THE BIG 10 THREAD

[Tharvot]

buckeyes better figure out a reliable offensive strategy or the gap b/t them and the real contenders (nationally and in conference) will only grow.

 

[osubuckeye89]

Not the biggest deal since DPJ is better but doesn't know the playbook as well. The QB is trash and that's a bigger issue.

Is Children of O'Korn so bad that he's not good enough to put Speight on the pine?

As mediocre and inconsistent as our offense has looked, I think Michigan's is worse at the moment.

O'Korn has no pocket awareness. He looks like a young David Carr out there. Peters is more talented then both of them but seems like a moron.

If Dobbins gets the ball in his hands 23-25 times a game, we will be competitive vs. anyone we play, if not downright dominant. He's a truly special game-changer, moreso than anyone else right now with Barrett under center.

That's what they need to do. Run Dobbins into the ground.

Work in some screens and quick hitters like they did this past week. I think the pass offense can at least produce a little doing that. It's when they try going more complex that they look terrible trying to throw the ball.

He really has impressed. But we still have to have some balance or the better teams will stuff us like they have been.

More than anything else, we need to develop SOME kind of outside threat and deep threat or teams will do what they've been doing to us for a few years: stack the box heavy during running situations and drop back in zone during passing.

Is it wrong that I hate some of the posters in our fanbase?

I'd be worried about myself if I didn't hate a bunch of Buckeye fans that I only know from online interactions.

Michigan is, regrettably (for Michigan fans), in the same situation.

This might be your starter next season as a true freshman.

Joe Milton, Olympia, Pro-Style Quarterback

Rutgers at Nebraska.

This is the Pillow Fight of the Week.

Battle for last place.

If Nebraska loses, it is possible for Nebraska to run the table the wrong way, 1-11.

To paraphrase TexasExes, "that is full on Bukkakeed."

Eichorst is fired after the Rutgers loss.
Riley is fired before the last game of the season.

He probably would have the most upside too. Has a rocket arm. I bet he can come in and work as much of the playbook as the three clowns on the roster now.

My only criticism from the highlights is it didn't really demonstrate his mobility or what he does if the play breaks down and his throwing motion is long. Other than that, he does posses a strong arm, very tall and gets the ball out quick.

With that defense and the horses on offense if he turns out to be a solid QB there's no reason Michigan cant't be in the BIG championship game and fighting for a playoff spot IMO.

Let's not forget true Freshman Dylan McCaffrey. I heard he looked quite good in camp, but apparently Harbaugh wants him to redshirt this season. The McCaffrey family sure possesses top genetics.

Could freshman Dylan McCaffrey scramble Michigan's QB competition?

Dylan also needs to gain around 35 pounds.

He's a full on pocket passer. Compares more to Luck than he does to Cam Newton.

I find it odd that Cam is the scrambler since he ran an identical 40 time to Luck. I guess Luck is just really good as a pockett passer so he sticks to it.

Either way, I believe as long as he has good pocket presence and makes good decisions then he will do just fine. Not sure if he has the aptitude to learn the system fast enough to win the starting job in his first season but his natural ability will make him a threat at the very least.

Cam actually doesn't run as much anymore. Most guys understand that they need to work the pocket to prolong their careers. Even Vick knew it.

Precisely, I fear RW's career will be curtailed because he's the only person on the team and has to run to win games sometimes. Dude ran three straight times in the end of the game just to beat the 49ers last week.

Pillow fight implies co-eds, so I'll allow it
