Missed the first quarter. Second quarter didn't impress me. Looked better in second half. And to be transparent, I was pretty distracted watching most of the second half. Worked all night. Tired. Catching up on calls and work stuff. Maybe I'm being overly harsh or unrealistic.
Penalties need to be reduced. Open field tackling in the first half was not great. Fleming (all 155lbs) had a stellar first half. He should not have been a factor. He flat beat our DBs more than once and made them miss a ton of tackles.
Just a few observations. Not saying we were horrible. I am nit picking details of items they need to clean up to be a National Championship team.
We, as Buckeye fans, tend to expect perfection from 18-23yr old kids. It isn't fair, but that is where the bar has been set. A win is a win and something to build on. Let's hope we continue to mesh as a team and steadily improve.
