AK - This week is why he was hired!

[hapval8286]

His job just got exceedingly more difficult with injuries to Allar and Donkoh and whoever else might be banged up.

What type of gameplan do you think he will implement against Ohio St?

1) Very similar to what we have already seen with hardly any new tweeks/plays/formations? (Stick with what got us here)
2) Mostly similar to what we have seen with a moderate number of new tweeks/plays/formations? (Look for the right opportunities to mix in something new)
3) Quite a few new tweeks/plays/formations that Ohio St has never seen on film yet? (Keep Ohio St off guard and guessing from the first drive)

I have a feeling he has some plays waiting for Ohio State that have not been shown this year yet.!At least I hope so.

I do not think there will be too much that is new but I attribute the wins we already have to Coach K getting the team confident and prepared as well as the team overall being very mature and experienced. Franklin put in place an atmosphere where elder statesmen Warren, Wormley, Beamon, Dawkins and others returned.

I'd be surprised if there weren't a few new wrinkles.
AK is one of the more (most?) creative OCs I can recall.

Ioane on a Jet Sweep?

2. It will be largely the same, with a few new wrinkles. This is typical for a new OC, you'd expect him to implement base offensive concepts early on and as the team gets those down you work in a few new concepts each week. The x factor on offensive changes could be what changes if Beau starts the game though, that might appear quite different since he's such a good runner.

Same vanilla ice cream, just a few new toppings.

Was impressed by Pribula's ability to throw into tight windows. Seemed really decisive. Hopefully he can do that vs. the OSU secondary.

Probably just meaningless gossip but a WVU fan i know thinks they go after AK if they fire Neal Brown.

They will be in a longer line than they think.

Maybe if they had a couch to sit on while they wait....

I had mixed feelings watching that. He made some great throws in tight windows. I have to admit I was wondering during the game if some of those would be interceptions rather than completions if it was Ohio St rather than Wisconsin on the field.

I think you’ll see much of the same with maybe 1 or 2 new plays put in just for OSU. PSU tends to turtle up some during the OSU and Michigan games and, if Allar is out, I expect a pretty conservative game plan.

AK is going to take his shots down field. Biggest thing for me is if Beau throws a pick keep firing down field. Be aggressive and if a mistake happens so be it continue on and keep firing.

I agree - the PSU offense cannot turtle up on Saturday. Let 'er rip.

How is osu defensive line this year. If they need to load the box to support the line then hit them with Warren and Clifford and wheel routes to singleton. If they play more deep then pound the rock.

I think WVU goes after Curt Cignetti ( Alum ), but Florida and Oklahoma may offer first.

I would hope Coach K is content here and maybe PSU can give him a great offer.
Wishful thinking.
