I just wish after Bama he would of pulled the trigger he pulled this year. I put it on CoVid because this year he pulled the trigger on Stud. Anyone with a brain knew big changes on D were needed. The Stud firing was more of a stealth move.
Go back and note how many times Ohio State failed to get a first down on third and short running the ball and it becomes a lot less stealthy.
I think it’s program now ..that Combs hire seemed more like Urban/ Gene Smith influenced. My guess and hope especially with the Stud canning that Day is all in and NFL talk was pure speculation.
4 tackles and a Freshman Running back that needs some weight room work and a little more stamina. Hurt the running game. The a QB run scheme with no QB run. Short yardage requires TE blocking this team did not have that.
That Freshman running back is a complete stud and doesn't need anything more than reps. Remember he didnt even play his entire senior year and still comes in and dominates. He just needs reps to figure the college speed and nuances and hopefully his vision will develop with that. He's shown he can move the pile but he has a little of the JK ankle tackle going as a freshman. Reps reps reps
During the season, especially early on, they did have to limit his workload so he didnt burn out and hit the wall before the crucial games. He was getting the most reps after about game 5 so they did it right. The reps coming this spring will be huge and into the beginning of next season his stamina should be up to snuff and he'll be a monster
I would love that..not the way I would’ve done it but Henderson makes AA next year Ill be ecstatic.
I’m sure he picked some of that up from Chip Kelly too. You have to be a good recruiter to get kids from Texas and urban LA for rural Oregon
