Caught in a Mosh
I love reading these threads after a back and forth game. I spent day on couch with stomach flu watching, so I was a little groggy.
I love the criticism after trying to be aggressive and get first downs with what was working to run the clock out after everyone went nuts being conservative running last week. Make up your minds. I swear some people just like to complain no matter what the hell we do. We won the game 1-0 this week.
My only problem with coaching move yesterday was the inexplicable fake punt attempt. That just blew my mind and gave Indiana momentum and hope.
As far as the team, we are still painfully inexperienced up the gut on D. When Windsor and Givens go out, we get gashed. Mustipher is coming along and will be good next year, but we are having growing pains. Johnson, good story, good kid, but he's invisible. He makes tackles 10 yards downfield, not ideal for an MLB. On offense the dropped passes are my only gripe. We had a very good game plan, those drops were killers. Polk is getting progressively worse with drops while Johnson seemed to be improving a bit then disappeared for second half. Would love to see Dotson get some more reps, Shorter as well if he's healthy.
Food for thought, since the 2016 OSU game we have 5 losses by a combined 12 points. OSU has 4 losses by a combined 106. We are so close, gotta get that depth experienced and we can just redshirt most of our incoming classes, let them grow a year in strength program before tossing them on field
