RIP Tempo Hype

[mauricxe]

I think we were all tired of hearing how the Buckeyes wouldn't be able to handle the tempo.

In the end, it was Oregon's defense that was gassed. They were worn out the old fashioned way.....LONG physical drives.

OSU pretty much ran the same play over and over and over lololol. Counter Trey (some people call it power).

May this be the last time we hear about the great Oregon tempo. It has failed once again when faced with a talented, physical, and fast team. Execution is what matters. Our boys showed no signs of unusual fatigue nor where they not on the line quick enough.

good job last night defense.
good job last night defensive coaches.

RIP UpTempo Hype....you will not be missed.

It was effective the first drive of the game and....that's it.

If it weren't for OSU's self inflicted turnovers, OSU wins this game by 40.

Oregon can't play from behind. They have never really been able to.

This was the first time in 5 years they have led by 7 and lost. It's been 10 years or so since they came from more than 14 down.

I don't think this kills the hype. Just like when we beat them in the Rose Bowl didn't kill the hype. More often than not it gives them match ups to exploit. The problem they will always have is when they get to the big game they will be playing teams that have the athletes to take away some of those mismatches.

We sure did give everyone a blueprint, but they won't have an EE or a 12 gauge.

Up tempo can work great, but you can't hang your hat on it alone. Just like any gimmick, you need a steady dose of good, sound football. Otherwise, when you meat a big, physical, and very talented and prepared team, you will flounder.

And let's not pretend that Oregon has the same caliber off players, top to bottom, that OSU does either. What Oregon manages to do with what they have to work with is impressive.
