The looked much better in this 51-10 victory. Yes, the level of competition was not very high, no offense, but the execution was there. The Receivers were not dropping passes, thus allowing the running game to get open. If only they could have remembered how to catch against UK. Another change in the offense was that is seemed like Cantwell rolled out of the pocket more. This might have been a response to him have several balls tipped last week, or just a product of gameplanning against Tenn. Tech. Either way, it appears to have been successful.
Once again, the defense looked good. This defense is not getting fooled on plays, and is not missing tackles. With last year's defense, this game would have been much closer.
In other news, Ohio State did not look good without their starting running back. It could be a long day next week against USC if he is not healthy. Whoever threw the flag for excessive celebration against Washington should be slapped. It is unreasonable to expect a team that has been on hard times to not celebrate when they score a touchdown as time was expiring to give them a chance to tie the game with the extra point, against a ranked team. The penalty made a simple 20 yard field goal into a more difficult 35 yard field goal. BYU blocked the kick, and won the game by 1. A shorter field goal would have allowed the kicker to get under the ball more, and put more of an arc on it.
