There are 2 or 3 KEY reasons why OSU beats Georgia tonight. Notice I didn't say UPSET. I said BEATS. #1 Whether you like or DONT like Zack Smith he has access to the coach's film which is different than broadcast video. Whether you like or dislike him he IS a former OSU coach who in his JOB did rather well. His personality, his history, and his mistakes aside he DOES know what he is talking about when it comes to X's and O's.
He gives you the straight stuff and it doesn't matter if you don't like what he has to tell you. He WARNED fans that if OSU didn't play very well they would get beat. He warned bout being sound in coverage and gap integrity BOTH off which led to the 5 explosive plays that cost OSU the game. He says OSU's front 7 has a fairly big advantage with the front 7 vs the UGA OL. Said Bowers WILL make play the D just has to make sure that a 10-15 yard play doesn't turn into a 40+
He said If CJ plays his best OSU wins.
I bring that up because I just saw the Holly Rowe piece today where teammates are saying that CJ has an edge about him he has never shown. That he is now being VERBALLY engaged with accountability. CJ has ALWAYS passed the physical ABILITY for his LEGS to be a weapon. He has just chosen to not take off when that has been available. Could this be a game where CJ runs on the UGA defense because they don't respect that aspect of his game(in fairness, he hasn't run the ball outside of the NW game.) This is a game where IMO he has to take the 5-10 yard scramble to keep OSU moving the ball. Embuka has to have a similar performance or better like he did in the Michigan game.
