For what it's worth, here's one of the challenges that you guys are going to have to get around. Last year, we were able to keep a lot of pressure on Purdy in the pocket. While we only had two sacks in the game, we forced five qb hurries and twice as many near hurries that didn't make the stat sheet. That was with a young defensive line working against a veteran offensive line.
In last year's game, your o-line was LT-Good- Jones, LG Downing, C Olsen, RG Knipfell and LG Meeker. This year only Olsen returns, but it looks like he's out for weeks, if not the entire season.
So now the experience tables have turned. OSU brings back the entire front six from last year's team. We also are adding JC DE Irby who returned a fumble for a TD against WVU and LB Calvin Bundage, who missed all of last year. Bundage is a pass rush specialist who currently is, in conference games only, the leader in sacks/game at 2.5. The three guys that picked off Purdy passes in the fourth quarter are all back.
I don't see how your green offensive line can be better at protecting Purdy in the pocket than last year's line, especially with every Cowboy is back, a year stronger and better. Tell me why I'm wrong.
