On 11W... before the wisconsin/MSU game they said MSU would win and more amazingly they said MSU has the better offensive line.

Jesus. Christ. They lost all respect from me. Look at the FUCKING numbers Dinardo. They struggled with Fuhrman/ND and you're saying they're better then a offensive line that just steamroller OU? Go fuck yourself BTN.

SCRAMBLES AND DESIGNED QUARTERBACK RUNS FOR J.T. BARRETT A DELICATE BALANCE FOR OHIO STATE

74661_h.jpg,qitok=DCelLn-_.pagespeed.ce.RAM4uh854z.jpg


Urban Meyer knows he needs J.T. Barrett playing well for Ohio State to win football games. Any program in the country would be glad to have the redshirt junior calling plays and orchestrating things at the line of scrimmage. That isn't news.

But Barrett's injury history—a torn ACL in high school and broken ankle in 2014—works against him and draws into question how much the Buckeyes use him in their rushing attack. Meyer and offensive coordinator Ed Warinner stressed a desire to call less designed quarterback runs in 2016 in an effort to keep Barrett off the injury report. He is too essential to what Ohio State wants to do this season.

“He's got the keys,” Meyer said on Monday. “He's real good at that. Real good at that.”

So, with Knox lost for the year...is Kyle Trout viable at all? There were five scholarship OL who didn't travel to Oklahoma, but he's the oldest of the group as a RSSo.

Wohlabaugh seems to be groomed to RS and replace Elflein in 2017 and Feder is hurt, so that leaves Trout, Cupp, Gerald or a walkon.

Trout played yesterday and wasn't noticeable. That's probably the single best thing one can say about an o-lineman, isn't it?

FILM STUDY: THE NEWEST WRINKLE IN THE OHIO STATE RUNNING GAME

74884_h.jpg,qitok=I21rW6Ki.pagespeed.ce.kDPMLALQ8_.jpg


After two years of watching opponents stack their defensive fronts with looks set to stymie the interior running game, Urban Meyer has finally decided to take things outside.

It obviously helps that his best player, Curtis Samuel, has the speed to exploit defenses both as a running back or receiver, but the 2016 Ohio State offense has embraced a philosophy quite different from the one we saw when Carlos Hyde or Ezekiel Elliott were taking handoffs in the Buckeye backfield.

Just as he had in the previous game against Oklahoma, Samuel kicked off the first Buckeye possession against Rutgers by taking back-to-back lead-sweeps around the outside, running the exact same play to each side and picking up a first down. While he took a break to catch his breath, tailback Mike Weber joined the fray, catching a swing pass and taking an outside handoff for a first down of his own. Within the first four plays, just as they had against the Sooners, play-caller Ed Warinner had made it clear that their primary plan was to attack the open field outside of the tackle box.

While the Buckeyes cruised to an easy 58-0 win in which they tallied 410 rushing yards against the Scarlet Knights, the more important takeaway was not the total number of yards, but rather how they got them. Much of what we saw was nothing new to close followers of the team, as each of the concepts shown on that first drive has long been part of Meyer's playbook. In addition, the Power-Read concept that was prominently on display and would eventually spring Weber to a 46-yard touchdown run in the second half is also one of the coach's favorites.

As expected, Chris Ash played the same, 4-3 Over front he installed in Columbus before the 2014 season, the same one we still see from the Buckeye defense today. Such a look should be susceptible to the inside running concepts like the 'Tight Zone' and 'Power-O' that Meyer long relied upon to open up lanes for Hyde, Elliott, and others. However, with Ash's 'Quarters' safeties undoubtedly looking to get involved in stopping the run, just as we've seen from Michigan State in the past, Meyer threw his former assistant a curveball.

Another reason why a "2 quarterback system" wasn't a good idea.

Speaking on the Big Ten coaches weekly teleconference, Meyer said there is no worry this week about his team focusing with a huge game looming next week at Wisconsin.
  • On J.T. Barrett's improved decision making, Meyer said, "He's getting 95 percent of the reps whereas a year ago he had to split a lot of reps. ... You have to get those game reps and he's getting them all."

Buckeye Breakdown: The Addition of Misdirection to the Read Option and Springing Mike Weber

Ohio State has been operating the Zone Read/Power Read Option since Urban Meyer took over in 2012, but they have recently added a consistent misdirection wrinkle to the attack to utilize their offensive weapons. We take a closer look at how the Buckeyes broke their tendencies in this week's Buckeye Breakdown.
