Deep post route to Ford for an 80yd TD pass, making the score 14-0 (our first 7 come from opening kickoff return to the house)

Bubble screen to the right side. Testing the replacement's feet and getting JC into some space.

Oh God Yes,

I'm sure it's something Foster has looked into, but being able to run it with base personnel is a crucial. It allows Foster to disguise his intentions. Running out three defensive tackles would allow the offense to know exactly what's coming.

Plus, the speed of a defensive end matched up with an offensive guard in pass rush situations was a big advantage for Tech last year.

I agree. If OSU has specific "Bear Beater" plays they are planning on audibling to when they see the bear front, Foster can bait them into bad looks by showing one formation and making a late switch.

I'd rather see RVD in the game as well. And, I hope that Meyer sees RVD in the game, and thinks Coach Bud is tipping his hand that the Hokies are expecting a run, calls a pass play, and RVD drops back into coverage and swipes one for a pick 6.

If we run for 3 yards up the middle on the first play, I won't be mad.

NerdMagic | 10 years 10 months # | Predict our first play from scrimmage (Offense)

This was actually attempted in last years game but Rogers didn't pull the trigger, tucked it, and ran for ~10 yards. His target was going to be Brewer.

me too. I thought Ramsey was in position to win that battle easily.

I don't think Lambert is a bad player, but I thought Ramsey should be better. Anyway, just a one year place holder for Easton anyway.

Thanks, I try to really boil each scheme down to make as simple as possible. Good to know it's working!

Brewer in the gun, quick pass to Malleck for 5 over the middle

With Ramsey and Hargraves right behind him at 7 and 8. It's tight competition between those three.

What I want to see: Post route by Ford caught 15 yds downfield, the Bucky absolutely levels the safety and Ford scampers all the way for a long TD.

What I expect to see: handoff to JCC for a 3 yard gain up the middle.

would the merryman update include the cassell portion, where baseball/soccer/basketball etc have their space? it's pretty reminiscent of a high school down there

Fantastic analysis and examples for THE BEAR!
Thanks for the link to the "bear beaters" article as well. I had no idea OSU faced so much bear last season. The pulling tackle seemed the most effective re-counter to jump-start their running game against the bear. No doubt Foster knows this and has a counter for the pulling-tackle recounter.

Seems like a long way for a tackle to run to seal the double-team; Perhaps Foster blitzes his MLB through the hole and blows up the play in the backfield?

NickVT10 | 10 years 10 months # | Recruiting Updates?

Couldn't find the perfect thread to go off of but this one seemed to work. Will there be a thread coming about recruits visiting the OSU game? I have seen a little bit on twitter about recruits confirming but I expect there will be a good amount.

I just pounded my desk with my fist in excitement of the proximity of this game. It is 10:00 am on a Tuesday.

Bring on the Buckeyes now!

I expect Bud treats these matchups like he does Paul Johnson. He's not going to do the same thing year after year, but the fundamentals are the same. And Meyer on the other side is as skilled as Johnson with his scheme, he will react to the Bear as well. It may come down to the halftime adjustments from both.

Last year, it felt like Urban went to more slants and true pitch option in the 2nd half, which got them back to a tie game.

Awesome write up, really love the pictures for those of us who are visual learners!

That was actually the first play from scrimmage against Boise State, and if Tyrod didn't short-arm it, Boykin would have walked it to the house. They did get the pass interference though.

I've been watching ALOT of past season Hokie games the past month. I can pretty much recite Brad Nessler's play by play from last year's OSU game straight from memory.
