26-14? That's certainly not the way Ohio State wants to go into the USC game. They should have beat Ohio University by 40.
On the other hand it could have been worse. Ask West Virginia.

I sure hope they were saving some playcalling (and execution) for USC.
Otherwise....
It still (after four+ years of saying this) that Tressel (he's calling the plays, no matter the term O-Coordinator) has virtually no imagination.
I may have missed it, but swing passes, tight end across the middle, screens, any kind of stuff that is basic to the pro game, has escaped him.
You can't use the excuse that we don't have the players to do it.
The power O runs and blocking seem to develop sooooooo slowly, that there's no way we could beat a top ten team, unless execution is perfect.
Of course, if we get lucky against USC, we won't have to play another top ten team....
Oh no, you're not one of those lunatics that write the sports editor every week in the Dispatch complaining that Tressel is the worst college coach since Jerry Faust was at Notre Dame are you? Somehow Ohio State has muddled their way to 1 national championship 3 title games and 6 or 7 BCS bowls under Tressel. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I think more than the play calling yesterday was a lack of execution. The offensive line was ineffective for large parts of the game. Receivers dropped passes and even Laurenitis was missing tackles.
Lawrence Wilson was the one bright spot. In addition to his interception he got pressure on several other occasions.
It's early, of course -- but ECU seems to be this season's USF. If they're not ranked this week, something's wrong here.
Nope, I'm not. He's a good coach. But his play-calling is suspect, and we use the Power-O formation way too much.
If I know exactly where the run is going, and the play develops slowly, then USC's D-cord is sure gonna....
