Post YSU game thoughts

[osujustice]

Strengths:
Special teams
Receiving core as a whole
Running backs
QB - I was impressed with Boeckman's first start. Seemed like he was a smooth operator.
Defense looked pretty good. I would like to see more aggressiveness out of everyone especially the D-line and linebackers.


Weaknesses:
O-line How could they not push a YSU D-line around all day? This does not bode well for the future.
Running game play calls
Defensive unit schemes
Rushing the QB
Penalties - always bad

I saw quite a few Boeckman passes that looked like they could have been picked off if we were playing against a different defense. But I'm not sure how much of that is his passing, and how much is receivers not running the right routes.

He's also got to find more targets than Robiskie. If he's the only guy open, then fine. But I doubt that against YSU. If our passing game becomes too predictable, then we don't have a passing game.

Perhaps I should be more lenient on the guy since it's his first start, it's the first game of the season, and we did win by 32 pts. But if we play like we are now, even Washington will give us trouble. And with rotating in 2 other QBs, I'm not sure how many snaps he'll have to try with against Akron.

I don't think your sword too sharp...after all this was YSU.



I will make a prediction and say Saine and Henton will be starting by the 4th game or so.,,the rest is a worry.

I thought Boeckman was great. He put the ball where the receivers could get it, not the defenders. I think any problems were because of the receivers running poor routes or dropping balls.

The running game was the biggest concern.

My only concern with Boeckman is that he takes too long to make a decision at times. (Which is by no means a surprise in your first start.) My only other nitpick is that he needs to move the ball around some more.

The O-Line still looks shell shocked from the Florida game. If they don't improve drastically, losing to U-W is a real possibility.

Regarding the defense, I was pleased to see the DBs being aggressive in coverage. I was hoping to see the D-Line be more disruptive.
