Ohio State is losing to Miami Ohio!

Agree. Hopefully Buckeye78 will return as promised. I'd like to hear his comments about T Pryor/Boeckman. To me, Boeckman looked like a BAD backup compared to Pryor. How long will Buckeye nation tolerate it?

In his defense, he has two HUGE holding calls go against the team that could've made it a different ballgame. But that begs another question. Remember the BCSNCG? We went in as one of the...if not THE most penalized team in the country. Yet they were the ones that shot themselves in the foot with dumb penalties in that game. Well, they did it again tonight. They seem to do it in big games a lot. Coaching?

 

You had me until Illinois, Purdue, and Mich St. Otherwise, nice post.:thumb:

 

He is still a great player. I dunno if you noticed this, but he was still in on every play he could possibly be in on. He doesn't do extraordinary things as often as a lot of other great linebackers from the past, but he does extra ordinary things. That is what he is good at. He always brings it. Even when the game was out of hand, he kept on going and going and going because that is still part of who he was. He caused USC to be stopped for no gain or for only a few yards on numerous occasions. He just keeps on going and going and going. He is still a great player, and he has great character. Whenever the defense stopped USC and caused them to punt, he was in on it.

Illinois is having a rough start. But, I still think they will recover and I think they will be able to offer a tough game as a road game at Illinois. Purdue giving up that lead today was a joke, no question. Michigan State had a rough game at Cal, but I still think they will offer a challenge as a road game at Michigan State.

 

This is all good and well, but remember the egg that Illinois laid in the Rose Bowl last year. It was laughable. Purdue is, well, Purdue--they are like South Carolina, never quite being able to step up the next level. I don't even want to discuss MSU.

With all of that being said, OSU could lose to any of them, along with Penn State. I don't think they'll lose them all, mind you. If it's any consolation, the Buckeyes should continue their dominance of Michigan (will anyone care after a while?) because they are beyond pathetic.
