Buckeye Recap


nos venit , nos vigilo , nos erant evinco

26-18.
The Buckeyes appear to be vastly over rated. It looks like the rest of the country is correct. The Bucks get dominated, on the road, by a one win team. The vaunted defense is shredded for 465 yards and the offense is pathetic. The OSU rushing game managed a total of 66 yards today. 66. Sixty-Six. This coming against a team that gives up an average of 185. Turnovers were huge, as always and Ohio State just gave the ball away too much. The defense did hold Purdue to field goals on several short drives but they were on the field way too much. The "D" better figure out the short passing game because they are going to see it the rest of the season. Our offensive line was dominated, blown-up and destroyed, play after play after play. This has been a problem all season and must be corrected. Adams and Browning looked terrible.

Tressel really needs to seriously think about a couple of things. The first is letting someone else call the plays. And if the plays are too complicated for a player, replace him.

This is, at least to me, the worst loss of The Vest's OSU Career. Losing to an SEC team in a Bowl, or a high ranked USC / Texas type during the regular season is one thing but losing to a one win team in week seven is another. I don't ever remember that happening before to Ohio State.

Go Bucks!
