Last season, Jim Knowles’ OSU Defense completely took away our short passing and running game.
Smith’s stat line..
9/29 for 83 yards 2.9 avg, no TDs or INTs, one fumble and a QBR 13.6.. He rushed for -15 yards on 10 carries.
It remains the worst performance of his career, which is saying something..
I expect the same thing from Derek Mason this year. The only chance we have on offense this Saturday will be to be diligent with the running game and hit a couple of deep balls early to make them pay. It will test Smith’s and ZK’s mettle.
I hope and pray, the officials call PIs, because if they’re beat, they will play you tight and maul you.. Also, let’s hope Smith can somehow throw a few quality deep balls, which is one of his weaknesses. He must also, read the end effectively on Zone Reads and burn them with a healthy dose of QB keepers.
I honestly think our defense will keep us in this one, but it could be difficult to watch.
My recommendation.. Start drinking or smoking before the game to numb the pain. If we somehow win, you can re-watch later for the details.
