Offensive Game Plan

[King Kong]

What do you think it might be? I wonder if we might not start out passing, something to the TE, then something over the top. It would really be nice to get a couple of quick scores and take them out of their game plan. 2nd half pound it down their throat!

I think the game plan should be to score more points then Northwestern

I loved our game plan against OSU, and hope
we have similar plan against NW. Need to stop NW on 4th down attempts and 3rd & longs. As long as the officials don’t screw us too badly we’ll win by double digits:

This line was -7.5 in the early lines section...before the season started. Why it is +3.5 now is crazy.

Corner fades to Omar ALL DAY.

We almost have to spread these guys out all game long. 6 seniors on their front 7? We have to come into this game like we did vs Wisconsin last year....

Saturday's game needs to be the beginning of actually finding an offensive identity! But I also agree with 'Just WIN baby'!

Speed City, high octane, up tempo, all gas no brakes, balls to the F-ing wall, all day on offense.
I think there’s no way they keep up if we play the tempo.

Defensively, we need to play a lot tighter coverage and be fundamentally sound against the run. Hopefully, we dial in some effective pass rush. A guy who showed a little promise in my opinion was Pheldarius Payne last week. Just a wild card to watch.
Luke Reimer coming back will be nice to see, and I think a guy like Farmer should hold up well against NW run.
Special teams needs to be clean.

Less penalties, and avoid turnovers. The QB fumbles last week were pretty awful after our fumble tendencies last year.
NW will play smart, and we need to be smarter.

The NW front 7 is actually small besides Fisher, I think Mills has success. Suck up the safeties into the box and throw it deep...

We need to run the spread as it was meant to be. Omar taking a db and making the defense have a high safety. Have to spread it vertically, even at being open based on personnel. Best players play. Nothing is better for experience than doing etc... Get the guys on the field that can win games.

Oh, I would also recommend playing a 5-2, but that's just me. Press man and safety's at ten yards of the los.
