Daily 5 (Sick @ Work)

Five things I would love to see this Saturday night when Ohio State plays Penn State in the 'Shoe. My "silver bullets" if you will.

  1. 3-4 Defense: We've got a lion's share (no pun intended) of linebackers. Imagine this line-up: Heyward, Gibson, Larimore + Freeman, Laurinaitis, Sabino/Spitler, and Homan. Swap in Hines once in a while if necessary.
  2. Dual QB Pistol: Boeckman still has an arm and can read coverages. Picture Boeckman in the Pistol formation with Pryor to his left and Beanie behind him. I ask you this defenses around the world; now what?
  3. More DB/Safety Blitzes: I'd like to say more blitzes period, but our coaches aren't bright enough to bring creative pressure... See bullet point #1. How do you think the Patriots and Steelers do it? Reference: MNF game 10/20/2008.
  4. Birth of a Star: Let Pryor pass the ball for 200+ yards. tOSU ran the ball two-thousand consecutive plays against Michigan State. I'd also like to see some screen passes, reverses, and WR sweeps to keep the defense honest. If Boeckman could do it last year, Pryor can do it this year.
  5. Cow Bells: what's more annoying than a roar or Zombie Nation? Cow bells. Rhetorically appropriate in Columbus, Ohio.

Hey Coach, which guy am I supposed to block again?
