His poor wife
I am continually frustrated at seeing OSU coach's and players' comments that try to cheapen our victory over them last year. I'm talking about the "we weren't prepared" stuff. "It wasn't a talent issue, it was about preparation." Just man up and admit you got whooped on your home field! By two touchdowns!
It's reminiscent of Patriots' opponents complaining about Belichick taking advantage of little known parts of the rulebook.
I still believe we can win this game. If we do, I hope that Urban Meyer and company will give credit where credit is due and won't be saying, "Well, if it weren't for those suspensions and Noah's broken leg, we could have beaten them."
Good enough to replace someone in the top three?
And, worse, they were mad. We hung in there for 3 quarters.
I answered this above a couple minutes ago, but it's an interesting topic and I'm not sure you'll scroll through and read it but here's my solution.
1.) Cinci has a deep safety in that clip. That blocking scheme doesn't account for Foster's "Cover 0" version of the bear where that Safety is in the box. The numbers will never add up, there will never be someone to block him on the inside. The only hope is to flank him on the perimeter.
2) If Foster wants to go with a deep safety, he can still put up a succesful defense against this counter. If Foster has the nose tackle aggressive attack the gap to the center's left, the nose tackle will have a great angle on the back. The pulling tackle will have to double team the Nose tackle to seal him inside, and in doing so will leave the Mike unblocked. Otherwise, the nose tackle will have at least an outside arm available to tackle the back.
Rewatch the play now with an eye on the nose tackle. Cinci's nose didn't attack any gap, waiting to see what happened before he reacted.... and he still had the time to get a hand on the back. Zeke had to break that tackle to get to the second level. If that Tackle had tried to get penetration from the get go, he would have blown the play up.
Judge-frickin'-Judy. Believe it or not, he's a huge fan. No joke.
Edit: to include an example.
My god, what is this from?!
I also thought the same thing. I'm not sure whether it was because of where I was sitting, but I'd take Lane in a noise battle any day of the week over the Shoe. The only time I felt it got loud was on some third downs.
Foster can go to Cover 0 against that counter, doesn't matter what happens then that extra safety isn't going to get blocked.
But even if he doesn't go Cover 0, he can make it very hard for that tackle to get a hat on the Mike by playing games with his Nose Tackle. If the Nose Tackle attacks the A-gap to the running back's side of the formation, the tackle will have to commit to sealing him inside (leaving the mike free). Otherwise, the nose tackle will have an arm available in the gap to make the play.

Well this might explain some of the loonies...

# | Ask TKP / OT: If you could only eat one farm animal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Cow, easily.
Because burgers, steak, and dairy. Also brisket. And beef bacon is pretty decent.

If you are on Team Pie then the decision is obvious
We must be very close. The cross posting, point-counterpoint, forum topics referencing forum topics between TKP and 11W is reaching fully dipped proportions.
Not Mark Berman though
UNC TurdHeels (I went there for doctorate and still can't root for them)
Golden Gophers (big spread)
Louisville (even though Petrino's garbage, #goACC)
Aggies (different class)
Badgers (F**k em Bucky)
Hokies (I'm feeling the win, fans/players of OSU are believing last year was a fluke...)
Right, except it's also a zone read and that DE is the optioned defender. If he chases the OT to the RB the QB is keeping the ball and going around the unprotected end.
In the Cinci video clip they show, the LB comes free off the edge and takes the QB, but #90 the DE lined up in 3 technique lets the LG push him way way outside almost like he's playing contain against the QB keeper, opening a huge hole for the RB.
Probably took him 30 seconds to find a college team that was similar in name to Stanford. Does Samford even have a football team?
He was still probably yelling at the officials "Tyrod was out of bounds on that throw, the Georgia Tech QB was out of bounds before he threw that TD", which is why they let the play continue. And for you football historians, the game ended at halftime.
That guy is nuttier than a squirrle turd. I can't wait to see the circus come to Ann Arbor. What happens when he goes 5-7 this year?
Ha!
Frank actually talks about this in Let me be Frank. But ironically it played out a little differently there. He described Harbaugh as very "sharp" after making the Samford comment. All i can say is LOL
Classy response

# | Ask TKP / OT: If you could only eat one farm animal for the rest of your life, what would it be? I mostly eat turkey bacon, so pig is the easy one for me to eliminate. The byproducts part is what makes it hard, but you can get around either one, getting eggs from other birds and dairy from any mammal. Going to have to go Chicken though, I think it would be easier to get used goat based dairy than ostrich eggs.
and we dominated them, 26-8...and weren't they #1 the previous season?
(sorry, they were #13 at the end of the previous season, #14 coming into the game)
