Minnesota Football: Charting the Offense Against Ohio

A much better offensive performance this week. Minnesota did a good job staying on schedule throughout the game. The offense was far less predictable, and even made use of constraint plays to the flat. What a concept!

As a reminder, I'm staying deliberately simple in what to chart. I record the drive number, starting field position, down and distance, the personnel grouping, whether the play was a run or a pass, the result of the play, and include comments for each play.

From my comments this week, Minnesota's actual play calling was simple but effective. Mitch Leidner was effective passing the ball, particularly on intermediate throws and passes to the flat.
