11W Roundtable: chaseabrown__ , Garrick_Hodge and AndyVance stop by to offer their thoughts as Ohio State prepares for tomorrow night's matchup with the Toledo Rockets.
Ohio State averaged a solid 6.5 yards per carry against Arkansas State after going for 4.9 against what I maybe wrongly assumed was a solid Notre Dame defense. Any concerns with the running game at this point? OSU saw a dozen of its 26 carries go for three yards or less versus the Red Wolves with five going for negative yardage. Will the Buckeyes be able to run the ball consistently against good teams? Why or why not?I've never really liked the statistic of yards per carry.
These first two games feel to me like Ryan Day trying to establish the bona fides of his passing game given the departure of all that first-round receiver talent to the NFL. And with the emergence of Marvin"Route Man Marv” Harrison Jr., and to a lesser extent of Emeka Egbuka, I think he’s gone a long way toward accomplishing that goal.
I’m not hitting the panic button yet, primarily because there are damn few quarterbacks in the Big Ten who give me any qualms about them picking apart this defense when it fully hits its stride.I think Ohio State's secondary has looked good in the first two weeks. The yards per attempt –like the yards per carry statistic – is another one of those things that can be skewed by a few plays. Outside of the misstep from Josh Proctor against Notre Dame allowing Lorenzo Styles Jr.
The one thing I think is worth watching, however , is how the diffusion of talent via the transfer portal allows teams like Marshall, Appalachian State, and even Arkansas State to punch above their weight against Power Five teams in the coming years. I think that’s very much a storyline worth paying attention to as time marches on, because that could be part of the story with regard to upsets like we saw last week.
