Ohio, the product eventually coming to AA plays this weekend
All, I want everyone to remember how much talent has been missing from Ohio's roster up until now. We shall see the team coming to the Big House starting this week. Remember how much worse our running attack was a year ago with out Molk. They get Mike Adams back along with a whole bundle of quality players against the Huskers.
The story is still out on the bucks

What exactly are you talking about?
Edit: Never mind. I guess I understand now. Just a slightly oddly worded post. That game will be pretty boring. Like a 3-0 final boring.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
I agree. Users shouldn't have to read several comments in order to figure out what the thread is supposed to be about! That said, once understood, it is a good point.
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:28 PM ^
From what I read it seemed straight forward. TSIO will have its full roster starting next week and we shouldn't judge what we have seen to this point as heavily as what we will see going forward.

more like Jacory Harris than Troy Smith (i.e. he's hit and miss, when he's on he's good, and when he's off he's god-awful)
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
Too early to tell. Smith didn't play until mid-way through his RS Soph season.
<br>
<br>Smith & Pryor were throwing to NFL level players: Holmes, Ginn, Gonzales, Robiske,, Hartline, Sanzenbacher. Miller is throwing to 2 true freshman and a RS freshman, who was a HS QB.
<br>
<br>Don't overlook the fact that Miller has Jim Bollman as his OC and those guys had The Vest. I wouldn't trust Bollman to run Ann Arbor Pioneer's JV offense.

Stocked with talent around him, but unfortunately, every play went through him.
When he was playing in 1999 & 2000, my worry was that somehow the Ohio State athletes would get the ball independently from Bello.
October 2nd, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
It was a remarkable bit of good fortune for OSU (and bad fortune for us) that Bellisari decided to drink and drive in November 2001. Krenzel stepped in, cut down on the brutal mistakes, and they won. Grrr.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
As much as I keep telling myself this, I also remind myself that Pryor is NOT one of the players coming back. It makes me feel a lot better.

Yes, they will be better. But their RB's haven't been the problem. They've been effective when given chances, but everyone is putting 8 or 9 guys in the box, and not even "Boom" Herron is good enough to be effective against that. They get Adams back, but the rest of their line, including Brewster, has just been bad, and he won't change the rest of the guys play. Posey coming back helps alot, but the rest of their WRs still have sucked quite honestly, and until they can complete a forward pass, it won't matter who's playing WR.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:18 PM ^
I agree.
Herron is not that much of an upgrade over Hall/Hyde. Adams is good but you need all 5 of your OL to work together to field an efficient unit and I'm not sure OSU can do that. Posey is probably the guy who could make the biggest impact but he will need the QB's to actually, you know, get him the ball to really do anything.
October 2nd, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
Of the four, Mike Adams will have the most impact / fill a biggest hole.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:13 PM ^
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:20 PM ^
It's too bad that they coulnd't rip Sparty's heart out with an onside kick and a quick miracle score.
But making Nebraska 0-2 to start the B1G Legends would be nice.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:18 PM ^
Does a bundle equal two? Because its just two others, in addition to the OLineman
Its the big question, though how these guys alter the dynamic going on
But if Posey cant jumpstart the passing game, then what we're seeing is what we're getting. That offensive line was terrible. The one guy coming back cant change all that. Without Molk, MIch's offensive line just wasnt as effective, not ass terrible like we're seeing out of OSU
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:23 PM ^
it's a big mental factor as well as physical talent. long way to go before then, that's for sure.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:26 PM ^
will not beat Nebraska in Lincoln this weekend.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:50 PM ^
It will be interesting to see if they can exploit an exposed Nebraska defense just enough to win. Both teams are frustrated - I may just have to watch that game next week, unless it is on at the same as ours.
October 2nd, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
Nebraska's defensive issues seemed to be largely in the secondary, which OSU hardly seems equipped to exploit, even with Posey.
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:08 PM ^
I don't see how Mike Adams is suddenly going to make them have a QB, but ok.
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:15 PM ^
Bollman is OSU's GERG, only worse.
October 2nd, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^
Let's not forget GERG always had his beautiful hair to fall back on...and stuffed animals!
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
Having Ohio play Nebraska this year is definitely a bonus for Michigan. I'm sure the coaching staff will be watching that game closely, to see how Ohio defends Taylor Martinez.
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:37 PM ^
This post is an oddly assembled jumble of words. I wish negs counted :(
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
....to make sure I understood it. When I saw the title for the first time, I immediately racked my brain to think about anything I might have ordered this week that was coming from Ohio.
October 2nd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
I'm sorry, but anyone that watched that game yesterday would know that Ohio is far from being saved by 4 players. While the defense is solid, the offense is simply atrocious.
October 2nd, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
If OSU comes to the Big House this weekend they have bigger problems than their pathetic offense.
October 2nd, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
couldn't even make any other BIG team. They couldn't even play for IU or Minn.
