Orange Bowl -OSU Defense

Well, once again, the OSU defense can't play the pass. DB's constantly not locating where the ball is in the air with the back turned toward the ball. Clemson ran the same flanker screen at least 5 times to Sammy Watkins. Luke Fickel never did figure out how to defense the dam play. He's gotta go next year and Meyer must find a defensive coordinator that knows how to correct the defense to the given situation. Fickel never has figured that one out. Clemson LB's beat up on Miller. OSU's defense never did threaten Clemson's QB. OSU's defense never did match the aggressiveness of Clemson's defense. Like the Michigan State game, OSU never did match the intensity to win in this one. Did they really care if they won? Hard to watch late in the game. "Nice job" by Philly Brown running without the ball on the punt return that wasn't. OSU just plain isn't as good as the people in Columbus think they are. Miller is too fragile for the sport and crumbles with any contact. Mercy, Meyer has alot of work to do to get them competitive with the top tier teams.
