Jaamal Berry has won over some OSU fans who want to see more of his speed.Editor's note: The Heys have gone to Twitter. You can continue to send Doug Lesmerises Hey Doug questions, but now you can also follow him on Twitter and ask questions to @PDBuckeyes. A few questions will be chosen and used here each week.
@BuckeyeToad75 Should Jaamal Berry be our #1 return guy & starting running back? He is so explosive! He reminds me of Chris Johnson on Titans!
Berry had two kickoff returns of at least 40 yards and that's a nice way to give him a chance to contribute. But he's actually the No. 4 tailback right now, behind not only Brandon Saine and Dan Herron, but Jordan Hall. He's only a redshirt freshman, so Berry's chance should come in future years, but there's a lot more to playing running back than just running the ball. So for now, the current rotation makes sense to me.
@TheKilynSDorio Should we be worried with the red zone offense in future games?
Not counting the end of the game when they took a knee inside the 10, the Buckeyes were inside the 20-yard line eight times against Miami and came away with three touchdowns, four field goals and a missed field goal. That's too many field goals and something to wonder about. It's at the top of my list to discuss this week.
@Buckeyes1117 What's the offensive game plan for Ohio U and EMU? Air it out, get everybody some playing time, or play it close to the vest?
Against Ohio and Eastern Michigan, I expect the Buckeyes to tinker with some aspects of the passing game, like throwing more to the backs and tight ends. And you need to let Terrelle Pryor find a rhythm for at least a half without handcuffs on. But I'd expect the ground game in the third quarter and the backup quarterbacks in the fourth quarter for the nest two weeks.
@T4Tango Does Ohio State have the speed at LB to stop Denard Robinson?
I'd expect the Buckeyes to get into their nickel defense against Michigan, so between linebackers Ross Homan and Brian Rolle and safeties Tyler Moeller and Jermale Hines, Ohio State would be equipped to deal with Robinson. Ohio State would also do a better job at the point of attack, with the speed of linemen such as Nathan Williams and the power of linemen like Cameron Heyward, in not giving Robinson those initial holes. But if Robinson keeps playing like he has and stays healthy, it will be a fun showdown.
