Louisville v Miami.....

[Buckmark1]

Your statement seems to imply the more prolific an offense is - the less likely the team is to win a championship.

Reread my post and you will see that I said that it doesn't have to be that way! I was just asking if given the choice what would you prefer. All of us would much rather have both a prolific offense and championships, but 2002 was so sweet that I'm willing to be pretty patient in hopes that our coach really does know what he's doing and will bring us another one in the not-to-distant future.

Like I also said earlier, my patience may run out this week but I won't know that until Saturday sometime between 3:30 and 7:00!

I hate Miami...definitely my least favorite non-big 10 school.

It's been soooo long that I had almost forgot until watching this game that a team is still allowed to go for 6 instead of 3 after they cross the 50 yard line.

I will give Tressel credit in that I think he has opened the playbook up quit a bit. Every Saturday Night i sit down with my old high school defensive coordinator and we watch highschool game tapes from Friday and I bring the buckeye game tapes from Saturday.

Its amazing how many little things our offense does wrong. All it takes is 1 lineman to mess up and the entire running play is blown up. I will say that Zwick has done alot better job with going through his reads(widereceivers) than the first game i saw. Now he has to learn to get the hell out of the pocket and throw it away. Now of course I don't have the advantage like the OSU coaches have with the "eyes in the sky", I have to go on live coverage but it is easy to follow what the lineman are doing.

I think what excites me is that I know this buckeye team is capable of doing much better on offense and any game could be that breakout game we need.

it kind of makes me wander just exactly what the hell the OL does in practice... we all know they don't hit the sled, so, what is it? do they just sit around and discuss how they are going to block or what??? it's driving me a little batty... i mean, they make SO MANY mistakes!!! they should have cleaned these up in the first three games... not still be making them in week 6 or 7... same goes for the last couple seasons too... WTF is going on?

and as for the "eye in the sky" comment... neither Jim Bollman, nor Mark Snyder are in the Booth... in my very humble opinion, they should BOTH be up there... how the hell can they see what's going on from the sidelines???

it's mind boggling... and frankly, i'm fed up with it... i am very near the point that i will refuse to watch the Buckeyes... now, don't get me wrong, i still love them, and hope they do well, but i watch too much GOOD football, and i can hardly bear to watch my team play such BAD football...

oh... just to keep it on topic, i really enjoyed watching that game... "execution" on offense is fun...
