DUBLIN, Ohio -- They know what's coming.
During the recently completed offensive meeting, some 32 hours before kickoff, quarterbacks coach and play-caller Jeremy Bates unveiled the scripted first 18 plays for Saturday night's game at Ohio State, meaning the players know what to expect and can begin to mentally prepare for the calls that will come on Saturday night.
And on top of that, every play that will be called on Saturday has been run multiple times during practices this week, which allows the Trojan offense to be mentally sharp come kickoff tomorrow night.
