What was witnessed was the test of OSU offense w/o suspended TE Marcel Frost.
OSU messed up bad near goal line twice COUPLED with two missed field goals---20 points more could have been scored.
OSU's offensive line has looked better only because LESS WAS BEING ASKED OF THEM...unlike former QB Stanley Jackson...
Troy Smith can throw...OSU always had receivers w/good hands...
...key for Texas game....
Was OSU able to force defense to provide interior help inside at expense of single coverage on wide-outs?
Answer: No!!!
Northern Illinois a qualitively better team than Longhorns foe, N. Texas(would be "touchdown dogs" against Minny, Purdue, Mich St., Wisconsin)
OSU got speed w/ N. Ill and performed EXCEPT WHEN IT CAME to punching ball across goal line....
OSU Defense did not perform well enough in trenches and in containment to prevent 5'7'' Garret Wolfe from shredding them for big yards.
Bucks D will now face multiple Longhorns backs with Wolfe's abilities and pulling O-linemen with speed.
Not a reco- bet on Longhorns...but no bet on bucks either...lots of good game film...lots of players involved in game for bucks...good coaching staff at OSU...
...but an imperial Rome cannot be built in a week.
NOTE: Troy Smith did not take to his feet in this game...which was part of my thesis for forcing NIU defense to provide interior help...good backs...question mark @ TE...Smith's legs.
