The TD run from Drew Mestemaker was possibly the most “rewarding” play of the year for me. Of course, the Oregon flip and some of his throws take the cake in terms of “highlight value,” but that play involved so many people.

Lepo and Hansen had to pull, Hansen had to seal, and Lepo had to kick. Mercer and Magiya had to block down, Adeyi drew attention with the play fake, the receivers had to block, and then Drew had to time it up and run it into the end zone.

When that many people are involved in the success of a play, IMO, it creates a lot of excitement.

Nathan Gilsleider takes you through the counter play that Mestemaker scored on and how Coach Morris does such a great job of putting his players in position to succeed.

Drew Mestemaker’s TD Run: The Counter Play Behind the Score | OSU Football Analysis
🏈 GREAT PLAYERS IMPACT THE GAME EVEN WITHOUT THE BALL

Sometimes Bowick gets doubled, and Wyatt comes open. Other times, those two draw so much attention that Barnes, Miles, or Terrence get favorable matchups.

On Saturday, UCF was bound and determined not to let Caleb Hawkins loose. And, TBH, they did a good job of it. But as a result, they left other areas vulnerable that OSU took advantage of, like on the McPhaul TD.

Hawkins is also a tremendous blocker. When you put all of that together, then consider what happens when he does have a 200-yard game, it shows just how much impact he has on this offense.

We've hit on this before, but this offense is super creative. And when we say that, we don't mean they're running double-reverse passes, Statue of Liberty plays, and flea-flickers every down. We mean that within the base concepts they believe can be successful that week, they do a great job of using formations, motion, play action, and deception to make the defense think A while giving them B.

IMO, consistent creativity is much more effective than explosive creativity. It's the meat and potatoes of holding onto the ball and creating consistency throughout the entire game.

The Roundup with Scott McKinley: UCF Takeaways, The Good & The Bad, and Grades By Position
This roster has talent, no question, but I think what's made it function together as a whole unit so well is the overall IQ of the players on this team. You can go through each unit, and after hearing them talk, you get the impression that they would be great coaches.

They know their stuff!

Tate Romney, father of 2, is at the top of that list! And then, when you add Ethan Wesloski and Isaiah Chisom next to him, there's not a whole lot that's going to get past them.

They help get and keep things organized. Then, when/if they get a visual cue, they can make a sight adjustment on the front or whatever it may be, similar to the same freedom that Drew Mestemaker has at QB.

Of note, I think the "finishing" piece for Tate has improved remarkably over the last 3 games. Being out as long as he was, there was always going to be some rust to knock off. So, to see how fast he mentally processes and diagnoses plays post-snap, even if he is older, is super impressive. Now, having added the finishing piece has made him a really good player.

As a coach, watching his details like first step, eye discipline, chasing pullers, angles, the way he rips through trash, and the way he layers when he's on the backside of a play are all very clinical. If you're an Xs and Os type person, he's one you want to watch.

Which is why I got kinda into the Xs and Os weeds with him in this interview.

🟠 ASHTON LEPO | RIGHT TACKLE
“IT'S JUST GREAT HOW EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE HERE.” 

“It starts in practice, working hard and paying attention to our technique. I've been with a lot of great players and teammates. It's just great how everyone is on the same page here.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Of all the parts of this OSU team that have continued to get better week by week, I think the offensive line could be put toward the top.

Also, put them toward the top when it comes to knowing what they're good at and then playing to their strengths. Kudos to Coach Morris and Coach Crill for building the scheme around execution and focusing on the skill sets of the players.

Ashton Lepo, at right tackle, has seen just about everything that college football has to offer. He's played with some great linemen and says he's pleased with how this O-line has gotten on the same page.

🟠 “EVERYONE GETS TREATED LIKE A STARTER.”

“We have 3 groups of starters if you think about it.”

— Braylon Rigsby

Braylon Rigsby, who is back from injury, explains how rotating players makes everyone feel valued, as if they are all starters. And how powerful of a motivator that is.

Sometimes you can get some “he said all the right things” during interviews. Not in this program, though. What you see and hear is what you get, and that starts with the head coach and makes its way down to every rotation piece in every unit.

So, when a guy like Rigsby tells you how much confidence this gives everyone, or how everyone feels like a starter, or whatever it may be, believe him!

Or, you can take a bite of the pudding and find the proof. It's not hard to find.

When a roster full of 92 new players, many in their last year, and with no ties to OSU, starts playing "We've Got You Bro", ball, that's when a roster full of 92 new players, many in their last year, and with no ties to OSU, turns into a TEAM. 

And the winning usually follows right behind it! It's called "process meeting results". Super rewarding to watch when it happens.
