Alright, I am not one who hesitates to point out weaknesses and areas for improvement, but I am having trouble figuring out why people weren't completely elated with the end of that game. Comebacks like that, and with a backup QB, are rare!
So, I want try some therapy to work on the negativity here. Use this thread for one purpose only- say one thing you like about this Buckeye team. Don't be sarcastic or throw in backhanded complements, just find one thing or player or whatever you truly love and say it.
I'll go first: I love the heart in this team. This team steps up in moments of adversity.
This team is 8-0 and has won some tough games. That makes me proud.
Tremendous heart by the team, defense looked better, offense looked capable w/Guiton out there (which might be big if Braxton has to sit out a game or two). A lot to be happy about!
We won a game I'm sure everyone myself included thought we were going to lose, not to mention we also loss our QB to boot .... Not so fast my friend, not only did we win, but we found out our 2nd stringer is solid, and our starting QB is ok..... Go Bucks!
Every top team not named Alabama or Oregon has been in at least 1 game this year against a bad team that was far to close for comfort, ie. Florida vs. BG, LSU vs. Towson, South Carolina vs. Vandy, Kansas State vs. Texas State, etc.
It's good to see that our offense can actually function if Miller were to go down for an extended period of time. I'd like to see us actually throw more, but Carlos Hyde has now had 3 straight weeks looking like a true stud RB that we haven't had IMO since Beanie.
I love that they never quit.
They're the Buckeyes. That's what I love
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, & Michigan still sucks
It was fantastic to see some offensive players step up when we needed them. Both Braxton Miller and Corey "Philly" Brown go down with injuries and their backups Kenny Guiton and Chris Fields connect on a game-tying TD. Just awesome.
I'm totally elated and pumped to be 8-0
For all the fans upset I ask a very simple question: would you rather look good and be 7-1or look like crap and be 8-0?
I'll ask Craig Krenzell
I like that they're not Michigan
I like the fact that they can make some mistakes and play poorly at times, but still put one in the win column. They've got some guts and they didn't quit. Go Bucks.

Today was definatley not all bad. Jonathan Hankins continues to improve each game, Ryan Shazier had a wonderful game moving sideline to sideline, and as stated-this team knows how to win. That's a skill that carries you through otherwise bad games.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
I like that were 8-0 because at the end of the day it gives us the chance to be 9-0. This team will continue to improve
I like how we find different ways to win. Different aspects of the team stuggle in different weeks but the other side has always stepped up to get us the win. Last week our defense struggled but our offense got them through, this week our offense struggled but the defense kept us in the game.
I love the hot dogs they serve at Ohio Stadium.

We have the best backup QB anyone could ever want
I love the relationship between the team/coaches and the students. Seeing Urban and the players delay Carmen Ohio by a few minutes because they (especially Urbz) were too jacked up and emotional to not salute the fans was quite possibly my favorite moment as an OSU student, up there with storming the field last year.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
This team reminds me of the 2002 team. Lots of heart and willingness to win.

Beat Penn State!
Blasphemy!!! Those Ohio State hotdogs are excellent. I love this team and their never say die attitude (but those are some really, consistently good hotdogs and I'm not being sarcastic, maybe slightly off topic...but the down votes hurt.)

I'm glad I held back on the comment about how I like the Brats!
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
I have been touting Guiton and saying he is capable enough to win some games without any slight towards Braxton. I really thought we had two very capable QBs. Of course that was purely speculation.
I am glad to know that Guiton is capable, no gloating going on, and that if Braxton was out for a certain period of time, that the offense is in good hands!
Its nice to know there is a decent backup! Good win!
A.) I'm happy that my frustrations are over a flawed 8-0 team with insanely high testicular fortitude, instead of over a flawed 6-7 team (at the time) with no level of consistency or resolve.
B.) I'm happy that while the coaches are just as unsatisfied with this team as all of us rabid fans are, they can still do the same as us: recognizing the improbable resiliency of team made up of grown ass men.
I'm pleased to see a group of young men work together as a team when the going gets tough and become what they were not supposed to be at this point in the season.... 8 - 0
O H I O is the Buckeye State
They find a way to win. It may not be pretty, but they gut it out and get it done.
They have the mentality to not give up...BUT I love the fact that we got UfM and not Hoke!
So much heart.
Our honor Defend!
I lov Big Hank
8-0 which means an opportunity to go 9-0....I love that.
Players...I love Zach Boren. We found a Mike LB!!!!! WEEEEE!!!!!!!

This didn't feel like last week when we had Indiana throttled and seemed to let down and start giving up points to the point that we almost blew the game. This week I was frustrated during the game but came away more than thrilled (especially after hearing the good news about Brax) with the guts and resolve these guys showed to find a way to win.
I love that this team makes the plays when they are needed, regardless of how the rest of the game goes. I love the passion, the excitement, and the critical nature of Urban Meyer.
Not sure why D. Anthony's post about hot dogs got two thumbs down. Those stadium hot dogs are pretty good.
Class of 2010.
Down by a touchdown and two-point conversion with 47 ticks left and no timeouts and we win with our backup QB and guys, who hadn't been making plays, making plays. Still undefeated, our QB is not out for the season, defense played much better, and to top it off, we have a two-time national champ coach on the sideline who looks as excited as a rookie and his players are getting it.

I Love Lamp
Wait, that's not right...
I love that this team is never out of a ballgame. More Moxie than McGloin, and less defense than the Big 12.
If Denard Robinson isn't careful with spooning all that food into his mouth, he's going to end up lookin' like Whoopi Goldberg
@ShowThemOhiosHere Abuse of the voting system. I try and upvote anyone who was abused to make up for it and if I can get them more upvotes on top of that on their other post.
I enjoy that BTN is replaying it and i could record it
I like football
