Is is just me or did the Illinois offense look eerily similar to BGSU!? Great job for Illinois! Jeez, if we had a "D", we would be so much better.

Exactly what I was thinking the entire game. I was just commenting to my father that Tressel's team doesn't really seem to match up well against a spread/option offense with a dual-threat QB. I just think it's hard for Tressel's style of offense to keep up. Yes, OSU's offense is always good, but it isn't as high octane as a lot of other team's. It is something that I think is going to hurt OSU going forward as the spread takes root throughout college football. At the same time, though, there is a reason why there are very few Josh Harris,' Chirs Leaks,' and Juice Williams.' It is rare to find a super athlete that also has a QB's mentality. My word is it fun to watch, though.BGSU Falconz wrote:They looked eerily similar to the Josh Harris lead teams, but not our current squad.
Thats what I am saying.. The intent was to focus on the run, but it opened up the passing game. illinois is not a great passing team so OSU allowed for it to be open. Illinois, yesterday, happened to have a good enough of a passing day to keep the run open as well. They were very balanced yesterday and if you can play that balanced that well, it is hard to lose.factman wrote:If they focused on the run, it sure didn't look like they were very successful!!!!!
