Matchup that concerns me the most

He looks like not only is he powerful and can handle double-teams at the point of attack, but he also has a nice swim move and other pass rush moves. He is a beast.

The mere thought of pressure gets Beck shook. This kid has an ability to disrupt our whole pass game and, in turn, our whole night.

I think we are ok in the run game with duo and other **** that gives him help. I watched a good breakdown by Landon Tengwall that showed that Brockermeyer can't absorb and hold point of contact solo. So we should just do our best to limit any line call that puts him in that position. Im drilling Tommy and Carson the last 10 days on all the ways we can avoid this scenario. With either line calls or out right audibles

I agree. I saw the same video by Landon on YouTube. It was excellent. Dude knows his stuff. Brockermeyer is definitely our weak link on the OL, especially when having to face a likely Top 10 to Top 20 pick that is a monster at DT. Dude’s entire game is based on power, which is our center’s kryptonite.

Hopefully Dawson and Mirabal have done tons of advanced scouting and attack OSU accordingly. If they leave #52 on an island against McDonald, it’ll be a long night for our Canes. Gotta use RB screens, and lots of misdirection to try to confuse them. If we try to run A gap in this game it’ll be curtains.
 
I don't expect we ask him to run block 1on1 much with #98. Key will be whether Brockermeyer can get to the second level when he doubles him with a guard. Also whether our TE can block an edge when they are in a bear front and we double him. Avoid running outside zone, where Brockermeyer would be 1on1 against him. Dawson needs to riff off successful running plays against #98. UW inserted the TE against him in a bear front. It worked somehow. IU had the inline TE downblock against him on their explosive run in the first half - he still nearly blew the play up and mucked up the pulling guard, but he sold out and it was a huge play. I think we should try similar action with Toney at QB and pulling Cooper/CiCi, since Toney can hold the weakside LBer (Reese in the IU game) and Beck can't. Pray Lofton ate his Wheaties.
 
This is a guy- you chop chop chop chop all game long. Its frustrating, slows your first step as you begin to anticipate it, and gives that critical extra second for RB to pass through a hole or QB to deliver. It is the most frustrating tactic to face as a DLine or LB…people diving at your legs is a good equalizer
 
McDonald is a problem on run plays moreso than on pass plays. He isn't as disruptive and will disappear at times when pass rushing. If he can't win with a bullrush or use his 1st step to get a beat on the lineman, he'll try to time a jump for a pass deflection. Essentially, he's a high level run stuffing DT.
