McCurry Getting Meaningful Snaps - Anything to Glean?

JH thinks maybe random things will "trick" the opposing defense. Like running on 1st down every damn time or even on most 2nd and longs. Because maybe that will be the one time the defense doesn't expect it.

My take away? How the hell are you going to recruit elite skill players when you land the #1 WR (DPJ) and have him sitting on the bench in favor of Jake McCurry? 

It means we might be seeing a WR transfer. In general I expect a decent amount of non grad transfers, given the amount of kids we are taking for 2019.

I don't believe this to be true, but here's this:

Josh Metellus (and maybe others) said coming into fall practice that Jake McCurry had been the best WR on the team during practices.

The personnel usage on both sides of the ball was one of the most inexplicable parts of the game. The other was the lack of adjustments or creativity. If they want to run the O they’ve been running at least do it with your best players. 

He is a ahead of Peters for QB?

mentioned this in my Player Usage board post.  Using McCurry in this game at all is downright criminal.  On one meaningful third down the WR set was McCurry, Martin, and Bell.

Was that seriously our WR trio on a 3rd down play?

There were a bunch of head scratchers over the weekend.  Milton being put in after Peters lead a TD drive. McCurry playing ahead of established players.  Wilson getting runs when Karan and Evans were getting it done and more of a breakaway threat.  Michigan running conservative 1st down plays down two scores in second half setting up 2nd and long. Michigan without almost any mis-direction plays that worked for Maryland, Nebraska and Minnesota.  The list is pretty long on offense. Again, all coaching decisions.  The players were out there playing their hearts out. Like many of you, I thought Michigan coaching staff had some real good play calls ready for OSU and quite honestly, didn't see much out there that was different from previous 6 games.

Yes the moon is the sun and the sun is the moon!!!

I saw and was wondering about this too. But the issues on offense weren’t the play calling or the personnel: it was the matchup in the trenches. The O line didn’t get as badly manhandled as the D front 7, but they lost their matchup pretty badly also. When line is protecting and making holes, every call and every RB and QB look brilliant. When not, the coaches are idiots who put the wrong players in to make the wrong plays

I'm sure McCurry is an awesome kid, but the reason he played at the times he did is that our offensive coaches lost their minds.  There is no logic to it, and it incrementally deepens my hopelessness for future OSU games.
