I think it’s both, as you alluded to. OSU made adjustments by stacking the box, and we went conservative with the playcalling (and ran right into said stacked box).
I think Jake’s turnovers through the first two games have really impacted playcalling. I’m no football coach, but I’ve watched a lot of football. There are ways to be “conservative” with high percentage plays that aren’t so predictable.
Whitt seemed pretty upset with how Ludwig called the fourth quarter. Hopefully adjustments are made in practice this week.
