After watching the film, you can attribute OK ST run game to Dline and Safety’s.

Jay Hill kind of called out the free safety play in his recent coordinator's

Strong safety

which is not Tanner Wall.

I wonder if Faletau Satuala can be used here against UCF...

Satuala played a lot more this past game than he has previously

He was a Utah gimme before Jay Hill swoopped in last minute.

He specifically missed a tackle on one TD

So did Prassas. I was surprised that they each played entire drives at a time. Should be good for long term depth but

Trevor Matich essentially said the same thing - lots of abandoning posts.

I don’t blame him. But he does need to tighten up his rotation.

Wall’s been great, including tackling

You don’t know if the LB was supposed to slide outside on contain.

I would’ve loved to see Esera in there with Kelly and Glasker.

Could be a reason why they couldn’t get there.. maybe the extremely veteran OL

That’s true. Don’t know the calls. Just happened a lot.

Frankfromtheballpark

12:34pm

Yeah I assumed from watching that the plan was to take RB first and LB get outside for QB contain, which makes sense

I saw at least two or three where I assumed this was the case.

Why wasnt it corrected in-game?

RE: Why wasnt it corrected in-game?

12:21pm

Honest question. Is that the kind of thing they can see and correct in-game?

Shawarma

2:06pm

My guess is that adjustments were made. Maybe OK St countered or maybe players

UMWolverine

I think the defense was never fully working together as a unit for most of the game...

Coug

Problem is we don't know who had the QB assignments - can't blame it on the D-Line unless we know the D-Line had

And yet didn't Gordon also destroy us in the run game?

RGGeemer

12:32pm

Gordon had a 50 yard TD run because of 2 missed tackles.

Frankfromtheballpark

12:37pm

Fair point

RGGeemer

12:38pm

He also was hurt a lot of the game which hurt his overall numbers

RGGeemer

12:39pm

That’s true too. I was shocked he came back in after the second injury.

Frankfromtheballpark

12:43pm

To be fair to Batty, he was positioned to be the crash down guy. LB then covers

MajorZeus

12:33pm

To be honest, there was NO edge contain when the DEs crashed in tight. None

Lifi

Hans didn’t call out by name but said one LB was out of position in multiple run plays gone wrong. I’m guessing it was

I guess I assumed it was Batty, because it didn't look at all like a LB was in

Gordon + intentionally running the QB (which was new) + their very seasoned OL.

1:10pm

Gundy thinks we have the "mature" team but he has the mature team!

2:58pm

As I said above, a big chunk of Gordon’s yards are off one 50 yard TD run.

Frankfromtheballpark

The fact Batty kept doing it every single play makes me think a linebacker or sa

BYUBuckeyeGoCougs

1:08pm

Yes, it was odd he kept doing it. I thought he got home on the RBs though.

Frankfromtheballpark

1:23pm

Batty had two tackles the entire game and zero tackles for loss. He never got to

Batty did hit the RB who slowed down and didn't have the ball a few times as the

BYUBuckeyeGoCougs

Nobody corrected it though, and thats the problem

cougaman

This is a CONSISTENT issue with Batty trying to do much and collapsing down

texaskevin

1:34pm

In Batty's defense, his assignment was most likely to attack the running back on

hoydis

1:56pm

maybe, but he wasn't getting to the RB so I don't like the scheme if that was it

BYUBuckeyeGoCougs

2:04pm

If we allow running backs like Ollie Gordon to get to the second level

texaskevin

2:25pm

I thought Taggart got held on Gordon’s first run

royal_blue

Wall’s tackling was really really bad. Can’t believe Jay left him in

Great pick return, though

I love how everyone assumes Batty or something else. Look Jay Hill knows exactl
