As long as we don't give up any big plays, we should be fine. DE's need to keep contain, and we need to stuff the middle with our impressive DT play this year. If we can do that, we shouldn't get beat in the passing game.

I'd also look for a few blitzes by Kurt Coleman.

Let's just hope if things aren't going well in the arly going we don't wait until halftime or the middle of the 3rd quarter to make adjustments... that's one thing that's always bothered me... Fred Pagac was always able to make adjustments if not after the first drive at least before the end of the 1st quarter... our staff seems to say "Let's wait until halftime"

against Florida and USC (2008) the staff seemed like they said "let's wait until tomorrow"

"Let's wait until tomorrow?"

how about...

"Let's not at all..."

no way that somebody from upstairs couldn't see that Boone and Rhering against Florida couldn't handle those DE's by themselves... but let's not even attempt to put a TE over there or chip him with a back...

It's just like the Browns the first 10 games this season. Instead of keeping a TE to block on our RT's side, we just kept getting sacked, and using our blocking TE as a receiver (Royal had 6 drops in his first 4 games).

Isn't it amazing how coaches at ALL levels dumb themselves to death?

I think it's amazing how all of the coaches in Ohio at any level or profession are terrible at making adjustments at halftime or intermission.

Except for Matta. He's pretty damn good.

Now you have to give Coop some credit(except against Michigan) his staffs for the most part did a pretty good job of making adjustments...

Yeah, Coop was great against every team but Michigan and South Carolina. Lol.

and Florida State, even though that one Florida State team was loaded.

Better throw Bama and Tennessee in that mix too.... those 2 Citrus Bowls were heartbreakers
