Tressel Treat
Several quick impressions from the Ohio State -v- New Mexico State game Saturday.
Domination, as expected
First downs for Ohio State- 24; first downs for New Mexico State- 2. That’s about all you need to know from Saturday. The Buckeyes exploded for 559 yards of total offense while holding a dismal NMSU team to 62. As expected, the game wasn’t competitive, and that’s a good sign considering Ohio State has played down to their competition in similar games of the past.
Tresselball, we have a problem
We’ve got a problem at kicker, or to be more specific, we’ve got a bigger problem at kicker. Aaron Pettrey was already having a shaky year nailing the long balls but missing on the short ones. Pettrey left the game with what is being described as a sprained knee (rumors of an acl tear though), and the 3rd stringer Devin Barclay struggled pretty badly in his place. I would expect Pettrey to at least miss next week which means we’ll need Ben Buchanan to get healthy in a hurry.
Looks like we’ve got a quarterback controversy on our hands, and it’s not Joe Bauserman
At this point in the season, we know what Terrelle Pryor brings to the table- athleticism, brilliance at times, questionable decision making, and plenty of balls that never should be thrown. What we didn’t know is that Drew Brees is playing Wide Receiver for the Buckeyes.
The touchdown throw from Devier Posey on a reverse now stands as the best touchdown pass of the season for the Buckeyes. Not only did Posey throw a perfect strike 30 yards down the field to the end zone, but the throw was to his second read. That’s right, a receiver going through progressions on a reverse, making the right read and delivering a bomb. The play was designed to go to Terrelle Pryor but he since he was covered, Posey threw to Sanzenbacher in the end zone. Freaking brilliant Devier. I sure hope we see that again this year, and with the same level of execution.
Trick plays against a patsy- showing the other team up?
Not at all. The onside kick and the reverse/wide receiver pass and a few other things shown by the Buckeyes are for our future opponents. An opponent like New Mexico State presents the perfect opportunity to get some of these plays on film, have some success with them, and ensure future opponents have to spend time in practice working on those plays- even if the Buckeyes never run them again. That’s less time our opponents will have to spend on our base packages which can only help our chances of winning. Well done Tress.
Positive spin
Ohio State did an awful lot of positive things Saturday against New Mexico State- forced turnovers, pressured the quarterback, opened up huge rushing lanes, converted 3rd downs, limited penalties. All in all a good night. Unfortunately the problems are still there and could spell trouble next week- inconsistent run game, inconsistent special teams and sporadic passing.
More to come on Monday.
