Pittman is a hellllll of alot better than Ross.
|
Pittman 11 carries for 35 yards.
Ross 11 carries for 33 yards.
And I still want to see the stats on blocking.
I like Pittman too, but nothing last night made the case against Ross.

The defensive adjustments were awful by the coaching staff.

I like to see a DC in the booth looking at pictures and figuring out what the offense is doing - not on the field doing 'rah-rah' with the players. It is frustrating to get beat by the same plays in the fourth quarter that were beating us in the first quarter. But Snyder is new to his job.

Eventually the defense will have a bad game.

33 pionts
444 yards total offense
60% third down conversion rate
Not gonna have to wait long.

The season is not over but if we play like that we will go 6-5.

6-5 would be tough. But the good news is this. This IS a very talented football team. They have as few seniors starting as you are ever likely to see at
OSU. It is not uncommon for a team to suddenly find itself and make a complete change in level of play, and this team is fully capable of that.
All that said, NU is a very good team. Parity is for real and coaching and motivation are increasingly important. We have all the talent in the world, but I am not convinced our game-prep coaches give us that much of an advantage. Our offensive is consistently ineffective and other teams are well prepared for what we are going to do. Our D is not always as well prepared for them and we do not seem to be making the adjustments it made under Dantonio. We had TWO WEEKS to get ready for this game and to make changes in our O. And if you want to hire your brother as the running backs coach - have at it. But someboday better coach the damn running backs.
