UM 8-3 0SU 11-0
AN NFL GUY

WHAT I’D LIKE TO SEE
For the first time all year I am calling out the OSU coaching stuff. The first drive against Wisconsin was brilliant. Especially the Stoneburner fake screen-block pass that had touchdown written all over it. We need to continue this aggression throughout the entire game, though. I think this young team is ready to grow up. Just in time for 2013. The 3 keys I have written about the last couple of weeks seem to be improving. 1- Our starts have been better. 2- Our execution has been better. 3- Our Defense has been better and not giving up big points at the end of games. Miller is still far from a good passing QB. He has a good enough arm and his mechanics are improved, but he still has a long way to go reading defenses. But he’s come far enough, imo, to handle more hurry up and passing spread, which will loosen the defense for the spread option. And we need to continue to go deep, both down the seams and sidelines, to keep the defense honest. If I see what I saw the first drive against Wisconsin, but for the WHOLE game, I will be a happy camper and so will the rest of Buckeye Nation! .PREDICTION
Hoke is a good Head Coach in many ways and should land his coveted NFL job in the near future, but he’s no match for the sheer power behind the Power Spread. As long as we are not too excited and execute as we have been the last 2 games this should be a Buckeye win and the start of a new Buckeye run.
Sorry Brady
