OSU comes into this season ranked number two in the nation, and things could go very well for us this year, with a favorable home and away schedule.  To begin, there is the obvious fact that of the 12 games on the regular season schedule, only four of them have that little “@” sign in [...]

The 2010 Ohio State Football season is at last upon us, and with my kids finally growing a bit more autonomous, I can return to blogging about one of my favorite subjects, Ohio State Football. There are three important things for OSU to accomplish this year in order to have a successful season (one where [...]

Not very impressive.  This could be due to a lot of reasons.  As I stated in the pre-game analysis, Navy is a very tough team for which to prepare.  They run an offense unlike any other in college football.  They also use a cut blocking scheme that takes the defensive linemen to their knees and [...]

Three things to look for in this game.  Two are functions of Navy being outmatched athletically.  First, any scoring done in the second half against Navy should be disregarded as a barometer for OSU prowess.  Navy’s first teamers may be able to stay with OSU’s starters for a while, but once they start to tire, Navy’s second [...]

Go Blue, a U of M fan ever since he left the friendly confines of the 270 highway loop surrounding Columbus to travel north to get his certificate of attendance from U of M has recently opined upon the reasons that the U of M should not fire Rich Rodriguez. As an OSU fan, I [...]

OSU’s problems this year have centered around its offensive line play.  These guys are talented underachievers.  There is simply no way around that.  I will give them credit for a good game against Illinois.  But one game isn’t enough, especially when you compare it to their performances against Ohio U., USC, and PSU.  The terrible [...]

As an OSU fan, I am naturally predicting an OSU win.  But there is more to it than simple partisanship.  The real problem that Michigan has (and has had all year) is not their defense.  While the defense has given up points, it has done so mostly when placed in terrible positions by the offense.  [...]

>rent a car bulgarian’t blame Pryor for this loss.  The fumble was a fluke and the interception was what happens with a freshman in a desperate situation trying to make a play. The defense played pretty well, holding Penn State to 13 points, 7 of which resulted from a turnover putting the Nittany Lions in [...]

Purdue has the worst rush defense and the worst pass defense in the Big Ten.  We didn’t score an offensive touchdown against them, and we didn’t really come close to doing so either. We have the worst offensive line in the Big Ten.

And so it begins.  Terrelle Pryor passed for four TDs and had another one dropped by Brian Robiskie who had gotten past the last man on defense by a few yards, but mysteriously short-armed the grab.  Todd Boeckman had a total of three snaps. There were the normal freshman mistakes.  We had an illegal movement [...]
