I think, especially with a young team, it's a really good idea to keep the playbook simple early on in the season. It was hard to know exactly what the player could and couldn't do when the season started. Now we know exactly what players can do. TGII can score every time he touches the ball. TS can scramble for a first down when nobody is open, and can fire bullets to open recievers. JZ, WHEN GIVEN TIME TO STAY IN THE POCKET, can be a VERY accurate and smart passer, using many different recievers to move the ball. The defensive schemes got more complex as the season went on, and everybody on defense seemed to handle their assignments as well as it is drawn up. Everyone on offense started to execute, and the O-line improvement was the biggest reason for the success.
When this offense was struggling, I posted that it wasn't the playcalling that was keeping this team from scoring, but it was the execution, and that didn't mean it wasn't JT's fault. It's JTs job to get these guys to execute. He needs to put the right guys on the field, and recruit the right guys that are going to be able to learn the system and perform to the best of their abilities and play within themselves. That wasn't happening in the first half of the season. It sure did in the second half. This is the 4th year in a row where tOSU has been playing it's best football at the end of the season. That's all due to the coaching. GO BUCKS!
