Sorry for the heavy topic last post. It was just something that I saw and had strong feelings about. I promise that this post will be lite and lively. Not to mentioned filled with Buckeye goodness!
Ok, this week, OSU went to IOWA and blasted the Hawkeyes 38-17. Tate for Heisman? Not anymore! He was picked off more than a and sacked repeatedly. The Ohio State offense was able to move through the Iowa defense like a warm knife moves through butter. Iowa's crowd tried to intimidate the Buckeyes by wearing all yellow and were being rowdy. It worked last year at Penn State (OSU's last loss) but the Buckeyes were able to make the crowd sit down and shut up by taking their first possession and driving for a touchdown. "Troy Smith to Anthony Gonzalez." seemed like the catch phrase of the day, seeing as how Gonzo always seemed to be open at the right time and always seemed to get either a first down or a touchdown. The best play of the game was when Smith hooked up for Gonzo and Gonzo was able to weave through the Iowa defense and make it to the endzone. Probably the best part of the play was the blocking that the other receivers were throwing for Gonzo down field. This OSU team is really living up to the word 'team'. They are unselfish when playing and give each other the credit for their success when interviewed.
Most people agree that Iowa was the last real challenge for the Buckeyes until November 18th when the team from up north comes to the 'Shoe for the last game of the regular season. The remaining games are against Bowling Green, Michigan State, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and Northwestern. These games aren't garunteed wins, but all of the teams mentioned have lost several games and none are ranked in the top 25. As long as the Buckeyes don't fall asleep, they should be 11-0 when M*ch*g*n rolls into town. On the other side of the coin, M*ch*g*n will more than lakely be undefeated as well. Depending on what happens around the country, OSU and scUM could be #1 and #2 when they meet in November. If that is the case, OSU will be playing their second 1 vs 2 game of the season (having won the first one against Texas). Wow. I am pretty excited about where this season is going.
