In 2006 tOSU provided a blueprint on how to beat the Hawks through the air, something NW has repeated and UW jumped all over when they needed plays in the fourth quarter.
Spread us out, and move the best athletes into the slot, b/c the defense has no nickel package, their best receivers and athletes against our linebackers.
It is not a surprise to me that a better prepared football team won this game, the noticed our tendencies and exploited them. What surprises me is that more teams don't do it.
