Episode notes
Protect A Young Starter With Short Plays
- Rely on easy throws, screens, and the run game to protect a young starter in a hostile opener.
- Use surrounding playmakers and short completions to keep drives alive while the offense develops.
Receiver Recruiting Creates Sustained Excellence
- Ohio State's receiver recruiting is unparalleled and minimizes drop-off despite player departures.
- Elite recruiting at a position can sustain high performance across turnover cycles.
Simplify The QB's Job: Two First Downs
- Give young quarterbacks a simple mission: get two first downs on each drive to settle them and sustain field position.
- This reduces panic, lets the defense control the game, and helps an offense win while the passing game comes alive.
