Actually, you said both...bubble screes were padding stats AND 20-22 were under 10 yards... No matter, this isn't even the game in question. I started with the 2016 game because he actually has 8 quarters of game film against OSU, which is the team you are basically saying, HE didn't do much against, it was all the players around him that moved the ball against the OSU daunting defense. What better way to see this than actually "studying" (not simply watching and hoping you write a statement that comes close to the truth) all 8 quarters of play against that team/defense?

2nd half of 2016 OSU v OU Pass chart 8th drive 1. Down field pass, ball on the 45 of OU, threw from the 40, pass thrown short for incompletion 2. WR screen left, caught for 2 yard gain 3.

Down the field pass, ball on the 12 of OU, thrown from the 3 yard line complete at the 30 yard line (27 yards through the air), first down to the 32 3. Bubble screen left, ball on the 43 of OSU, loss of 2 yards 4. Pass down field, ball on the 41 of OSU, thrown from the 48 of OSU, hit the receiver in the chest at the 21, defender hits him immediately jarring the ball loose. But, you’ll blame Mayfield.. 5.

Down field pass, ball on 48 of OSU, thrown from the 45 of OU, DIVING play that looked like an INT at the 6 yard line, great defensive play after cutting off the receivers route and adjusting, after review, incomplete 3.

Down field pass, ball on 49 of OU, short pass off down field coverage, thrown from 40, caught at 50, gain down to the 43 of OSU 12th drive 1. Down field pass, ball on 1 yard line of OU, play action, threw the ball 5 yards deep in end zone, in the hands of receiver at the 11, but it would have been a tough catch, incomplete 2. Down field pass on 3rd and 10, ball on 1 yard line, massive pass rush, threw it up for grabs to avoid sack in the end zone, incomplete at the 24 yard line. That’s it, 5 drives in the second half… 3 screen passes, for a total of 5 on the night...I probably won't get to 2017 until tonight or tomorrow morning, but this is a good start...in a game where the Buckeyes DOMINATED... Baker Mayfield 17-32 226 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs MAYBE, just maybe...the coordinator looked at these stats and said...you know this is what Stoops did last year and it didn't work...we should probably change some things this year...Lincoln Riley~ Sounds like a good idea ..........to be cont.
I do hope the Browns can one day get to the same point as the Steelers where we complain about our Top 3 offensive team's coordinator and bad mouth our All Pro running back.
I'm still on Bell's side regarding his situation. I think he's worth $14M/yr. Some (many) here don't. I was one of the first to figure out Haley and led the old Doom&Gloom Brigade a few years ago calling for his head. Haley isn't terrible but I think he hit his ceiling with Pittsburgh. With a different cast, who knows? It would be great to have the rivalry back in full-swing though. #FuckBaltimore
I have a hard time using that word. Not the F-word (fuck), the other one. Its been recently bastardized. (see T_D on Reddit ***not a link***)
That's fair. I do think there's a poetic irony in them using that word disparagingly while they themselves embody it. And if not in a literal sense (although I get the feeling that's pretty plentiful, too) but in a metaphoric sense.
