Ohio State won their opener against Northern Illinois yesterday 35 to 12. I won't bore you with all of the details, since you can click on the link and check out ESPN.com. I will touch on a few things though:
Good:
Troy Smith looked GREAT as he passed for over 72%, almost 300 yards, and for 3 TDs.
Ted Ginn Jr. like he could get open at will. He had 4 catches for 123 yards and 2 TD
Antonio Pittman ran for over 100 yards.
Bad:
The offense lost the ball twice inside the red zone, costing two scoring opportunites
The kicking team missed two field goal attempts that, in the past, would have been a sure thing
All in all, I was happy with the offense and the defense. The defense gave up a few big plays, but was able to rally and hold NIU to 12 points. Next Saturday is the Big One doen in Austin Texas. It should be another good game and hopfully the Buckeyes will be able to come out on top this year. If the defense can improove a little bit and the offense can hold on to the ball, I think they have a good chance of winning.
