I feel like we were much more up tempo early in the season than we are now. The offense seemed to flow better when we were just going.

Still waiting to see Mike and JK in the backfield at the same time. If not this game, better see it in the finale. Wouldn't mind seeing some early down middle/RB screens either to offset the pressure. Gotta believe MSU's mindset has to be to shut down the run and get them into obvious 3rd down passing situations. Seen some big plays out of the screen game this year. Need some explosive, chunk plays to pull this one out.

Sparty's weakness on D is our strength on Offense. You could very well be right especially if a big part of those 100 yards are getting us first downs.

OHIO STATE NOTEBOOK: SHEA PATTERSON INFORMS DWAYNE HASKINS ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE, ALEX GRINCH DEFENDS NOT PLAYING BRENDON WHITE SOONER AND RPOS COULD RETURN
RUN-PASS OPTIONS MIGHT RETURN
After Ohio State’s 36-31 win against Nebraska, Isaiah Prince and Mike Weber each said the offense didn’t run any run-pass options. Both Urban Meyer and running backs coach Tony Alford said that wasn’t completely true, but admitted the team relied heavily upon handoffs without any options.
It worked.
After months of a declining run game, the Buckeyes averaged 5.7 yards per carry and gained 229 yards on the ground. J.K. Dobbins had 23 rushes for a season-high 163 yards for a 7.1 yard-per-carry average, his best of the season. Weber gained 91 yards on just nine carries, though he struggled to hold onto the ball.
Throughout the two weeks leading up the the game, Ohio State’s coaching staff stressed a return to a physical, dominating run game that had disappeared in recent weeks.
“We were like, 'Look, this is what we're going to go do,’” Alford said. “We did it. We're going to do it again and again and again, and this is exactly how it's going to look. If it doesn't, we're going to do it again until we get the way we want it. Our players really responded to that.”
Some of the improvement on the ground can be chalked up to a better attitude and more focus on the craft, but it might not have been a coincidence that fewer run-pass options led to more yards per carry.
Prince and offensive line coach Greg Studrawa have both mentioned how difficult it can be for linemen to block without knowing whether it’s a run or a pass.Normal, classic handoffs allow linemen to tee off on defenders.
A lower amount of run-pass options might just be a one-week blip, though, Alford said. He said the determination of which runs to call comes down to “schematics.” In other words, the opponent, the opponent’s scheme and individual matchups factor into the types of run plays that the coaches use.
“It's a week-by-week deal trying to schematically what matchups and what we feel we need to do,” Alford said. “Michigan State and Maryland and the Team Up North, they've got really good schemes and coaches and players too, so what do we need to do, what do we feel we need to do to take advantage of what we do. But at the end of the day, it comes back to, again, be physical, do your job, make plays.”

Time to get it back together. Coaches introduce concepts and plays and then just ignore them later. No jumbo today? Tate’s in but never keeps it? BTW @bukIpower you only got an hour or so left before you need to check with the Dr.

Well then JERRY... I reckon we only have have two WRs that have 1k yards then.
He aint 5 yards shy he's 120 yards shy lol...
I stand by my comments... we won't be right again until Tate is involved in the offense. He doesn't have to start but he has to play massively.Time to get it back together. Coaches introduce concepts and plays and then just ignore them later. No jumbo today? Tate’s in but never keeps it? BTW @bukIpower you only got an hour or so left before you need to check with the Dr.
If 7 isn't going to go for 300 and 75% then he's of no use to this offense. We have to be balanced and I fully believe Tate is the only way to do so.
