Pride lost that game for Ohio State. Their coach thought he could beat us by playing a basic defense. We had struggled against teams all that year that brought the heat on our QB by blitzing.
If their coach had just kept that trend up and blitzed the QB on a regular basis, it likely would have been a totally different result. I mean the damn blitz from far less superior players and teams had given us fits all year, but he thought he could play a straight up defense and handle us easily. and Urban’s pride lasted the entire game. I thought for sure after half time he would now bring the heat but nope he just stuck with it and got his ass whooped.
That was Brian’s best game as a Offensive Coordinator. I had hoped it would carry over and that he had arrived. Now he will not be able to blame Ken for his QB is hung as everything will now fall on him. It’s donor die for Brian this season. No more blaming Ken.
