The game was as exciting as the score indicates as Ohio State waltzed to a 43-7 victory over Ohio U.
Terrelle Pryor threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in the win,
Next week features Eastern Michigan in a game that looks to be just as thrilling to watch.
Buckeye Leaves
1) When the most exciting thing to happen in the game was a mascot fight,it was a dull contest.
2) Terrelle Pryor hit sixteen straight passes in a row in the first half,but his late first and early second half interceptions both were downfield and into double coverage.
Just goes to show that despite his progress,Pryor still has a way to go as a passer.
3) Still more special team issues as Julian Posey (DeVier's brother) returned a kickoff for a touchdown,but a penalty called it back.
I sometimes wonder how many "called back" touchdowns on returns would have happened had the play been a "clean one" to begin with?
In any case,still things to be refined there...
4) Five turnovers for the defense showed the dominance,but Ohio made it easier with their refusal to play Boo Jackson at quarterback.
Jackson played very well for the Bobcats in their game with OSU two years ago and threw Ohio's only score late in the game.
5) Cameron Heyward is the best defensive lineman in the game and I would wager he wins the Lombardi trophy this year in Houston.
Simplistic statement,I know,but I cannot imagine a lineman better than Heyward.
6) ABC must be thrilled to be showing the OSU-Eastern Michigan game this week,
Eastern Michigan has lost its last 15 games.
This one looks to be a name your score until Jim Tressel decided to wave the white flag on the offense...
