Hitting Rewind: Offense vs. Penn State

  • By Jason - October 28th, 2008

This makes me feel a little better

One of the things that The Meshed One touched on Saturday night was the need for Ohio State to further diversify their offense — break out of some tendencies. A lot of us have been beating that same drumbeat for a while and probably hardest in the direction [...]

A Most Humble Request

  • By Jason - October 27th, 2008

We object to this nonsense!

Remember the stat you heard flying around after the drubbing in Los Angeles? The one about how it was the first time the Buckeyes had failed to score a touchdown since the Michigan game 12 years earlier? 141 consecutive games that saw Ohio State cross the goal line in [...]

Random Notes on Matta’s Open Practice

  • By Chris - October 27th, 2008

Excited to get my first look at this year’s hoops squad, I ventured down to the Schott on Saturday to catch the one and only practice/scrimmage session open to the public. Fans were allowed into the lower bowl and I’d guess about 1,000-,1500 showed up.

Blogpoll: Week 9

We know [...]

Turnover Margin Once Again Dooms Buckeyes
While it’s not groundbreaking to say teams that lose the turnover battle normally lose the game, it is amazing just how bad Ohio State has been with regard to turnover margin in big games. Pryor’s game changing [...]

All Good Things…

  • By Jason - October 26th, 2008

Shh.. Do you hear the sound of the Big Ten’s new alpha dog?

Looks like the Buckeyes won’t get that third consecutive outright league title after all.

Behind an amazing performance out of their defensive front, steady play out of backup quarterback Pat Devlin and a timely turnover, Penn State eked out a 13-6 win in Ohio [...]
