***Official CFB NCG Thread: Ohio wins; Joe T shamed once again*** (1 Viewer)

Marcus is making lots of nice throws tonight. He's also without his top 2 WRs.
And Ohio State is without their top 2 quarterbacks.

Let's face it- in the past several years, whenever Oregon has struggled on offense, it's against a big, strong, physical defensive line. They haven't really played one all year, now they are. So far, I think that's the key to the game.
Bull####.
How am I wrong? BTW, I still suspect Oregon will pull this out.
MSU is a big strong physical defensive line. FSU probably has one of the most talented defensive line in the country.

Oregon is losing this game because of a couple of plays here and there. Their WRs drop first downs. Jones barely escapes a safety, or a sack. Oregon gets stopped on the half foot line. OSU gets a nice spot on a fourth down. Oregon's offensive line isn't getting dominated - they're just not dominating their opponents. Hell, they racked up nearly 300 yards of offense in the first half and only got 10 points.

What was FSU?
They weren't as physical.
I was asking with respect to your blanket statement about playing a physical defense. If you don't consider FSU's defense to be physical, what do you consider it?
OK. If you want me to be exact- Oregon hasn't played a team AS physical as this one. Yes Florida State, Stanford, Michigan State all had physical defenses but not AS physical as this one. And so far the Buckeyes are controlling the LOS on both sides of the ball. Fair enough?
I don't need exact.....clear will work. Thanks for the clarification. Though I will say, the MSU defense in week 1 was very different than what they finished the season with. They simply got worn down early in the season. You could watch it happening. Tough to be in football shape that early in the season.

OK. Good analysis.

 
That 2nd turnover really hurt but overcame the first one by stopping the Ducks at the 1 on 4th down. 21-10 at the half after that first TD in like 2 minutes I never expected us to hold them to 3 points the rest of the way.

Get the ball to start the 2nd half need to get a score on the first drive and put the pressure on.

That offense had three turnovers to work with too....don't forget that. Yet are down 11

Actually 2, one of which left them well inside their own 20 and the other was on their side of the field as well. Plus, they turned the ball over on downs, so its really more like 2 turnovers to 1.

 
tOSU seemed to get more and more comfortable with Oregon's speed on offense as the first half went on. Let's see who makes the better adjustments at half. My instinct tells me Meyer has the advantage.

tOSU was never gonna have a problem with Ducks speed, it's the tempo they might have issues with. As long as the first guy makes the tackle, they are fine.

I think Mariota catches a lot of teams off guard when they see it live.
 
Oregon was so effective against FSU with that bubble screen, and short outlet passes. Maybe they'll try more of that in the 2nd half.
