The challenge arose during the Michigan game, where OSU fell into a trap by relying too heavily on their running game instead of passing. Their strategy was off-target. Looking ahead to 2025, what’s your game plan? What adjustments will you implement to elevate both your personal and professional life?
The Buckeyes found their answer by making crucial adjustments to their offensive and defensive lines. They focused on safeguarding their QB, achieving a remarkable record of no sacks in the NCAA playoffs. They also increased their blitzing tactics, notably in the games against Tennessee and Oregon, resulting in eight sacks during the Oregon matchup. The loss to the ‘Blue Team’ turned out to be the best thing for the Buckeyes in 2024! To borrow a phrase from Pearl Harbor in 1941: “It awakened a sleeping giant!”
OSU QB Will Howard expressed his eagerness for the upcoming game, saying, “There was one team I never beat in the Big 12, and that was Texas. I’m really looking forward to this game.” After the victory over Oregon, he reflected on his previous encounters with Texas, noting, “We lost last year in overtime down there. I’m excited to have another shot at them; they’re a strong football team.”
Making necessary adjustments is essential in life, as demonstrated by the Buckeyes. Personally, I’m focusing on becoming more intentional in my business endeavors, dedicating quality time to family and friends, and engaging in more swimming and biking. I’m also committed to being grateful for where The Lord has positioned me to make a positive impact in my life’s classroom!
