I seriously think that he was still in Texas speed on saturday. I think he was so quick to get ready to drop the ball once one guy was not open that he ran. I think as the game went on he slowed down. On the first dirve of the second half he had some good passes to Ginn and holmes for about 20 each. The drive stalled, but it seemed like the game slowed down a little for him.
Then the int he threw was a bad read, and the corner jumped the route, I think he started to press when he looked up at the scoreboard and realized we werent beating the hell out of the team and tryed to put up 50 pts. in one play. They just need to let the game come to them. |

I think this may have something to do with our offense not having an identity. Spread offense week one airing it out. Conservative offense week two. Week three brought a mixture of who knows what.
It seems like each year our offense doesn't find its sync until about week 6. But if the coaches don't know, how can we expect the guys on the field to know?

You posted season totals without looking at the game-by-game scores, not to mention the thread title in which you loaded it with your own conclusion (" OSU will never have a high powered offense").

If I didn't love this team so much I would wish we "opened it up" and "threw the deep ball" all day long......resulting in 10 INTs and a gigantic beat down, just to see what the idiots would say then.

I'm saying that this kind of recruiting won't last if the offense continues to be as anemic as it has the last two years and is starting out to be this year... an opinion shared by Herbstreit... I'm of the opinion that Woody changed his offensive philosphy for just such reasons. |
