Listening to you--Austin, Bill and Birm--try to explain or figure out why so many of the team's talented players did not get to play more than a few snaps on Saturday: because to get more playing time, the coaches designed packages for certain situations for certain players and Indiana didn't cooperate by running the wishbone and option offense.
With veteran, experienced players on defense, players who are deemed the best on the team, they are best suited to handle the unexpected formations. I'd expect every opponent to come out and do things that they rarely ever do to try and confuse the Buckeye offense and defense.
The coaches need to make adjustments on the fly for every situation....keep them out of system.
If the Bucks didn't have great depth, it would be easier for all of us because we wouldn't wonder why C.J. Hicks isn't playing.
