Diving deep on OSU’s loss to the Golden Hurricane.

Y’all are saints for rewatching this. Don’t have access to the full article, but the breakdown on the 26 incompletions is really insightful. OL is going to need to buck up a bit against Oregon.

If DM changed calls at the line, was he baited and outcoached by Lamb? That is, knowing DM had the authority to change a play did they show one look then do something different. Was it like Lamb v. DM?

Also, can this be marked down to TU spending all summer for this one victory? Its like when Les beat uo - everyone knew uo was better but oSu had that game circled. Lamb had tape from last year to cut up and plan for, in addition to telling his guys all summer that no one gave them a chance - prove them wrong.

Grasping at straws - looking for a silver lining. Sure wish Murray State would have been the first game so some rhythm could have been established.

Disappointing for sure, but there were several passes DM made that were the most beautiful, tight, in-stride spirals I’d ever seen from a college player. I can see why he’s considered legit. I don’t think this was anywhere close to the best game we’ll see from him. But hopefully it was the worst.

I always feel this way. I like the ramp up non-con where you take on FCS, then a G6, then maybe a P4.

we just need more money lol
