I was traveling on Saturday and had to DVR the OSU/YSU game. Prior to watching, I spent a handful of days reading the comments on 11W and assumed Ohio State Armageddon was upon us. Wow, it is not that bad. Here is what I read and here is what I saw on TV:
Read - Devin Brown is terrible and not athletic
- Devin Brown had 2 scoring touchdowns albeit they were runs but made some good throws
- Yes, the one to MH was bad
- On the runs everyone was up in arms about, he was looking to make the pass which made him look slow
Read - Offensive Line is garbage
- Protected well for the most part which is getting overlooked.
- Did see some time where Hintzman got blown up on runs which needs to improve however again young line and I did see more good than bad
Read - Defense can't get off the field nor get any pressure from the line.
- One bad series did keep them on the field but these things do happen in the game of football. 7 points did not come from that drive.
- When there was an obvious pass downs and the lineman could cut loose, they got close. Unfortunately, YSU did not take a lot of shots.
Summary, it's fun to read the comments and think Ohio State will never be good again under Day but then watch the game w/out commercials and realize most people only want perfection to be happy.
Let's Go Bucks and prove 80% of the 11W group wrong.
