sure seemed like we were playing a lot of zone still against usc. yes i agree that picked TD was illegal, but i've seen that gone uncalled before as well. but one TD sanchez threw it right in the seam of the zone, and it just seems like that we are always playing zone.

Come bowl time they were the best team in the country... no doubt about that. Just took two Ls for them to gel.
There was nobody executing like the Bucks at the end of the year. That bowl game was one of my favs of all time. Running on all cylinders they were.

Fuck it... no more bringing knives to gun fights. I say we start running the same crap until it starts to cost us. Hell, I'd rather take a chance at being called for the pick than movement on the line. At least we give ourselves a fighting chance.

we played plenty of man on Saturday night...and we brought tons of blitzes. Unfortunately, are blitzes did nothing more than force our secondary into terrible situations.
Our corners played tons of man though....I'd agree, we played way too much zone in 06, but since we've incorporated more looks.
The incorporated looks did us no good, however.
I was very impressed with how clean USC's defense came on blitzes. Whether the blitz the brought freed a DE, LB, or safety, in the second half it seemed someone was coming free.
None of our blitzers came free, with exception to Marcus getting loose on the 4th and 3. It felt like to me, USC's pressure wasn't coming from straight beating our o-line, but more confusion amongst where to block and picking everyone up.

Just got my paper copy of BSB and there are two quotes that have my blood boiling:
Maualuga on OSU's Offense: "They did everything we saw on film - nothing changed."
Sanchez on OSU's Defense: "We ran those exact plays against that exact coverage with the exact blitzes in practice. You know, it was like we had played the game 10 times already.
How the hell are these kids supposed to win when we don't even game plan for USC?

Yeah, those quotes made me angry as well. There is a definite need for change in the coordinator positions.

Holtz's official role with the team is unknown, but College Football Talk says "it's safe bet" it will be as either a graduate assistant or quality control assistant.

STAFF ADDITIONS MUST WELCOME ALIGNMENT TO ENSURE SMOOTH TRANSITION, STABILITY AT OHIO STATE
Coaching staff turnover is nothing new to Ohio State and Urban Meyer.
Everett Withers, Mike Vrabel, Stan Drayton, Tom Herman, Chris Ash, Ed Warinner, Tim Beck and even Luke Fickell all left Columbus for other coaching opportunities since Meyer took over ahead of the 2012 season. The exposure of working for Ohio State and the three-time national champion opens doors provided the winning continues, which it has regardless who resides on the staff. The Buckeyes are 61-6 in Meyer's tenure.
Yet the offseason between Meyer's fifth and sixth seasons at the helm has a touch of a different feel. Losing a Buckeye lifer in Fickell to Cincinnati is a significant development, plus Meyer blew up his offensive brain trust. Ed Warinner moved on to Minnesota and Tim Beck to Texas. Those three either had direct ties to the University, each other or Meyer when they worked here. The coaches Meyer replaced them with merely just have connections to him.
New linebackers coach Billy Davis served as the best man at Meyer's wedding in 1986. The two met while playing football at the University of Cincinnati, where Davis lettered four consecutive years. And though he is a Youngstown native, Davis's lengthy coaching resumé includes plenty of time in the NFL — but none in Columbus or with any of the eight other assistants. Davis did coach against defensive coordinator and safeties coach Greg Schiano in the pro ranks, however. While defensive coordinator in 2013, Davis's Philadelphia Eagles beat Schiano's Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-20.
The 2017 season represents the first time Davis will be with Meyer as a full-time assistant. He worked in quality control for the Buckeyes last year.
Quarterbacks coach Ryan Day worked for Meyer as a graduate assistant at the University of Florida in 2005, the head coach's first season with the Gators. Wide receivers coach Zach Smith was with the Gators then too, employed in quality control the lone season Day worked in Gainesville.

AN ATTEMPT TO PROJECT THE LENGTH OHIO STATE'S NEW ASSISTANT COACHES WILL WORK FOR URBAN MEYER
We remain in the dark about how much money Ohio State will pay new assistant coaches Ryan Day, Kevin Wilson and Billy Davis.
We also do not know how many seasons they signed on for with the Buckeyes. Despite multiple follow-ups attempts to open records submissions requesting the details of each man's contract, the University has yet to release the information. The Public Records Office said the contracts "have not been finalized," so there are no responsive records available.
Each assistant was announced as a member of Urban Meyer's 2017 football staff at different times. It makes sense to believe they will remain in Columbus for different lengths as well.
“There is no guarantee and there is no predicting,” Davis, the team's new linebackers coach, said recently.
Wilson jumped at Meyer's offer to be his next offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, which the program finally made public on Jan. 10 after weeks of rumors and speculation. Reports surfaced on the same day that former coordinator Ed Warinner was headed to Minnesota to be P.J. Fleck's new offensive line coach.
Wilson was unemployed a little more than a month. He resigned as head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers on Dec. 1 amid allegations of player mistreatment, though athletic director Fred Glass cited "philosophical differences" as the reason the two sides divorced. Wilson doubled down during his first press availability in Columbus on March 9.
“We wouldn't be here, doing this job, if those things are true,” Wilson said.
In any event, Meyer checked all the boxes with Gene Smith before he pulled the trigger on Wilson, who is tasked with righting an Ohio State passing attack that woefully failed the Buckeyes in 2016. He joins Day, the new quarterbacks coach, in the effort to enhance and augment not only J.T. Barrett's production through the air but the offense's as a whole. And all Davis has to do is step in for a program legend, Luke Fickell.
“We changed a lot of little things. We changed all the coaches’ offices and where they’re at. We changed little things about who goes first. The offense is down here now,” Meyer said on March 7. “I think you just have to, Year 6, change the paint on the building a little bit. It’s been all positive so far.”
But how long will these new faces stick around? If you earn the right to work for Meyer and Ohio State, chances are you'll get an opportunity to move on to bigger and better such as becoming a head coach, provided that is your goal. Tom Herman did it. Everett Withers did too. So did Chris Ash. Fickell was the most recent assistant to take a head coaching job. Stan Drayton and Mike Vrabel went to the NFL. The list goes on.
Here is an outlook for each new assistant's time at Ohio State, what they said about their commitment to the program and what it means for the future.
KEVIN WILSON — OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR AND TIGHT ENDS COACH
Wilson wasn't explicitly asked if he and Meyer had a conversation about the length of his commitment to Ohio State. But he did make it pretty clear that he felt it was important to get back on the sidelines immediately following his unceremonious exit from Bloomington. Then, Meyer pounced.
“I love coaching. I love working with kids. Never thought about not doing it,” he said. “Grateful for the opportunity and blessed to have the opportunity to Coach Meyer for reaching out, for Mr. Smith and the coaches and players embracing me.”
Indiana was Wilson's first chance at a head coaching job and all things considered, he did well. Wilson went just 26-47 in six seasons but in 2015 led the Hoosiers to their first bowl appearance since 2007 — just the second for the program in 23 seasons. Indiana's rise from relative obscurity earned Wilson a fat six-year contract worth more than $15 million, which he signed on the day of the national championship game for the 2015 season, Jan. 11. That is old news now since Wilson works in Columbus but goes to the argument that he can turn around a program
Does he want to be a head coach again? Probably. Meyer typically asks for a two-year commitment from his assistants before they seek employment elsewhere. But having the blessing of a three-time national championship coach is a pretty strong bargaining chip, should those negotiations take place. But Wilson is now the second former head coach Ohio State currently has on staff, joining defensive coordinator Greg Schiano.
“I was worried about that,” Meyer said. “The first one I think I hired was Dan McCarney at Florida. He was a very successful head coach and he came in and there was no duty that was — he just did everything. Joker Phillips came here last year and was an SEC head coach and came in and did a lot of scout work for us, those type of things.
“Then you had Greg Schiano and now I have Kevin Wilson and it’s to be determined but the initial reaction is over the top. He’s jumped right in, he’s one of the soldiers and we’re going to work.”
Wilson has to retool his image some while at Ohio State. His kids are mostly grown, with the youngest set to graduate from Indiana soon. If he coordinates the offense the way everyone expects him to, it wouldn't be a shock if an athletic director came calling in a year or two.
