Comments on: Denard Robinson’s 67-Yard Touchdown Run Against Ohio State Was Pretty Special

Best thing I saw this year was the OSU offensive line that can once again take the top shelf OL recruits and deliver a team than can pound on opponents. When the speed is addeed to attack the perimeter it can only help the offense. The special teams went from a post-Sweater atrocity (thanks Dick Tressel for phoning it 2011 in) to adaquate. That should continue to solidify.

We’ll lose Simon, Williams, Hankins and have to address that DL again. Sabino and Little Boren gone too. Props to Boren from going from FB to LB mid-year and playing so fucking well. OSU lifer. Luke Fickell took a lot of heat and is unpopular but helped the transition and was the DC on a 12-0 team. I did like a few added wrinkles (like moving Simon all over the line in the UW game) so we’ll see if the aggressive schemes continue. It wasn’t Silver Bullets yet.

But in the end, they took care of every game on the field. Plenty of better teams on paper fuck up a stupid loss here or there and the Buckeyes delivered where it mattered most.

Respect to a team that had no BCS game to play for but kept things dialed in.

Now Urban can go into recruiting and start crushing again.

True. Easy to see the real reasons he went to Ohio State. Not the transparent drivel he fed the media and Florida fans, but the fact that Ohio State is the easiest program to bring to national championship games now. The Big Ten is atrocious and OSU fans will be content with his “avoid any decent teams at all costs” non-conference scheduling philosophy. This was a mediocre OSU team too, and he ran the table with relative ease.

Amen brother. Offense needs a lot of work. Can’t wait for when they add more speed and execute at a higher degree. Need more kill.

A messy stat sheet but they took care of business and Urban served notice that we’re back. For the seniors they got 3 on-the-field wins vs. UM (and Nathan Williams got 4). There was a lot of negative noise around the program a year ago and a lot of hard work was rewarded. Now Urban can go into recruiting and start crushing again.

I feel bad for John Simon. he would’ve had a huge game today if healthy.

Meh. If he went against Lewan I seriously doubt it. Especially because Michigan refuses to run to his side of the field on short yardage. Absolutely mind-blowing. While he isn’t as good as Jake Long was, he was still the best offensive lineman on the field for either team.

That wasn’t OSU defense of old. That was Michigan play-calling from the Carr era. When your OC gets outschemed by Luke Fickell you know you are having a bad day.

I was so relieved when Denard wasn’t out there. I feel bad for John Simon. he would’ve had a huge game today if healthy.

Fortunately for Ohio State, the defense has played like the Buckeyes D of the mid-2000s in the 2nd half.

Absolutely amazing that the offensive game plan against Iowa showed more innovation than that abortion. Michigan is going to have a great defense most years, but as long as Borges is calling plays they are fucked.

Big ups for the OSU D in the 2nd half. Had the offense not shit the bed this is a 42-21 game. Great job by the Michigan D though.

Undefeated season, AND they’re spared the ignominy of losing by 35 in the National Championship! Meyer couldn’t have drawn it up any better.

OSU should be up big. Redzone offense has been horrible. Throw the fucking ball. Options to the outside.

Unfortunately for Ohio State, the offense has played like the Buckeyes O of the mid-2000s in the 2nd half.

Reading through these comments I have come to the conclusion that VladimirCrouton is pleased with Ohio State’s offensive coordination. I’d like to see the vitriol if they had actually lost a game this year.
