How Much More Wrong Could I Have Been?

I take back 99.999999% of what I wrote in an earlier post about the Ohio St. Buckeye's 2008 Football Season. The only part that had a splinter of truth was the part about whether the defense will be able to adjust to good offenses like they could NOT in the past two BCS title games. I stated that if they couldn't in the USC game they would be in trouble.

"if the same old defense comes out and lays and egg despite the abundance of talent and cannot seem to make the in-game adjustments that former coordinator Mark Dantonio would flourish with when he was here, the game will get out of hand and USC will pull away in the second half winning by 10 or more. This will determine the season." (Huey, www.hueyistheone.blogspot.com)

The season is already determined. It will be a failure.

I loved Jim Heacock as the defensive line coach but ever since he became the defensive coordinator we have been slaughtered by spread offenses. You would think he would have figured it out by now but he hasn't. This defense is supposedly loaded with talent and I believe it is. But it cannot seem to stop spread offeenses at all. Florida and LSU and Illinois killed us. It looked like the players were always in the wrong place at the wrong time. That is coaching. They will not let go of this zone style defense and it is killing us.

Ohio University, with all do respect (many friends and relatives attended that fine school and I have had many good times there over the years myself), is a middle of the road MAC team. They should not hang with a supposed National Title contender in their (OSU's) own house!!!! Granted, the Bobcat offense only had one scoring drive. The other touchdown came on a turnover by the Buckeye offense in their own endzone, but it was a backup QB!!! Of a middle of the pack MAC team!!!!! They kept converting third down after third down. If it wasn't for the 5 turnovers that were mistakes on OU's part more than good plays by OSU, the game would have been a blowout. If I have to watch another pathetic attempt at a tackle by our defenders I will personally walk to that stadium and light a fire under their meathead asses myself. Like Lou Holtz said, read the fine print on your scholarship son! (I really don't know what that meant but it sounded good when he said it) What is this defense going to do against the likes of USC or even the weak Big Ten schools? Or Troy?!

It will be ugly.

The offesne didn't look much better. The front line was dominated by smaller, less skilled players from OU. They were pushed around. THey had the game taken to them instead of taking it to the defense. Maurice Wells is just horrible. He runs TO tackles. God forbid he breaks one every now and then. When Boom Herron was starting to get on a roll he goes to the bench. Boeckman STILL holds onto the ball for too long, ala Charlie Frye. The WRs missed balls that hit them in the hands and the passion was nonexistent.

We will get shutout.

Even the kicker got in on the action. Pretorious missed a PAT for crying out loud! What the????????

Heacock is in my doghouse. He needs to go! maybe I have been wrong about Tressel. Maybe he isn't as good as I thought. Maybe the whole country is right. Maybe the Buckeyes ARE overrated and weak.

Whatever the case. We are in big trouble and we will get blown out next week. THe college football fans around the country are going to get what they have wanted for so long. The supposed almost dynasty of Ohio State football will come to an end. Opponents have found the solution to beat OSU. The spread offense. We will becaome the laughing stock of college football and a joke around the country. We won't be able to recruit. Michigan will be ready with their WVA spread offense that was pretty damn awesome these past years under Hot Rod Rodriquez and we will lose that game for a decade straight if not more.

GOOD NIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
