Badger,

welp.....I found her and brought her in.....do I get a finder's fee?  

Interesting take on OSU v Georgia. 

I am not sure why you would think Stroud is supposed to be a good runner when the knock on him has always been that he was unwilling to run.

and in that game he actually averaged about 9 yards a carry, minus the four sacks he took.

and three of those sacks were by a blitzing defensive back or linebacker. Georgia learned early on that they could not get pressure on Stroud with just rushing four because Ohio State’s offensive line did substantially better than forecasted at blocking for him, and when they did get pressure he made them pay for it. How else do you throw for 350 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions?

Bennett on the other hand averaged -2.6 Per Carrie and he was only sacked a few times.

For those who read every bit of analysis and every narrative, the big surprise in this game was how well Ohio State did keeping George’s defensive line at bay.

Oh, I fully admit I haven't watched Stroud enough to really know his game.  I just said I thought he was supposed to be a good runner, not knowing whether that's really the case, or about his willingness to run.  

And good point on the blitzes.  I include those in the term "pass rush" so I should've clarified I'm not just talking about the front 7.  

Ohio State usually has a very good O-line, and to the point that's applicable, I expect them to pick up the blitzes and stunts that are feasible, and for Stroud to find a hot read when the line is overloaded.  However, that wasn't happening as the game wore on, and it surprised me.  

Thing is, on camera I usually can't see enough downfield to know what's happening.  Sometimes it can be a flaw in the play design a defense exploits, or it could be the QB not making the read fast enough, or other things.  What little I've seen from Ohio State lately, I thought it was a matter of time before they starting making UGA pay for teeing off like that.  

It just didn't happen consistently enough.  Too many negative plays down the stretch, seemed like.  Nevertheless, they almost pulled it off.  

I still feel bad for that kicker.  Those guys have a lonely, heavy job.  

Helllo.....I hear this is the place where the cool kids talk college football.

you are mistaken we're just cold - not cool but welcome back anyway.Since you left,the country really went to hell so pop in occasionally and see if we can get things turned around

Your observations are actually quite accurate. After Harrison left the game Georgia actually changed their defensive scheme because prior to that they were trying to cover him man and bracket for safety over the top.  Harrison/Stroud beat that quite a few times. But is created space for the other two WRs. 

In Q4- The Dawgs did a great job of getting pressure before Stroud could get separation from one of those other WRs. 

She is wrong about the Yankees

Ha!! So happy to see this is still the real OG board!  Missing a few, but nice to see you're all still around!
