Ducks are only rushing 4 but they are getting no pressure at all on the Buckeye QB. They will have to mix in some blitzes or they will eventually get burned

now, they are starting at their 1 year line....danger time

It’s just nice to get that defense off the field for awhile. Need to get that time of possession evened out a little bit or in the 2nd half that offensive line will tear us apart
 
Feels like it should be 7-6. Hopefully Buckeyes leave even more points off the board.

Herbert had a really poor collection of wide receivers & TE's to throw too. He had Darren Carrington as a freshman and a couple of seasons of Dillon Mitchell. The rest of his WR quality was the level of Brendan Schooler and Johnny Johnson. Or, he was throwing to tiny receivers like Charles Nelson and Jaylon Redd. And the only decent TE he had was Jacob Breeland, who missed half of Herbert's senior season.

compounding that was that in Herbert's junior and season seasons, the Ducks actually led the nation in dropped passes

also, other than 2 years of Royce Freeman, one of which he was hampered with an injury, Herbert had no elite RB's to absorb attention of the defenses

contrast what Herbert had as support to what Mariotta had as support...

RB's: Kenyon Barner, DeAnthony Thomas, Byron Marshall, Thomas Tyner, Royce Freeman

WR's: Bralon Addison, Josh Huff, DeAnthony Thomas, Byron Marshall (switched from RB), Keanon Lowe, Devon Allen, Dwayne Stanford, Darren Carrington

TE's: Colt Lyerla, Pharoh Brown

Just a wealth of targets and supporting talent compared to Herbert. For all the talk about Cristobal's recruiting chops, there has been a real void in recruiting skill positions in the last couple of years of Helfrich, Taggart's one season, and Mario's first couple of years. At QB, RB, & WR. It has been mostly 3-star talent, or less. That will have an impact on offensive consistency

What did colt brennan and Todd Reesing have lol
Most of mike leach air raid teams have nobodies and they don’t even bother running the ball

but changing their offense entirely to suit Herbert probably wouldn’t have been too good long term

Colt Brennan has Ashley Lelie if I recall who was a NFL receiver for years
 
I’m almost getting the feeling that the Ducks didn’t want to show their cards against Fresno and played boring and predictable so Ohio St. couldn’t game plan as well. Because Anthony Brown looks night and day compared to last week. They didn’t even really let him throw last week

Good catch. The point was that the QB shouldn’t need to be surrounded by great talent to put up good numbers if the coaching and philosophy is aligned.

That said, I like how they keep getting Brown out of the pocket.

Cristobal not happy with that third timeout call!

Assistant coaches not doing a good job, cost that TD on D when they didn't get the defensive play in soon enough and it looks like the assistant offensive coach called that last timeout.
 
Oregon seems to be dominating line of scrimmage on both sides. Only weakness is pass rush,
