Spts1 6,888 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Our secondary has to show up in this game on defense. On offense we need to continue with a balance of the run and pass with more on the running game because our receivers are having a hard time getting seperation.

Someone other than Olave and Fields have to have a great game. Clemson will scheme to keep them contained. That is a good Clemson defense. Spts1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He needs to bail quicker instead of going through the whole progression on first and second down. On third down, Clemson most likely gonna mush rush him like they did Ian Book. Thats the down that's really gonna put pressure on the receivers to get open... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s not going through progressions. He’s making one read and when it’s not there he looks bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would venture to say you don’t even have a university degree...let alone from the Ohio State a university. You may have an associates degree in trolling where you barely passed, with a minor in being a turducken. You can act like you care QS much as you like but you are definition of fair weather.

tl;dr 9,794 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Clemson’s defense can be had. ND had chances, especially early on, and couldn’t cash in. Then they panicked. But Fields against good defenses has not been good in his career. Clemson still has a good defense. Clemson by 7-14, but hoping for the upset NashvilleFalcon01, BamaBirdLady and Macknsweetjones 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D.B.N. 5,367 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Pulling for Ohio state and fields but honestly no one is going to beat Alabama this year. Macknsweetjones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Standing in the pocket too long like Ryan IS the problem. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone about progressions. Its about moving that first down marker.

That’s embarrassing It's pretty sad. 2015: Michigan State lost 38-0 to Alabama 2016: Ohio State lost 31-0 to Clemson 2017: 2 loss Ohio State got bumped for 1 loss Alabama 2018: 1 loss Ohio State got bumped for 1 loss Oklahoma 2019: Ohio State lost 29-23 to Clemson And in the 2 years the Big 10 champ didn't make it, I don't think the results would have been much different. Ohio State would have lost in the first round (2017 to Clemson and 2018 to Alabama). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If his first option isn't there he struggles to find open receivers. That doesn't mean they aren't out there, but that he has a hard time finding them since he struggles with his progressions. That is what happens when you go up against better defenses like Northwestern. If he thinks that is hard go to the NFL and be a one read only qb and he will be a huge bust. Ryan Day's system is perfect for him because Fields does zero presnap reads and usually his 1st option is wide open since the level of competition is pretty poor game in and game out for OSU. When you have the most talent and it's not even close you can get away with playing qb that way in most games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This argument was made last season about Justin before he chewed up the Wisconsin defense. The entire year it was " wait till he faces a good defense." Wisconsin finished with the 10th ranked overall defense, 7th ranked passing defense, and Justin chewed them up for 299 yards passing and 3 touchdowns... The play below is a huge part of whats make quarterbacks like Justin, Zach Wilson, Russell Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Watson, etc. very good. Day has Fields roll to his left in redzone. The defense HAS to respect his running ability. Do they come up and leave coverage responsibility? Do they sit in coverage? Progression? Dual threat quarterbacks DICTATE the progression in a lot of situations. Macknsweetjones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our safeties and corners have been having miscommunication problems the entire season. The run defense is solid. Our linebackers, especially Pete Werner and Tuf Borland, are VERY solid. We should be able to contain Etienne. On offense, we may try to pass early and then settle into a solid run game with Sermon to force Clemson's safeties into the box so that we can then exploit them deep. Thats how I would approach it.

Werner Borland Well I’m with you this time! Let’s go Buckeyes!! Please shut me up Fields. Maybe it’s me, but Dabo and Lawrence give me major “fake church people” vibes. You know the type lol.
