Ohio State vs. Miami (FL)

[TigerTownKid]

Ohio State was by far the better team. Aside from the 2 bone head special team break downs, Ohio Stae dominated this game. The defense was good as always. Gave up some yards but played well and made big plays. The offense moved the ball very efficiently against a good defense. I'd like to see them capitalize more on td's rather than fg's when their that close. Pryor played very well and balanced. 27 passes and 20 rushes is the kindof balance pryor consistantly needs to accomodate his abilities. Overall is was happy with the bucks and gettin a good win over a quality opponet.

On a side note. I respect Tressels class as a coach but I wish he woulda stuck one more in the endzone right there at the end of the game to push the score over 40 lol

Miami on the left, OSU on the right. This hardly shoes that Ohio State dominated this game. They simply dominated two stats (highlighted) which led to their win.

The Buckeyes dominated the offense and defensive sides of the ball.
Miami got most of their yards once the Buckeyes got a 2 score lead in the third.

Soft zone, rush 4 drop 8, keep it in front and in bounds, run the clock.
That is what Miami got most of their yards on.
When OSU started that defensive style in the 3rd, Miami had 140 yards total.
In 1 and 1/2 quarters they got 210 yards on a soft defense that was designed to allow Miami to eat clock and get a field goal at worst. It worked.

agreed, but as I said. IF it wasn't for those interceptions it was a whole different ball game, and the penalties. When your defense has to defend from inside their own 30 four times due to interceptions, we were lucky.

Miami got DOMINATED. What game did you watch?

[TigerTownKid]

The one that I was about 13 rows away from the field.

Are you trying to tell me that if Heyward does not pick that ball off , it's not a touchdown?
Therefore that is a 14 point swing in the game RIGHT THERE! And I don believe it was a 12 point win.

If you would look at my post on the other topic, you would know my true feelings on this game.

ohio state needs to get more effecient in the red zone 6 field goals will not cut it in the big ten schedule. actually i think miami is and will be our 3rd toughest opponent on our schedule, maybe even 4th. as we still have games against iowa, wisconsin, penn state, and look what michigan has done, beaten a tough uconn team, then notre dame. they could be the fifth toughest game we play. but we'll not play one with more speed, but ohio states speed was every bit the equal in my opinion, our latteral pursuit is awesome. the miami backs just could not reach the edges to cut up. our kick and punt coverage was very dismal. but he did adjust by short kicking, which was very effecient. let the defense take it from there. definately gonna be a long week for special teams.
