Ohio State vs. Oregon

Ohio State
8 DeVier Posey
97 Cameron Heyward
51 Ross Homan
70 Bryant Browning

Oregon
55 Casey Matthews
35 Spencer Paysinger


Casey Matthews

12:44 1st - Lacks speed and burst to chase down WR on screen to sideline ... obviously lacks elite range with this play


Spencer Paysinger

11:55 1st - Nice technique and excellent pass breakup ... shows some athleticism here

*:25 1st - Gets easily stiff armed by Pryor on QB keeper and misses tackle


DeVier Posey

11:51 1st - Beautiful pass from QB but doesn't come down with TD catch ... no excuses here ... must have lacked concentration


Cameron Heyward

1st 11:31 - Doesn't have very good athleticism or fluidity, but stays with play and makes downfield tackle on WR screen

1st 11:03 - OT blows assignment and Heyward gets sack ... give no credit here to Heyward it was simply a blown play

Heyward showing a lot of inconsistency in the first half ... I'm waiting for him to make a play and he just appears invisible at times.

Heyward continues to be soft and not make plays in first 5 minutes of 3rd QTR...seems a little soft

Terrible game from Heyward...invisible throughout.


Ross Homan

1st 11:17 - Shows solid range and reaction on QB option to speedy RB ... makes tackle

1st 10:35 - Excellent technique ... great footwork and tackle

11:49 1st - Very fluid in coverage and gives RB zero YAC ... nice tackle ... Homan is an extremely active football player and a physical tackler

10:14 1st - Lacks elite agility to make tackle on RB Lamichael James

9:18 1st - Homan seems to lack some instincts ... doesn't react very quickly on this play and is like a statue

14:27 4th: Good job of shedding block from OG to make tackle


Bryant Browning

1st 9:30 - Oustanding power and bulk to seal off DT for a big running lane up the middle


Justin Boren

1st 9:30 - Doesn't showcase much athleticism or flexibility on this trap block
