It tried. It stalled out inside the 20 and it couldn't run, but it tried.

There were a few holds that were incredibly obvious that weren't called. One involving Peppers flailing his arms while being held. No call...

...why has college football decided that holding at the o-line on run plays should only rarely be called?
They sometimes will call holding on pass protection.
But on running plays, a hold call near the line of scrimage is now a very rare thing. Some of the holds this week were really easy to see, yet were not called.
If this is the way holding is going to be called, that is a huge advantage for the OSU style of running.
Holding has becoome like travaling in the NBA--they won't call even the obvious cases.

Walking back to car, I decided to check the box score -
As for Rudock, the 19 for 32 and 263 yards translates to 13.8 yards per completion and 8.2 yards per attempt. I sort of get the feeling that the 1 TD - if we make a few more of those deep throws - is more TDs, but you can't play it again.
The ground game, yeah, it will be interesting to see how this gets addressed - 25 carries for all of 57 yards, or 2.3 yards per carry. We really needed to get this part of the game going and....well....

It was decent against the weaker teams but completey struggled against good defenses. They showed the stat on TV that against Utah, MSU and PSU the UM running game was almost none existent - you can add OSU to that list.

However-The line was not so good run blocking...
Untimely Penalties and poor field position also played into the offensive struggles.

The run game obviously struggled, but the way the defense was performing didn't help the offensive play calling. We were moving the ball well, making big plays when we needed. The biggest thing I wish we would have done differently is avoid the cuteness with the red zone playcalling, we should have targeted Butt, Darboh, or Chesson.. and I think we out thought ourselves there. The punt block penalty and lack of touchdowns in the red zone changed the momentum of the game.

Of course no way the loss is on the O. Rudock did the best he could today.
We desperately need a RB. And better players at OL.
November 28th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
So Cole to Center next year, right? Yeesh, he got abused more than a few times today. Not even including when he got put in at RT against Bosa... WTF were they thinking there?
Edit: This is assuming Newsome is functional at LT next year of course.

We were torching them in the air with short to medium routes but it seems we got away from that in the 2nd half.

Our Oline is bad at run blocking. Our backs would be ok if the line could block but they are not elite backs. We need to get more talent at both of those areas.
November 28th, 2015 at 11:25 PM ^
Think about all of the mismatches and personnel deficiencies we were trying to account for today. Doubling Bosa. Deploying Peppers as a lead back because we don't have one. Playing Perry extensively because there isn't another playable WR after Chesson and Darboh. Throwing constantly because the OL can't run block. And throwing mostly short because the receivers can't get separation.
Talent-wise, we have a long, long way to go.
