Ohio State was installing new play all season,.....AND, installing misdirection off plays they were running during the season, and saving them for us.
In short, they emptied the tank against us. Credit to them though, they figured out how to call plays vs BV.
Still, I figured Bama would have so much more film to grade an study after their game with us and would have a really good game plan for them. And, with only 9 days Ohio St would hav time to install much in the way of new plays.
Didn't hurt that Bama had ND (who played Clemson 2X) and then had film on Clemson/Ohio St to grade. It played out perfectly for Bama this year.
I figured this would be the outcome of this game. Close early, then Bama would make adjustments in the 1st and 2nd qtr and start to pull away.
