Dobbins


Dec 23, 2019, 9:10 AM

We've played Dobbins all year long...Florida State, Boston College etc...and those great running backs were stopped by Clemson...BC has a horse and we rode him all game...just remember that our secondary can cover man...we can put Tanner down if we need to and he can tackle anyone! We are good at tackling one on one if you have not noticed...those have been great failures this year of Bama, LSU & Oklahoma! Have not seen that much of OSU but they did have a little trouble with the cat from Wisconsin!

Way different. Ohio State has a balanced attack, a better OL, a stud QB, good wr's. This will be the first time we have seen a real challenge.

Alabama had all of those pieces Carlsbad ... plus the experience that OSU doesn't .
We'll be fine . I am in the corner that thinks this game will more resemble those two CFBP games from 2018 than anything resembling us struggling to win or *gasp* losing .

Go Tigers !

I am not as sold as you are that our D this year is that great or how good Ohio State is this year. Just a wait and see for me. I live our O though.

I hope you are right, but it is easy to forget just how dominant the D-Line was last year.

IMHO the greatest D-Line ever in college football - and deep too.

I like our D-Line now but they cannot be as good as last year's.

Dobbins is nothing like AJ Dillon. Maybe closer to Cam Akers. What you and others refuse to understand is putting our DB one v one against BC and FSU receivers is much different than OSU. We will have to commit extra bodies to stop the run. That is a given. It will leave our DBs 1v1 against much better receivers.

IMO Clemson will win but if we turn the ball over it will make a huge difference.

OSU has a great team but it is going to be a dogfight.

I agree with you here. I'm no expert, but my thought is Muse gets sent up front for TE Coverage and run support, while Simmons is either blitzing or shadowing Fields.

Then who is playing deep ?

BV is going to play a dozen different schemes and camouflage them all. The way to beat this balanced team is to confuse young Mr. Fields pre-snap and keep him guessing.

I'm amazed how many people here think this will be an easy game.

Stopping/containing Dobbins will be the toughest task our defense has faced all year, by far. Their balanced attack makes it even harder.

If FSU and BC were any good, why did they fire their coaches?

Re: Dobbins


Dec 23, 2019, 10:25 AM

Its much easier to stop a running attack when the QB is no threat in the passing game. That wont be the case at all Saturday as Fields will be the best QB we've played this season. I think we will win because we outscore them, not becuase we shut them down.

Re: Dobbins


Dec 23, 2019, 10:30 AM

Couldn’t beat out Jake Fromm. He looks great throwing to wide open receivers. See Tua. I think Perkins from UVA and Howell from UNC comparable.

If you don't think Fields was better than Fromm this year, I don't know what to say.

If you think we've faced an offense near the caliber of Ohio State's, SMH.

Yeah that’s par for the course with most here on tnet. The football iq on this board is downright hilarious.

Re: Dobbins


Dec 23, 2019, 1:52 PM [ in reply to Re: Dobbins ]

Maybe I'm off base but I don't worry about Fields. I do about Dobbins. We haven't seen an offense like them but they certainly have not seen a defense like ours and that is without considering 3 weeks to prepare. I keep hearing that it won't be like 31-0 but we were a 5 point underdog then me now we are the favorite. I don't expect that again but I do expect it to be comfortable.

Dec 23, 2019, 3:14 PM [ in reply to Re: Dobbins ]

Perhaps Fields is better than Fromm. That is an opinion. It’s a fact that Fromm beat him out for the job. Was Kirby wrong? Maybe. But we can only speculate.

Re: Dobbins


Dec 23, 2019, 3:28 PM

Perhaps? Opinion? Speculate? Oh brother!

Who gives a care what happened last year when Fields was a true freshman? It doesn't matter whether Kirby was wrong or not.

THIS YEAR, there is no comparison between them. Fields is better than Fromm could ever dream of being.

If you play man and load the box, it’ll be crossing rout city and Ohio State will hang 60.
Good thing for you, bad thing for me, Venables is the DC and not you.

isn't Penn St, Mich, or Wisc. The arrogance of OH St fans just because you have a better team than you usually do (that ain't saying much) would be comical if not so annoying.

In case you haven't heard 'bout this one cat named Simmons


Dec 23, 2019, 1:40 PM

He is the Ultimate X-factor on our D. They will have to run Dobbins & Fields away from Isaiah, straight into the waiting arms of Skalski, Smith and Thomas. As long as one of them can slow these buckies down, we can put on a swaggie-swarming, gang-tackling clinic.
