Michigan v Ohio State
- Thread starter Alum-Ni
- Start date
Can u link that stat
for the season OSUs run/pass percentage is 51.6% pass 48.4% run (does not include todays game)
if they pass 70%+ on first down they must run a hell of a lot the other downs
Because you have an active board. I have followed you guys all year. I rarely speak of things Nebraska. I do speak of big10 and I didn’t start this thread.
Why? Do you mind?
Go Blue!
congrats, I was thinking michigan would be waiting in the woods, while the ohio state media love fest had osu vs georgia for it all.
Did you even watch the game. OSU tried to run the ball and Michigan kept stuffing the run. OSU didn't really give up on the run until late in the game when they were running out of time and possessions. Michigan's D line and linebackers controlled what OSU could do. OSU's best chance to win that game was chunk plays in the passing game. Michigan dominated in the trenches.
He didn't coach scared because they were ripping off 5 to 8 yards on virtually every running play. Michigan's O line was dominating. If we had an O line like that I suspect that Frost would line up and run it too.

All I took from it is that Ohio State was somewhat predictable on first down. If Ohio State can run the ball then they do run the ball. I think they ran on three straight plays to start the third quarter, they got stuffed and never seemed to rely on it from then on..
It wasn't the OSU offense that was the problem this year. Their defense stunk it up all year and it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Day is going to let 2 or 3 defensive coaches go
Definitely, they weren't the issue. In this game I didn't see them recovering by having to force the passing game. Michigan dominated them on the lines and that was rhe biggest difference in the game. Ohio State didn't stand a chance if they didn't throw the ball.
And you'll note that Jim doesn't call plays. The BIG thing being overlooked and I said it ever since I first saw the kid play was that Harbaugh FINALLY has his QB. They've always had excellent talent all over the field but QB has been a problem for him. This kid now can put a pass in a shoe box down a sideline. Couple that with their O line and you've got something.
Maybe there is some value to retaining the head coach while churning his assistants?
Don't expect anything to back his claim. I have asked for proof and nothing. He just like to make stupid statements that he thinks make him appear to be smart. Ask him about blocking techniques.
Moronic post. Yeah, I didn't watch a game that I was literally posting about and my post was also about their whole season, not just one game.
That O line was very impressive today. They drive, locked up and kept driving some more. Until Nebraska can do that, nothing else is going to matter much.
You can get the first down data by watching the Joe Klatt weekly stuff he does. Go and find it yourself.
Alabama is not that great this year. 1 point win against Florida, 6 point win against lsu, loss to a backup qb
They're still a top team and would be a difficult game for pretty much every team in the country. Alabama is more impressive than you give them credit for.
Not top ten recruiting classes most years. I think we have averaged something like top 14th overall. Not going to catch Ohio State (averaging about 3rd) long term being that far behind.
At least today we had a lot of four stars coming for a visit.
UGA’s defense is absolutely filthy. But agree regarding bama, better get ‘em now.
Actually, this has been one strange CF season. Totally unpredictable. The four teams that have dominated the playoffs over the last few years - Alabama, Clemson, OSU and Oklahoma - could all be shut out this year especially if Georgia beats Alabama as expected. In fact, Alabama, Clemson, OSU and Oklahoma were all rated in most of the top 5 preseason polls.
Michigan scored a TD on every second half possession (except the kneel down) primarily running the ball. They were never in a 3rd down the entire second half
I bet our coaches think it would have been better for Michigan to sling it all over the yard in the second half, since their run game was working.
Gets kind of boring running the rock when it's pushed you to a two score lead. Gotta keep it new and fresh minute to minute to keep things exciting.
