Fun with H1N1

That’s right I am back. I do apologize for not blogging the past few days but I had H1N1 and didn’t leave my house for days. As for my feeling on H1N1, I have had worse flu’s but not by much. My advice try not to make out with people that have flu symptoms.

Now to get into the heart of my blog, the football Buckeyes. Wow did they look bad on Saturday, and it wasn’t just the offense the defense looked almost as bad. Why did the defensive coordinators go away from the blitzing, run around with your hair on fire scheme? Our defense was striking fear into the heart of the opposing teams, so to go fall back into soft zones didn’t make sense. I get that the Buckeyes are going to get the opposing team’s best game but Purdue? Really? In short our defense was not flying to the ball and did play with reckless abandon.

Terrell Pryor did manage to play with reckless abandon but that is not what you want from your Sophomore Quarterback. Please I really don’t want to hear about how he is young, so is Barkley at USC. Remind me, was it Sophomore Sam Bradford that won the Heisman? And what year did Tebow win his Heisman? Ok so there goes your he is a young Quarterback. My biggest problem with him is that he is still indecisive. Everytime he drops back in the pocket it looks like he is thinking “Where was Coach telling me to throw the ball?”. The major problem seems to be is he still thinks that his athletic abilities are enough to get him by. It doesn’t work like that in major college football, everyone is an athletic freak, you have to out work and out study people.

My other major problem with this team is the offensive play calling. It is not that it is boring, I am actually fine with that. My problem comes from the fact that they don’t use Pryor the way they should. If he is the next “Vince Young” why do I not see more of the zone read that helped lead Texas to a BCS title? It is not this coaching staffs job to get Pryor ready for the NFL and turn him into pocket passer, it is their job to win football games now. If you don’t think that you can run the zone read because of the offensive line, I understand that and if that is the case it’s time to see what Bauserman can do. Terrell has not developed the way you wanted him to so you have to either switch your offense to fit his skill or switch personal to fit your system. It’s broke and it’s time to fix it.

In other college football news, last weekend was full of great games. Texas vs. Oklahoma wasn’t a high scoring affair but it was sure fun to watch. Notre Dame vs USC was fun as well, watching 2 really good Quarterbacks move the ball up and down the field. I believe that I also told you that Cincinnati was better then OSU and I believe that is holding up right now.
