It looked like we have some success in the running game when we run the power stuff. Pulling Wyatt Teller is a pretty scary sight, and it seems like our running backs were getting 3-4 yrds a pop when we lead with a guard. It looked like we were close to breaking a few longer runs but Joel Caleb / JC couldn't didn't run through tackles, and Sam Rogers, as awesome of a football player he is, is not the smoothest of runners.
French or others - what are your thoughts on why we get away from this? Are we more successfull running the base outside zone / stretch stuff? Power running + play-action has got to be better than what we're doing right now....right?
Does anyone else think Brewer is not right? I thought his throwing motion looked a little weird last night, especially in the first half. There were several throws where his motion looked kinda jerky, like he was really getting into it, and the ball just came out flat. I know he doesn't have Logan's arm, but there were several throws where the lack of power baffled me. I can't remember the specifics, but on a bootleg action to the right side of the field, Brewer had I. Ford running wide open down the sideline...except Brewer could not get the ball there with any zip and the CB broke it up. I understand it's not easy to throw on the run, but it wasn't like it was a 50 yard bomb? He had Cam on a corner post route too that probably would have went for a touchdown...but the ball was 10 yards short? I'm not saying he should be benched, but if he's not healthy, I hope he or the coaches acknowledge it. Just my $0.02. Maybe he was just off in the first half, but it looked like such a departure from OSU Michael Brewer that it really made me wonder if something was up.
And the last thing I'll say...I think we're going to see a significant physical upgrade at both safety spots next year. I think the infusion of CJ Reavis, Holland Fischer, and Anthony Shegog will add alot more size and physicality to our safety spots, assuming they get the mental stuff down. Granted, it's not easy to tackle 250 lb running backs moving downhill, but I'm optimistic Reavis / Fischer / Shegog will be better tacklers. Disclaimer: KJ34 is an excellent hitter...except for last night. It's well documented that Bonner has missed many key tackles over the last few years.
