Cole Cubelic, SEC Network analyst, details how OSU can be successful in Peach Bowl matchup with Georgia

Cole Cubelic is an analyst for the SEC Network and is well accustomed to what Georgia brings to the table in the Peach Bowl matchup for Ohio State. While the Bulldogs possess another elite defense and top defensive mind in head coach Kirby Smart, Cubelic does believe there are some holes the Buckeyes can attack.
Cubelic noted some weaknesses for Georgia’s defense in terms of pressure of the edge. However, he also believes Ohio State’s offensive line has been a bit overrated at times.
“Georgia doesn’t have a dominant edge presence defensive, I think that helps Ohio State,” Cubelic said, and then noted that the Buckeyes’ offensive line is a bit overrated.
Cade Stover is another element in favor of the Buckeyes as a dynamic piece of the offense.

“CJ Stroud doesn’t rely on stepping up in the pocket over and over and over again,” Cubelic said. “Now they can work the middle of the field. They’re also really good on the perimeter; they’re also really good down the field outside the hash. … If Ohio State is holding things down on the edge, that could be a massive reason they find some success in the passing game. Me personally? I go into this game just airing it out.”
Cubelic also went on to say Georgia does a good job of precision blitzing and will try to test Ohio State’s offensive line in that regard.
