Given that we don't know about Austin or Jacobs status for Sat. (both are questionable....as well as Carroo!). IMO we should take a holding or interference call rather than allow a TD (see Cincy vs RU 2006). Throw them off their game / change the rhythm....as it is our CB's / DB's are young, inexperienced, banged up and depleted.

It also might be a good idea for Rossi or whoever coaches the "D" to instruct the DB's to LOOK UP and play the ball : a few INT'S would be just what the doctor ordered.

If you watched the PSU-OSU game Saturday the match up issue the JT Barrett creates is not with his arm it's with his ability to run the ball. While he is certainly capable as a passer his running ability gives OSU great running options at both the tailback and QB position.
