I agree re relative lack of explosiveness out of the run game, but between the weather and Smith and Tate coming off injuries that’s about as neutered as the pass game will be. Get to play in domes/good weather going forward.

3x1 bust

OSU went 13P there as a tendency breaker. Got C3

Ironically osu was in a 4 down front

I’m similarly expecting UM to get in 12, then spread out, see how OSU responds. Lots of reliefs early.

Also if you get UM in a series where they’re playing a bunch of depth like they have all year would again go tempo and not sub.

lol great minds. Was gonna say, if UM is in nickel then you run you gap & pin and pull schemes and see if they can fit.

As we discussed, if I’m OSU I get in 12, then shift/spread out. See a) how UM responds personnel wise; and b) how UM matches personnel. Then if I get UM in base 3-4 I go tempo and don’t substitute.

Interesting wrinkle this year is OSU has tended to have a true outside monster and then a guy they lined up in the slot.

This year it’s 2 true outside guys. So if we play C2 to Smith to the field, it’ll be Quarters away to Tate.

Will Sayin be able to process that and get the ball to the 1v1?

Was gonna say, you know who else loved split Q IZ in short yardage!?

Eh. Def maj MoFC but uses C2, C4, C6. Lots of variation w/in those. But hasn’t had/wanted to use much of it. He def likes to use multiple fronts. Likes bringing out the different coverages/disguise on pass downs.

If forced to pick, 3 LBer, but lots of variance.

Yes. It’s not an automatic response, but OSU will play 3 LBers. Will run Penny but have 2 off-ball LBers. Have also seen 6-1, true odd, over, under.

UM likes to run windback, right? Gets you to the same place as Duo.

0, 4i, 5 to the backside, 7 frontside.

To me, this is 2 man under. Where do you think Sayin should have gone with the ball?

I just don’t know how you get zone doubles against a gapped out, single high penny front. I haven’t seen any offense get doubles against them with zone runs this year.
