PFF Breaks Down Miami/OSU

[bobbydigius]

We weren't supposed to hang with Notre Dame. We weren't supposed to get in the playoffs. We weren't supposed to beat A&M. We can't hang with Ohio State either.

We were 100% supposed to hang with ND and had a clear path to the playoffs this year that we unfortunately nearly fumbled. Also, we were only a 3.5 point dog on the road against 8-4. This the first point you brought up where everyone in the nation has a consensus we are underdogs.

Our biggest concern is going to be our Center going against McDonald... hope they don't let him push the middle of the pocket into Beck

Exactly my first thought!

He is going to get blown up like no other game this year and we’ve seen him get pushed back 2-4 yards vs mediocre DT’s.

Duo blocking will need to be mixed in but more importantly, we are going to need Pringle this game in the running game.

This really comes down to Beck and the passing game, however. Will need to set up the run game with the passing game early.

2nd down will be the key down the entire game as that to me should be the running down.

He's an All American bro

If folks think Miami has a plodding/sluggish offense, you ain’t seen nothing yet. OSU loves 13/14 personnel and 8 possession games.

I would be surprised if they changed their approach and went tempo bc they haven’t really done that all year and it’s not their style. Their style is to condense the game into as few possessions as possible and be efficient on offense.

As for their defense, they don’t do anything exotic bc they don’t need to - they rely on their talent. The key to our run game is McDonald. If he has his way with brockermeyer, it’s going to be tough sledding on inside runs and we will struggle.

100%

Miami A&M was a low scoring game but was exciting because of the defense and physicality

You want to put yourself to sleep? Put on OSU and Texas

Sure it was good defense but the plodding god awful playcalling and two QBs that couldn’t complete a decent pass

I was watching that game with some friends and it was torture
