This quote sounds like a hint that a big shakeup is about to happen:
"There will be a time where, we didn't score in the first quarter five times. Don't worry, that will be flipped over upside-down, inside out," Meyer said. "Not now, as our focus is on this. And it's not as simple as one thing or two things, or we'd fix it"

Go back and watch 2014 film and think what would Herman do? Fixed!

No kidding, the athletes on this team compared to others in the bigten is downright embarrassing...and yet this year they just don't want to utilize them. It's like using Lebron as your 6th man.

Could it be that we have too many players that are alike? We only have 1 legit WR and that is Michael Thomas. Last year we had Devin Smith also. And we had Evan Spencer, who did a great job blocking to let the playmakers get free.


This year we have playing Wr after Michael Thomas
Braxton Miller
Curtis Samuel
Jalin Marshall
Dontre Wilson


None of these guys are true WR. They're all playmakers who were put at WR to get on the field. And with that, the passing attack has taken a huge drop off from last year. Those injuries early in the year, to WR that were recruited as WR, could be catching up to Ohio State. The guys above are great playmakers but its becoming difficult to get them open in space. Ohio State really needs one more legit WR to go with MIchael Thomas this year and they just don't have it.

I'm not buying it, Miller and Marshall are probably two of the fastest guys in the big ten....he rushed 25 times in 2014 and ONCE this year.

His receptions are relatively flat compared to last year...but not utilizing him on that sweep play is inexcusable, avg'd 5.8 a carry last year.

Miller had 3 touches last game, how is that even remotely possible?

How many times this year have they tried the long ball, hell, every time i see them try the guy is wide open and are over thrown. You stretch the field it keeps 8 out of the box.

One name comes to mind on why OSU is ineffective, Tom Herman.

Yep. It's been like a general leaving and handing over a military arsenal to civilians. They don't know what to do with it.

[victor2111]

Sure, losing Herman sucks but he is not the only reason this offense is not performing like last year.

This year: 17TD 8INT 7.64 YDS PER ATT
Last year: 42TD 12INT 9.06 YDS PER ATT

1. Jalin Marshall carries are down but that is because Braxton is getting those carries now out of the WR position. If a WR is going to get carries, it is going to be Braxton. There was no Braxton last year so Marshall got those(And Dontre WIlson early on). Not anymore.

2. The sweep was a great play last year. We had Evan Spencer & Devin Smith blocking on the outside. Spencer being the best blocking WR in tOSU history and Smith being a very good blocker also. Now you've former QB and former RB trying to block on the edge. That is completely different.

3. Last year we had a great deep threat WR that could go up and get the ball. Those passes last year by Cardale were not money late in the year, it was Devin Smith making adjustments and making the catches. Go back and watch him track the ball and go get it. We don't have that this year. It either needs to be on the money or it is not going to be caught.


With no deep threat this year, teams can now load the middle of the field. This is the part of the field where Thomas, Marshall, Braxton, TE, etc can use their playmaking ability. This year that is much harder to do since no one is afraid of Ohio State beating them deep.


Losing Herman sucked and plays a part into it. But another problem is Ohio State didn't find replacements for Devin SMith & Evan Spencer. Sure we have a lot of great tools to use, but those tools are the same tools. You need different tools to finish the masterpiece you're building. Right now Ohio State is missing the other tools of the puzzle.
