I was unsurprised by the low score because of the above, but I am somewhat shocked this year by OSU's turn around on defense. The previous DC must have been horrid. They would have won the NC easy with this defense with last years offense.
The DC is in his second year and has apparently dialed it back a little; less pressure and more deep safety help from what I’ve heard.
To me Day’s play calling has been up and down. First series looked great then not so great after. But, his QB was struggling with accuracy causing the offense to sputter.
If Harrison doesn’t get knocked out of game with a concussion against Georgia, I still think they win. If Day ran the ball more effectively before attempting the FG I still think they win.
