I think that OSU will look to mirror what ASU did against us defensively, holding us to what? 16pts in regulation? and they'll try to improve on the ASU defensive weaknesses. The one hole they'll leave us will be the long ball, because they'll risk that Quinn will continue to underthrow those receivers. If they'll have a weakness, that's it. Quinn has to make those throws to get them out of their gameplan.
I'd like to see us control the ball, I just don't think the running game is up to it. On the other hand, two or three early long passing TDs will force them to adjust and hopefully Sark will make them pay with some sustained drives. If Ewers can't make those throws, our D is in for another epic struggle, and it'll take more than 16 pts to win it.
Would be nice if the D forces a couple of turnovers. Might be worth the gamble to up the pressure on their QB. We have a good secondary who can make some big plays on underthrown passes..
