Akron Zips at tOSU, Sep 25th, 7:30pm BTN

[LordJeffBuck]

A shiny new dime for anyone who can tell us who holds the record for the most games rushing for 90-99 yds.

TreVeyon Henderson.

Pay up!

Just sayin':

1) All 5 OL made the list. The depth at OL is impressive as 2 past starters Thayer Mumford and Harry Miller weren't even available to play.

2) They beat Akron 59-7 and the 2 QBs played pretty well but didn't grade out as "champions". What do you think the final score would have been if both McCord and Miller had achieved "champion" status?

The only game against an in-state school that I can remember thinking afterwards, “The Buckeyes played with MORE effort than them”

Yeah, sure, they had something to prove. Plenty of Buckeyes have had plenty to prove and didn’t go out and give that kind of effort.

From one standpoint, this actually points out that there is still a ways to go; some of what we saw happened because a Zip or two loafed while our guys kept playing full speed.

Fine, whatever

I’d rather cheer for a team that is still trying to figure it out while giving it everything they have than for a team like the one up north

I loved the effort of the freshman ..it lead to two penalties…but they were having fun.

Two questions on the game. First, how many drops did the Akron WRs have? Seemed like a ton. Next, did Laurinaitis basically say OSU needs to stop rotating so many LBers so the ones in can get into a flow of the game?

They had quite a few but some were of the "hearing footsteps" variety. JL said that he'd have had a talking to with Fick if he was getting taken out for series at a time. LOL I get it too, you just get a good feeling for what they're doing then you come out and have to feel it all over again.

 

[Smudger]

I believe @Smudger or someone else said that Ransom was rotating series with Shaw. Maybe so.

They were alternating series almost the entire game. Ransom played longer into the 4th and I even saw him go back to the slot-corner spot to give Cam Martinez a breather once early in the contest.

I do not recall a defensive series either played back-to-back until Ransom got some more action exclusively with the backups & the backups, backups.

Good read.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Definitely knew it was more than "it's Akron" that cause us to look so good on Defense. They finally figured out the need to change looks and disguise coverages. We already knew we had the better Jimmy's and Joes but the X's and O's were failing us. Get the X's and O's right and the Jimmy's and Joe's win championships.

5. After generating little pass rush through the first three weeks (4 sacks), the Buckeye defense was officially credited with 10 sacks against Akron (although to be fair, some of the so-called sacks seemed to come on designed QB runs). All American Haskell Garrett accounted for 3 of those sacks (all legit), and true freshman Tyleik Williams added another pair (both also legit). Five other Buckeye DL got into the sack action - Zach Harrison; Jerron Cage; Antwuan Jackson; Jack Sawyer (first career); and Ty Hamilton (first career). In his first game action, true freshman Mike Hall had a tackle but also a pair of 15-yard penalties (hands to face; unsportsmanlike).

UPDATE: In the initial stats sheet for the Akron game, Zach Harrison was credited with one sack for zero yards lost. I thought that looked strange at the time, and now Ohio State has eliminated Harrison's sack and credited him with a regular tackle. So give the team 9 sacks for the Akron game, not 10 as originally reported.

What happened to the Harrison talked about constantly from March to 9/1. LJ mentioned him first every time he spoke to the media?
