Here's how Matt Weiss' offense beat Ohio State's defense Saturday afternoon.
“We were ready for everything: for overtime, for a two-point shootout, whatever came up,” Weiss said. “A lot of the big plays we hit base, Day 1 training camp stuff.”first touchdown pass to wide receiver Cornelius Johnson was a perfect example. He said it happened because of a check by the quarterback identifying a zero blitz, throwing a hitch route as he drifted away from the free rusher leading to a 69-yard score.

He maintained the Buckeyes showed more “off-coverage on tape.” “Just the way that they played us, no one had really tried to do that,” Weiss said. “There’s very few teams that really came up and played with no depth in the defense and sold out to stop the run. That’s not something that we had seen. The way that they played created a bit of opportunity.”
Against Ohio State, McCarthy threw for 263 yards, throwing three touchdown passes to Johnson and Colston Loveland on 45-yard passes or more, a deep ball, Weiss said, Michigan sees “every day in practice.” After finding success with his arm, McCarthy helped open up the run game, leading an offense that recorded 252 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 35 carries.
