Keeping Hackenberg Alive - A PeeSU Take

[WANG]

I like to peruse opposing team blogs/message boards to see how they are feeling about their impending game with OSU.

I was reading Black Shoe Diaries, a pretty solid PeeSU blog, this morning, and I got to a reader question/writer answer section.

The reader postulated how PeeSU keeps Hackenberg alive against the OSU DL. The answer was really, really funny:


"There are many, many ways to keep Hack alive, Bill. The most straight-forward method would be to bench him. If he's not on the field, then they can't legally sack him into oblivion. Another angle - one that John Donovan tried in games 2 thru 5 this year - is to call a bunch of runs. Run the dive from the "beef" personnel package, and then run it again, and again, until you punt the ball away on 4th down. No, you're not scoring any points. But if Hack isn't throwing, they can't sack him, and thus, he's still alive."

He goes on to say that Hack if PeeSU is going to win the game, then Hack will get sacked, plain and simple.

Regardless, that is a pretty funny response.

Yeah, I think the DL has a field day.

My concern is that they are going to use that aggression against them and run a lot of draws.

quick passes and draws. I expect that 90% of the game.
