Another game won by the Buckeye...Offense???
That's right! This time the offense rose up to the occasion and won this weekend's game at Minnesota. Troy Smith passed well to all of his receivers and tight ends, the running game heated up with Antonio Pittman busting a ruge run for a touchdown, and special teams chimed in when Tedd Ginn brought a kick off back 100 yards and took it to the house! The scary part, Minnesota's offense actually out played the defense during the first half. The Silver Bullets allowed more running yards in the first half then they had in any previous total game. They made some adjustments in the second half and were able to shut down the Gophers, allowing the offense to take over and run up the points. The game wasn't as close as the 45-31 score indicates. Yes, it was a 17-17 tie at the half, but OSU took over the second half (the last Minnesota TD was scored against the second team defense. Now the Buckeyes are tied for the Big Ten lead with Wisconsin and Penn State. Penn State has the tie breaker since they topped OSU a few weeks ago. So, what we need to have happen is Wisconsin needs to beat Penn State this weekend, then Iowa needs to beat Wisconsin next weekend, and Ohio State needs to beat Illinois and Northwestern at home and M*ch*g*n in that pit they call a stadium. Then we will have an all out Big Ten title. If the offense can keep things going, Ohio State has a good chance to win their remaining three games.
