Yeah, we got out coached too. but we don't have superior athletes to GT across the board. We have nobody with the speed of their QB. Nobody that could cover their big TE.
I am looking forward to watching the osu defense tonight and see how defense is played in the Meyer system. I haven't watched them this year but would assume it's the same bend but don't break?
Nope it's a 4-3 downhill attacking d. Built to first stop the run but uses the de and lb to get after the QB. Man and zone coverages in the secondary wil mix it up. But very active in the front 7Quote:

Then Urban had Teryl Austin. Urban also inherited Whittingham at Utah who had already been there for 7 years. Really different situations.
. Fickell was the intern for a year at osu and myer held him for one year as dc that was the one I missed. Still 4 dc in 12 years vs 4 in 6Quote:

We're up to 6 DCs in 12 years. Could actually be 7. The guys Meyer kept longterm were loyal guys that he inherited from previous staffs at the Florida/Utah stops...
Yep. I forgot Whithers. So 7 in 12 years with Whittingham and Strong being long tenured hold overs. Maybe he had to take them but probably not. But if you eliminate those two guys it looks awful like 5 DC in 8 years to me.Quote:

I've seen one guy say that and it doesn't get posted until after the game. I'm willing to bet that it's made up by him or he was fed bad info. Kinda of ironic the timing of this story coming out. Always makes me suspicious.Quote:

He totally overmatched his counterpart (the interim DC) and was at least 2 steps ahead of him at nearly every turn. Our guys played tentative and did not attack. We were catching blocks all night. Their cut blocks really affected us. They absolutely dominated our defense which meant that our offense had to play mistake free, which obviously we didn't.Quote:
