OSU at Texas Second Half Open Thread

Texas_osu_helmets_medium

Texas leads 21-14 at half, but hasn't been particularly sharp. The kickoff team has been a disaster. OSU gets the ball to start the second half.

officially nervous

Muschamp needs to make some adjustments in 2nd half. Not feeling good that we’re dominating Time of Possession and only up 7.

Still, better than being down 35-3

PB was totally right

When he named OSU’s offensive line as MVP a few weeks back . . . Rak has barely been mentioned. I haven’t heard Miller’s name called (course, these announcers managed to get Blake Gideon on OSU). Pass rush mediocre, pressure not consistent, lotta rushing yardage allowed. But biggest deal is field position . . . that’s defense and special teams.

2nd half adjustments

Defense and special teams need to tackle. Schematically, the defense seems to be a little out of position, particularly on OSU’s first and second possession. We were a little lucky to have the fumble. Kickoff…boot it out of the end zone.

OSU is a hard team to be aggressive against.

They victimize and punish you if you fail in your aggression. And they have a couple of ringers in TE and Dez Bryant. And, obviously, they can run. Basically, you got to contain and outscore, the pattern the so far.

The pressure is not the problem.

The D-line has gotten some descent pressure, but every freakin’ time #87 is wide open, the damn tight end is what is killing us. They need to have someone on him constantly.

texas : 336 yds of offense in the first half

texas needs to cover their fucking kicks/punts better and stop giving them great field position…. then they can blow this team out, until then… osu willl play tight when they only have to travel 50 yds for a td

I already gave mine. OSU can’t get anything inside, even when the linebackers aren’t there. Spread Muck and Kindle out to stop the off-tackle runs, and let Norton/Bobino spy or cover the flats, depending on the down.

Their D is making Texas work for it too. Lot's of third downs.
