Recently Reggie Rogers a 2015 WR has shown serious interest in Ohio State. Rogers is a special talent that can excel at either wide receiver or defensive back. He recently transferred to Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio which produced current Buckeye Gareon Conley. Rogers is hard working and has enough speed to player either the slot or outside receiver in our offense. He is starting to build a relationship with Coach Vrabel and I could see him landing an offer in the near future.

247sports.com list him as the number 35 overall safety and 23rd best player in Ohio.

This week I had the opportunity to discuss the Cal game with Hunter Hewitt beat reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle but I had technical problems and didn’t get to save his answers so I would like to send my apologies for wasting his time.

Thankfully I got to get with ShawnXT of calfootballblog.com/ you can check out his statistical break down and rankings of each team for tomorrows game.

MotSaG: Cal lost to Northwestern 44-30 the difference being the 2 (tipped passes) interceptions returned for touchdowns. First was the game actually that close? Second does it give the Bears confidence they could hang with the Buckeyes?

CFB: It was definitely a close game during the 3rd quarter. Cal had to come from behind from the start of the second half but in the 3rd quarter, things started to click for our offense. It seemed like Goff needed the first half to really settle down and get used to the speed of the offense. However, the interceptions just killed any and all momentum that we had and we just couldn’t keep up near the end of the 4th. For the second question, I don’t think the Northwestern game really affected how the team feels about Ohio State. The Bears have had confidence all camp, and even after the Northwestern loss we feel that the Bears can definitely keep up with the Buckeyes and even pull off the upset.

MotSaG: Was Cal overlooking Portland State last week?

CFB: Absolutely. After the game, head coach Sonny Dykes addressed the team saying that he poorly prepared the team against Portland State. I know that a lot of Cal fans were overlooking Portland State because of the Ohio State game the week after. Portland State came out firing and immediately put Cal on its heels, which is something we are definitely afraid of happening again with the Buckeyes in town.

MotSaG: How exciting is it to watch freshman QB Jared Goff?

CFB: We are extremely excited about Goff. He has the most passing yards in the nation. In fact, he has the most passing yards by a freshman in his first two weeks, in the BCS era. We haven’t seen such a productive Cal quarterback since Nate Longshore in 2006 when Cal was Co-Pac10 Champions with USC. I know that we are going to lose games this season with our young team, but at least we will be going out swinging. During the last years of the Tedford regime, it was incredibly hard to watch our team’s inability to score. We are really happy that this offense can really put up points.

MotSaG: Do you expect Goff to continuing to put up the incredible numbers he has against OSU?

CFB: We are expecting similar numbers to what he did against Northwestern but hopefully with less interceptions. He will definitely test OSU’s secondary on every passing play especially because we will be spreading the field with up to 5 receivers a play. Funny enough, I think Coach Dykes actually wants less yards in the air but more yards on the ground because we are having difficulty getting our ground game going.

MotSaG: What is Cal’s weakness?

CFB: Cal is definitely at a disadvantage on both sides of the line. All of our offensive lineman are either sophomores or freshmen without enough experience nor discipline. This is actually the main reason why our run game has been lacking the past couple weeks. On the other side, Cal’s defensive line is depleted of players. Three of our top defensive linemen will most likely be out against Ohio State. It has been a huge blow to Cal’s defense because not only are we not able to contain the run and attach the passer but we are missing our defensive leaders.

MotSaG: Strengths on defense?

CFB: Watch out for CB Kam Jackson. He has been a lockdown corner the past two weeks and every time a ball has been thrown his way, he has had an opportunity to get his hands on the ball.

MotSaG: Do you feel Cal can keep the game close like last year and possibly pull off an upset?

CFB: Definitely. Simply because our offense has the ability to come from behind and score quickly like we showed against Northwestern. My only concern would be if the Buckeyes are up early and up a lot. Our defense will have trouble containing the run and giving the ball back to the Cal offense.

MotSaG: How big of an issue are the injuries the Bears are suffering this season?

CFB: It is HUGE. Cal has injuries to veteran leaders on all levels of our defense. We’ve lost half of our defensive line, all of them being former starters. Our top tackler, Nick Forbes, has yet to play a game, and our top safety Avery Sebastian is out for the season. We have been forced to play a lot of freshmen and it has been a rough couple weeks for them.

MotSaG: Do you feel Brendan Bigelow can repeat his performance from last season?

CFB: Honestly, I don’t think so. The only reason is because last year no one really knew who he was until his huge performance against Ohio State. This time around, there is no way the Buckeye defense will lose track of him. However, this is going to work in favor of our passing offense. Just faking the run to Bigelow scare opposing defenders.

MotSaG: What is the feeling of having Sonny Dykes on the sidelines leading the Bears?

CFB: He is a huge plus. Dykes is a great leader who understands his players and understands that he is there to win. Dykes has built a trusting relationship with all of his players and has sold his system to every Cal Bear. Dykes and his staff has brought a new fire to the program and we are very excited to see where it can take us.

MotSaG: Do you feel the PAC-12 or the B1G is the better (tougher) football conference?

CFB: Of course I’m going to say the Pac-12! However, I’m going to reserve my honest judgement until after this weekend. Since there are 4 Pac-12 v B1G games this weekend, whichever conference comes on top will show the nation who is the better conference.

MotSaG: What is your prediction of the game? Score?

CFB: Cal has been determined to be prepare for Ohio State in every way possible and to resolve the mistakes made against Northwestern and Portland State. I’m predicting a shootout between Goff and Miller(assuming he’s playing). Cal 48- Ohio State 42.

Its so nice to do these interviews to see the passion these fellow bloggers have for their team even if we feel they are way off or at least I hope they are.

I am worried in a sense of possibly not having Adolphus Washigton more than Braxton Miller possible being out. Cal has a young offensive line and to help the secondary the defensive line needs to be in the backfield messing Jared Goff’s timing with his receivers.

I would like to thank ShawnXT for taking the time out and answering my questions and letting Buckeye Nation know what Cal fans are thinking and feeling.

If you want to get involved and have questions about upcoming opponents feel free to send them in to me and I can send them on. Email your questions to AskMotSaG@gmail.com or MotSaG@gmail.com. Would love to know your thoughts on this post and hope you enjoyed it.

After a great second week of the season for the B1G conference, they look to continue their success in week three. This week though the schedule steps up a notch in difficulty. The key match-ups for the conference this week are against PAC-12 schools (4 games against these schools). Can the B1G have another great week? How will the B1G fare against the PAC-12? Let’s get to the games!

Bowling Green @ Indiana

Both teams have demonstrated they can score a lot of points so far. Bowling Green scored 34 against Tulsa and 41 against Kent State, while Indiana hung 73 on Indiana State opening weekend and 35 in a loss to Navy. I see both putting up similar numbers again and it should be a shootout for the entire game. It’s going to come down which defense can cause more turnovers. This game is a complete toss-up and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Falcons snatched a mild upset against the Hoosiers.

Western Illinois @ Minnesota

Look for Minnesota to improve to 3-0 in this game. While Western Illinois has started off the season with two easy victories, I don’t see them defeating Gophers. Mainly because the Gophers have been playing great defense and running the ball effectively, something that should worry the Leathernecks. Minnesota also knows it needs every win it can get before getting into conference play if they want to ensure they reach a bowl for a second straight season.

#16 UCLA @ #23 Nebraska

Image Source

This is the kind of game I’ve been looking forward to since opening kickoff. After getting a lot of cupcake games completed, we finally getting a top 25 match-up. UCLA opened up their season with a 58-20 victory over Nevada, a game in which quarterback Brett Hundley threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns. Nebraska looked much better last weekend against Southern Miss, particularly on defense. With this major step up in competition, we’ll all get to see how much the Blackshirts have really improved. UCLA gets an advantage coming into this game with an extra week to prepare, but playing in the Sea of Red is the equalizer for Nebraska. Expect lots of fireworks in this game.

Akron @ #11 Michigan

This game is going to be ugly. After coming off a great win over rival Notre Dame, the Wolverines get a nice cupcake in Akron to destroy. Akron is horrible, so I highly doubt we see another Toledo moment. Don’t expect to see a lot of Devin Gardner here, as Michigan will have a lot of backups playing in this game.

Youngstown State @ Michigan State

Michigan State features one of the most atrocious offenses in the country, but also one of the best defenses in the nation. Youngstown State comes into the game 2-0. The Penguins will probably make things close for a couple of quarters, but I just don’t see them pulling off the upset. The Spartans will attempt to have an offense, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Look for Michigan State to kick lots of field goals and of course score a defensive touchdown.

Iowa @ Iowa State

This annual rivalry game has been fun to watch the last couple of seasons. Well at least for non-Hawkeye fans. After winning three straight in this series, Iowa has lost the last two. Last year in a defensive struggle, the Cyclones edged out a 9-6 victory. In the last 16 match-ups of this rivalry, Iowa State actually has the advantage with a 9-7 record. Both fan bases will be fired up for this one and both need the win to build momentum going into conference play. Expect another tight game again this weekend.

UCF @ Penn State

UCF comes into this game with two squash victories over Akron and Florida International, so this is the first real test of the season for the Knights. Quarterback Blake Bortles has lived up to expectations, completing 30 of 43 passes for 528 yards and four touchdowns. Penn State is coming off an easy win over Eastern Michigan. Nittany Lion quarterback Christian Hackenberg got off to a shaky start, but got it together and threw for over 300 yards. I give UCF a solid chance of winning this game and I really think it will come down to which quarterback can be better leader and deliver when it counts.

#19 Washington @ Illinois

Illinois shocked everyone last week when they dominated Cincinnati. Nathan Scheelhaase had a great game again and is poised to be one of the best quarterbacks in the B1G. But they have a tough match-up against a Washington team that got a lot of people buzzing after they demolished Boise State in the opening weekend. The Huskies are led by the one-two punch of quarterback Keith Price and running back Bishop Sankey. I’m going to give Illinois a fighting chance in this game and I’ll be pulling for the Illini to pull off the upset. But I’m picking the Huskies to take care of business and for them to establish themselves as one of the top contenders in the PAC-12.

#21 Notre Dame @ Purdue

I don’t see much hope for the Boilermakers in this game. Notre Dame is pissed coming off the loss to Michigan and I look for them to take their anger out in this game. Quarterback Tommy Rees threw over 300 yards against a solid Wolverine defense, so he should have no problem dissecting Purdue’s defense. Irish defensive standouts Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix III should also have great games against a mediocre Purdue offense. It’s clearly a rebuilding year for the Boilermakers.

Western Michigan @ #17 Northwestern

The Broncos come into this game 0-2 with losses against Michigan State and FCS foe Nicholls State. They let Michigan State score 26 points against them, so that gives you an idea of what Northwestern’s offense can do in this game. Quarterback Kain Colter and running back Venric Mark are still banged up, but they won’t be needed in this game. Look for the Wildcats to get an easy win after opening the season with two BCS teams.

#20 Wisconsin @ Arizona State

Out of all of the B1G games (other than the Buckeyes of course), I look forward to this game the most. Why? Because we finally get to see if the Badgers are the real deal after feasting on two cupcakes. Wisconsin rushed for over 600 yards the first two games (slightly more than what BYU rushed against Texas last week). Arizona State shutout Sacramento State 55-0 last week and this is also their first real test of the season. The Sun Devils are a solid team all-around and dare I say one of their best in recent memory. On offense they’re led by quarterback Taylor Kelly and running back Marion Grice. Both players have gotten off to solid starts. On defense, all eyes are on one player: Will Sutton. Sutton is an absolute beast, standing over 6 feet tall and weighing 288 pounds. Last season, Sutton racked up 13 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss. Needless to say he is an absolute nightmare for offensive coordinators. And that is what this game will come down to: Sutton and the Sun Devil’s defense against the Badgers’ rushing juggernaut of James White, Melvin Gordon and Corey Clement. The winner of this match-up will win the game.

The sub par performance of Week 1 set a spark under the Buckeyes, going in to their match up in Week 2.  Now, Ohio State is 2-0, and about to embark on their first serious road trip of the 2013 season.  The Buckeyes first road trip last season, a win against Sparty, was the catalyst of Ohio States undefeated season.  Will this Cal game be the catalyst Sparty was for us last year?  Maybe, maybe not.  Whatwe do know is this, California will present a great challenge for the Ohio State defense, and a great opportunity for the Ohio State offense.  However, the more interesting match-up of those two will be how the OSU defense handles the Cal “Bear Raid” offense.

The mastermind behind the Bear Raid Offense: Head Coach Sunny Dykes

The Golden Bears were put under new management in the off-season.  Head coach Sunny Dykes, is the new man in charge in Berkley.  He is a disciple of Mike Leach’s air raid offense, and has implemented part of that philosophy, in to the Cal football program.  Waiting for Dyke upon his arrival, was shiny, new, four star, true freshman quarterback, Jared Goff.  Goff won the quarterback competition, in camp, and he, and the coaching staff, have not looked back since.  Dykes also inherited a dangerous running back duo, in junior Brendan Bigelow and sophomore Daniel Lasco.

Dykes, like our own Tom Herman, is an offensive genius.  While many fans will assume that he is a pass first play caller, his offense last year, at Louisiana Tech, was one of the most balanced in the nation.  Dykes air raid philosophy is exemplified more in the wide receivers route combinations, and than in the play calling aspect of his offense.  Do they lead the nation in pass offense?  Yes.  However, that is more due to their inability to run block  effectively, not Dykes play calling.  The Cal offense is averaging a pretty pedestrian 110 yards rushing per game, which has put pressure, to carry the offense, on the shoulders of their frosh quarterback.

Goff is already making in impact for the Golden Bears offense.  While his stats are impressive (935 yards, 4 touchdowns), his comfort level in this offense, is a major contributing factor to his early success.  Goff has a very accurate arm, and is very comfortable with staying in the pocket, spreading the ball out to his young, talented wide receivers, and racking up the yardage.  He has great feet, and can get you a few yards, as a runner, if he has to escape the pocket.  The only area of Goff’s game he struggles in, is his inability to consistently drive the ball down the field.  Therefore, a lot of Goff’s passes are screens, drags, slants, and quick outs.  Those type of route combinations, give Goff the ability to take three steps, and quickly get the ball out to his play-makers.

Cal’s young play-makers will be a handful for the Ohio State secondary.  Cal did lose their leading receiver, Keenan Allen, to the NFL draft, this past off-season.  However, the young group of wide receivers they have replacing him will, through a group effort, make up for the loss of production.  In their first two games, the Golden Bear receiving corp, has had three wide receivers register 100 yard plus games (Bryce Treggs, Chris Harper, Richard Rodgers).  They have also had as many as 10 different receivers register receptions.  Treggs, Harper, and Rodgers are the three main threats, however, Cal will lineup several different types of receivers, and will find a way to get them all the ball.  This is not only due to how much depth and talent they have, but also due to the tempo of offense they run.

The most alarming thing about Cal is the amount of plays this team runs.  In their first two games, Cal’s offense is averaging 97 plays per game.  Allow me to put that in to perspective.  Oregon is only averaging 70 plays per game so far this season, and averaged 83 plays per game last year under Chip Kelly.  While this number is staggering, it is misleading, due to the inefficiencies Cal has scoring points.

The only slight on this offense is that they don’t score as often as they should, running this many plays.  This offense is only averaging 33.5 points per game.  While they don’t have the amount of talent as an Oregon, or Ohio State, when you run that many plays, in my opinion, your offense should be averaging around the 40 to 42 point per game total.  They rank 9th in yards per game,averaging 582.5 yards per game, but 55th in points per game, only averaging 33.5.  Compare that to a team with a similar offense, like Texas Tech.  Texas Tech is ranked 6th in yards per game, at 596, but here’s the difference- they’re ranked 9th in points per game at 51.  Once Cal improves its ability to finish drives, this offense will be extremely dangerous, until then they’re a lot of bark with no bite.

So how does the Ohio State defense deal with this Cal offense?  Expect the Ohio State defense to be in a lot of Dime package this weekend.  Specifically, expect the Buckeyes to roll out their 3-2-6 dollar package.  In the Buckeyes base Dime package, Ryan Shazier is the single linebacker, and Corey Brown comes in at the Mike.  This weekend, if the defense lines up in the Dollar, there will be two nickel backs, or stars, on the field.  That may give way for freshman Vonn Bell to see some playing time, however, Corey Brown may get the nod over the true freshman early on.  These two looks will allow the Buckeyes to get more speed on the field, to deal with the empty look Cal often lines up in.  The Buckeyes certainly have the personnel to match-up with the Bear Raid, but there are a couple areas the defense will need to excel at, in order to properly shut down Goff and the Golden Bears.

I expect our defensive front to stuff Cal’s inept run offense.  The Bear Raid averages only 110 yards rushing per game, and I don’t expect them to get to a 100 yards rushing against our front four this week.  Therefore, that leaves this defense with two major goals going in to this game:  decrease yards after catch; by wrapping up receivers and gang tackling, and get pressure on Goff.

So far this season, our secondary has been above average in the tackling department.  Against Buffalo, young defensive backs like Armani Reeves, struggled to consistently wrap up and prevent yards after catch.  However, the secondary seemed much more aggressive and efficient with their tackling against San Diego State.  Much of that can be accredited to the return of Roby and Barnett, and a healthy Shazier.  The pass rush should find some success this weekend as well.  Cal has forfeited nine sacks this season, and their offense also gives pass rushers several opportunities to get after the quarterback, with how often they pass.  This game will be a good opportunity for the pass rush to really get going, and potentially catapult itself in to a successful 2013 campaign of wreaking havoc on quarterbacks.  If Ohio State does those things well, then expect a low scoring game from Goff, and his Bear Raid offense.

Now if the Bear Raid is grounded this week, expect the Buckeye offense to take advantage of any possessions Cal leaves on the field.  Cal’s defense has allowed, through their first two games:  530.5 yards per game, and have relinquished 37 points per game.  Even without a 100% Braxton Miller, this offense should have an enormous amount of success against Cal.  The Golden Bear defense doesn’t do much well on defense.  They give up a lot of yardage on the ground, and through the air.  It will be vital for this offense to get rolling early, and have a good performance against a below average defense like this.  This will be a great opportunity for aspects of our offense, that haven’t been as sharp as anticipated, to improve and really catapult themselves, as we are two weeks out of conference play.

The Buckeye run game has looked okay, but there has not been much of a power aspect to it.  Last week we saw a lot of speed options to Dontre, which was fun to watch, but this offense is missing its bread and butter, inside zone run.  Rod Smith and Warren Ball should get that opportunity early in the game this Saturday.  Since it is our first road game this year, I’m expecting the play calling to be a little conservative to start the game out, by establishing the run and silencing the crowd.  Once the crowd is taken out of it, start to see the Buckeye offense open things up.

This trio will need to bring a little more punch to the Ohio State offense. (From left to right: Jordan Hall, Brionte Dunn, Rod Smith)

.Jeff Heuerman made a brief appearance last week, but expect to see more of him and Nick Vannett this week.  As we face tougher competition, I would expect Coach Herman to open up the play book a little more, and more, as we go along through the season.  Expect our tight ends to get some touches this week.

Also, I would like to see Dontre, Ezekiel, Philly, somebody, break a few tackles and take a 7 yard route, or an option pitch, and break it for a 40 or 50 yard touchdown run.  I feel like this offense is growing very rapidly, but they are not very good at breaking tackles.  All of those guys listed above, were touted as guys who you can put in open space, and they can make guys miss.  Dontre has done that some, Philly hasn’t done it enough.  The Buckeyes will have the opportunity to make some electric plays this Saturday.  Let’s hope they capitalize on those opportunities.

Final Score- Ohio State 52 California Golden Bear 17

Good morning Buckeye Nation.

Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s funny or weird how things work out. Last week when I did my Q&A with a San Diego State Blogger I was sent questions to ask. Two of the three of those questions (which apparently never ran) came from a reader asking me to explain off field issues OSU had past off-season and did I think its unfair or reasonable that OSU acts as though rules and regulations don’t apply to them and that they should adhere to different standards than the rest of the NCAA.

This kind of ticked me off thinking where does this guy get off asking these questions. Then it hit me and I started to understand these guys get their info from the FOUR letter network the same one that felt like suing Ohio State cause they thought they were hiding information in there overzealous attempt to bring the Scarlet and Gray down. They read sites with folks who make crazy allegations about the Buckeyes head coach like a Clay Travis.

As we Buckeye fans have seen over the years there is a national hate for our beloved Buckeyes like it or not. Haterade Nation loves seeing anything negative about The Ohio State University and anytime you can dig some up and run with it your web hits on your site go through the roof and you network viewership goes up pleasing advertisers.

Here is the thing myself along with the Buckeye Nation faithful don’t understand why all the outrage for what the Ohio State players did? Yes they broke NCAA rules and yes Jim Tressel did what he did leading to his demise. Folks were up in arms about how Ohio State let the guilty players play in the Sugar Bowl like the Sugar Bowl officials or the NCAA would let the players be benched and ruin their ratings when the game could be vacated later. Folks were on TV or in the national media and bloggers were yelling and screaming about how the Ohio State players were thugs for selling items they earned to get tattoos and or cash.

We all know that the nation rallied behind Johnny Football after his accusations came out that the NCAA cleared him of. I mean he didn’t get payed for those thousands of signatures cause every college student athlete would spend hours of their free time signing THOUSANDS of items for a broker to make money from that the player would NEVER see a dime from. He was suspended for a half because he violated the spirit of the rules or something along those lines.

Where was the outrage? The kids clearly a thug for allegedly selling his autograph right?

Nope nothing here lets move on wait what players SHOULD get paid? Funny there wasn’t any of this sentiment a few years ago hypocrisy at its finest.

Around the time of Tattoo Gate Clay Travis did dig up some dirt on Alabama and some of the things going on there. Of course everyone blasted Mr. SEC saying he was an Auburn guy and he was hating on the Crimson Tide. Naturally the NCAA and Alabama found nothing wrong and moved on. So did the national media.

This is how you apparently get to cover stuff up or hide it however you want to explain nothing getting done or found.

We can talk about the endless dragged out never going to get done with investigation into the University of Miami. You know the one that seemed to start decades ago. Yup the same “U” that was one hit with sanctions and such for doing what they are accused of doing now, that they will get off on because well the NCAA dropped the ball.

This week there have been two big stories that have broke about allegations about Oklahoma State and some schools in the SEC.

SI.com is running a five part series into what they allegedly have uncovered going on at Oklahoma State. I am not going to go into the details as for I don’t know if any or all of these allegations are true so I’m not going to speculate I just want to see if there is going to be the same outrage that the Buckeyes had to endure and if the wonderful FOUR letter network will treat this the same way and do an outstanding investigatory job.

Will they be running their segments leading off with the Cowboy investigation? Will they sue to get what they want? Will their “experts” blast the players and coaches (if true) like they did for the Buckeye players?

Then yesterday Y! Sports breaks a story alleging 5 SEC players received improper benefits. Again I’m not going to comment because I don’t know the truth, but they say where there is smoke there is fire.

Folks around the country always says Buckeye Nation is full of themselves thinking everything must revolve around them. The Buckeyes fan are pompous, arrogant, and they think everyone is out to get them. They don’t feel as we do in that there is a different standard for Ohio State than the rest of the nation. Lets see how these investigations play out and what the national media does and see if there is a different standard just like the handling of the Oregon investigation. There wasn’t wall to wall coverage on that and when the sanctions got handed down 2 sec segment and move one.

Everyone came down hard on Urban and his players for the actions of the kids this summer saying he doesn’t have control over his players but he suspends Hyde three games for his actions. Les Miles (who’s allegedly involved in Ok. St investigation) lets his team vote on letting a violent criminal play.

Hater Nation will show their true colors as it always does and Scarlet and Gray will always be villains.

Play angry my friends.

Until next time Buckeye Nation…
