Its really a gigantic challenge. Stopping the run, whilst remembering they are allowed to throw the ball too.
Having just played Stanford could help us some as we tamed the Stanford rushing attack to nearly nothing. Ohio State comes off the bus rushing the ball.
Only problem was we made Hogan look like a future first rounder. We completely forget they had a tight end on their team and a couple of wide outs.
Those two OSU QB's are certainly no better throwers than Kevin Hogan. Matter of fact it could be said they are both pretty lousy passers.
But if we sell out stopping the run as we did against Stanford, we can't forget about covering receivers. Otherwise those two OSU who are pretty bad throwing the ball...even they will look world class.
OSU has not faced an offense as athletic as ours.
We have not seen a pass rusher like Bosa. I doubt they keep him away from Stanley all game. Matter of fact I'm sure he is lobbying to play on Stanley the whole game. That will be a huge battle within the game. Our tackles on Bosa.
Our d line has to be very active and disruptive. They did a good job against the run vs. Stanford but took passing plays off ....except for one face mask that helped seal their fate.
Elliot might be the toughest to tackle running back ND has faced. I fear our terrible tackling will allow Elliot to have one of those record type Fiesta days.
We will score points as usual but can we get stops on third down will be the deciding factor.
We shall see
