Maybe JT will throw in the 46 defense. If, JT is stuck in the 70's the steel curtain defense wasn't as bad. It won four super bowls!

This, to me, is probably the best historical NFL model for an ideal Ohio State team. A suffocating and intimidating defense as the foundation, and which can win games on its own. And on offense, a consistent running game that's more on the lines of 5 yards and a cloud of dust, combined with fantastic wideouts that stretch the defense vertically multiple times per game. Simplistic and ambitious, I know, but it seems like a good style (and results) template for the current Buckeye personnel. One notable difference is that Bradshaw wasn't quite the danger running the football that Troy Smith is. |

Prior to this year, JT was a head football coach for 18 seasons. 14 at YSU, 4 at OSU.
His overall record was 175-68-2 (.714) with 4 I-AA national titles and 1 I-A title. Impressive totals, no doubt.
However, if you take the scores from all the games he has coached, you arrive at the following:
Average points scored : 25.72
Average points against : 17.94
Average margin of victory : 7.78
Obviously its over an 18 year span, which included several sub .500 seasons. So like i said, FWIW.
JT coaches games based on strong D, special teams, and mistake free offenses. We will rarely blow anyone out, and competitive teams will usually play us close. It's never pretty and definitely not good for the heart, but that's the way it is and the way it will always be with JT at the helm.

I had been arguing well before this thread even started last September that JT runs his offense around the folks he has, and that he indeed had potent offenses at YSU...glad you got a kick out of it though.
