I heard an analyst talking about that very play. I think it was Matt Wyatt, not sure.
They never intended for a MLB to be covering Smith. The point was that the combination of Sark's scheme (presnap-motions) along with Smith's speed/quick direction changes kept them so off balance that they just were over matched once the play began.
Ohio State was trying to give help over the top and that left so many other things wide open underneath. That plan worked great vs Clemson but not Bama. It was an impressive scene.

Ohio State had no idea where he was going to line up play after play. Sark did a great job of moving him around along with adding motion to the mix. There are times the D just has to line-up and play ball- and there is nothing they can do.

It?s clearly been an offensive game for 5-10 years. Being a DC has to be tough in gauntlet leagues.

Pretty easy to get surprised by a gimmick for one game and not be able to figure out an adjustment during the game, even if it comes to you pretty easy afterwards.
Don't think what Bama was doing is a gimmick as much as it is just a good scheme that is hard to cover combined with OSU feeling like more linebackers got their best players on the field and that resulting in them getting caught in mismatches more than if they had put more DBs out there.

Arians went for it on fourth and 3 at end of first half and they wound up getting a td which was the difference in the game and then lafleour wussed out on fourth and goal and never saw the ball again. Gotta have big stones to win the big ring, lafleour don't have em right now.

Just unreal. The work these coaches and players put into the game and then to muck up the decisions a 12 year old on Madden could make.

Some of them are too scared to succeed. Honestly, if our coaches try to make an aggressive decision and it doesn't work I try not to be too hard on them personally unless they call a high risk play like Dan on the goal line in 2009 when AD probably would have scored. And had Dan given the ball to AD and gotten stopped I wouldn't have said a thing.

The head coach made a really stupid decision to not go for it but Rogers not running it in when he had nothing but green grass and the endzone in front of him was equally as dumb.

I could be wrong but it seems like Rodgers is more interested in the TD pass. Sometimes when they get older they start looking at stats. IMO

That was bad series. Rodgers missed a wide open guy trying to force it to Devante Adams also.
