A freshman QB, bad OL play, and underwhelming play calling certainly were factors in Jeremiah Smith's performance against OBD. But make no mistake, DL and DC Hampton absolutely schemed for him.

Thanks Kirklandduck for putting the scoducks podcast on the Forum thread.

The network broadcast team did very little or nothing to explain to their viewers how OBD's Defense held Smith to 56 receing yards until garbage time.

The scoduck team really breaks it down.

If this game had been played in September the Duck D may have struggled to contain Smith.

Hats off to the defensive game plan by DL and Hampton. And for the execution by the players.

This defense is starting to dominate their opponents for long stretches of the game. Love to see the defense dominate a 4 quarter game.

Go Ducks

This video gives me a tremendous amount of confidence in what our Defensive Coordinator, (Chris Hampton) is doing. The greatest offensive weapon in America is shut-down until Garbage Time?

It was a major factor in our victory, and mostly overlooked. A second factor was the defensive play on fourth down for the Buckeyes...because of the score and timing within the game. It was huge, a major factor and also overlooked.

Excellent video, and THANKS!

Jeremiah was the primary reason I originally had this game as being OBD's only loss during conference play.

Our Young FRESHMAN was on him all day and closed incredibly fast when Jeremiah did get some separation.

I am becoming more impressed as the season goes on with Coach Hamptons growth and his D adapting to different situations, in game and otherwise. Not to the elite level DL and our fan base demands...but certainly making strides in the right direction. Don't think he is going anywhere after the season.

These next three games are primed for the defense to solidify their consistency and carry the Ducks (as they have most of the season) into the CFP and whatever awaits OBD once there.
