When OSU commits to mauling the other team, everything else opens up.
When Haskins came in, we had to rely on the RBs. Usually that resulted in 3 & 5 or less (the play of the game pass to Mack was 3 & 4 until we were backed up by two penalities in a row).
Power running opened up mesh & slant passes.
It’s like the coaches just decide to get lazy and run JTB no matter what in close games. He’s good, I get it. But think of how much better his running is when the RBs are a threat.
