Here were a couple quotes from the blog that agree with or confirm things said previously about the game:
...If you watched the game, you probably noticed Ohio’s offensive line getting stronger as the game wore on. The numbers backed it up....The offensive line in general deserves praise for holding up well, and then exerting control in the final two quarters....
Ohio did play a variety of looks, especially when it came to blitzes. I saw the Bobcats blitz single linebacker, flood the A gaps, use zone blitzes, bring corners and safeties at times, and even experiment with an overload a time or two.
The other interesting thing is that the blog confirms that the data in the game stats, in the "participation" section has errors. Only three true Freshmen played, Hale, Croutch, and Provitt, and only six offensive linemen. I have been wondering if they will try to redshirt Preuhs (and hoping they will, as I'd love to have him as the starting center for three full years). The game stats show that he played, as well as Addrell Taylor, but per Arkley, they didn't.
http://tinyurl.com/ow2feus The other thing he mentions in the blog related to the participation is that Ohio used 5 Defensive tackles, and 5 defensive ends. The game stats show 4 defensive tackles (Sayels, Tautuaiki, Porter, Aloese) but exclude Purdum, who I saw on the field. The game stats only show 3 defensive ends (Basham, Laseak, Smart), but don't show the other two who likely played, Berger and Robbins. Purdum, Robbins, and Berger are 95, 96, and 97 respectively, so maybe the participation report was truncated at 92 unintentionally.
