Yeah I'm not saying they have to BE Vince Young but going from having a drop back passer to a QB Who can get outside and make a few plays here and there would be HUGE. Again, not asking our backups to take over the game but rather just to add another demension that IMO USC has trouble with. We need to do a balance of things in this game to pull this off though and it starts with #28. If USC thought Mendenhall was any good...
On offense I would like to see...
First- Beanie has got to get the ball 20-25 times
Second- We have to have mistake free play from our QB's.
Third-I would like to see us wear on that clock. With 2 Running backs over 220 (Beanie will be 250 mind you), and with an Offensive line as good as ours we should try to bleed the clock.
On defense....
First- Get after whoever the QB is going to be. Don't sit back and wait go get him and force him to do something with the ball.
Second- GET OFF THE FIELD ON THIRD DOWN.
Third- Get after Mcknight..
A question for us buckeye fans... Who would love to see Brian Rolle track Joe Mcknight the whole game? IMO, he's got the speed to atleast keep up but PHYSCIALLY he could really side track Mcknight. While I think Joe is terrific I think
OSU should come up and jam the kid and get after him! Their's 2 things you must do to USC's offense next year 1) get after the QB and 2) Be physical with Mcknight.
