Anybody see the game and know the particulars?


So I haven't gone back and watched just yet... I think I flipped back and forth that night but it's been a while.

Here is the 40 minute version: LINK

Going to be watching a lot of their games over the next couple of weeks... What I will say is that Ohio State did not pop off the screen in the B1G championship as much as I expected. Their front 4 on defense seem to be very good, but I was less impressed with the rest of their defense... this leads me to believe that Oklahoma was probably a bad matchup for them... Oklahoma has a ton of success throwing the short/intermediate route to talented skill players and letting them do damage. By getting rid of the ball quickly, it helps to negate the DL strength and takes advantage of what at least on the surface seem like less talented LBs and DBs... *Note* - this is just opinion based on a different game... will follow up once I get time to watch this one.

I'm not sure OU's defense is as terrible as everyone thinks.

They've had some bad games, for sure, but they're just as capable of having good ones. Ohio State is a perfect example. They slowed down OSU's run game and didn't allow any big plays - similar to how we were able to stop Notre Dame.

I feel like their defense is going to come into this game with something to prove after hearing the media talk all season about how much their defense sucks.
