Impressions Ohio State

12-0, and Victory at the Shoe.
This is football Nirvana.
I am giving a game ball to the UM staff.
Playing a top team on the road without your best player and come out with W.
That is keeping your players in the game.
Difference between 1st half and 2nd.
UM slowed down OSU running game.
And UM running game finished the game out.
Another big difference, secondary tackling.
UM forced OSU to snap it again.
Three missed tackles in the secondary cost OSU 21 points.
Okay, everyone be honest. Did anyone else have a queasy feeling in their stomach after OSU scored easily on 1st drive.
The only time a threw my remote was when Henne was almost hit by a punt.
Can some one please get this fixed!
Nice adjustment by the offense.
OSU was giving our tackles a tough time with stunts and blitzes in the 1st half.
In the second half UM kicked out the edge and ran inside the kick out.
Edwards was able to beat 8 or 9 defenders in the 1st 5 yards.
We definitely witnessed a major step forward by JJ.
Hit 2 long TD passes.
If he overthrows them we probably have a different outcome.
When you have a QB who sells out that hard running the ball it has positive effect on the whole team.
Not sure why OSU stopped throwing WR screens. It gave UM fits in the 1st half.
24. UM did a better job fighting through blocks and limiting the gains.

But it was stretching UMs defense and forcing our linebackers to widen to help on the screen.
Everyone be honest again, going into the game would you have predicted a UM win with Stroud having basically all day most of the game.
Again props to Minter and staff.
They refused to allow OSU to make them get out of two high look.
Only once did the safeties make a major mistake.
Stainstil vacated his position and drifted outside the hash. OSU WR beat him to the middle for 6 points.
I am giving another game to UMs interior O Linemen.
Moved the LOS backwards and wore out the OSU defense front.
Sorry Drn, but it has a long time since I have seen an OSU team get that frustrated.
Those 15 yard penalties really helped UM and hurt OSU.
I know this is about UM, but IMO Stroud just might of played himself out a Heisman Trophy.
On To Indy, Until Next Week. Go Blue!
