've seen that building block a million times. Win.

The official that spotted that 2nd and short needs to be fired.

Right. But doesn’t he communicate with his staff upstairs?

There's not much time. It would have taken somebody upstairs to be damned sure and even then I'm not sure he can challenge inside of 2 minutes. He also might have been relying on the video ref to buzz down. Face it. We weren't going to get any calls from the review booth even if we had called down. Look at that play at the half yard line where they spotted it at the 2. THAT's close enough that the video booth should have buzzed down. They had the word. OSU has to win this game.

Screen on 1st and forever

During game prep defensive players learn opponent's formations and keys to learn how to defend what play is being run. This is mainly done through film study. During game play they identify formation, then initial movements by their opposing player(s) they are assigned to. They give percentages of which play is being run out of certain formations & guess once initial movements occur. This is done with in-game discussion, iPad study & halftime adjustments. It is the offensive coordinator's job to disguise and lower the defense's ability to guess at a high rate. Our O.C. is terrible at disguises & adjustments, hence why these plays are not successful over & over.

Thanks for the explanation. I know we don't disguise anything on offense so not surprised OSU was able to pick up on the tendency. I just don't know what Satt is seeing on first and forever with an OSU team unlikely to blitz. It seems like the wrong play to call there. I always thought you'd call the screen when you see they are about to bring the house.

Our receivers were getting mugged all day.

That last INT I think was caused by the WR's apprehension from the previous big hit across the middle. Dylan missed two wide open receivers that would have been for 6, Lloyd was held on a slant where it looked like he had a wide open middle of the field to the goal line. Lots of opportunities missed
