Efficient. For all of the struggles of the early season, today's win can be summed up perfectly by that one word. Ohio State methodically poured it on Air Force like all of Nick Myers' best teams. Picking spots, dominating the faceoff, good defense, and slowly squeezing the life out of teams. That's the recipe for Buckeye success under Nick Myers, and it's really a thing of beauty when everything comes together. It just hasn't come together all that often.
The season is absolutely flying by. With Air Force on tap for tomorrow, Ohio State will have already completed 29% of its regular season schedule. And we haven’t even hit March yet. Season will be half over by St. Patrick’s Day. Time really flies. The Falcons of Air Force welcome the Buckeyes to Colorado Springs hoping to get their first win of the season. Losses to Marquette and Denver have put Air Force in a 0-2 hole for this season, and they’ll be hungry to come out of tomorrow’s matchup with a win. Having said that, it’s going to be a tough road for both teams.

Two things are simultaneously true for Ohio State through two games: the offense is bad, and the offense is better. You can see some of the changes that new OC Justin Tuma is bringing to the table. But there's a lot of poor execution you're seeing that's going to cost Ohio State games this year.
Mea culpa, 11W. I had a nice preview, well researched and written, all ready to go. And then lost it. So instead, you get a down and dirty version. You get what you pay for with these, so all I can do is promise to be better next week.
