First comment, if Beanie stays healthy for the entire game I think we win this one. I heard it was a concussion? Exactly! Tressel's game plan for this game was very solid and exactly how you attack this Texas team. This Texas team was not a team to "air it out" against. Our offense (QB, Recievers, O-Line) is not good enough to go toe-to-toe with Texas through the air...and it showed. The only reason we stayed in this game until the last quarter was b/c of our "conservative" play calling. Keeping the ball out of the hands of the Texas offense was the only way we had a shot in this game...and once Beanie was out this became a lot tougher. As far as Tressel's conservative play calling....did you watch Troy Smith and the 2005/06 Buckeyes? Tressel has changed the style of play calling each year to suit the players he has on the field. Look at Michigan, DickRod would rather run his top players out of the program than change his offensive scheme for a year or two easing the team into his spread attack...look where that got him this year. IMO, Tressel is one of the best coaches at adapting to the players he has at hand and our recievers and passers are not great this year like 2005/06 (look at what Gonzo, Holmes, and Ginn are doing in the NFL). I agree that at moments (like maybe the missed FG this game) I would rather see a more aggresive play call but on the flip-side if we make that FG it would have been Texas going for 2 to try to stay in the game.
