That means they dropped 6 and the LB's were lined up on the LOS. They didn't have time to drop back to defend it. 1 LB went out to the flat. The safety (which should have been used as a prevent DB, I don't care what any of you say) had to move up to try and defend the pass, so it's one on one with the Safety since the LB couldn't drop back to cover over the middle.
Dumb play call, when all you have to do is stop a TD and you have less than 30 seconds to play, you let them take a few short completions and keep them in bounds. You make sure there is NEVER a time where one of their recievers gets behind the safety. When you allow it, then you are playing to lose. The safety should be there to tackle, not brought up as a pass defender in that situation.
Bad call? Maybe. But there's always next year and I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of teams out there that will wish they are as good as the Buckeyes will be. There a great program!
