Buckeye Recap

Offense schmoffense

Who needs offense when your defense/special teams scores three touchdowns? The Offense really struggled today. They had one drive that lasted longer than three minutes. They had only two drives that lasted longer than six plays. They were outgained 368 total yards to 184. The offense was on the field for three plays in the third quarter. And they won by 18. Nice.

It is great when your defense not only wins the game for you but controls the game for you as well. The Bucks racked up 6 sacks. Ross Homan led the way with 15 tackles, Spitler was huge, seemed to be all over the Wisconsin backfield. Coleman and Hines both had pick sixes and Ray Small ran a kickoff back 96 yards for a TD.

I thought Pryor would be the X-factor but he really didn't need to be. Although he did look good ona two minute drill to close out the first half with a touchdown pass to Posey. A win is a win is a win. I'll take 31-13 every week.

Go Bucks!!

Buckeye Minutiae

Small's return was the first kickoff returned for a TD by a Buckeye since Ted Ginn in that game we all want to forget.

2 Pick Sixes in the same game happened for the first time since 2006 against Penn State.

This might have been the first game with 2 TD interception returns and a Kick Off return for a touchdown by the Buckeyes but I can't find anything to back that up.

Number 59 watch

A couple of sightings on the sidelines. I'm going to try to get him to waive a towel or something.
