Knowing that the backup isn’t prepared, you have your injured QB run draws where he will almost assuredly get hit by a lineman or linebackers.

The sideline lady even mentioned Clifford looking injured and he got up pretty slowly several times. Did his accuracy go down later in the game? Seems like a strange strategy to me?

When Clifford is healthy, he is our best offensive weapon. He needs to run to be competitive against good teams. We were taken to the wire by Maryland because he couldn't, wouldn't or wasn't allowed to run last week. Ohio State used the most conservative offensive/defensive game plan I have seen them use under Day expecting Clifford to be pocket bound. We'll go back to Clifford being immobile against Rutgers next week and swing back to mobile Clifford against Sparty.
 
I'm not use why people blame his running for getting beat up. The 6 or 7 sacks plus more hits after the throw did that trick.


Well I don't know why I came here tonight.
I've got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face.
Losing control and running all over the place.

Hey...this isn't the jukebox thread 😉

But it sure is appropriate
