It's 3rd and 7 yards to go, Ohio State just called a time out, and is now lined up 5 wide. What do they run?
We know what the 2016 offense would do. I can't wait to see what 2017 brings.

That play Kustok and Basenez ran against OSU for 10 yards a pop for like six fucking years in a row that made me want to throw bricks through my TV.

KEVIN WILSON EXPECTED TO BRING TEMPO BACK TO OHIO STATE'S OFFENSE
Will Ohio State’s offense play at a faster pace this year?
That’s been one of the most repeated questions as the Buckeyes begin fall camp and prepare for the 2017 season.
With Ed Warinner and Tim Beck as coordinators in 2015 and 2016, Ohio State’s offense lacked tempo. The Buckeyes ultimately became too sluggish and predictable, culminating in their loss to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl, where Ohio State managed only 215 yards of offense and was shut out for the first time since 1993.
Ohio State’s offense needs to be more explosive in 2017, and one way to do that could be to move at a faster pace that keeps defenses on their heels and wears them out.
If history and what the Buckeyes said this week are any indication, new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson should bring tempo back to the Ohio State offense.
Wilson came to Ohio State this offseason after six years as the head coach at Indiana, where his teams regularly ranked among the Big Ten’s best (top five every year from 2012 to 2016) in total offense.
Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star, who covered the Hoosiers throughout Wilson’s tenure as head coach, said those offenses played with no shortage of tempo.

FIVE FRESHMEN MOST LIKELY TO PLAY FOR THE BUCKEYES IN 2017
1. J.K. DOBBINS — RB
Of all the players in the 2017 class, the one most likely to see meaningful minutes this coming season is the class' lone running back, J.K. Dobbins.
Dobbins enrolled early, arriving on campus back in December, and since then he has already climbed the depth chart and is likely the No. 2 option at running back already, behind starter Mike Weber.
.
.
.
5. TREVON GRIMES — WR
If he weren't coming off a torn ACL during his senior season, Trevon Grimes might top this list. It's no secret that the Buckeyes desperately need help at the wide receiver position after struggling mightily last season and losing their top-three performing receivers to the NFL Draft and graduation.
When he was healthy, Grimes was the most game-ready of the three receivers in the Ohio State's 2017 class. The No. 5 receiver in the nation, Grimes played at St. Thomas Aquinas where he faced elite competition nearly every game. He's a polished route runner already, runs a speedy 4.43 second 40-yard dash, and at 6-3, 202 is big target.

Kevin Wilson Putting Parris Campbell in Better Position to Succeed
Each of us can think what we want when it comes to what went wrong with the 2016 and 2015 Ohio State offenses.
Be it the offensive line, the quarterback, the play calling, the design, whatever. There were issues each stop of the way. None of it was what we expected to see.
At the end of the season, then throughout the spring, and now into the first week of fall practice, I’ve been surprised a bit when players or coaches allude to players on offense not being put in enough of a position to succeed.
“Coach (Zach) Smith is taking a different approach this year,” H-back K.J. Hill said in the spring. “He’s telling us it’s going to be more his stuff this year than last year.”
Anyone remember how upset Mike Weber was with his lack of touches in the playoff game against Clemson?
Of course you do.

Rating the 2017 Big Ten Offensive Lines
Big Ten East
1. Ohio State
The Buckeyes return four starters and have about a half-dozen former high school All-Americans to choose from to fill out the fifth spot. All-American Billy Price moves from right guard to center. He is the lone First-Team All-B1G member returning on the offensive line this year. Left tackle Jamarco Jones was a Second-Team selection last year. Left guard Michael Jordan was a Freshman All-American last season. Right tackle Isaiah Prince had a couple of bad games last season, but has all of the tools.

Rating the 2017 Big Ten Quarterbacks
Big Ten East
1. Ohio State
What happens when you give Kevin Wilson a record-setting senior quarterback? Likely more records. J.T. Barrett comes into 2017 with something to prove. Some people are down on him for his performance last season, but he was still good enough to win the Silver Football Award. With Wilson and quarterback coach Ryan Day in charge, expect Barrett’s best season as a Buckeye. He’s also adept at picking up fourth-and-ones with ease. Behind him are three blue-chip quarterbacks fighting among themselves to back him up and get some snaps.

2. Ohio State
This might be the first controversial ranking, because I have Michigan State and L.J. Smith rated below Ohio State. Here’s the thing, though, Scott carried the ball two more times than Mike Weber for 102 fewer yards. Weber was more productive than Scott. Both could stand to be more consistent, and both should be this year. Ohio State separates themselves here with depth. Sophomore Demario McCall and freshman J.K. Dobbins could be two of the most dynamic ball carriers in the B1G in 2018. Antonio Williams brings up the rear, but would be starting many other places.

3. Ohio State
Speaking of questions, the Buckeyes have plenty of them. Junior Parris Campbell replaces Curtis Samuel, but only has 13 career receptions. Sharing the spot at H-back is sophomore K.J. Hill, who is actually the leading returning wide receiver with 18 catches for 262 yards and a touchdown last year. Junior Terry McLaurin started plenty last season, but caught just 11 passes. He had a solid spring. Sophomore Binjimen Victor is as talented as any receiver Urban Meyer has ever had, but now it’s time to start showing it. Keep an eye on junior Johnnie Dixon, who has battled knee injuries forever. Freshmen Trevon Grimes and Jaylen Harris are worth watching. Tight end Marcus Baugh (24-269-2) could be in for a big year. Behind him are talented redshirt freshmen.

Exactly what I complained about all year, our receivers were not put in situations to succeed. I also said Campbell will be an NFL draft pick. We had more weapons last year than just Samuel, but the 2 bozos never decided to use them. Instead they came up with the genius idea to run Samuel in motion and hand him a jetsweep. Wow, how innovative.

And one that was so freaking predictable. Everytime Samuel went in motion flat down the LOS it was either a handoff or a rub route to try and hit samuel. Btw both were big third down plays as well. Couple those observations with our painful tendency to run QB draw with an empty set (motioning a TE into the backfield no less) and you could say we were embarrassingly predictable
If all of us could see these tendencies I shutter to think what Clemson saw with 6 weeks to prepare
