My strategy...
We need to shut down their receivers and make their quarterback uncomfortable. Then we have to control the line, control the clock, and control the ball. Ball security will be key in the game. Every opportunity OSU has to score is going to be 10x worse than with Smew... Hill needs to manage the game and use his legs before he uses his arm. He needs to thread the needle every throw and not miss the open receivers.
Unfortunately TCU is never that El Foldo game for them and it usually is an El Foldo game for TCU. That needs to change Saturday.Ok St aggy syndrome. They never can put it all together and find a way every year to fold in a big game that keeps them out of the big picture. Alway a chance that this is the game where they choose to El Foldo for the big prize.
And yes we are due in stillwater.
I think you will see Kenny run the ball more. I don't think we have seen alot of this because they have been waiting for conference play. Tell Kenny...if you're scrabling, you have 2 choices, turn up and run or throw it away. Kenny looked really good throwing against SMU when his feet were set. When he was running and threw across his body he didn't even know where that ball was going.
I think their defense is good but not what it was last year. This game will come down to mistakes. The margin of error for both teams is razor thin, so if either team makes a mistake and the other scores off that mistake...it will be hard to recover.
We could catch them of guard and throw a pass to a tight end, no one would be expecting that.
TCU better practice silent counts due to crowd noise you can't hear anything on the field. We have to sustain drives and make first downs. When in the red zone have to score touch downs. Defense needs to force 7 punts and we have a good chance. We have to also limit them to four field goal attempts. If we do that and we can we should win. We still need to outscore them so I hope we run spread and attack them take the game. Get big lead force them to pass and we can blow them out.
I'm not disagreeing, but for #2, does Rudolph ever miss a deep throw? I haven't seen any but I haven't watched that much.Keys to success:
1. Run the ball successfully and control the clock
2. Force Rudolph to beat us with the deep ball. This will keep their defense on the field and let us score more easily, and they won't make 100% of their deep shots.
3. Win the turnover battle
That's really all we need to do. If we can contain their short pass and run game, then even though they'll score points on the deep ball, their defense will be gassed and sooner or later they'll start missing shots down the field. Getting a turnover or two to halt drives will also help immensely.
To be clear I doubt we can do this. But that's the game plan, I think.
So you're telling me Pitt (dumpster fire team) scored 12 points on you with a QB who hadn't played yet this year? Clever language, South Tulsa Dork.Tulsa scored 10 points offensively against our first team defense. They got 7 on special teams and seven against the freshmen and walk ons in the fourth quarter.
USA didn't score against the first team defense. They to got a TD against he reserves in the fourth.
Pitt scored 14 points against the first team defense, using a QB we had limited film on. They scored their other TD on special teams.
In total, the Cowboys' first team defense has given up 24 points in three games, for an 8 points a game average.
In fact, in the first quarter of the three games, OSU scored a combined 59 to zero scoring total. No team has yet posted any score in the first period.
