DVR review of Ohio State-Notre Dame game shows Buckeyes' flaws, highlights
Tuesday night, I rewatched the Ohio State-Notre Dame game on my DVR and posted highlight (and lowlight) clips on Twitter.
Here are those clips and my analysis in chronological order. Consider it one-stop shopping.
A couple of plays stood out. The one that impressed me the most was a Miyan Williams run in which it took seven Notre Dame tacklers to bring him down.
I'll plan to do this for most games this season. Thanks for your interest.
Nice Buckeye debut for Chip Trayanum on the opening kickoff, with help from Xavier Johnson. pic.twitter.com/0NEu75hfHj

Obviously, Josh Proctor has to make this tackle. But look how close J.T. Tuimoloau got to a sack and Steele Chambers’ speed to track down Lorenzo Styles. Yes, I think the J.T. penalty was justified but not flagrant. pic.twitter.com/dYsF32Pv6u

We’d heard Michael Hall Jr. was becoming a force. Poor No. 52 would vouch for that. pic.twitter.com/AVEzYu4qPt

Notre Dame’s only sack. Donovan Jackson got beat here. I suspect he won’t get beat often in his career. pic.twitter.com/PFRCeNClXB

Tuimoloau beats a double team. He might have most potential of anybody on this defense. pic.twitter.com/E1M17OcoMu

Latham Ransom, who replaced Proctor, makes a key play to prevent a third-down conversion, despite giving up 60 pounds to Michael Mayer. pic.twitter.com/Qkdy3BQZ8N

Here’s the play on which JSN got hurt on the hit by Brandon Joseph. High hit but led with shoulder. Thought it was head injury but it’s apparently a hamstring. pic.twitter.com/8PMQWfASyY

OSU’s first-half TD. This is an NFL throw by Stroud. No margin for error and possible pick six if not thrown perfectly accurate. pic.twitter.com/xI5rZjrdoi

Matt Salerno will tell his grandkids about this catch, and he won’t be lying. pic.twitter.com/mtOkSTDcUB

Michael Hall is so quick. But he has to be careful about ducking his head. Didn’t get targeting call here but didn’t need to lower head. Maybe he got tripped a bit. pic.twitter.com/mcIDFkxED3

TreVeyon Henderson shows his vision to cut back. Stroud hustles downfield as a blocker. pic.twitter.com/uxb6UpPWId

The timing on this was bad from the start. WRs were late moving off the snap and Egbuka should have slowed as he crossed to give Stroud an easier throw. Then Ruggles missed the FG. pic.twitter.com/z1CxVVpTFG

Probably the right call here on Ransom even though he had to make split-second decision. pic.twitter.com/ra2wuJooOv

If Miyan Williams keeps his balance, he’s gone. And he knows it. pic.twitter.com/Mkb4lEsj8M

Terrific awareness by Stroud to spin away from a likely sack. pic.twitter.com/RvM8SEyflK

Terrible spot by official here. Catch was near - probably just short of - first down but was spotted 2 yards short. pic.twitter.com/Ak22plNO6a

The first of two great throws like this by Stroud. pic.twitter.com/0Di0qUIj1s

The sideline throw to Williams. Also smart to run the next play quickly because not sure Williams was inbounds. pic.twitter.com/N6esgMKh9h

Miyan Williams bulled for 5 additional yards after contact by about seven Notre Dame players. Damn. pic.twitter.com/I0XXbto18X

Williams and the offensive line have taken over at this point. pic.twitter.com/sJsUJXitui

That'll do it for the video review. It was what I thought on Saturday - an imperfect but gritty win. Lot of things to like and the mistakes I saw look correctable. Defense played with passion and confidence. 1/

I wanted to do the DVR review Sunday or Monday but was spent from writing so much, especially the Stroud profile (which I hope you read). But I'm glad I did it. It mostly reinforced what I saw Saturday. Thanks for following along. 2/2
