Exactly. They will not be able to run the ball and they don't have the weapons out wide to hurt us.

All just boils down to how our OL plays. If they play well we will hurt this UC team and if they don't we probably win by 10.

If Dobbins doesn't get back on track I'll be a little nervous for the offense going forward. Dobbins has to find a way to get some yards.

We just need to go back to basics with the run game. I used to bitch about Earle running off tackle all game long, but dang nab it if that isn’t what we should be doing right now. Our guys up front are big, they just need to get nasty and just start knocking folks off the line. The holes will be there for Dobbins, Teague and McCall to get decent yardage.

If they could only get 24 at home against UCLA they aren't getting that in the shoe' against a motivated defense.

We score first and never look back.

How many times do we need to get blown out by Purdue or Iowa, or be in games late against teams who have no business being in the same stadium with us before we realize we get a different kind of effort than we would vs UCLA or anybody else. That Purdue team that kept us out of the playoffs last year just lost to a high school. You think their effort was the same for both games?

Cinci's going to be probably more motivated than our defense.

True but;
  1. Noon
  2. Our place = no black out
  3. No cancer kid (that I am aware of)

That's great but their offense is decent at best. So they don't have the weapons to really hurt this defense like Iowa/Purdue had. Also we no longer have Billy Davis so that's a plus.

Plus I think our defense really still wants to prove a point.

PRESSER BULLETS: RYAN DAY, LARRY JOHNSON, GREG STUDRAWA AND OHIO STATE PLAYERS RECAP THE SEASON OPENER, LOOK AHEAD TO GAME TWO AGAINST CINCINNATI

Updates from all seven Ohio State representatives' meetings with the media are below.

Ryan Day:
  • "Watching the film here for a couple days, we've got our hands full." Day credited Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell with doing a good job building that program up. "I've got a lot of respect for Coach Fickell and what he's built down there." He says the Bearcats' defense is "very sound in terms of their scheme." Calls Cincinnati a "very strong program in great shape."
  • Day says Justin Fields "played well in terms of game management." Notes he didn't try to force anything.
  • On the team's performance Saturday: "I think the first quarter, it was exactly the way I envisioned, on both sides of the ball. After that, it was just OK."
  • Day said J.K. Dobbins' fumble on Saturday was "inexcusable." "That cannot happen. We have to get that fixed." Day said Dobbins was crushed about the fumble. "I know J.K.'s gonna bounce right back from that."
  • Day thought Justin Fields "stood in there and took some shots" on Saturday. "That's playing in the Big Ten, and that's what it's going to be like moving forward."
  • On the offensive line: "I actually, after watching the film, was more pleased with how the offensive line blocked than how I thought coming off the field." Said he thought there were more yards to be hard in the running game than the Buckeyes actually gained. Jonah Jackson was credited with nine knockdown blocks and Josh Myers was credited with six.
  • Day said he thought Master Teague "ran well" on Saturday. Said the time Teague missed this offseason with injuries "stunted his progress," but he thought Teague ran hard. "That was definitely a flash for us on offense."
  • Asked about running back recruiting, Day said the Buckeyes currently have a full roster of scholarship players at the position in Dobbins, Teague, Demario McCall, Marcus Crowley and Steele Chambers, but they always look to recruit running backs every year and if someone leaves, they'll need another one. Ohio State currently does not have any running back commitments for the class of 2020.
  • Day said Fields took some shots that he should not have taken on Saturday and needs to be careful to avoid those going forward. "He's also got to learn that this is a long season."
  • On the use of multiple-tight end sets regularly on Saturday, Day said that was partially because of the strength of the tight end group and partially because the Buckeyes thought those packages matched up well with FAU.
  • On what the Buckeyes need to do better this week: "We have to play for a full 60 minutes. Those first 6-7 minutes or whatever it was was completely dominant, but after that, it was just OK. We can't take a deep breath like that." On the FAU game: "A little strange the way the game played out, but a lot to learn from."
  • Day said he was not displeased with Dobbins' play on Saturday, but the Buckeyes know what he can do and Day reiterated that fumbles are unacceptable.
  • Day said the Buckeyes were trying to downplay how much they would go under center going into the season opener. "We're going to keep building that package as we go."
  • Asked for one play that Day liked from Fields' debut on Saturday, he highlighted a 3rd-and-8 play where he made a smart decision to get out of the pocket and throw the ball into the stands instead of risking a turnover.
  • Ohio State still hasn't decided on a second-string quarterback. Chris Chugunov got the call for the last series on Saturday, but he and Gunnar Hoak are still battling for the backup job.
  • Day said he has talked to UCLA coach Chip Kelly, who is one of his close mentors, since the Bruins' loss to Cincinnati last week. He said they did not talk much about the specifics of the game, though. Day's head coach at UNH, Sean McDonnell, who Kelly also worked with, recently took a leave of absence due to health reasons, so Day said "there were more important things to talk about."
  • On going under center: "Justin felt comfortable going under center, and it worked ... not that it wouldn't have worked in the past, but it seems to be working right now."
  • Day said that whenever there were fumbles in the quarterback-center exchange in preseason, both players would be required to take a lap around the field.

Live Updates — Larry Johnson, Greg Studrawa, Justin Fields, More

Justin Fields
+ “I was crazy sore” Sunday after the game. The training staff asked him what hurt and he said everything.

+ He watched Jalen Hurts and Oklahoma and he was rooting for him. They are friends.

+ His favorite play was the first touchdown run. It was surreal. “I was thinking, ‘God is real and God has blessed me.'”

+ His first game in the Shoe lived up to the hype. It also was a blessing to be able to tie Dwayne Haskins’ OSU record for touchdowns in a debut (5). He didn’t know that was the record. If he did, he probably would have tried to score a six.

+ Fields has never slid on a run in his life until this year so it’s been new to him.

+ He thinks he did a pretty good job of staying in the pocket after looking at film. There are always plays that you’d like to fix, but you can’t get too hung up on that.

+ Day always tells Fields to play smart and emphasizes he likes when he throws the ball away. Day wants smart decisions. You just have to know the situation and know the team and what it needs at the time.

+ He watched some film yesterday on Cincinnati with Mike Yurcich.

+ “I think I did pretty good on the read option plays in terms of the defenders.” He’s not trying to take a lot of hits early in the season.

+ After the game his mind moved right to Cincinnati, so he wasn’t really thinking about FAU.

+ The best thing he did was lead the guys.

+ The most important thing he learned was that it is his job to keep the tempo up and keep the standards high.

+ The offense has to keep up the tempo and act like the score is 0-0 the entire game.

+ As the season goes on his body will adjust to getting hit.

+ When he and Josh Myers would have to jog around the field after a botched snap they would discuss what went wrong and why it went wrong during their lap.

+ He still needs to fix little things like protections and going through all of his reads and carrying out his fakes.

exactly. I suppose this could be a blowout for us, but I doubt it based upon what our offense is like at the moment.
