Full game thoughts
- It was a good adjustment going to the screen game with all the pressure PSU was bringing. So credit the staff. Not sure why they went way from it after they went up 14-13, but they pulled it out when needed.
- Alarming thing was when Haskins had time, he could get nothing downfield. This has been the issue ever since 2014. If OSU is going to win the CFP, they are going to face a defense that can get pressure without blitzing so much. Need to find a way for WRs to get open vs good defenses.
- The 4th and 1 was crap, but I don't know what you call there. Haskins was shaky at that point and they were keying on Dobbins. Short yardage is something they need to work on.
- I didn't mind the KJ Hill wildcat call, because we had the defense on their heels. But after that we went away from the screen game until it was almost too late.
- Give the defense props for keeping the game in hand for the first half.
- That said, WHY DO WE PLAY SO MUCH MAN?!?!? And why do so when Mcsorely was taking off every other play with no spy? The defense was great, but overaggressive playcalling is killing us.
- Drue Chrisman was great in the first half when we needed him. Unsung hero.
- As great as Juwan Johnson's catch was early, Ben Victor's TD was just amazing. Credit Parris Campbell and Rashon Berry with some great downfield blocks. But that was just an amazing play. I know Victor's been inconsistent, but I think he's the most talented wr of the upperclass wrs
