Rhoda efficient through the air and the run game picks up some steam in the 2nd half.
I'm still concerned about the offensive line but the defense is good enough to keep us in almost every game.
---------------------
The offensive line is just fine in pass protection and improving in run blocking.. They haven't allowed a sack yet this year..

Ulmor burned his redshirt tonight. Anyone else see any true freshman play besides Ulmor and Douglas?
Redshirts are not "burned". Stop the BS, please. A player can be redshirted any time, re: Croft. Stop using an uninformed, ignorant term.
Not happy with our offensive line, our defensive backs, and Demry Croft.
Demry showed worse decision making this week than Rhoda did last week.
Also looks like our entire offense is better with Rhoda on the field so I think we can call that question answered.
If I recall, Demry had 3 series tonight and we scored on two of them. How can you say he had worse decision making?
Rhoda did look good, but Croft wasn't given an equal chance to run the offense tonight as PJ went with Rhoda.
When we started with the ball tonight and Rhoda went out for the first series, I was a little puzzled, because I would have thought PJ would want to let Croft start the game to evaluate how he would do starting and how Rhoda would do coming in off the bench. But, he didn't so no big deal. Also, thought it was odd when Croft didn't come out in the next series after the fumble, because PJ had said he wasn't going to make an in game decision on the QB based on emotion, and then he did. Having said that, I believe our QB situation is coming into focus and Rhoda has won the job. He won't be a real running threat, but he doesn't need to if he can continue to hurt teams with the pass. If we start to stall on offense, then we do have a capable back up in Demry who can come in a provide a different look/dimension for the D to have to account for in the run game and he can also throw it.
Biggest concern is still the OLine. Like others have said smith and brooks created their own yards on most runs by bouncing off guys and breaking tackles. I'd rather not rely on that. They need to get some push or open up some holes every once in a while.
The way the team responded when the game was 17-14 and all the momentum was for OSU was amazing. And the 2nd half adjustments and performance (especially the D) were as good as it gets.
"Seemed" like the run game was better early, but we were still getting the short runs with no holes. OSU seemed to be loading up for the run, so maybe we were doing well with that, not sure.
We aren't seeing the open lanes for the RB's like we saw more frequently previous seasons.
Also, thought it was odd when Croft didn't come out in the next series after the fumble, because PJ had said he wasn't going to make an in game decision on the QB based on emotion, and then he did.
