If you're a person who's been watching the Urban Meyer era at Ohio State from the beginning, you're not just accustomed to insane offensive performances that break the scoreboard, you demand them. So it's easy to understand how that mindset might lead to some extreme disappointment on your part as the Buckeyes but up a garbage offensive performance against Oklahoma and then followed that up with a better but still not amazing performance against Army.
But the thing is, mindblowing isn't really what Urban Meyer, J.T. Barrett, and Ohio State should be shooting for at this point. "Consistent" would be good. "Sensical" works too, but really "competent" is what the team is striving for, and yesterday afternoon they nailed it. Take a bow, gentlemen.

And that wraps it up for this week. Next time we get a little rowdy with UNLV, so expect tons of gambling jokes.
