Here’s my concern - we all knew arch needed to be a game manager - and the OL actually played pretty well - no sacks (maybe 1 for no loss), limited pressures and a decent running outcome. Arch was playing like dog shit. tOSU was dropping in coverage making it really hard for Arch.
putting aside the 1-4 scoring in the red zone, we had some offense working. Hell we racked up over 300 yards.
so what is my concern?
tOSU *gave* us 4.5 yards per carry or we made that happen - doesn’t matter - keep taking it until the safeties have to come up. Be boring, run the ball.
the reality is the championship teams win with defense. EVERY offense struggles against elite defenses. And if you can eek out a decent clip running the ball and get to the red zone four times and take the points you can win even when you struggle.
so putting aside the red zone shit brigade, and sark’s addiction to going for it and aversion to the FG, my biggest concern is he won’t lean heavily on the run game when it’s working regardless of why it’s working.
And took 2 points off the board.
