As far as Dobbins' lack of carries, for once there is a legitimate answer. For most of the second half we were playing from WAY behind and had to throw the ball. Still, only six carries makes no sense.
well Urban said today that 6 carries is not enough, DUH.
but he also says Iowa took his option away forcing JT to run. in 6 of the last 7 losses for the Buckeyes the QB has ran the ball more than the NO1 RB option. if it's clear that the opposition is taking away the better runner, why has OSU no compensated for this yet?
I realize we were behind in the 2nd half as well, but if I remember correctly from my drunken stupor we stopped Iowa the first 2 drives, only down 14 points is not too much to totally abandon the run game.
