I think we'll fair a little better than UM did vs Indiana.

BUCKEYES 21-0 with 13:23 in 2nd.....

.....and I picked Indy +23'?  Well maybe Tressel will put the subs in early, real early.

OHIO STATE 38 Indiana 10

Coach Tressel win number 100.

Congrats on Tressel's 100th victory and a convincing one at that too. I'm very confident that our Buckeye squad can go real far, seeing if they can get past Wisconsin, Penn State and for the first time in awhile Michigan (Yes I know we play them every year annually but this year I actually see them as a threat) we're back in the National Championship spotlight.

I can only hope TP stays healthy though. He has taken a couple of hits this year.

Busy day today.  Coached my sons team this morning and then headed right to the OSU game today.  Seats were good.  It was total Buckeye domination.  The score doesn't reflect the a complete dominating performance by our Buckeyes.

This game was over in the 1st quarter and it took UM 59 minutes to beat them.   We also saw today UM isn't the darling the media wants them to be, nor is Robinson.

I didn't like that the refs tried to make it a flag football game.  Football means hitting.  The plethora of personal foul calls was a disgrace. 

We better hope Pryor stays healthy because if he goes down we go from being top 5 to possibly not even a top 25 team.

I like Saine as a receiver.  I also like that Jordan Hall and possibly Berry will get more carries.  We need to establish a better running game.   

Big game next week at night in Camp Randall with us being #1.

I like Saine as a receiver.  I also like that Jordan Hall and possibly Berry will get more carries.  We need to establish a better running game. You and I agree, Nate. I have been saying this for a while now. Saine is a nice weapon and a hell of an athlete, but NOT as a tailback. Put him in the slot and get him the ball ASAP in the open field, then let his God-given abilities do the rest.

Big game next week at night in Camp Randall with us being #1.  

Wisconsin stands NO CHANCE next week. They have been way too inconsistent, and the Buckeyes are playing with a purpose. OSU 31-10 next week.

I need to modify that statement. The Buckeyes are playing with extreme confidence now. The play of Terrelle this season has been not only a leap forward, but a quantum leap. I trust our coaches to come up with a quality offensive game plan that exploits the Wisconsin defensive weaknesses.
Our defense is one of the best I have seen in a while. Maybe not as many of the "name" stars, but playing very well as a team. Wisconsin does have offensive abilities, but they have not been able to consistently put them together. If we don't turn the ball over, and eliminate their big plays - we'll be fine.

Heh, Michigan disappointed me. I figured they had it made for this season, then comes this crazy loss against Mich State. With this turn of events if we can take down Wisconsin in their house next week, that pretty much defines our season as the Big Ten Champions right off the bat. Penn State and Michigan can still play as spoilers in the season but as long as we can stay focused, those games are ours.

I'm hoping we can stay undefeated and be #1 for a long time. Maybe this time we'll have a happy ending and win the championship...but for now it's still too early to tell.

[Nate]

I figured UM was going to lose.  MSU was is a physical team that can actually tackle and Robinson didn't out athlete the MSU defense.   This will be the problem with most teams UM play in the Big 10 besides the lower level teams. 

If we get past Wisky next week, we are on a collision course with Iowa.   They are very good and disciplines and it'll be a night game and they'll be waiting for us.   As of right now, based on what I've seen, Wisky and Iowa look like the toughest games the rest of the way.
