Before I deleted the recording I took a look at the last 2-3 minutes of the game. On that fateful 3rd won debacle with Daniels, leaving aside that Shaw put him in there, I was shocked that they ran that type of play i.e. the read option. That slowed the play too much. Watching the play develop. Daniels should have just taken the sanp and sprinted to his left and had Filkins as a blocker. Also, Yourosek, puts a block on his man and then releases as if he were to be going out for a pass. WTF? It was his man that tackled Daniels for a loss. If Daniels just took off, Filkins and Yurosek blocked, it was a good chance he picks up the first down. Did Yurosek make a mistake or was it just a stupid paly design?
Also, on the play that OSU scored and cost us the game, everybody was correct on their criticisms of both Bonner and Fields. But I notices something else weird. Bailey (whom I really like) is seen not rushing the passer at all. Instead he just stands several yards from the LOS in the middle of the field and does essentially nothing. There was an OSU player as a possible check down to Bailey's left, but Bailey is nowhere near him and we have another defender closer to the OSU guy, so I don't know what Bailey was doing. He had a clear path to the QB (OL was already tied up) and at minimum could have applied enough pressure to force an errant pass if not get a sack.
We have mental breakdowns and apparently the guys aren't being coached up.
