Statistically….

[ClassOf02]

We just went toe to toe with Ohio State.

First downs: RU 22, OSU 15
TOP: RU 35:36, OSU 24:24
Total yards: RU 361, OSU 328
Sacks: 1 each
INTs: 1 each
Punts: 4 each

OSU scored TDs, we scored FGs

Pick 6 early in Q3 was massive for OSU

Fair to question our red zone play calling, but bottom line is OSU has a surplus of high talent players who make plays and we have severe limitations in the passing game. That has to handcuff what we feel comfortable doing. We are a top half B1G team capable of 2 more wins this year…and that’s with a very suspect passing game.

Disappointed given the opportunity we had today, but hard to deny the trend line is significantly up for this program.

The pick-6 was the game changer.

I think the fair expectation for year 4 of GS was:

1) Bowl- check
2) Contend w the "big boys"- check
3) Not get blown out- and really if you watched UM or tOSU you know the game turned on one play

2 of the 3 pick 6s this year have been very fluky. The one against Wisconsin was an awful throw. However, all 3 significantly changed the outcome of the score.

Michigan game likely is a 1-2 score game without it.
Wisconsin game may have been a win, feel Ohio State May have been a close (3-5 point) loss.

I guess you could say it was a statistical victory, which makes this loss all the more frustrating.

We lost by 19 but the pick 6 was a 10-point swing, and their last TD was like an empty-net score after we pulled the goalie.

A winnable game that we were just not ready to win, yet.

 

[ashokan]

The pick 6 was a big deal because RU (typically) left 8 points off with two FGs instead of TDs

Why can't Mongo run on goal or go for a crummy 3 yd pass instead of 185lb Dremel?
I like Dremel but he's not Sanu in RZ
